[Now that we're back to mudball fights, we should take them to a fresh sandbox.  I'm constantly amused by our lefty readers not refuting/citing the facts but simply dismissing them on the basis of their dislike of the publisher or broadcaster.  Haven't seen rightwinger dismiss what came out of Maddow simply because it came out of Maddow, who can report verifiable facts as well as the next talking head.  But some of us do take Maddow et al with a dim view when they offer their opinions and interpretations as being something more than the views from their respective perches.  gjr]

We’re far from it I think, but I wonder at what point a feedback loop results in outright collapse of some chain.

    Ever the liar :
    Last Thursday in an interview with Sean Hannity, president trumpler, in reference to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and following a tirade against Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (all Democrats) stated, “some of the equipment that governors are requesting they don’t actually need.” Always the stable genius expert on everything he added, “I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they are going to be. I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators.”
    When asked about those statements on Sunday, trump said, “I didn’t say that.”
    At a briefing on Friday trumpy said, in reference to those same Governors, “I want them to be appreciative. If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call.” When asked about those statements he responded, “But I didn’t say that” a phrase he repeated twice while interrupting the reporter.
    How can people believe a word he says as his lie count approaches 17,000? How is it that the US, with one fourth the population as China, now has more covid-19 cases? Simple, because the stable genius who knows everything about everything mislead and LIED to the American people about the severity of the problem in a feeble effort to prop up a falling stock market and protect his investments.

    It continues to amaze me that some people still believe the stats coming out of China. According to my lights, the only verifiable fact about the C19 virus is that it started in Wuhan sometime last Nov or Dec. The rest of the reports coming out of CCP-sanctioned media are definitely various shades of bullshit. To cite such stats with those of other countries is a step or two below sophomoric or cynical, depending on your agenda (or if you’re bright enough to have one).

    The chi coms are a problem on so many levels –
    WASHINGTON — In late November 2018, just over a year before the first coronavirus case was identified in Wuhan, China, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Detroit Metro Airport stopped a Chinese biologist with three vials labeled “Antibodies” in his luggage.
    The biologist told the agents that a colleague in China had asked him to deliver the vials to a researcher at a U.S. institute. After examining the vials, however, customs agents came to an alarming conclusion.
    “Inspection of the writing on the vials and the stated recipient led inspection personnel to believe the materials contained within the vials may be viable Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) materials,” says an unclassified FBI tactical intelligence report obtained by Yahoo News.
    The report, written by the Chemical and Biological Intelligence Unit of the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD), does not give the name of the Chinese scientist carrying the suspected SARS and MERS samples, or the intended recipient in the U.S. But the FBI concluded that the incident, and two other cases cited in the report, were part of an alarming pattern.
    “The Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate assesses foreign scientific researchers who transport undeclared and undocumented biological materials into the United States in their personal carry-on and/or checked luggage almost certainly present a US biosecurity risk,” reads the report. “The WMDD makes this assessment with high confidence based on liaison reporting with direct access.”
    The report, which came out more than two months before the World Health Organization learned of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan that turned out to be COVID-19, appears to be part of a larger FBI concern about China’s involvement with scientific research in the U.S. While the report refers broadly to foreign researchers, all three cases cited involve Chinese nationals.
    In the case of the suspected SARS and MERS vials, the intelligence report cites another classified document that is marked “FISA,” meaning it contains information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Another case cited in the report appeared to involve flu strains, and a third was suspected E. coli.

    I’m not sure why you’re paying any attention to what this (or any POTUS) says about something like a pandemic. The news was pretty clear from the get-go that it was spreading fast in many countries. Why wouldn’t it do the same here? At least Trump tried to shut the door on folks bringing it here. That’s the complete opposite of the other ‘more enlightened’ countries and look what happened to them.

    It’s obvious how all this went down, just like it does for any serious national problem. The President responds too late, not being prescient. The opposition goes shopping for some domain expert that called the problem before the President did. That’s followed by wailing about how the head of state didn’t listen to Person X. The President’s people go out and find 100 areas where someone else f***ed up. No one looks brilliant. A good time is had by all.

    Absolutely Deplorable,
    AREAS WITH TRUMP VOTERS ARE TRAVELING MORE
    The Bee cross-referenced Unacast’s location data with 14 different social, economic and health metrics for each California county. The metrics included median age, population density, poverty, income, political affiliation and data on the number of COVID-19 cases reported so far. The analysis excluded the state’s two least-populated counties, Alpine and Sierra.
    There were several statistically significant correlations, but the strongest was related to income. People in counties with high median household incomes and low poverty tended to show higher reductions in average distance traveled than other counties.
    All of the state’s 15 wealthiest counties — as measured by median family income — reduced their average distance traveled by at least 45 percent from late February to March 22. The same could be said of only one of the state’s 15 poorest counties — Lake County.
    Education levels also correlated closely with reductions in travel. Counties where a large proportion of residents hold a bachelor’s degree tended to cut travel more than areas where relatively few residents had a degree.
