More than two-thirds of the country under a stay at home order

Maybe he will. After all he does know everything about everything and that probably includes virology, biochemistry and microbiology.

 

The COVID Tracking Project- California

 

Texas, Florida, and Georgia doing a great job of showing how "competent" their leaders are.

 

I actually didn't go that far, so don't over play your hand, lol.

 

looks like tests there are running 5 to 1 negayive in result.

 

Trump admin appears to be playing favorites. Benefits Florida, but it is still grotesque.

 

how are they playing favorites?

 

cannot read the tweet, what did it say?

 

Yes.

With a 2 week incubation period, you would have had to start seeing cases toward the end of February. So, it is possible, particularly since there is a period of flat line spread before exponential spread.

And, in retrospect, the virus was likely already here in any event, particularly if the Oxford model is right (and for other reasons I expressed upthread).

This is part of the national failure. We thought we were waiting for something that, in all likelihood, was already here.

 

statewide lockdown.

 

MA, ME, and CO didn't receive anywhere near what they requested from the Trump admin's reserve. Florida received everything it requested, then a full second delivery, and is awaiting a full third delivery.

 

wholly inadequate testing here.

 

Yea just think of how good we would be doing under Gov. Gillum

 

I basically agree with your premise, there is posturing on both sides to blame the other side, but nobody was really prepared. Trump can be blamed for boasting he has done a good job, when really nobody is without their share of blame. He knows he will be blamed by the MSM either way, so he resorts to telling everyone how great a job they are doing. Those that want to hate will do so, nothing changes that.

 

What has become clear is that both our options in 2018 sucked. Gillum was a massive let down. We should have run Gwen Graham. But you're deflecting from DeSantis's failures in this crisis. Stick to the subject.

 

Well MA, ME, and CO all voted for Clinton in 2016. FL is a swing state that Trump desperately needs to win. That is the thinking behind this.
