Official Trump administration bungling response to pandemic thread.

[Spurs Homer]

she didn't take the bait

the correct answer would have also been the “safe” answer

your cult daddy might have even approved

but she is nothing but a worthless

like trump

[elbamba1]

Jake Tapper/CNN: “dr birks, what should the american people know about disinfectants and the human body?”

Correct and ONLY answer: “no human being should EVER ingest any disinfectant or any other dangerous chemical into their body.”

End of story - no one could have or would have blamed her or lost faith in her with this simple honest answer.

Instead her answer was: “blah semen-shield...blah...he was talking to the professional next to me...blah semen-shield..blah...important study...slurp...aerosolized virus...sunlight outside...blah-study-semen swallow- ....”


just a ing alley-oop slam dunk served up to her by Tapper as she stood on a ladder in front of the rim...and the worthless dishonest blew it...

Do you really believe that people are injecting bleach and Lysol into their bodies to fight the Coronavirus? Do you really believe that anyone heard Trump's comments and went out and did this? Lets use our brains for a minute here and agree that it was a stupid thing for Trump to say. It certainly belongs in the HOF for stupidest comments ever by a sitting president.

Lets also agree that it is equally stupid for anyone to think that someone heard those comments and thought, gee, i need to go drink some bleach. It is also stupid to think that anyone watching Jack Tapper or Meet the Press needs to hear Dr. Brix refute the comment. Lets all just appreciate the comment for what it is, an excellent subject for funny memes.

the “topic” was

dr birx’s credibility

it is gone



ask the relatives of the dead people who asked for chloroquine and died

if there are any people who would take something trump recommended.

If she gets fired she gets replaced by some hard right who will just echo whatever bull comes out of Trump's mouth. Chloroquine is still a drug in trials that doctors have been hopeful about, Trump didn't invent the .

“Right now, everyone is so confused by all the conflicting messages that,

each time the guidance evolves,

fewer and fewer people might follow it,” Besser, the former C.D.C. director, said.

“We’re going backward in our sophistication.”

Morale at the C.D.C. has plummeted.

“For all the responses that I was involved in,

there was always this feeling of camaraderie,

that you were part of something bigger than yourself,” another former high-ranking C.D.C. official told me.

“Now everyone I talk to is so dispirited.

They’re working sixteen-hour days, but they feel ignored.

I’ve never seen so many people so frustrated and upset and sad.

We could have saved so many more lives.

We have the best public-health agency in the world, and

we know how to persuade people to do what they need to do.

Instead, we’re ignoring everything we’ve learned over the last century.”

San Francisco mayor says city's PPE orders have been diverted, confiscated

San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) said Friday that her city’s orders for personal protection equipment (PPE) have been diverted to other U.S. cities and foreign countries.

“We’ve had issues of our orders being relocated by our suppliers in China,” she said at a press conference. “For example,

we had isolation gowns on their way to San Francisco and they were diverted to France.
We’ve had situations when

things we’ve ordered that have gone through Customs were confiscated by FEMA to be diverted to other locations.

"Through Customs, we’ve had situations where those

items have been taken and put out on the market for the highest bidder,

putting cities against cities and states against states."

We have the money to purchase the PPE, why can’t we purchase the PPE?”


an avalanche of criticism from mayors and governors across the country who say the federal government needs to do a better job of making equipment accessible.

“You can't have the states competing against the states, and

then by the way, when the federal government goes out to buy the same equipment for their stockpile,

now it's 50 states competing against the states and the federal government competing against the states,”

"Philips, I'd like you to do us a favor"

Super Negotiator Trump Pays Four Times Contracted Price For Ventilators, Not One Penny Less

in September, HHS signed a contract for Philips to make 10,000 of the things for the low, low cost (seriously, that's very low!) of just $3,280 per unit.

HHS announced Wednesday that it's signed a new contract with Philips to buy 43,000 ventilators from the company.

Not the inexpensive model developed at taxpayer expense, which has never gone into mass production, but instead the commercial variant, the Trilogy EV300, for which

HHS will pay more than $15,000 each, at a total cost of $646.7 million.

What a ing hole nation we live in. Trump tells everyone they're on their own, then comes and s them when they make their own preparations.

[picnroll]

The lead spokesperson should be a scientist. Dr. Richard Besser, a former acting C.D.C. director and an E.I.S. alumnus, explained to me, “If you have a politician on the stage, there’s a very real risk that half the nation is going to do the opposite of what they say.” During the H1N1 outbreak of 2009—which caused some twelve thousand American deaths, infections in every state, and seven hundred school closings—Besser and his successor at the C.D.C., Dr. Tom Frieden, gave more than a hundred press briefings. President Barack Obama spoke publicly about the outbreak only a few times, and generally limited himself to telling people to heed scientific experts and promising not to let politics distort the government’s response. “The Bush Administration did a good job of creating the infrastructure so that we can respond,” Obama said at the start of the pandemic, and then echoed the sohco by urging families, “Wash your hands when you shake hands. Cover your mouth when you cough. I know it sounds trivial, but it makes a huge difference.”At no time did Obama recommend particular medical treatments, nor did he forecast specifics about when the pandemic would end.

Long but good article about the early response to the pandemic. Bottomline, anyone who voted for Trump should never be allowed to vote again.

yep, excellent journalism.

Seattle vs NYC, why the different outcomes?

Seattle (and SF Bay Area counties) let the scientists, professionals, doctors decide,

while NYC got side-tracked, misguided by state and city politicians.

[Spurs Homer]

Yeah let him get more people killed so she can keep her integrity instead of at least having the ear of the head in charge.

she is worthless if she has no credibility

she already lost it

she can stay or go and she is saving zero lives anyway

[pgardn]

this ^ weak complicit

is WHY we are where we are!

For 3 plus ing years YOU came in here and were nothing but an apologist every time trump in your mouth

now 55000 dead americans later....

YOU want to be an apologist for the spineless pieces of surrounding this criminal incompetent murderer

this is why we are ed

does your 5 year old dictate to YOU how to run your life?

I sure hope not- i sure hope when he does something untoward or improper or makes a child dictator demand- that you patiently TEACH him that his actions will NOT be tolerated.

BIrks is a ing professional (or she used to be)

all she has to do is have integrity and tell the truth - trump or no trump
if he does something dangerous and she defends him, shields him, lies for him, whatever


she deems herself WORTHLESS!

all she had to say was “ you will have to ask thenpresident what he meant - as far as science - one should NEVER injest ANY dangerous chemical internally”

instead she went above and beyond and tried to paint the piece of infant in a nicer light

why?

because she is no longer credible.

3 years ago you repeatedly gave trump the benefit of the doubt
he in your mouth for 3 years and now 55000 are dead and you are still pussyfooting around with his stupid infant act.

Im a Trump apologist...
Sure.

You are some sort of kamikaze pilot.
I dont like that game. If you were actually responsible for playing this game you would rather see people die.
So partisan you just want revenge however it comes.
Dont give me this about people dying, you dont give a fck.

Birx is a godsend for what we have to work with.
We needed someone exactly like her at this moment.

You just want people to line people up to get them fired while people die.

I don't think she's worthless. She just went and told everybody in the country that we're going to have to do social distancing through the summer after Pence tried to say this would be over by then. But you'd prefer a Hannity clone out there selling lies so you could point your finger and scream you to the TV at the cost of American lives? smh

[pgardn]

Yeah let him get more people killed so she can keep her integrity instead of at least having the ear of the head in charge.

Its exactly why Trump went AGAINST a number of governors reopening too soon.
she has actually got him listening, albeit very poorly (not her fault) but people in here prefer Kushner or Pence?
We need her in place. Others are helping to taking care of the stupidity obvious stupidity.

[pgardn]

Hush, she having the time of her life.

Yeah.

It must be fun almost stroking out on National TV
I sure her friends and fellow scientists would just be delighted to be in that seat.

[baseline bum]

Yes sure.

Keep her integrity... she has actually got him listening, albeit very poorly (not her fault) but people in here prefer Kushner or Pence?
We need her in place. Others are doing fine taking care of the stupidity.

I genuinely think he wants the death count as high as possible to use against Trump in November. That's the only way his stance could make any logical sense and it's ing sociopathic. I mean god I would love it if chloroquine turns out to be a cure, I could give a less if Trump could do six months of victory laps on the way to a landslide victory in November if it saves hundreds of thousands of American lives and turns the pandemic into something manageable.

I do to.

I think he was one of those psuedo liberal posters who changed their screen name.
The ones who used to wish torturous death on anyone who disagreed with them.
Cant remember their old names.

She may actually like Trump and be a staunch red team member. IDGAF as she is giving us the real scenario while the rest of the politically motivated crew spew nonsense. Im sure she wants to open up as bad as anyone else and it is a tough call on how to go about it. But at least she is letting us see the difficulties behind the multiple facets of this huge problem.
