Quote:"It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better," Trump said. 


In a shift in tone, and after weeks of focusing public events on other issues, Trump urged Americans to wear a mask. The president, who was not wearing a mask himself, previously had said that wearing a mask was a personal choice – though public health officials have increasingly argued that mask-wearing is effective in limiting the spread.  

"We're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask," Trump said. "Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they have an effect. We need everything we can get."

It only took months for the genius to understand.

Flailing... I guess the ads depicting people breaking into your house to kill you if Biden is elected haven't shifted the needle enough.

He still doesn't understand...he just needs to lie differently for votes now.

You can be both in favor of wearing masks and encourage others to do so while being against mask mandates put in place by the government. It is a legitimate position. I know Kemp is garbage, but I just have to bring this up.

Kemp is probably also taking the Trump approach that *HE* can tell people what to do...not local officials who might be not republican.

Folks, I don't know how to break this to you, but I *think* the gop really doesn't care to handle this virus thing.

Trump tried to simultaneously a) suggest infected Mexican migrants were a major contributor to rising US coronavirus cases and b) boast that his wall has been very successful in keeping out Mexican migrants. pic.twitter.com/kksJFJI6uE

So even Trump thinks he will lose on November 3rd and things will magically get better overnight?

Quote: About as many people are now known to be hospitalized with the coronavirus in the United States as during any other time in the pandemic, matching the previous peak in April.

Public health experts say detailed local data on where people are hospitalized — a real-time measure that does not depend on levels of testing — is crucial to understanding the epidemic, but federal officials have not made this data public. The New York Times gathered data for nearly 50 metropolitan areas, including 15 of the 20 largest cities in the country, using state and local health department data to provide the first detailed national look at where people are falling seriously ill.

Just to dispel the right wing myth that hospitalizations are down.

So it's a hoax but Trump says wearing a mask makes him an ultra patriot and it's "going to get worse" but Trump also knows it's going to:

1. be down to zero cases soon
2. disappear like a miracle
3. disappear after the election


Even if Biden or any of the 3rd party candidates are as nuts as people seem to think they are I can't imagine them making less sense than this. Now if you'll excuse me a giant midget black and white skinny fat stranger who is my best friend just came to my front door while living in a run down state of the art mansion hovel in Xanadu.

But he passed that very hard test so well the doctors were totally impressed.  They may even have called him sir and cried.

I'm still convinced that seeing if someone brags about how smart he is after acing a dementia test is the real test.

Our daily update is published. It was far and away the biggest testing day on record, with 930k results reported. States also reported the second highest number of cases ever (75k) and, for the fourth day in a row, more than 1,000 deaths (1,178). pic.twitter.com/KMqWgf5iQ7

Quote:  Local TV stations across US to air conspiracy theory on Fauci


Sinclair stations to run interview with Plandemic researcher who claims infectious disease expert created the coronavirus

Sat 25 Jul 2020 11.56 EDT

Last modified on Sat 25 Jul 2020 12.38 EDT



TV stations across the US owned by Sinclair Television will this weekend run an interview with a conspiracy theorist who claims baselessly that Dr Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, created the coronavirus behind the current pandemic.


Dr Judy Mikovits, a former research scientist, is behind the widely discredited Plandemic video, which makes a string of false and outlandish claims including that any coronavirus vaccine will kill millions and that beaches should not be closed because the sand and ocean will somehow treat Covid-19.


Fauci is the 79-year-old director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He has served six presidents but Donald Trump has sought to keep him off television, called him “alarmist” and frequently undermined his work.

The US is in the grip of a worsening coronavirus outbreak in which more than 4.1m cases have been recorded and more than 145,000 people have died.

Mikovits’ lawyer, Larry Klayman, also appeared on Sinclair’s America This Week with the former Fox News host Eric Bolling. The interview was posted online before broadcast.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors far-right groups in the US, Klayman, the founder of the Judicial Watch, is “a pathologically litigious attorney and professional gadfly notorious for suing everyone from Iran’s supreme leader to his own mother”.

On Bolling’s show, Klayman and Mikovits said they planned to sue Fauci because, Mikovits claimed, in the last decade the doctor “manufactured” and shipped coronaviruses to Wuhan, China, the origin of the pandemic.

Bolling told CNN he did not “know of any video [Mikovits] was in prior to or after appearing on my show” and said: “Frankly, I was shocked when she made the accusation.”

The host also said he had questioned Mikovits’ claim, which on air he called “hefty”, and had added Dr Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor, to the show in order to provide balance.

“I asked our producers to add Saphier to the show for the express purpose of debunking the conspiracy theory,” he told CNN. “I believe viewers see that I did not and do not endorse [Mikovits’] theory.”

Saphier said it was “highly unlikely” Fauci made the coronavirus. But she also said it was possible the virus was made in a laboratory.

Leading Trump allies have pushed that claim as the administration seeks to blame China for the pandemic. Experts say the disease originated in a wet market, where live wild animals are sold for food.

Speaking to the Guardian in May, Professor Eric Oliver, a University of Chicago political scientist and author of Enchanted America: How Intuition and Reason Divide Our Politics, said medical conspiracy theories were the most widely circulated and believed.

“This sort of contagious disease that’s invisible makes people extremely apprehensive,” he said, adding that the coronavirus pandemic is “a profoundly displacing event and the uncertainty and anxiety it has generated in health, the economy and politics are just really deep.

“Some people are primed to seek out some sort of simple answer to very complex political and health issues and into that void conspiracy theories rush right in.”

The company’s links to the Trump administration have come under scrutiny, for example when in 2018 local news anchors were instructed to read an identical script criticising “fake” news stories.

Its chairman, David D Smith, has said that in 2016 he told Trump: “We are here to deliver your message.”

They are a more invasive form of FOX News...maybe even closer to OANN with their requirement for locals to read news a certain way all across the country.

How many people would be motivated to return to work; if you could make more not working:

IMO, the desire to extend this unemployment bonus while not eliminating payroll taxes is a tactic to ensure those that have a choice chose to stay home while those that have no choice must make less.

I am 100% positive there is more right wing media out there and that it is more destructive than the left wing media the prez and his minions fear monger about.

How many total people are affected and the break down between who has a choice and who doesn't?
