What are your thoughts on how government is handling COVID-19

The accusation of cronyism is vague because how does that tie to his accusations? No doubt there are competing lines of thought at NIH and BARDA on how to handle this virus, and all of them are likely experts. He is no more special or expert because he spoke to the press. This line of thinking that everyone working in the government who runs to the press is altruistic or the best expert because they speak out against Trump is puzzling to me. Is it confirmation bias?

Edit - I don't see WHISTLEBLOWER anywhere in that article so that is extreme hyperbole.

He is special because he was fired from his position for reasons that the people responsible for his reassignment are choosing to remain silent about.

I am not OK with lawyers having to figure out if experts in their field were "wrongly" reassigned. In my opinion, we should ENCOURAGE experts that have a different expert opinion to challenge the non-experts when necessary. I don't want the country I love to be run like a dictatorship where an expert is reassigned while its president that has no expertise, and therefore no business offering medical advice, gets on the news every night advocating for unproven and possibly dangerous remedies.

I don't know why you're hung-up on whether or not Dr. Bright has the right to consider himself a whistleblower. The designation doesn't make much difference these days; Trump attacks whistleblowers.

So the state governor bears no responsibility at all?

You did not answer the question! The governors are doing the best they can. Again, when a disaster hits the states, the federal government's job is to step in and help. We pay federal taxes for such help.
 
Wow, Israel is doing a great job regarding testing

The video is in French, but that testing cabin they show is awesome.

Yes, it all went to waste, and then some! At the federal level, the budget deficit is freakin' scary high and continues to grow. Remember those cute times way back when, when you were always worried and upset about things like the deficit? That was before you started worrying about things like condoms. It's a good thing you have new things to worry about so that you don't have to obsess about things like budget deficits and the national debt, which is currently...oh, you don't even want to know! If you're too old for sex you're too old for that kind of bad news!

Well then, all the tax money went to waste and now there's nothing to do but wait to get sick and die.

Great pick for Trump. When he said "only the best people" he meant it. This guy is the kind of arsehole Trump and his supporters love.

Yep. Trump supporters don’t mind actual racists. They’re only outraged if anyone suggests they are racists.

You make no sense. You choose to be argumentative rather than discussing facts. It is as if we are talking to a 5 year old.

I still do!.nod.gif If the country don't go back to work soon we'll all die from an economic crisis not from Covid 19. Either I'll break into my neighbor's house looking for foods or they'll break into my house looking for foods, so either I shoot him first or he'll shoot me first.

Are you serious? I feel like you could sell some diamonds if you needed food, rather than shoot your neighbor, but I digress... :lol:

You DO???!!!! We haven't heard a word from you about the deficit or national debt, since...when was it...November 8 2016!! All of a sudden you ARE worried about them because of the economic crisis? Oh DF, you are older than you think, possibly even senile. (Can you still taste and smell? Because if not, you should probs take some hydroxichlormacallit ASAP!) Because the deficit and ballooning national debt were a YUUUUUGE problem even before a Chinese person ate a rabid bat! Like, even if no Chinese people ever ate any rabid bats, we would still have this budget deficit and national debt problem in the U.S. I know, crazy, right???!!!! It's enough to make you think a condom shortage is no big deal, I tell you.

Oh, and no one's coming for your food, don't worry. It's your toilet paper they want. Stock up on ammo and guard that TP with your life!

I have been an activist supporting your approach in Melbourne Australia and been widely reported - google daily mail, 3AW and National 9 news.
You are wrong - your next wave in USA will create such a strong case for China to say democracy fails.
 
Did anyone watch Trump’s daily briefing today?

Trump actually alluded to injecting disinfectant as a cure for Coronavirus. This President is insane.

@Dancing Fire, How is your daughter that is a nurse doing?

Yes and many other crazy cures. The Drs just stood there and he said they were looking into it.

I was waiting for Dr. Birx to come to the microphone and say do NOT listen to him. Do NOT try this. It’s hard to believe that a US President would act so irresponsible.

This is yet another example for why I ask PSers If they actually listen to Trump’s press briefings.

She got a forgivable loan. Her employees hate her for it.

One small business owner got a Paycheck Protection Program loan. Her employees are furious.

Unemployment benefits too good, it's causing abnormalities for employers now. In what kind of world do business owners have to compete with unemployment for employees? In a world where big government has made mistakes.

Imagine that. I believe a couple of us said a few weeks back this would be a problem when Congress wouldn't approve the amendment to the act to limit the amount to 100% of salary.
 
Hehe they reopened some beaches in Sydney, people started loitering so they closed them again. This all happened within a day.

Never have I felt so much comfort in the government and police supervising us like we're toddlers.
