Trump said, all in the exact same speech, it'll miraculously go away not a big deal, it's a big deal because Democrats are making it one to attack him, I'm so awesome and well prepared we will have a vaccine for this hoax in a few months.

He's a loving mush brained geriatric dementia patient. Nothing he says is tethered to reality.

Eh, Joe might win. People hate Trump that loving much for forcing them to think about politics all the time. The problem is that the status quo that Joe "I believe when Trump is gone my Republican friends will return to their senses" Biden represents returning to is, as said earlier, slamming into the wall at 55 MPH instead of 100.

He'd spend his four years trying mealy-mouthed centrist do nothing bullshit while McConnel wipes his rear end with everything that comes his way. I have zero doubt if RBG retired the day after Joe's inauguration we would have an 8 member SCOTUS for four years and that turtle faced fuckstick would grin for every minute of it.

Then when nothing gets done and everything gets shittier for years people will go back to tuning out politics entirely because we no longer have an incompetent jackass braying in our ears every single loving day how terrible the entire Republican party is. Whoever is out there taking notes and can be Trump 2.0 without mush brained dementia problems will tap in to the same pool of hatred that animates the entire party, then well and truly gently caress this country raw dog style.

There is definitely an argument to be made for doing loving anything it takes to get Trump out, it's just a really, really hard sell to anyone with a clue about where the big picture of the US is headed. Yelling and screaming about treating the sucking chest wound but then purposefully ignoring and endlessly criticising those that point out it's an untreated cancer patient is frustrating as hell to the people trying.

A segment of the population in the US doesn't even believe it is real and is some media hype/hoax. I just assume we're all going to get it at some point, and there's groups that are going to be reluctant to come get help due to the whole DHS using every opportunity to round up immigrants thing. I would bet money someone at DHS is talking about how to, in the event of mass quarantines, use it to round up people. I have zero faith in anything, correct.

Let me assure you that the Nazis and bigots in this country have already swung into action with the "dirty Chinese disease" rhetoric. I have friends and family that are already self quarantining as much as they can, and it's not because of the disease. This poo poo is already happening now when it's limited to scary news stories. If you have the right...I guess antennae is the best word for it...you can already feel how bad it's going to get when white people start looking for someone to punish for their anger.

Even operating on the extremely generous assumption that there is enough healthcare slack capacity in the US that any measure of flattening that curve can get people under the line and not turn this into a legendary shitshow, it will still be people going to the emergency room so they're going to get the economic equivalent of being hosed by a corncob.

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.

It's almost not even surprising anymore.

This would be about a day after CDC officials were called to an "emergency" meeting at the White House while they were testifying in congress and, welp, would you look at the time we all gotta go no more questions kthxbye.
