Since we can all agree that things like Senators and Reps getting crazy salaries, free healthcare and absurd perks of many kind due to the positions they hold is a bad measure that shows a two tiered system in the USA, maybe we should ask about how bad the government's response has been when even these people can't get tested sufficiently.....

Capitol physician says Senate lacks capacity to test all senators
The Senate returns Monday amid mounting anxiety from lawmakers that the coronavirus could spread quickly through the chamber.


"The Capitol’s attending physician said Thursday that coronavirus tests will be available for staffers and senators who are ill, but not enough to proactively test all 100 senators as the chamber comes back in session, according to two people familiar with the matter.

In a conference call with top GOP officials, Dr. Brian Monahan said there is not sufficient capacity to quickly test senators for coronavirus — a contrast with the White House, where any people meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are tested for the disease. Monahan said test results in the Senate will take two or more days, while the White House has rapid testing."

So now we know that Cuomo caused A LOT OF THE deaths in NY himself by sending everyone with the virus to nursing homes (???) as opposed to the hospital ship or elsewhere (https://www.yahoo.com/news/states-ordered-nursing-homes-covid-090009018.html), and the CDC comes out today and says "as it turns out, it's just a flu if you're older, but frankly much less than the flu if you're young".


There It Is: CDC Equates Coronavirus Hospitalizations to Seasonal Flu and Finally Admits It’s MUCH LESS Dangerous for Children

Plus it said “similar” and the flu doesn’t have these numbers in 2 months. This will also continue into the summer months.

COVID has been here since January at least. But probably December

 

[Queen B]

Experts are saying COVID is now starting to hit other states.

It only looks Plateau'd in the USA because NY is falling, but it looks like other states are rising and should be quarantined longer

and you mention them while quoting me because...?

oh, anyone who makes fun of trump must be a leftist, gotcha

 

[hillelslovak87]

Opposite the right.

American politics are cock based. Everyone knows this. Just know the right is no different. When you call a fat Manhattan reality star an alpha male, you might as well be doing so from a Hummer.........

"we can't seriously say if you're gonna have a vaccine I mean me coming out of HIV vaccine research or hepatitis C vaccine research we are still waiting for vaccine and it's decade of research and there has not been successful vaccine against any corona virus so now saying in 18 months we gonna have a vaccine it might be that we have a vaccine that can be tested but to show that it is efficacious and that it really protects from infection we cannot say that"

His take on post infection immunity was really interesting too. I guess I should plant some more veggies in the garden.

I guess nobody told Trump which states are net givers to the fed and which are net takers.

I also like the the GOP wanting to take away workplace safety liability from companies to incentivise them to open up even if it's not safe.

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) told Breitbart News this weekend that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would rather investigate President Donald Trump again than focus on the actual origins of the Chinese coronavirus and U.S. tax dollars that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology from which intelligence officials increasingly believe the virus leaked.

Appearing on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, Reschenthaler discussed his efforts to investigate tax dollars that flowed through a New York firm to the Wuhan lab. He said that Pelosi and House Democrats are not interested in holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable and, instead, want to focus their oversight efforts on politically harming President Trump again just like they tried and failed with the partisan impeachment last year and earlier this year.

“We should have an investigative body looking at these grants, but Nancy Pelosi is not going to do that,” Reschenthaler said. “So you have myself and House Republicans. I can tell you I’m going to continue to look into these grants. I’m going to continue to look into the Department of Homeland Security as well to see what grants are going from there to China. I’m also looking at defunding the World Health Organization and we can talk about that as well. But the bottom line of the Democrats’ behavior is this: They hate this president so badly that they would rather side with the Chinese Communist Party than defend Americans and defend our spending and spend wisely and just be honest. That is their hatred for President Trump and disdain for President Trump’s supporters.”

Reschenthaler wrote a letter this week to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper inquiring about a Pentagon grant to EcoHealth Alliance, Inc., a New York firm that has had a history of funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology with subgrants from American taxpayers. The Pentagon grant the congressman was inquiring about was for research into bat-borne zoonotic diseases and their potential as weapons of mass destruction or biological weapons. While it is unclear if that grant saw U.S. taxpayer money flowing from it out to the Wuhan lab, it is known that another grant that EcoHealth Alliance received did partially spend U.S. tax dollars in the Chinese lab.

That grant, from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) — in particular the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is run by the now-famous Dr. Anthony Fauci — saw U.S. tax dollars sent to EcoHealth Alliance for researching coronaviruses from bats flow out to the Chinese lab in Wuhan. Some of the money went to other labs around the world too, an NIH official confirmed to Breitbart News last week. But the NIH was so concerned about the money and this lab in Wuhan that the government notified EcoHealth Alliance that it would be investigating the matter and that any funds to the Wuhan lab must be halted while the investigation occurred.

“The NIH funded EcoHealth Alliance, which then, in turn, turned around and partially funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Reschenthaler told Breitbart News. “The DOD also gave EcoHealth Alliance $6.5 million in a grant, and like you said, that grant was to understand bat-borne zoonotic disease in context with weapons of mass destruction. So what I’m trying to find out is whether or not the DOD funding that went to EcoHealth also went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. We know that the NIH funding did, and we also know that all money is fungible, but I want to see if we can trace that money to Wuhan to see how much and to what extent the DOD and American taxpayers actually funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Your politicians are working hard on your behalf.
