A Sun Belt time bomb threatens Trump’s reelection
Rising Covid-19 caseloads in Florida, Arizona and Texas raise fresh doubts about the president's reelection prospects.
The explosion of Covid-19 cases in Sun Belt states is becoming another albatross for President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes — and creating a new opening for Joe Biden and Democrats in November.
Republican governors in Florida, Arizona and Texas followed Trump’s lead by quickly reopening their states while taking a lax approach to social distancing and mask-wearing. Now, each of them is seeing skyrocketing coronavirus caseloads and rising hospitalizations, and Republican leaders are in retreat.
It’s hard to overstate the gravity of the situation for Trump: Lose any one of the three states, and his reelection is all but doomed.
Liberal outside groups and the Biden campaign have launched digital and TV ads in Florida, Arizona and Texas hitting Trump for allowing a second wave of coronavirus. The developments have buttressed Biden’s main argument against Trump: that he’s incapable of bringing stability or healing in a time of crisis.
Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to Biden, said Trump’s actions have only exacerbated Republicans’ vulnerabilities in the three states. Polls indicate Florida is Biden’s best pickup opportunity, followed by Arizona and then Texas, a bigger reach.
“The reality is, when it comes to this president’s handling of the pandemic and the subsequent economic disaster that’s befallen our country — which was totally predictable coming out of the pandemic and his handling of it — Trump’s failed leadership has been exposed in a profound way,” Dunn told POLITICO. She added that it “makes him abnormally vulnerable in states that have not traditionally been as competitive as they are now.”
It’s still too soon to tell how the pandemic will affect voters in the three states. While RealClearPolitics lists Texas as a “toss-up,” Trump has led two of the past three polls in the reliably red state. Arizona was trending toward Democrats before the pandemic and polls show Biden with a small lead there, but Democrats expect a battle.
Trump’s campaign accuses Democrats of exploiting tragedy.
“While President Trump has been leading the country through the coronavirus crisis, all Joe Biden and his allies have done is try to use a public health issue as a political weapon,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said. “It’s despicable but typical. They really should focus their attention on New York, where they’ve had a disastrous response — 10 times worse than a state like Florida, which has a higher population.”

"A federally funded study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases published at the end of April indicated that remdesivir can shorten COVID-19 patients' hospital stays by about four days. But it's unclear whether the drug also improves survival.Remdesivir Priced At More Than $3,100 For A Course Of Treatment
An experimental COVID-19 medicine that has been shown to shorten the time people with severe illness have to stay in the hospital finally has a price tag that's lower than some analysts expected.
"If further data do not show a clear mortality benefit for remdesivir, then the price of the drug should be dramatically reduced," Pearson said in his written statement.
The drug price will send a message to companies working on other treatments, vaccines and cures for COVID-19. They have been watching remdesivir closely to find out what kind of reward they might expect for their investments, should their own treatments pan out.
At the announced price, Gilead is still expected to profit from remdesivir sales. That should be encouraging for companies currently investing and developing additional COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
"Gilead will make a good amount of money selling this product," Craig Garthwaite, who directs the health care program at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, told NPR. "And that's really the return other people have been looking at. In the end, really, the other firms aren't necessarily looking at the price Gilead charges. What they're really looking at is, what is the payoff that they get on their investment? "
So, it's still about the Almighty Fucking Dollar, eh?
Fuck Humanity or simply trying too do the right thing in this unique time of crisis.
It's always about the profit margin, right?
May all your mothers, sons & daughters get COVID-19 & fucking die, you profit hungry CEO's of those American companies that are still putting profit above all other concerns.
Fuck Capitalism, it a failed economic theory in my opinion, that leaves way too many people by the wayside causing crime and poverty, hand in hand, while a mere few, mostly scumbags, control the Destiney of hundreds of millions.
Marx had it figured out.

Being in fear of your life for weeks while cut off from emotional support and family while being put on a ventilator is traumatic for the patients to say the least. Having large numbers of people die all around you while you feel powerless to help can be equally traumatic, all the while living in fear of catching it yourself and watching colleges get sick and some die, is traumatic too. Having it go on for weeks on end without a break while you're near worked to death and exhausted on all levels doesn't help either.

Convalescent plasma looks most promising right now and is ongoing, but a large good quality study is weeks away, if it shows positive results, the plasma program will kick start into high gear. Plasma is voluntary and free, we can collect, test (for quality & quantity of antibodies) and distribute tens of thousands of units a day without too much federal involvement. We currently transfuse over 40,000 people a day normally.
Plasma is free and the infrastructure is already in place, we await a credible study, if we get one expect it to make the news. States and the red cross can pull this one off. There will be logistical problems with most antiviral drug treatments, not so much for the steroids and other drugs they are using to save lots of lives in hospitals by dealing with inflammation and blood clotting issues.

Ex-Bush Aide Lays Blame For New Coronavirus Spike: ‘This Is Trump’s Plague Now’
“What will happen in July is entirely Trump’s fault,” David Frum argued.
The blame for the second spike of the coronavirus that the United States is currently enduring can be squarely laid on President Donald Trump, said an ex-speechwriter for former President George W. Bush.
“The first coronavirus spike, in late April, can be blamed on President Donald Trump’s negligence. The second spike, in June, is his own doing,” David Frum argued Monday in a new column for The Atlantic, where he now works as a senior editor.
“This is Trump’s plague now,” he added.
Frum noted how the earlier sacrifices made by people mandated to stay-at-home for weeks had now been thrown away with the premature reopening of the country for the sake of economy, without the proper safety measures in place to combat the spread of the contagion.
What “has happened in the U.S. in June, and what will happen in July, is entirely Trump’s fault,” said Frum.
“This time, though, reality will not be blustered away,” he continued. “Tens of thousands are dead, and millions are out of work, all because Trump could not and would not do the job of disease control—a job that includes setting a positive example to those Americans who trust and follow his leadership.”
“How lethal will this new peak be? We will learn that the way we seem to learn everything in this era of Trump: the hard way,” Frum concluded.

The EU will formally block entry tomorrow for travelers from Russia, Brazil & of course, the USA, countries that have no fucking idea of how to deal with the Virus & have failed miserably in containment.
They're even going to allow the fucking Chinese in, which say's a lot.
So for all you that were thinking about seeing France, Italy, Spain, Germany or going too smoke a joint in Amsterdam this year, your shit out of luck.
Nice job Trump, because the buck does stop with you, you moronic, imbecilic fucking disaster of a fucking Human.

I know it's early (before noon) and I'm pretty high right now (a beer & 2 bowls
), but that graph doesn't make any sense to me at all.How the fuck was the USA prepared?
We failed, or should I say Trump failed the USA.
This is the latest data as of Wednesday last week on the infection rates in the World
He wants to call it the "Kung flu", the "China virus" or the "Wuhan virus" instead of what it is called by the scientific community, simply the coronavirus or COVID-19, thinking he's being witty.
You know what I will call it & I think a lot of other Americans are gonna call it.
Trump's Fucking Virus, that should have FUCKING NEVER REACHED THIS LEVEL IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!
But, on a bright note (I'm vicious), the Red States are getting slammed now thanks to listening to Trump & they're Republican Governors
So, a big dose of reality in settling into Florida, Arizona & Texas, where their cases are outpacing NYC in April, and it's only just begun.
Do ya think they're gonna wear masks now?
we had a robust system. he dismantled our pandemic response office and slowed the testing by not sending kits out.I know it's early (before noon) and I'm pretty high right now (a beer & 2 bowls
