Job You Are Doing

Working With Schumer Isn’t Easy
He’s A Dimwit Which You Know All Well

--Then you read the article below.

WHAT A SHIT SHOW!!!!

Dipti S. Barot is a primary care doctor in the San Francisco Bay area. She is also a freelance writer.

I am a doctor and I am immunocompromised. I am safe at home screening patients over the phone for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, while my colleagues are marching into war with plastic water guns and papier-mâché bombs, lambs to the COVID-19 slaughter.

They are entreating people to stay at home, begging for personal protective equipment via Twitter hashtags (#GetMePPE), fashioning masks out of surgical sheets, rigging ventilators to increase their capacity as the number of confirmed cases keeps increasing. Some are living in the garage or in a separate room in their home, for fear of infecting their loved ones.

All of this happening while New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio worked out at the Y, Florida beaches stayed open for the congregating spring breakers, and superintendents delayed canceling classes.

And asymptomatic elite NBA players and the Kardashian matriarch can get tested along with Mar-a-Lago moonlighters, while my colleagues at the county hospital are told that due to the scarcity of COVID-19 tests, if they do become exposed to a patient, they should call their own doctors to get tested; the hospital will not use its supply on them.

“Unconscionable” is a feather-light word to use for the response to this pandemic by those in charge. After weeks of inaction, of downplaying the pandemic, of calling it a hoax, President Donald Trump had no choice but to shift tone once this crisis was undeniable. He then stood shoulder to shoulder at press conferences, shaking hands while declaring a national emergency that his own experts said only social distancing would quell. He has failed our nation.

When you are a governor bragging about the packed restaurant that your family is dining in during this pandemic that requires you to stay home, you are essentially stealing N95 masks from the nurses in your state. When you are a U.S. representative appearing on a morning show encouraging people to go to pubs while the head of the nation’s infectious disease response is stating clearly that people need to shelter in place, you have effectively robbed the ICU staff in your district of countless needed ventilators.

We health care workers are, and have been, on our own. We are making decisions hospital by hospital because there is no centralized response or clear guidelines. Surgeons had to make their own decisions about canceling elective surgeries while the surgeon general, an anesthesiologist, lectured journalists on what type of stories they should be writing. With every crucial delay, with every blunder and misstep, the toll is going to be measured in lives lost.

Health care workers have had some of the worst outcomes when confronted with this virus, dying at higher rates than expected for their ages. And yet doctors, nurses and other medical staff will be the ones treating Elon Musk’s workers, who were expected to report to the Tesla factory in California — even though the county they were in had ordered citizens to shelter in place. Who is there to protect those frontline workers from the failure of this government?

Each day we get more reports of health care workers infected, hospitalized, and dying all over the world. This week we lost the brilliant Dr. Steven Schwartz to COVID-19 in Seattle. Others will follow. They will continue to die because of the inaction of their leaders. Their lives will end because factories were not taken over by their governments to manufacture test kits and personal protective equipment in time. They will die because they are putting their limp, used masks in little brown paper bags after their -hour shift, be used again tomorrow; they are wiping down their lone allotted face shields with disinfectant, or wrapping them in saran wrap, and cutting plastic Coke bottles to make new ones. They will inadvertently infect their patients because they are reusing disposable gowns, and MacGyver-ing equipment to make do with what they have to serve as many they can. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing guidance about how to use bandanas and scarves to deal with the dearth.

Our heroes out the in field will not be derelict in their duties — even if they have been forced to compromise their safety by those who continue to sit in their insular cocoons and suffer no consequences. It is criminal what is being done. And beyond criminal what is not being done.

GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR F-ING ARSEHOLES!

If true, the USA and other countries would do well to follow Russia's lead in tasking military personnel, students and prisoners with the production of PPE (personal protection equipment) 'defined as face masks, bathrobes and medicines' to ensure adequate supply. 'The Ministry of Justice and the Federal Penitentiary Service also ordered the involvement of prisoners in the manufacture of medical masks. They must produce protective equipment daily, as indicated in the order.'

I know you have none but I would have expected you to have had some fellow feeling with your countrymen/women. Perhaps I was wrong to expect you to be concerned.

Literally speaking, while I have not researched the direct number of America's GI's that lost their lives during the European Theatre, I think Trumps lack of mandatory actions concerning the lives of some 331 million of us current citizens might just surpass the stats that Hitler was held responsible for.

If just 10% of all of us current2020 Americans perish to the Corona 19, Donalds "It will just fly away like the Breeze!" or I'm sending two hospital ships currently in full dry dock repair and crewless next month" just don't cut it for me.

This clueless egotistical Bozo is not fit to even sit on a banana parade float full of happy stuffed monkeys down Broadway.

I would like to add a comment to an old universal saying and put my spin on it.

"YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME.!. "

"YOU DON'T EVER NEED TO FOOL TOTAL FOOLS!". WHY I BET ALL BUT A FEW OF THE 50 MILLLION THAT VOTED FOR HIM LAST ELECTION WOULD ALL OVER AGAIN DO THE VERY SAME THING.

Just try to imagine two years from now,f 20% of all houses across America with deceased owners being sold by Life Insurance Companies for 45% off?

It such a shame that ONLY TIME WILL INDEED TELL SUCH A SHAMEFUL STORY!

There is plenty of blame to go around from China to Trump and his administration. The delay in response, an incorrect response or no response from the administration will cause countless more illness and deaths to the American people. This virus does not discriminate and will claim the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the famous and the homeless and everyone in between. All life is precious and our administration needs to prioritize our health above all else by providing the means to test, diagnose and treat those affected.

We also need to do our part by practicing social distancing and sheltering in place until we have a handle on this pandemic. If we choose to ignore the very instruction that will prevent the spread of the virus and thus save us from suffering and dying, then we deserve what we get. I have my own house on lockdown to protect my "at risk" mom who is going through chemotherapy for cancer. I'm sure many of us have at least one person in our family that is in the high risk group that needs to be protected at all costs!

I would also like to personally thank all the medical professionals out there working around the clock who selflessly put their very lives on the line to treat those with COVID-19 (not to mention the other host of illnesses and injuries out there)! We need to do everything we can to get them the protective gear, testing kits and quick results needed to do their job. (Vaccines and cures are a long way off!) We cannot afford to lose ANY of these highly skilled professionals to this virus!

Pushing the 'party line' cannot rewrite history.

China did not pass information to the rest of the world as soon as they should -- NO ONE IS DENYING THAT.
China did not lie to the American people for almost 7 f*cking weeks; the mango moron did

Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — Trump in a CNBC interview.

Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.

Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the White House. (See our item “Will the New Coronavirus ‘Go Away’ in April?“)

Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.” — Trump in speaking to National Border Patrol Council members.

Feb. 23: “We have it very much under control in this country.” — Trump in speaking to reporters.

Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” — Trump in a tweet.

Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump at a White House briefing.

Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.

Feb. 26: “I think every aspect of our society should be prepared. I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.” — Trump at a press conference, when asked if “U.S. schools should be preparing for a coronavirus spreading.”

Feb. 27: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” — Trump at a White House meeting with African American leaders.

Feb. 29: “And I’ve gotten to know these professionals. They’re incredible. And everything is under control. I mean, they’re very, very cool. They’ve done it, and they’ve done it well. Everything is really under control.” — Trump in a speech at the CPAC conference outside Washington, D.C.

March 4: “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]. … We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” — Trump at a White House meeting with airline CEOs.

March 4: “Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.” — Trump in an interview on Fox News, referring to the percentage of diagnosed COVID-19 patients worldwide who had died, as reported by the World Health Organization. (See our item “Trump and the Coronavirus Death Rate.”)

March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” — Trump, when asked by reporters if he was concerned about the arrival of the coronavirus in the Washington, D.C., area.

March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.

March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.

A day later, on March 11, the WHO declared the global outbreak a pandemic.

This catalogue of misinformation and disinformation has cost lives and will cost many more. Blame China for the initial smothering of information but that does not excuse the one who, when all the information from China was available, continued to LIE to the US population KNOWING that his lies would cost their lives.

CHINA DID NOT SWEAR AN OATH TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF THE US; THE LYING SCUMBAG SQUATTING IN THE WHITE HOUSE DID!!!!!

Once again you obfuscate and completely miss the point.

NO ONE IS ARGUING THAT THE CHINESE ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THE INITIAL COVER UP - IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU?

No amount of trying to pivot away will excuse the inept, duplicitous response of the US administration.
The POTUS DELIBERATELY LIED TO THE PEOPLE. The details are listed in the reply above. Those lies will result in Americans dying needlessly. There is no one else to blame for lying , misinforming and endangering the population of the US.
If you wish to reply then either refute this point and do not pivot back to blaming the Chinese government or I will delete your smoke screen response.
