Wapo: "White house warns coronavirus could kill some 200,000 americans"

That's some impressive numbers you all got there. Now even if Trump and his selection of morons are held accountable for this disaster, there's only senior & similarly senile democrats who will replace him. Your top judges and bureaucrats are also way, way past their prime.

As things stand I think that by the end of the 2020s we can definitely close the book on American political pre-eminence on the world stage. The 21st century is unequivocally an age of decline for the US.

china would have wiped the floor with them, anyway, even without a pandemic. the best future america had to look forward to was china re-opening car and white goods factories in the states to keep blue-collar hicks in minimum employment for the booming chinese consumer demand.

Trump Republicans are already blaming Democrats for coronavirus, so I don 't see how a severe number of deaths would get some of them to change their minds.

Over at the conservative National Review they are going to run with the narrative that the Chinese did this on purpose. Three of the top 4 stories are about China. The #1 story is referring to the democrat governor of Virginia. So you can guess where that is going.

Right now in NYC the virus is spreading through the cramped public housing projects. Mostly black and brown people are getting taken out by this.

Prediction: Once the virus reaches the small rural towns with their underfunded hospitals the people there are going to blame minorities for getting them sick instead of blaming the management of the Trump administration.

macbeth, you can see the idiotic direction the thinking goes with jay. he is an amazing weathervane for this shit. blaming the global jet-setting elites (including the shah of iran and xi jinping, apparently) one minute and blaming poor people for breeding too much the next. there's a lot of anger and confusion and, goddammit, it's going to find a target!

Thanks, I'm feeling better. My wife has it now though. Hopefully she has a mild case too.

TBF i've been stuck in bed virtually since Saturday, with classic relatively mild style flu symptoms, felt a little better today. Sense of taste has started to go too. Obviously not been tested, but I either got it, or had the most unfortunately timed case of flu ever (and I also had the flu jab before xmas).
Worst part has been sweating like Jay walking up a flight of stairs when im in bed.

For sure. Well wishes, Jay. Even though you told me I feel vindicated about people dying because washing my hands would then be normal or whatever.

Hope you guys can get access to medical care and ventilators if you need them.

e: good luck, coke. hope you test negative.

Politically,

Trump says Democrats' push for expanded voting threatens Republicans 3/30
https://news.yahoo.com/trump-says-democ … 01374.html

WASHINGTON – President Trump on Monday criticized attempts by Democrats in Congress to expand voting access for the presidential election in the fall, saying increased voter turnout would keep Republicans from getting elected.

Trump said that Democrat-proposed voting reforms to the $2.2 trillion rescue package passed last week by Congress — which were largely cut from the deal — would have led to “levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”

Democrats have pushed to mandate that states make plans to expand early voting and mail-in balloting for the fall election, in the event that the coronavirus pandemic makes in-person voting unsafe.

Trump appeared on Fox News’ morning program, “Fox & Friends,” on Monday for nearly an hour and at multiple points complained that congressional Democrats had pushed to include things he did not like in the rescue package.

Trump specifically criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who put forward a plan for $4 billion in aid to states to help them prepare for a likely scenario: a presidential election in the fall amid an ongoing pandemic.

“The Democrats come to us with Pelosi and her super-radical left group. … They want all sorts of things: ‘We want to change the voting laws, we want to change this,’” Trump said.

[…] etc., etc.

I probably won't be tested unless I become unwell enough to require hospital treatment, obviously hoping it won't come to that.
And have improved last couple of days, if this was just a bout of flu in a normal situation I'd be going the pub later in all likelihood (especially as its my fucking birthday), after being laid up for a few days.

Trump is wildly unpopular that Biden might just be able to pull it off anyway. Who would you rather have as president, a guy who is trying to get you killed by withholding medical supplies or a guy who need to be stage managed a bit?

Trump is in fact trying to get people from blue states killed by withholding federal resources.
