And i saw it all yesterday. One buffoon called this the shutdown the worst mistake in American History and maybe in world history. The buffoonery continues, willie, and whats incredible is as one doctor told us, one expert told us, were in the second inning of a nineinning game and these fools, i will say, yes, fools, are acting as if this is over. And its the ninth inning and everybody just overreacted just like they were doing in february and march. They still are not learning their lessons. And theyre not acknowledging the fact that the reason the numbers arent as high as they could have been, the reason that the hospitals have not been swamped as they could have been is because of action that was taken, because of stayathome orders and because of social distancing. Thats not taking my word for it, thats taking dr. Anthony faucis word for it. Thats taking dr. Deb before birx word for it. Thats an ignorant take, but ive seen it out there too. Even as the u. S. Crossed the 1 million m
We all mourn when a health care her row is lost because we are one in this. What do you say . Lets get after it. The president is not only recognizing the need for testing now. He also gave you some key insights today. Well, it will go down to zero ultimately. If you test, you are going to show many more cases. At the appropriate time it will be down to zero. Now, first of all, you have to remember that trump told you that covid would be gone by now. All right . There is no Science Behind his suggestions but you know that already at this point or i hope you do. But there is a key part of that statement that you may miss. He just told you why he ducked testing for so long, and they did duck it. More testing means more cases identified. Trump did not like the idea of showing how fast covid was spreading seeing how he was calling it a host and saying it was going to go away and only be a dozen or so cases. Now we have to be careful not just to throw barbs and play gotcha. No, no. We have
Just to throw barbs and play gotcha. No, no, we have to talk about it so we dont repeat it, okay . New models are projecting thousands more lives may be claimed by states if they reopen before theyre ready. Florida has a stayhome order that expires friday. The governor there, Governor Desantis talked reopening plans with trump today and hit back at critics saying he waited too long initially to shut things down. You look at some of the most draconian orders that have been issued in some of these states and compare florida in terms of our hospitalizations per 100,000, in terms of our fatalities per 100,000. You go from d. C. , maryland, new jersey, new york, connecticut, massachusetts, michigan, indiana, ohio, illinois, you name it, floridas done better. I wonder if that list of states is also accurate in terms of all the kids he sent back from spring break after letting them party down in a studepid w in his own state. I wonder if those states were affected by that. Draconian. Is that
Quarantine after she visited the white house last week. It is difficult to see but this is Vice President pence arriving at the white house today. He was not wearing a mask. A spokesperson for the Vice President said pence will not be in quarantine despite the fact that a different spokesperson for the Vice President katie miller is one of the two white house officials who tested positive for the virus. That is miller in this photo. You could see right now from thursday. This is at a virginia retirement home from before she tested positive. She is the only one in the picture not wearing a mask. A source tells cnn that the president has been expressing worry that these infections in his white house undermine the message that the pandemic is under control and states should reopen. Those white house cases are just a small part, of course, of the more than 1. 3 million who have tested positive in this country and at this hour there are 79,894 deaths due to coronavirus in the United States.
