Are You Kidding Me? Media Trying to Pin 100,000 Trump Covid Deaths on Joe Biden

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/ar...o-pin-100000-trump-covid-deaths-on-joe-biden/

 

What? Old Jumbled Joe? Wait - wasn't his campaign's NUMBER ONE PRIORITY defeating COVID?
Joe, who said there was 'no vaccine before I took office'.
(uh, Joey, you had already been administered the vaccine that Trump made happen in record time with 'Operation Warp Speed' - you forget that too?)

Joe, who spent his first few weeks signing a record number of Executive orders that fucked everyone from American minorities to Girls in Sports, but NOT about COVID?

Joe, whose administration claims there was "NO - repeat, NO distribution plan in place for vaccine distribution?
Joe, even Fucking Fauci said that was a lie.

Hey Joe - your day of reckoning is coming, but it will probably be by the hands of the Radical Leftists controlling your administration.

Don't know where, don't know when, but it's coming.

 

Nothing like misquoting someone...

Pandemic Pushes Brazilian Hospitals to Breaking Point



Brazil and the United States followed similar trajectories last year. Led by right-wing presidents with little interest in arresting the COVID-19 pandemic as it surged again and again during 2020, both countries now have the highest number of coronavirus infections of any nation.

But while the United States has a new president and has managed to engineer a rapid drop in cases, Brazil has seen no such decline.

Coronavirus deaths are now at an all-time high in Brazil, averaging 1,208 per day over the past week. New cases have also peaked, averaging roughly 54,000 per day over the last seven days.

The increases are pushing medical resources to the limit. Intensive care units in 17 of Brazil’s 26 states are close to capacity, while six more are completely full, O Globo reports. Vaccine distribution, long-touted as the country’s strength, has been slow—only 3.2 percent of the country has been given a vaccine dose, according to Bloomberg. Brazil isn’t even reporting national vaccine data, leaving it up to states to produce the information.

Brazil’s variant. Brazil’s mismanagement of the pandemic has pressing international implications. A new coronavirus variant, first identified in the country, has spread rapidly. According to research due to be published today by a team from Oxford University, Imperial College London, and the University of São Paulo, the variant, known as P.1, is between 1.4 and 2.2 times more transmissible than other variants currently circulating. Worse still, the researchers found that P.1 was more likely to re-infect those that had already contracted the virus, potentially imperiling vaccine efficacy.

A rough 2021 start. The news comes as Bolsonaro’s approval rating, relatively high over the course of the pandemic, has taken a hit. Polls turned sour in February, with the most recent giving him a 32 percent approval rating, down from a pandemic-era high in December of 37 percent. The prospects for a turnaround will depend on whether Brazil’s Congress can decide on how to restart a popular emergency cash payment program for the country’s poor that expired in December.

Is it the end of Bolsonaro? Even as Brazil buckles under the strain of the pandemic, Bolsonaro has structural supports that should keep him safe. On Feb. 1, Brazil’s Congress selected two of his allies to lead the upper and lower chambers, giving the president a buffer against any impeachment attempts.

As Ana Ionova noted in Foreign Policy last month, Bolsonaro can rely on about a quarter of Brazil’s population, the “conservative, wealthier, religious Brazilians preoccupied with issues like crime, the economy, corruption, and family values” to remain by his side no matter what. “For many of them, the president is doing his best to keep Brazil open and the economy afloat,” Ionova wrote.

Trump's COVID 19 lies continue to cost all of us and make it harder to actually stop the spread so we can actually return to some kind of normal. And one thing the conservative/Republicans never want to talk about is the cost of COVID 19. About 21% of people who test positive for COVID 19 have to be hospitalized at an average cost between $34,662 and $45,683. And thanks to Trump's lie and incompetence the US has more than 29 million cases. And that impact is totally unnecessary because its the result of Trump lying and refusing to follow the science.

And again totally unnecessary. Trump and Melania got vaccinated but they did it in secret because that is counter to the lying narrative Trump promoted for the past year. So there is no one else to blame for that but Trump.

 

Wait.
Is this some sort of admission on the part of despicables that Trump did win the November election??

Fine for thee but not for me.

 

First Trump deliberately lies about COVIE 19 and spreads it virus from coast to coast. Then he squanders the lock down by demanding states open up spreading the virus again. Then he sits on his hands as cases skyrocket and hospitals don't have enough PPE and ventilators. All the while ignoring the science and continuing to lie while he turns the response over to his son in law and his rich friends who prove totally incompetent. Trump refuses to do the one thing that would help which is wearing masks. But does push fake cures from hydroxychloroquine to injecting bleach. And Trump goes all over the country creating super spreader events and makes the White House itself a super spreader. But after more than 542,191 most of which could have been avoided Trump wants credit for the vaccine because he threw $12 billion at drug makers even though the first vaccine developed didn't receive any of that money. And even after the vaccines did arrive Trump turned Operation Warp Speed into Operation Cluster Fuck Snail's Pace.

But as always with Trump and conservative/Republicans they want none of the blame but all the credit.

We can also blame Trump for continuing to kill his own followers by not telling them to get vaccinated like he did in secret. And so Trump's conservative/Republican followers are refusing to get vaccinated.

Read The Transcript
As prepared for delivery by the White House, March 11, 2020

My fellow Americans: Tonight, I want to speak with you about our nation’s unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak that started in China and is now spreading throughout the world.

Today, the World Health Organization officially announced that this is a global pandemic.

We have been in frequent contact with our allies, and we are marshaling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people.

This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history. I am confident that by counting and continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens, and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus.

From the beginning of time, nations and people have faced unforeseen challenges, including large-scale and very dangerous health threats. This is the way it always was and always will be. It only matters how you respond, and we are responding with great speed and professionalism.

Our team is the best anywhere in the world. At the very start of the outbreak, we instituted sweeping travel restrictions on China and put in place the first federally mandated quarantine in over 50 years. We declared a public health emergency and issued the highest level of travel warning on other countries as the virus spread its horrible infection.

And taking early intense action, we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in Europe.

The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from China and other hotspots. As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe.

After consulting with our top government health professionals, I have decided to take several strong but necessary actions to protect the health and well-being of all Americans.

To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground.

There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings, and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom.

At the same time, we are monitoring the situation in China and in South Korea. And, as their situation improves, we will reevaluate the restrictions and warnings that are currently in place for a possible early opening.

Earlier this week, I met with the leaders of health insurance industry who have agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments, extend insurance coverage to these treatments, and to prevent surprise medical billing.

We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus.

Additionally, last week, I signed into law an $8.3 billion funding bill to help CDC and other government agencies fight the virus and support vaccines, treatments, and distribution of medical supplies. Testing and testing capabilities are expanding rapidly, day by day. We are moving very quickly.

The vast majority of Americans: The risk is very, very low. Young and healthy people can expect to recover fully and quickly if they should get the virus. The highest risk is for elderly population with underlying health conditions. The elderly population must be very, very careful.

In particular, we are strongly advising that nursing homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits. In general, older Americans should also avoid nonessential travel in crowded areas.

My administration is coordinating directly with communities with the largest outbreaks, and we have issued guidance on school closures, social distancing, and reducing large gatherings.

Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow.

Every community faces different risks and it is critical for you to follow the guidelines of your local officials who are working closely with our federal health experts — and they are the best.

For all Americans, it is essential that everyone take extra precautions and practice good hygiene. Each of us has a role to play in defeating this virus. Wash your hands, clean often-used surfaces, cover your face and mouth if you sneeze or cough, and most of all, if you are sick or not feeling well, stay home.

To ensure that working Americans impacted by the virus can stay home without fear of financial hardship, I will soon be taking emergency action, which is unprecedented, to provide financial relief. This will be targeted for workers who are ill, quarantined, or caring for others due to coronavirus.

I will be asking Congress to take legislative action to extend this relief.

Because of the economic policies that we have put into place over the last three years, we have the greatest economy anywhere in the world, by far.

Our banks and financial institutions are fully capitalized and incredibly strong. Our unemployment is at a historic low. This vast economic prosperity gives us flexibility, reserves, and resources to handle any threat that comes our way.

This is not a financial crisis, this is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world.

However, to provide extra support for American workers, families, and businesses, tonight I am announcing the following additional actions: I am instructing the Small Business Administration to exercise available authority to provide capital and liquidity to firms affected by the coronavirus.

Effective immediately, the SBA will begin providing economic loans in affected states and territories. These low-interest loans will help small businesses overcome temporary economic disruptions caused by the virus. To this end, I am asking Congress to increase funding for this program by an additional $50 billion.

Using emergency authority, I will be instructing the Treasury Department to defer tax payments, without interest or penalties, for certain individuals and businesses negatively impacted. This action will provide more than $200 billion of additional liquidity to the economy.

Finally, I am calling on Congress to provide Americans with immediate payroll tax relief. Hopefully they will consider this very strongly.

We are at a critical time in the fight against the virus. We made a life-saving move with early action on China. Now we must take the same action with Europe. We will not delay. I will never hesitate to take any necessary steps to protect the lives, health, and safety of the American people. I will always put the wellbeing of America first.

If we are vigilant — and we can reduce the chance of infection, which we will — we will significantly impede the transmission of the virus. The virus will not have a chance against us.

No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States. We have the best economy, the most advanced healthcare, and the most talented doctors, scientists, and researchers anywhere in the world.

We are all in this together. We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unify together as one nation and one family.

As history has proven time and time again, Americans always rise to the challenge and overcome adversity.

Our future remains brighter than anyone can imagine. Acting with compassion and love, we will heal the sick, care for those in need, help our fellow citizens, and emerge from this challenge stronger and more unified than ever before.

God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you.

 

Huh.
Everything President Trump said in March, 2020 turned out to be pretty accurate. Good job, President Trump!
