trDumpie needs a second term in the Oval Office so he can plunder and pilfer the US Treasury some more.

(11,495 posts)in red states are being manipulated to look better than they really are. The republicans want to please trump, so they make up numbers, and their brain dead base accept what ever they say. It's insane!
Just like with trump claiming to take hydroxychloroquine, even though I don't believe he is, his base will start using the stuff. It's pretty obvious to me that trump is trying to make all the money he can before he loses his job. He does not care that a huge number of his base will get the virus, and many will die. All he cares about is himself.

I certainly hope there are other ways to compile the extent of the covid problem in Florida.

(79 posts)However, I hoped that this was not truly happening. Not in Florida, not anywhere. We are having enough trouble with testing to establish a base of reliable data. This is absolutely awful.
I applaud Rebekah for taking a stand, and letting the public know.

(2,226 posts)Coroners, hospitals, more with many people checking the numbers several times a day to keep updated. The page is free for anyone to use. I havent checked on Florida but the states I check seem to have real numbers higher thank the ones being reported.

We and all but the most reality denying Tumpanzees know the numbers are way higher.

I'm sorry, I woke up thinking everyone plays by the same rules.
Won't happen again!

(28,769 posts)if we had been collecting the data rigorously, contact tracing, testing, testing, testing, we would probably be opening up before now, and the people would have confidence. As it is, I know I am not the only person with no plans to be out and about any time soon.

(8,907 posts)My company is thinking of making everyone work on site, the minute Gov. Newsome gives the go ahead.
Really not looking forward to that.

(28,769 posts)as it appears he has so far.
the loud and stupid minority is putting unbearable pressure on our governor here in NC. I'm semi-retired and work from home anyway; my biggest worry is when they want me to fly to Indianapolis. i don't want to do it and am contemplating alternatives and just quitting. i don't want to quit, it supplements my SS and makes life much better for me.
jeez this all sucks.
