At what point do we stop accepting people with power/influence using polls and tweets as activism against someone who is taking active measures that are getting people killed right now?

If you tell me about people who are doing something right now, when the gently caress is it going to start working?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They said she cooked her own cancers for people who crossed her, rococo custom variations that took years to kill you. They said a lot of things about Chrome, none of them at all reassuring.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-04/italy-daily-virus-fatalities-fall-to-681-lowest-since-march-26

quote:

Italy saw 681 new coronavirus fatalities on Saturday, including a police officer in Premier Giuseppe Conte’s security team, while authorities warned a return to normality in the country remains distant.

The daily toll was the lowest since March 26 and fell from 766 Friday, according to civil protection data. There were 4,805 new confirmed cases, an increase from 4585 a day earlier.

It's hosed up how 681 deaths in one day is a good sign because it's less than 766 the day before

Okay so let me see if I'm following this

Mass ordered a shipment of PPE, which was then confiscated by an undisclosed federal agency when it reached customs

So then they hatched a deal with Robert Kraft to use a Patriots plane to fly to China and pick up another shipment of PPE and bring it directly back without customs getting their hands on this one, effectively smuggling it into the country

Meanwhile the Trumps are saying "no it's OURS, NO SHARING"

Except they're letting companies sell PPE from the federal stockpile direct to hospitals, etc

And they're being allowed to use FEMA assets to do the logistics work for free

Did I miss a step

Yeah the follow-on step where they distribute the PPE only to their political support because the other side is viewed as "the enemy of the people" who need to suffer and die.

You're wrong about this bit, but otherwise, yep.

The federal stockpile is operating as normal and it's direct federal-to-state transfers, no companies involved, but it's basically out. The trouble is that the feds (Donnie) can't figure out if they want to nationalize all of the replenishment requirements, or half-rear end it. So, states are bidding against states bidding against the feds, high bid wins until the poo poo gets delivered.

Donnie's trying to avoid the responsibility for the shortages, but his people are still Doing Things and buying/sending poo poo to the high-population states (or, red states!), so the low-priority states are literally working AROUND the feds to get their poo poo in secret.

It's kinda hosed!

His approval ratings are basically back to where they were, the culty 40%. drat near every state/local leader gained +20% or so as a rally around the flag effect, Donnie gained about 10%, and it's mostly gone now.
