Coronavirus and racist attack

Sounds like Allah's way of telling the dipshit to shut his gob.

I've been wondering how Trump's response to the Coronavirus would play with his base, given how many of them probably think it's all a liberal hoax, viruses don't exist, vaccines cause autism, all you need is essential oils, etc.

It's probably a lie though.

If they were hurting themselves, I would only mock them because guilt and shaming is the way I was raised to do the smart thing.

But since these people are vaccinated themselves but, withholding vaccines from their own children, I may actually hate them.
When I see them do rubbish like this, it really pisses me off.

Imagine if they applied this level of "critical thinking" to the anti-vax movement?

Trump administration blocks states from using Medicaid to respond to coronavirus crisis

WASHINGTON —

Despite mounting pleas from California and other states, the Trump administration isn’t allowing states to use Medicaid more freely to respond to the coronavirus crisis by expanding medical services.

In previous emergencies, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina and the H1N1 flu outbreak, both Republican and Democratic administrations loosened Medicaid rules to empower states to meet surging needs.

But months into the current global disease outbreak, the White House and senior federal health officials haven’t taken the necessary steps to give states simple pathways to fully leverage the mammoth safety net program to prevent a wider epidemic.

That’s making it harder for states to quickly sign up poor patients for coverage so they can get necessary testing or treatment if they are exposed to coronavirus.

And it threatens to slow efforts by states to bring on new medical providers, set up emergency clinics or begin quarantining and caring for homeless Americans at high risk from the virus.

“If they wanted to do it, they could do it,” said Cindy Mann, who oversaw the Medicaid program in the Obama administration and worked with states to help respond to the H1N1 crisis in 2009.

One reason federal health officials have not acted appears to be President Trump’s reluctance to declare a national emergency. That’s a key step that would clear the way for states to get Medicaid waivers to more nimbly tackle coronavirus, but it would conflict with Trump’s repeated efforts to downplay the seriousness of the epidemic.

Another element may be ideological: The administration official who oversees Medicaid, Seema Verma, head of the government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has been a champion of efforts by conservative states to trim the number of people enrolled in Medicaid.

China donates 1000 respirator machines, 2 million masks, 20 000 medical suits and 50 000 COVID-19 test kits to Italy, thanking Italy for its help in China's initial outbreak. China will also prioritize all Italian orders for respirators in its factories

(ANSA) - Rome, March 10 - Over two million face masks and some 10,000 pulmonary ventilators are set to reach Italy from China under contracts about to be signed, after a phone call between Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and Chinese counterpart Wang Yi Tuesday.
Wang assured Di Maio that Italian orders for the ventilators would be made a priority by Chinese firms after similar requests were made by other European countries.
Wang also told Di Maio that the Chinese government had instructed its firms to export two million medical masks.
To start with, China is ready to send 100,000 high-tech masks and 20,000 protective suits, along with 50,000 swabs.

I'll believe that along with the so called life long Democrats who decided to walk away to the Republican side due to how well Trump is handling the country....

Chinese medical workers who have been fighting the #coronavirus day and night in Wuhan celebrated the closing of the last temporary hospital in Wuhan.
It's a video of the medical workers unmasking.

The reported #covid19 cases went from a surge in February of 15,000 in one day to only 15 this week.

I know we should take China's official word with suspicion but, I hope this is at least close to the truth than further away. At least the country of 1billion+ lives can contain a rapidly spreading pandemic.

The person who shared this says this is their great-aunt.








There really are some psychopaths out there. Hope things are going better in anyone else's State/country.

[McAvoy]

Funny thing. A few of my mord conservative friends is calling out everyone to donate supplies to the people who are not financially able. Those who have a budget where they can only buy certain things week to week. Living pay check to pay check.

These people want the more financially able to give up something the less financially less able cannot afford.

Sounds familiar...

McAvoy, have you heard of this scumbag? He purchased massive amounts of sanitizers to sell at price gouging prices on Amazon, allegedly $70 for wipes, and Amazon froze his account because apparently even they have a heart. Who knew? So now he's left holding his dick while looking at 18,000 bottles of sanitizer sitting there drying up.

Italy had 368 COVID-19 Deaths in 24 hours

In a disturbing development, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed the number of COVID-19 cases sweeping the world outside China (where it began in December 2019) is now a clear trend.

The total confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide stood at 169,086 with 6,512 total deaths, as of late Sunday evening, New York City time. Of the total cases, 81,020 are in China and 88,066 in the rest of the world. This means 52% of the total number of COVID-19 cases is now taking place outside China.

Twelve countries outside China currently have 1,000 or more confirmed novel coronavirus infections. These countries report a total of 76,649 cases representing 45% of the world total. They're Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Germany, France, U.S., Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway, Netherlands and Sweden.

Coronavirus USA Update: US Death Toll At 65; 3,349 Confirmed Cases

The United States will definitely see more infections from COVID-19 and more deaths even as confirmed cases on Sunday hit 3,349 in 49 states while deaths jumped to 65. Only West Virginia has no confirmed COVID-19 cases.

The warning of the coronavirus' relentless spread abetted by earlier federal government miscues on testing was made Sunday by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"We have not yet reached our peak," said Dr. Fauci, who also warned life in the U.S. will change while the country fights the pandemic.

"For a while, life is not going to be the way it used to be in the United States," explained Dr. Fauci on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning. "We have to just accept that if we want to do what's best for the American public."
