White House projects 100K to 240K US deaths from virus

JANFU · Mar 31, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Americans to brace for a “rough two-week period” ahead as the White House released new projections that there could be 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the U.S. from the coronavirus pandemic even if current social distancing guidelines are maintained.

Public health officials stressed that the number could be less if people change their behavior.

“We really believe we can do a lot better than that,” said Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force. That would require all Americans to take seriously their role in preventing the spread of disease, she said.

Fauci -Birx spoke most often to mitigation efforts

We have seen 2 States, LA where laws were flouted, FL where the Governor has not closed all beaches.

Fauci-Birx both praised Washington State for quick action on responding to C19- bend the curves

DeSantis- well FL is about to become another epicenter for C19.

Italy was slow, yet many do not get what needs to be done

And as usual, Trumps action plans are well wonderful

His mishandling C19 will cost many their lives

His refusal to use the Defense powers - well the Military uses those hundreds of thousands of time in the past few years

As more and more states issue stay-at-home orders, Florida is taking a different—some say dangerous—approach to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though the state’s confirmed case counts have rapidly risen in step with increased testing, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has rejected the idea of a state-wide order to keep people at home. Instead, the governor has opted to address coronavirus responses on a county-by-county basis, in hopes of sparing local economies.

On Monday, DeSantis signed an executive order urging residents in just four counties in Southeast Florida to stay in. The counties—Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe—include some of the hardest hit in the state. Together, they have reported around 60 percent of the state’s 5,704 cases as of Tuesday, March 31. Many people in the four counties had already been limiting outings.

It is and how he states ventilators are coming fast, well if they are coming that fast release more to NYC who are placing 2 or more on 1 ventilator

Can he tell the public when sufficient rapid testing will be available?

It really should not be a hard choice come November

Honestly, I am not happy with Biden right now, the damn campaign is at a standstill. I may switch my support to Bernie, even if I have virtually no impact by doing so.

Just play a chronological tape of trump quotes.

I think Trump has said these would be very good numbers. I think 15 down to zero would be even better, but this pretty close.

i find the excuse that he wasn't prepared for this pandemic because he was distracted by impeachment to be a uniquely delightful trumpist thought

Ah, but today Trump said he knew all along this was a big bad virus but just didn't want to scare us easily-frightened Americans. That's why he lied to us for all these months, see?

So just to make sure I understand this right... the death rate is estimated at 100K to 240K even with the assumption that I lock myself in my room and watch the free pornhub 30-day premium subscription for the next month (or more)? well damn.

It's truly a trying time to be a Trump supporter when trump quotes can be used to negate other Trump quotes.
