This could become a full-time occupation (obsession? compulsion?). Just recording bits of news that deal directly with the political side of the pandemic. You would think that with all that's going on, public health concerns would be foremost, but you'd be wrong.
This publication created a timeline of Trump's responses to the growing COVID-19 situation.
New York City will soon be the epicenter of the global pandemic. It's healthcare system will soon be in complete overload, according to CNN.
Trump is already calling for a resumption of "life as normal" possibly by Easter. Never mind that hes being contradicted by all the experts. He must have some inside information that he's not sharing. This article from Bloomberg takes a sensible look at what would have to happen before life could return to normal. I bet I';m not the only person who can't see that happening by Easter.
The Globe and Mail had a recent article about Trump's decision that would pit the economy against human lives.
In Arizona, one person is dead and another was hospitalized, after taking chloroquine (one of the ingredients in aquarium cleaner). Why? Because Trump said it was "...basically pretty much a cure". It has been approved to treat malaria and a form of arthritis, but definitely not for COVID19 and certainly not in the chemical formulation it's used as in aquarium cleaner. This is how Natural Selection works folks.
Yes, apparently he did. One article here explains why this created such a problem. When asked about this, Trump responded that it was "a nasty question". Memo to anyone wanting information from this president - no nasty questions.
And there is more. Lots more. In my next post, though, I'd like to examine some of the free stuff that's suddenly available to all of us on lockdown.
Isolation Manor .. Out.
