    I think he should spend as much time around as many people as he can and should personally visit all the hot spots in the USA. Of course without a mask. :bgrin:

    Coumo is heads and tails much better than trump. I think all the Govenors as well as Biden have a higher approval rating than trump on handling covid 19. I think moscow mitch is close to as low as trump. Your boy is struggling maggie

    Perfect. Just like his phone call to Ukraine asking for dirt on Joe Biden.

    Trump fucked everything up in the first place. He got us to where we are, no doubt about it. But there are in fact multiple people that have to take responsibility for this.

    This is a totalitary effort of governmental fuckups from the top down. Trump started this 3 years ago disbanding the pandemic squad. So he will always be the cheif source of blame (and theres no argument to the contrary. Whether china fudged numbers doesnt absolve the fact that Trump still KNEW the virus was coming). But some of the governers have fucked this up as well, in different ways. It does start at the top, though.

    Considering NY's downward trend, seems to me they are one of the very few states taking the correct approach on covid-19.

    The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged on Friday it had mixed together results from viral and antibody coronavirus tests on its website.

    Eleven states also confirmed mixing viral and antibody test results.

    The CDC says it's planning to separate those numbers in the coming weeks, but experts say the current method is unhelpful and potentially misleading.

    That's because antibody tests aren't used to diagnose current infections or determine whether someone is potentially contagious. Instead, they indicate whether someone has been exposed to the virus in the past.

    Combining numbers from antibody and viral tests pushes up the total number of tests conducted in the US. But antibody tests are often intended for the general public -- not just people with suspected infections -- so they can skew a key indicator of how the pandemic is progressing: the percentage of tests that come back positive.

    The CDC's method makes it appear that the US has greater capacity to test than it really does, at least when it comes to identifying current infections.

    "It's not useful information, unless you have a political agenda that you're trying to back up. That's really the only reason to do that," said CNN medical analyst Dr. Celine Gounder, a professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the New York University School of Medicine.

    "This is just one more example of why we're very concerned that science is being suppressed at the CDC and is taking a back seat to political priorities in this administration," she said.

    In black and white: Poignant NYTimes front page is filled entirely with the names of 1,000 COVID-19 victims on Memorial weekend as the nation approaches 100,000 dead milestone
    • Sunday's New York Times cover features 1,000 names of people who have died from coronavirus
    • Page shared widely Saturday evening has the headline: 'U.S. deaths near 100,000, an incalculable loss'
    • 'They were not simply names on a list. They were us,' the page reads
    • Attached to each persons' name is their age and a few descriptors about their lives
    • Names continue to be listed inside, along with an essay from Times reporter Dan Barry

    Well, none of those wars lasted less than a year, so there's that.
