In a way it's creepy too. Deborah looks like she's secretly signaling that she wants me to get her safely to the Ronald McDonald house for battered and abused women. Pence looks like he's been shut off for reprogramming and a battery recharging. Then Trumps starts playing the air accordion while he is reading from a children's book. Fauci seems the most normal, and that's weird in itself.

Fauci ummm no comment Birx she has changed a lot since the start of these. She looks a lot older, worn out, and seems to have learned a lot about dealing with the media. Pence is the diplomat in the crowd. Trump really depends on the day and the news he needs to impart. 1

Their suggested videos were based off my viewing habits, and that mix of Leftist propaganda commercials were followed by suggestions with gun/pro2A videos 1
B-Man Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Once you flatten the curve, the Left will just move the goalposts by Stacy Lennox When the IMHE models were introduced, there was a pretty high peak in the number of COVID-19 infections. Related to this high peak, there were a significant number of hospitalizations and deaths in a very short time period. The fear was we would run out of hospital beds and critical care resources such as ventilators. The Coronavirus Task Force extended their original guidelines to slow the spread from 15 days to 30. The goal was to flatten the curve on the IMHE model. What does “flatten the curve” mean? It meant we as a nation were buying time to ramp up medical resources so that every patient could receive needed care and to try and identify effective therapeutics. Largely, these goals have been met. Every patient who has required an ICU bed or a ventilator has been provided one. We have been able to shift these resources between regions with outbreaks. The federal government continues to build additional capacity in the event it is needed. There are also dozens of clinical trials going on for therapeutic drugs. Clinicians have offered anecdotal information based on patient experience and we continue to refine how those with severe disease are cared for. Our testing system has been significantly upgraded. Supply chain management has been upgraded through public/private partnerships and new systems to identify and deliver resources on a just in time basis. Anyone expecting COVID to disappear from our lives is under a serious delusion. As we open up, people are going to continue to test positive. Some will get severely ill. A small number will unfortunately die. What we can be assured of is that every patient will be properly cared for. We can also have great hope that treatment will continue to improve lowering the number of severe cases and fatalities. {snip} However, no one is calculating the real public health cost of continuing to stay locked down. What are the cost in lives of missed mammograms, colon cancer screenings and blood A1C labs? How many new cancers have we missed and heart stents haven’t been placed? What are the life threatening effects for those awaiting joint surgeries who have lain immobile for 45 days? COVID-19 is not the only illness that people become very ill or die from. It is not even the most common. There will absolutely be deaths that can be attributed to delay or denial of treatment during this time period. Hardly anyone is talking about them. Meanwhile in Georgia, healthcare workers are being furloughed and ancillary services like physical therapy have closed their doors. Given our total COVID-19 experience to date, it makes no sense to continue these policies regarding so called “elective” healthcare. Additionally, we know who are most vulnerable to COVID-19 and how to protect them and the public. No one in Georgia or is suggesting we throw open nursing homes to visitors. Or that those with pre-existing conditions change what they are currently doing. However, for large swaths of the population the risk is relatively low. This becomes even more evident as data on asymptomatic cases continues to accumulate. So long term we will have to make accommodations for children with asthma and continue to help and support the elderly with heart disease. This doesn’t mean an entire generation of children needs to miss another school year. It doesn’t mean the local hair salon can’t service half the clients they normally do with proper precautions. That the local movie theater can’t improve cleaning between shows and sell a third of their tickets. Or that family groups can’t eat in a well cleaned half empty restaurant. Experts have a narrow focus by definition. It is time to let Americans look at the big picture and make their own decisions based on all available information. They asked us to help flatten the curve. We did exceeding all expectations. It would seem we can be trusted not to screw it up now.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Trump: Update on major cities. Talking about the CDC guy, said he was misquoted. The CDC guy meant flu + corona coming together at the same time. Redfield: Clarifying his comments that there was a possibility of next fall or winter being more complicated due to two viruses (flu + COVID-19). It will be more complicated. We have the capacity to stay in the containment mode. We will not need to resort to what we did this spring. Using containment mode, continued guidelines, and social distancing strategies. Key to comments and wanting to stress them. He wants people to get the flu vaccine to minimize the co problem. Edited April 22, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal

People who say TDS say it simply to troll the people who have found it impossible to like him. He could have been another Ronald Reagan(who I liked at the time, but not so much in retrospect). All he had to do was follow Reagan's lead, but his ego was too big for that. Trump is like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s housekeeper. Butt ugly, but he can “do things”. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Trump: IF the corona comes back (basically what they have been saying for weeks). If, may, could. Press: Asking about the two together, and was that what WaPo was told? Redfield: Yes. That is what I was trying to say. More difficult because we have to distinguish between the two. Sounds like he's saying because there is a flu vaccine, get it. They are going back and forth about the WaPo headline not being what he said. The press read the comment, and the headline isn't what he said. 1
daz28 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Wouldn't it be smart if we all got our flu shots asap? I mean it's one less case they might not have to diagnose.
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Birx: summer for testing if covid potentially came back. Follow the guidelines. Redfield was saying please get a flu shot. We would be able to stay in containment phase. Dr. Birx is saying it may come back, it may not. They do not know for sure. What the CDC is putting in place today what we will need in the fall IF it comes back. 1

Good choice. -) 1
daz28 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I really hope we never need hundreds of thousands of ventilators. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Press: the US will be more prepared, how can you say it will not come back. Trump: If it comes back, it will not be like before. We have better containment, and watching hot spots. If it does come back, it will not be what we went through. Trump, Redfield, Birx seem to be emphasizing get the flu shot. Press: Why are we still getting ventilators? Trump: We may need them for something else (listing stuff). Something could happen. Now monologuing about ventilator production. The US will be sending ventilators to a lot of countries. From Italy to Pakistan, etc. 1
