    Trump told Hannity he could restore order in any city by sending 50,000 or 75,000 troops. It worked so well in Vietnam and Iraq, right?

    Maybe if 50,000 public health officers had been sent around the country in March and April we wouldn't be in this situation.

    Don't hold your breath for a coronavirus vaccine. Here are the 7 biggest challenges we still need to overcome.


    • Drugmakers, scientists, and governments are racing to develop a coronavirus vaccine at unprecedented speeds.
    • It seems possible, or even likely, that a vaccine could be available by early 2021.
    • But there are countless obstacles to creating a successful vaccine and ensuring people take it, including public skepticism about a vaccine's safety and the fair and equitable distribution of shots.

    It’s too late. We’ve already released the Kraken.

    so, the lunatic right-wing TV network, Sinclair, planned on airing a "documentary' of Covid that was an off-the-wall-around-the-bend fucking insane conspiracy theory laden ignorant-fest:

    * "Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the local news behemoth that runs nearly 200 stations across the country, said it has decided to “delay” a segment highlighting a baseless and inflammatory conspiracy theory about the origin of the coronavirus on its channels.


    “We will spend the coming days bringing together other viewpoints and provide additional context,” the company said in a Saturday afternoon statement.


    Eric Bolling, a former Fox News host who now hosts a program for Sinclair called “America This Week,” spent several minutes on his latest show interviewing Judy Mikovits, a discredited scientist who is a central character in the conspiracy film “Plandemic,” Media Matters was first to report.

    Plandemic” is a 26-minute concoction that argues America’s top doctors ― particularly Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force and the nation’s leading expert on infectious disease ― cannot be trusted to provide information on the crisis. The film was banned from Facebook and YouTube when it started gaining traction earlier this year for providing false information on COVID-19.


    Key elements of the conspiracy theory were slated to be shown across Sinclair’s vast network of stations, which cover roughly 40% of the American market. Bolling also spoke to Mikovits’ attorney, Larry Klayman, about the duo’s plans to sue Fauci in the segment.


    Mikovits told Bolling that she believes Fauci “manufactured the coronaviruses in monkey cell lines” and shipped them to Wuhan, China, where the illness was first detected.

    Sinclair emphasized in its statement that it did not ever intend to show audiences “Plandemic” in its entirety.

    “This documentary has been widely discredited and we as a company do not support the baseless claims that were rebutted during the original segment,” the company said.


    The company defended the segment by saying it supports “free speech and a marketplace of ideas and viewpoints” and pointed to a Fox News medical expert, Dr. Nicole Saphier, who came on after Mikovits to partially denounce her views. While Saphier defended Fauci, she also made the misleading suggestion that the coronavirus might have been made in a lab

    Mikovits is a known figure in the anti-vaccine movement whose body of work includes a study on chronic fatigue syndrome that was roundly criticized in the scientific community and abruptly retracted in 2011. She has since attempted to position herself as a victim whose work has been continually suppressed by “Big Pharma.” *

    Sinclair has decided to postpone the airing of this poison because of the push-back they were enduring

    **********************************************************

    this is an example of trumpism in full bloom. Anybody who voted for trump in 2016 or votes for him in 2020 endorses these kinds of lies and this kind of propaganda and bullshit

    12 people infected with the coronavirus were falsely told they'd tested negative — and at least one was hospitalized

    • A dozen people tested for the coronavirus in Delaware were incorrectly told they tested negative by the state department of health — and at least one man is now hospitalized.
    • Delaware's Health and Social Services department said the 12 individuals were initially told over the phone that their test results came back negative due to "an internal DPH system error."
    • Kevin Evans, a Delaware resident who was told he was negative on July 21, was hospitalized two days later.

    Of course. What do you expect when a President bad mouths our leading expert to a lot of feeble minded people and extremely prejudiced people.
