Trump has gotta go now. Update.

America is closing in on 60,000 dead … a # which Trump said we would not hit until August 2020 …. and 1,000,000 reported cases, God only knows how many unreported cases of C-19, Trump has now blocked the U.S. from working with an international consortium on finding a vaccine, he is in a fight with the W.H.O. in order to hide his mistakes, and he is straight up bat shit crazy.

We are going to need adults to keep the lights on, the natural gas in the pipelines, the water flowing,
the trash picked up, the food supply lines open, the post office open, and to treat/solve this deadly disease.
Trump is just not up to those challenges. And world wide the #s of dead and or sick will be staggering. A University
of Minnesota Epidemiologist, Dr Osterholm* is on record as saying as much as 60% of the world’s population will get the disease over the next 2 years.

Trump knew about C-19 in November of 2019 and what did he and Kush-Turd do? They looked @ ways
on how to make money off "the Beast.”

England got rid of Chamberlain and replaced him with Churchill during their darkest hour and this is a pretty dark hour
for America and the world. Trump has to gotta go now.

* "This is going to get worse. This is going to get much, much worse. I think most people don't understand that," Osterholm said. "As such, what we're doing now is just the beginning of what will likely be a 16- to maybe 20-month period of time when we're all going to be dealing with this issue. It will be a real challenge.”

was that the most at risk of the population should isolate and the rest of us should get on with life (a belief I happen to share and expect to be pilloried for here). If there is no vaccine (a distinct possibility) the global population can’t stay locked down forever, so yeah it’s probably going to look worse before it looks better.

All my trips to Latin America for work are off for the foreseeable future (regardless of the lockdowns I wouldn't go anyway). I often work in rural communities and that's a hard no at the moment.

... in the paddy then the chances of the disease spreading are very high.



All of this is so unnecessary. Why did Trump have to fire all those people that
Obama and international health organizations have in place in China and in some
cases in Wuhan, China whose job it was to catch and stop things like C-19. They
were already working on a vaccine for a coronavirus (SARs).

With no idea how many are infected from no testing on a massive level . Reporters need to ask trump and these Governors who is responsible if this explodes the infection rate , and puts millions more at extreme risks . Who is liable , trump , Governors , businesses? When it blows up again making this last longer will they get sued? They don't have the data with little testing done that will support what they are doing , and will have to answer for it in court. It will backfire on them all.
