Guess what, folks? Trump is classifying coronavirus meetings. We are so f--ked.

White House told federal health agency to classify coronavirus deliberations 
The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials.

Coronavirus is 10x More Lethal Than The Common Flu.
A top U.S. health official said the worst is yet to come with the coronavirus outbreak that has already infected more than 1,000 people across the nation and resulted in at least 31 deaths....Fauci said COVID-19 is at least 10 times “more lethal” than the seasonal flu, even if the mortality rate drops far below the World Health Organization’s current estimate of 3.4%.

No, No, No, Norway. NO!
Due to the ongoing threat posed by the COVID-19 coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned Americans to avoid cruise ships, as the extended time in close quarters leaves passengers particularly vulnerable to contagions.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) customers who called the company over concerns about the now-global pandemic, however, were given false information about the virus in an effort to convince them that it was safe to travel on their ships, the Miami New Times reported Wednesday.


There's no doubt...the Christian right has gone to bed with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party. And there's been a melding in their goals when it comes to the separation of church & state. I've always believed in the separation of church & state. ~Jimmy Carter

Trump greets crowd in Fla. despite CDC warning
The message was simple, even if it might prove difficult to follow: “Avoid crowds,” Nancy Messonnier, MD, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters on Monday morning.

You’re not just protecting yourself by working from home, minimizing travel, and washing your hands.

You’re protecting people in your community who may have a greater risk of complications from COVID-19 than you do.

We’re all in this together. Let’s act like it. - Hillary Clinton






The Willful Neglect of Protecting The American People
On Saturday Jan. 11 — a month and a half before the first Covid-19 case not linked to travel was diagnosed in the United States — Chinese scientists posted the genome of the mysterious new virus, and within a week virologists in Berlin had produced the first diagnostic test for the disease.
Soon after, researchers in other nations rolled out their own tests, too, sometimes with different genetic targets. By the end of February, the World Health Organization had shipped tests to nearly 60 countries.
The United States was not among them.


I’m for paid sick leave for every American for every sickness.

House Democrats Granted Access To Unredacted Mueller Report
House Democrats scored a major legal victory Tuesday as a federal appeals court panel granted them permission to access grand jury secrets from Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
The 2-1 ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision in favor of the House’s ability to see the deleted passages in the public version of the Mueller report, the 448-page tome that describes the two-year investigation into potential links between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Gov. Cuomo Sends National Guard To New Rochelle
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Tuesday the state will send the National Guard to New Rochelle as part of a "containment" plan to slow the spread of coronavirus in that Westchester city, which has become the center of the state's outbreak.
The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in New York has increased to 173, Cuomo said. More than 100 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in Westchester County.


Remember when the Dow crashed and Obama said “I got this,” then H1N1 hit and ppl panicked but Obama said “didn’t I just say it got this?” then Ebola hit & O said “I told y’all motherf--kers I got this,” then stocks soared & everyone got free health care?

Anyway (sigh)Good times- Michael Harriot

Trump cheers lower gas prices amid stock market plunge, downplays coronavirus fears

Trump cheers lower gas prices amid stock market plunge, downplays coronavirus fears 
When it comes to the novel coronavirus, President Trump is ever the optimist.
As the virus spreads throughout the U.S. and across the globe, stoking fears about physical and economic health (amplified by Monday's stock market plunge), Trump has maintained a mostly rosy outlook. He continued that Monday first by highlighting tumbling gas prices — spurred by Saudi Arabia's decision to slash oil exports by 10 percent over the weekend and crude oil falling more than 20 percent — which he said were "good for the consumer."

Testing for the novel coronavirus in the Seattle area will get a huge boost in the coming weeks as a project funded by Bill Gates and his foundation begins offering home-testing kits that will allow people who fear they may be infected to swab their noses and send the samples back for analysis.
Results, which should be available in one to two days, will be shared with local health officials who will notify those who test positive.
