They know they can't really do anything. They've known from the beginning. But they can't appear to look like they can't.

This is just like week 1.X of 5+ weeks of hell coming up and there will be panic I promise you. I'm not sticking around to be proven right or wrong there is no reason to stay in NYC there's nothing here left right now except confinement.

Tell me what the harm was done in eliminating some and reassigning others (who stilled worked on pandemic response) black suits on the NSC? I'm genuinely curious. The CDC, NIH, and other federal agencies were still staffed with career professionals whose job it is to handle pandemic response. Again, cutting down on NSC didn't do a thing for preparedness, unless you're going to argue that the CDC, NIH, and others were asleep at the wheels all these years

Moving on, Biden would not have closed off flights to China when President Trump did (if ever). Remember, he and other leftists called such a move premature, xenophobic, and racist That move saved thousands of lives.

Link please, because I'm hugely skeptical. Viruses aren't functional outside an organism. They don't generate heat themselves.

Now an infrared camera CAN be used to detect people with a fever. That CAN be useful.. But that vastly different from detecting viruses on a surface.

Nations that have so far most effectively dealt with the virus have not had to do any of that. What they did do was have a clear plan for what to do, have clear communication to the public that the public can trust, ramp up protective gear and medical supplies even if they originally did not have enough of that manufacturing capability, and deployed a lot of testing.

Well I see how this will go. I know where you stand and why. Stay safe.

Perhaps now in the future we will have a plan. Like we have fire drills and shelter in place drills at work we will have training at work in school for preparing to work and go to school at home . We will have masks and gloves for weeks and food stores.

And you thought it was real. This is why education is important.

Given the timing, it wouldn't be Biden anyway, it would have been the Hildabeast. Given her disastrous tenure as Secretary of State, no, I wouldn't expect she would have done any better.

As far as Biden, he's never RUN anything, he was a legislator. No one really has any idea how he would be as an executive at anything, because he's never done it before.

The is just a tip of the iceberg where some churches will take advantage of others for their own greed. Brace yourself for Easter Sunday.

A Louisiana pastor is apparently defying the governor's order against gatherings of more than 50 people by hosting over 1,000 churchgoers at a service Sunday and bringing together hundreds at another service Tuesday, according to the pastor and local media.
