Mega-Thread: Coronavirus Pandemic

Who said that?

Evidence, please.

Who do you think? Check his twitter.

[noidentity]

That pesky constitution, more specifically the 10th amendment is sure going to piss off the narcissist in chief.

[breadisfunny]

Seems that you will all go back to work next week.

Trump just said that to the "Governors decide the lockdown" myth.

Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. It is the decision of the President, and for many good reasons. With that being said, the Administration and I are working closely with the Governors, and this will continue. A decision by me, in conjunction with the Governors and input from others, will be made shortly!

Cannot believe people here think they can get $2400 and 2 months off from Trump that easily.

the fact that you think people are thrilled to be laid off says all that needs to be said about you.
2400$ isn't even enough to cover rent in some states.

No. He shouldn't be reinstated. He should be stripped of his command and court-martialed. He is the commander of an aircraft carrier. He had all the power and resources to sort this situation out himself. He failed to do so and decided to wash his hands off the situation and ran crying to the media and now a sailor is dead. Death penalty is not off the table tbh.

Death penalty???? For fucking was?! Are you even thinking???

[draynay]

The usual kind.

Anyone else seeing the news on how China is treating African migrants in their country at this moment? Will the same people that called Trump out because of what he called COVID-19 speak out on this?

Yeah I posted a link to that. Dude is angry to realize hes powerless and has no real authority over this situation. Heck, he left it up to the states to shut it down. So he can back off and reap what he sowed. Should have grown a pair and locked down the country himself if he really wanted any say in anything. The governors are the ones doing everything they can to slow and stop this virus while he "takes no responsibility".

Its China. Its not shocking and its not new. Their violate their own peoples rights on the regular. Of course they would treat immigrants poorly.

If you think its a bad idea why dont you yourself stay indoors then and go in lock down till a vaccine is made.
You know that you dont need to do what Trump tells you, you want to go into lock down then do it why does Trump need to tell you.
He is leaving his population atleast a choice, vaccine is far away so people need to make up their own mind to go into lock down for the next 1-2 years and see if they can manage. And if not then you need to solve this problem in some way and that means idd go back to work but keep distance to others in mind what works in alot of EU countries btw.

It's fucking China. They have organ harvesting rings, where minorities are murdered for their parts.

Can we all agree that the CCP = bad?

It is a bad choice. It has been proven historically.
Search about that in the last great pandemic, the spanish flu

So Trump is now attacking WTO and WHO and just used the press conference to run election ad (here goes your tax dollars). Truly, this thread might as well be renamed Trump shitshow thread No. 2, because that would only be fair.
Apparently, he was right, whatever that means:

Trump continues to defend his handling of the pandemic, emphasising: "Everything we did was right."

and is basically thinking about forcing individual states to reopen. Oh boy, here we go again, let's spike up...

You possibly couldn't write even more insane answer, could you? No no, please continue, I want to see just how far you can go - problably death penalty for all those hundreds of crewmembers who cheered at him, right? And let's reinstate the "genius" that was the Navy secretary for good measure, too!

[Pohut]

Death penalty???? For fucking was?! Are you even thinking???

I am glad you don't disagree that it was all his fault and his problem to fix. Death penalty for one death might be too much, but once more sailors die from something he could've easily prevented then you will change your tune.

[tromage2]

So Trump is now attacking WTO and WHO

Well duh ofc WHO did a poor job.
If a global pandemic is not a clear sign that the WHO did a poor job then at what point do you actually think they fucked up?

[Deja Thoris]

Its not escaped me that you haven't spoken out on it either. Hypocrite much?

He followed protocol and reported through the chain of command...

Sailors cheer for aircraft carrier commander

Sailors aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier cheered for Capt. Brett Crozier as he disembarked the ship for the last time, an overwhelming show of support for their leader who was relieved of his command after issuing a stark warning about a coronavirus outbreak onboard.

Those who know Crozier, like retired Cmdr. Guy Snodgrass, who commanded a squadron of F-18s deployed to the USS Ronald Reagan when Crozier served as that ship's executive officer, say the now dismissed captain would not have written the letter were he not alarmed for the health and welfare of those under his command and their families.

"He cares about the health and welfare of his Sailors first and foremost, Snodgrass said. "A commanding officer would easily conclude that if his or her actions resulted in an accelerated response to what was judged to be a rapidly deteriorating situation, then the relief from command was easily worth it." Modly on Thursday also acknowledged Crozier's popularity among the aircraft carrier's crew.

This is just in, the WHO can't enforce anything and thus had no power to stop this pandemic.

You might as well blame the UN for every war that breaks out.

Well to stop a pandemic you need the right advice at a early stage.
They said it was the flu and that other countries did not need to close travel between China and other countries.

This is a clear fuck up, they dont need to enforce they need to provide the right advice at the starting point to stop the spread at an early stage.

7 States Ally to Reopen Economy: Live Updates

The governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Delaware said on Monday that they would work together to plan for reopening the region’s economies, schools and other important elements.
Later in the day, Mr. Cuomo’s office said that Massachusetts would be part of the coalition. Of the seven states, it is the only one with a Republican governor.

The officials participating in the effort, Mr. Cuomo said, would “study the data, study the research, study the experience of other countries, and give us guidelines and parameters to go forward.”

“Let’s be smart and let’s be cooperative and let’s learn from one another,” Mr. Cuomo said.

The seven states together have recorded over 325,000 confirmed virus cases, more than half of the U.S. total, and nearly 14,400 deaths, around 63 percent of the country’s total.

The governors, speaking on a conference call, emphasized the importance of acting in concert so that the actions of one state did not inadvertently hurt another, or cause the outbreak to flare again.

The states realized what Trump didn't. We need a uniform effort on this.

They said it was the flu...

I'm sorry... what now?
