The issues are too serious for such parochial outbursts and the usual nutty conspiracy theories.

Yesterday, at the beginning of the white house coronavirus tasks force briefing, he opted to show campaign like clips. Guy is crazy and bila feelings.

People wonder what "being" presidential is and the worth of such a demeanor... it's for such a time as now!
This is a person who had figured out how to coax, cajole, persuade, threaten people into action.
His life has always been a series of bluffs, exercises in name-calling and grandstanding. He has skillfully pitted one side against the other for his own benefit. He used threats and statements in exaggerations with liberty and it somehow worked... because this stuff that works around humans. it worked with nations.
But the problem is the world we live in is not all intelligent enough to buy what he is selling. the Virus we are facing is a floating strand of RNA enveloped in a protein sheath looking for the next viable host to use for replicating. It doesn't care... it's incapable of caring... you an call it the Wuhan Virus, The Chinese Virus, Sars-Cov-2... IT DOESN'T CARE! It does not know what you call it... heck it does not even know its called a VIRUS! it's incapable of knowing... the only thing that people should be engaged in right now is focusing on what actually stops it. that is not in the realm of politics. The virus does not know the age, the race, the gender of its next victim... it finds a viable cell receptor where it can stick that Spike protein on its surface then if successful - it uses that cell to replicate and it's offspring do exactly what their parent did - look for other cells to do the same to.
Let's focus on the basics!!

Uganda will most likely do well, I agree. But not so much coz of HIV experience but Ebola experience. Ebola & Corona mode of spreading have some similarities.

Uganda have had to deal with DRC's Ebola outbreaks as they share a long border

Hey. Trump has a coronavirus task force that includes top disease experts among them Dr Fauci, who has confirmed publicly that Trump follows their advice. Trump doesnt need to read a book to manage corona. He has experts. Seems you don't know how the govt and presidency works.

With benefit of hindsight, it is easy to say that Trump took all the needed action (to some he did a good job if you follow the nutty Hannity). The point is how much time he wasted between the time the Covid warning was provided in his daily briefing, the warning from his staff that this was serious and not a hoax. If you care to, you can see the virus's timeline https://www.nytimes.com/...ronavirus-timeline.html and then look at US's response and see if DJT really did a good job (unless having over 23,000 deaths in less than 2 months and leading the world in infections is a good job)

And you have to also ask yourself, why have states been competing with the federal government for PPE and ventilators in the open market. Who have the Feds/FEMA been sending those so called pirated masks to? If you listen to Hannity, I know your answer.

I am glad my governor chose to take this seriously in early March and closed schools, universities, and non-essential businesses and for that we have prevented a run on our health infrastructure. And I look forward to my governor ignoring the so called "absolute authority" of DJT and only opening up the states businesses based on data and Public health advice.

Maybe Trump should have done NOTHING like Sweden. He should have ignored the 'homa' like the swedes. Then everyone would be happy. Sweden ignored the global corona-panic and now they are safe and the economy is doing great.

So what else do you want Trump to do? All countries under lockdown, including kenya, are suffering job losses. Also note that the number of corona deaths in the US, a country with a population of >300 million is still quite low, and the numbers are lower than those of people who die due to flu. Also do you want to say that Trump's corona response team comprising among other top experts Dr Fauci, the head of infectious diseases in the US, Prof Dr Redfield the head of the US Centre for disease control, Dr Jerome Adams the black man who is the US Surgeon General, and Dr Alex Azar, the US Minister for Health is incompetent?

it's not all rosy my friend

Quote:

Sweden's relatively relaxed approach to controlling the spread of the coronavirus has come under fire in international media and from many locals in the capital Stockholm, where more than half the country's deaths have been recorded. Now, 22 researchers have publicly criticized the strategy and called on politicians to make changes.

I checked on the stats and this is it

Sweden has 10 million people and 11,445 cases (113.33 per 100,000 persons) and 1,033 deaths (9.03% case fatality)
Denmark has 5.6 million people and 6,511 (115.78 per 100,000 persons) and 299 deaths (4.46% case fatality)
Norway has 5.3 million people and 6,623 (122.17 per 100,000 persons) and 139 deaths (2.10% case fatality)
Finland has 5.5 million people and 3,161 cases (57.05 per 100,000 persons) and 64 deaths (2.02% case fatality)

So while the number of people getting infected in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are almost the same - the fatality of the cases in Sweden is more than twice as high as Denmark and more than 4 times as high as Norway and Finland!

The swedish president should stop playing Russian roulette with citizens lives and start listening to medical experts just like Trump is listening to Dr Fauci, Dr Jerome, Prof Dr Redfield & co.
