Malaria drug isn’t what it’s all worked up to be. Well gonna give it more time
listen to what the county official said.
It was a poor speech and a great example of someone failing to speak properly and leading to extreme conclusions to reaffirm a conspiracy. They clearly are not doing what they said they would and apologized. Next.They clarified that they wouldn’t force anyone out of their homes. If they were to try and do that it would be 10 steps to far.Ventura County clarifies claims it would force people from homes into isolated coronavirus centers

Seems lower than all projections14.7 % unemployment rate.
I'm shocked how low it is. Still the highest since the Great Depression, but I expected something more like 20%.14.7 % unemployment rate.
In April 2020, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 14.4%.1 That's the highest since the Great Depression. Most of the 23,078 unemployed were laid off to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis forecasts that unemployment could rise to 30% during the pandemic.2Seems lower than all projections

So Glad Potus listened to scientist and embraced what they said. They claimed we would have 2.2 million dead. Instead looks like we will end up 100,00 -150,000, which is still terrible. We took draconian measures, but he lead the country into reducing that 2.2 million by over 90%. Was a great job by the Potus,WH corono team, American Citizens. Now we gotta start the long haul climb back out of the economic hole. No doubt we can do it.
A couple of points to remember: this is far from over (at least if there is a second wave), so the death toll is uncertain. While the president has made some obvious decisions that have helped, the lock downs have probably done more to slow the spread than anything else--and those decisions have been made at the state level.
The president could have done more from the standpoint of preparation before March. In my view he gets a very low score on that. His personal personae in February of attacking the press rather than giving serious warnings to the country did much harm, I'm afraid.
He implemented travel restrictions against China on Jan. 31st, and declared a national Public Health Emergency the same day. What more were you wanting prior to Feb?
EDIT: I almost forgot - even prior to Jan. 31st, the administration ordered American diplomats and citizens to depart Wuhan on Jan. 23rd.

I'll reply just once because I don't want to turn this into a political thread.
Like I said above, the first thing he should have done is taken a different tone publicly. He could have also used the time to make sure that our country had all the resources needed (tests; PPE, etc), and prepared the nation psychologically for what was coming. He--and others--were caught flat-footed. I think that is more than fair to say.
Some say it's unfair; that no one could have seen it coming. Perhaps. But in the end, this is price of leadership, rightly or wrongly. And I speak as someone who is the leader of an organization.
I usually don't get a flu shot unless I'm forced to because of working in the hospitals. However, I probably won't get this one. I'm afraid they are going to rush into one and I'm wary of the side effects. From what I read the swine flu vaccine caused some serious problems because of that.New Yahoo News/YouGov coronavirus poll: Almost 1 in 5 say they won't get vaccinated
Asked whether they plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if and when a vaccine arrives, a majority of Americans say yes. But a significant minority say they won’t get vaccinated or they’re not sure. And that, more than anything else, is what the Yahoo News/YouGov poll found — that Americans...www.yahoo.com
