George Conway: "For Trump, it's always about Trump and only Trump. If anything, it was McConnell and his fellow Senate Republicans' refusal to remove him, not the impeachment itself, that helped bring us to where we are today."

Dr. Fauci says Americans need to "brace" themselves for the weeks ahead because the numbers of cases and deaths will go up. He added: We are going to continue to see things go up. We cannot be discouraged by that because the mitigation will work.

A Trump Administration official asked the Thais for protective gear—“only to be informed by the puzzled voices on the other side of the line that a U.S. shipment of the same supplies, the second of two so far, was already on its way to Bangkok.”
“Trump aides were alarmed when they learned of the exchange, and immediately put the shipment on hold while they ordered a review of U.S. aid procedures.”— Katie Phang (@KatiePhang) April 1, 2020

Listening to Dr Birx, I’m wondering how we will not be living like this until there is a vaccine which is a year away.. Maybe testing would help, but no answer on when that will be.. We are still behind this and not in front of it which hold the country hostage to the virus.

I've said it before and I say it again: Donald Trump does not give a fuck about you, your kids, your wife or husband, brother or sister, parents, grandparents or friends. He simply does not give a fuck.

Start building - now - the facilities where COVID vaccines will be mass produced, argues @BillGates, who also, famously, predicted this pandemic. Stop playing catch-up; think ahead.

As president, I would never send an American soldier anywhere in the world without the equipment and protection they need. We should not do any less for the heroes on the front lines of the battle we’re in now.

Forget 9/11, the Iraq War, Gulf of Tonkin, Cointelpro, etc - the US Government’s knowledge of, and subsequent failure to act against, the spread of Coronavirus is a vastly unforgivable, criminal failure. They knew. They knew. THEY KNEW.

The politicians, talk show hosts, and doctors who pushed Hydroxychloroquine as a miracle cure before knowing the truth are demagogues, hucksters, and quacks. Listen to Dr. Fauci and stop embarrassing yourself until we know more. You are a danger to the public’s health.

This is horrifying. A nurse in Chicago tried to wear her own N95 mask to work while caring for COVID patients. She was told that she was not be allowed to. So she quit. We must, must protect our nurses and everyone on the front lines.

This is my much loved nephew. He's a doctor. He's working on a *respiratory* ward. The Dark circles under his eyes are new to me. This is the only mask available to him at the moment. I'm beyond shocked.
