Put me at ease here and tell me Trump can’t fire Fauci?

 

I don't know if he can fire him directly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but he can certainly order someone else to fire him or fire the people that refuse to fire him.

India’s confirmed coronavirus cases rose to 433 on Monday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to take the almost-nationwide lockdown seriously and protect themselves.

Markets suffered a rough start to the week as stocks extended declines when trading resumed after a system-wide halt, and the rupee hit a new low following a lockdown in most parts of the country.

The pandemic has continued to spread globally, with the total number of infected cases globally reaching 349,652 and 15,303 deaths .

On the second full day of California’s unprecedented shelter-at-home order, Gov. Gavin Newsom sharply criticized young people who flocked to parks, beaches and elsewhere and ignored the 6-foot social distancing requirement.

 

“Those young people are still out there on the beaches thinking it’s time to party. It’s time to grow up, time to wake up,” Newsom said at a Saturday evening news conference. “Time to recognize that it’s not just about the old folks, it’s about your impact on their lives. Don’t be selfish.”

Go figure that Massachusetts is one of the states with a huge number of infected and its Republican governor had to be dragged kicking and screaming into issuing a shelter in place order. He's still not issuing a shelter in place order, just ordering everything but essential businesses to close until, at least April 7. However, that'll still only be enforced at the local level. Fun.

I get the impression that Trump is beginning to come apart. He’s starting to lash out more.

 

In the next week, we’ll probably see Fauci fired or disappear. He’ll order businesses and states open, which they won’t comply with. Then he’ll politicize the pandemic and say Democrats are trying to destroy the economy and his presidency.

He can't order states and people back to work

Of course it'll get bad. We're not flattening the curve that quickly and we're testing more people. If we understand this, it'll be less stressful overall, not to mention better that we're actually catching it.

 

According to the press conference by Governor Cuomo in NY, they're testing 16,000 people a day and new drug therapies launch Tuesday.

The problem isn't him ordering people back to work but making the idiots feel its the right thing to do so they head back out into the world if they aren't already and infect way more people.

 

 

 

President Donald Trump is falsely asserting how quickly automakers including GM, Ford and Tesla can manufacture ventilators to help fill an acute U.S. shortage of the medical equipment for coronavirus patients.

Ford and GM have yet to start production, and it would take them months, if not longer, to begin production, if it’s even possible.

A look at the claim:

TRUMP: “Ford, General Motors and Tesla are being given the go ahead to make ventilators and other metal products, FAST! @fema Go for it auto execs, lets see how good you are?” — tweet Sunday.

TRUMP, on addressing a shortage of ventilators: “General Motors, Ford, so many companies — I had three calls yesterday directly, without having to institute like: `You will do this’ — these companies are making them right now.” — briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: No automaker is anywhere close to making medical gear such as ventilators and remain months away — if not longer. Nor do the car companies need the president’s permission to move forward.

GM is only partnering with Ventec to help make Ventecs factories more efficient, nothing more.

Cuomo seems like the most competent leader in all this?

So to address that Trump tweet (about making a decision at 15 days):

 

I think the only reason he was swindled into allowing the situation to be taken seriously is because he was told they would only need 15 days of lockdown to get it under control. Now, if the virus isn't under control in 15 days (which it won't be), he will view it as a failure of the people involved and will want to take a new direction, probably listening to his core Fox people.
