  1. George Conway lays out why Trump is to blame for our botched Covid-19 response

    From Kellyanne Conway’s husband, George Conway:

    “For Trump supporters, let me make one thing VERY clear!

    For the record NO ONE is blaming the President for the virus. Let me repeat. Coronavirus is not Trump’s fault.
    Here’s a detailed list of what we are blaming him for:

    * Trump declined to use the World Health Organization’s test like other nations. Back in January, over a month before the first Covid19 case, the Chinese posted a new mysterious virus and within a week, Berlin virologists had produced the first diagnostic test. By the end of February, the WHO had shipped out tests to 60 countries. Oh, but not our government. We declined the test even as a temporary bridge until the CDC could create its own test. The question is why? We don’t know but what to look for is which pharmaceutical company eventually manufactures the test and who owns the stock. Keep tuned.

    * In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.

    * In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.

    * In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.

    * Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.

    * Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.

    * In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.

    * Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.

    * Trump has on multiple occasions sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word hoax at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus.

    * Trump pretended the virus had been contained.

    * Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers in America.

    Repeat. We do not blame Trump for the virus. We blame him for gutting the nation’s preparations to deal with it. We blame him for bungling testing and allowing it to spread uninhibited. We blame him for wasting taxpayer money on applause lines at his rallies (like The Wall). We blame him for putting his own political life over American human life. I hope this clears things up.”

  2. The headline of the linked article is

    “Perspective: There were 83,780 Flu-Pneumonia Deaths in US this Season — So far Only 4,059 Coronavirus Deaths in US this Year”

  3. Latest data from Illinois Government website on Virus cases:

    Cook County 5152
    McHenry County 69

    Does McHenry County need a travel ban from and to Cook County. What say the Chairman? Is he looking out for our County?

  4. At a conference on March 15, 2015, Microsoft founder Bill Gates warned of a dangerous pandemic. He said:

    “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes.”

    President Barak Hussein Obama and his clown sidekick, Joe Biden, had 2 years to plan for this but did nothing to prepare the U.S. for a pandemic.

  5. The McHenry County figures are from yesterday.

    Today the number is 79.

  6. Poor Georgie pudding and pie stuck his finger in his eye….

    He got embarrassed by Trump and grasps at straws to whine whenever he can.

    Serious people don’t take George seriously at all but he is good for a laugh.

    One of the many problems, and there are many, with the governments management of this sickness is it is absolutely plausible to think the entirety of this emergency is politically manufactured, not something worthy of boogie man fear.

    The Federal government, through all political stripes, has lied so much to the American People about really big things their opinion/leadership on anything is completely suspect.

    The Illinois government, through all political stripes, hasn’t ever told the truth.

    Pritzker is a toot in a hurricane.

    No one takes anything that idiot says with anything more than a chuckle and then they all look to Madigan for how to exploit whatever the issue du jour is today.

    When the Federal Government says they’ve balanced the budget, passed a comprehensive health law good for The People and declared war because of Weapons of Mass Destruction not a soul believes them.

    When normal people want advice for anything they don’t visit government web sites, they find experienced experts in their field.

    Even the experienced experts trotted out by all levels of government are suspected of being bought off to reach a talking point conclusion.

    No one should be, or is, surprised most people are believing this “pandemic” as much as they believe aliens stuck a probe up Jethro’s butt.

    It’s possible.

    The very believable entertainment media sure show some pictures anecdotally proving their Master’s talking points.

    At this point in American history the credibility of the First Estate is shaky, the Second Estate doesn’t exist, the Third Estate is just hearsay, the Fourth Estate is gutted with what’s left just being paid mouthpieces for a point of view which leads only the Fifth Estate as a possible credible group but this isn’t remotely the case either.

    What do people believe?

    In another month there will be homelessness, hungry citizens and no help coming because this country is so communist we can’t produce enough TP to overcome demand.

    Since there are wildly differing beliefs about the seriousness of the Corona Virus due to massive credibility issues of the messengers please believe the average person cannot endure indefinite business closures and massive job loss for much longer.

    $1200 amounts to “let them eat cake”.

    We will feed ourselves.

    This is a surety so bank on it.

    Corona Virus or no men won’t allow their families to starve while billionaires tell us “what’s good for us”.

    Careful political animals.

    The basest needs are under attack and political differences won’t matter any more, belief won’t matter any more and civility won’t matter any more when those needs surpass the billionaires needs to control the lemmings.

  7. Priest, I’m with you 1000%

    I can’t believe the mass hysteria

  8. So I read “thegatewaypundit” article and looked up the data at the site given:

    https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html

    I downloaded the table.

    It shows an average of 5,771 deaths from the flu each year and an average of 78,009 pneumonia deaths each year.

    This data are clearly wrong.

    I’ve written to the CDC to alert them to the problem and ask for an explanation, but I don’t expect to hear back from them for some time.

    They’re a little busy right now.

    In any case, the historical and more complete record shows remarkably different numbers.

    Below are other CDC websites and their data.

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

    From the above-referenced site: from October 1, 2019, through March 21, 2020, there have been an estimated:

    38 million to 54 million flu illnesses
    24,000 – 62,000 flu deaths

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

    From the above-referenced site, the number of flu cases and deaths for the last two seasons:

    2017-2018 45.0 million cases 61,000 deaths
    2018-2019 35.5 million cases 34,157 deaths

    https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pneumonia.htm

    From the above-referenced site: the number of pneumonia deaths in 2017: 49,157

    None of this, of course, is indicative of the ultimate toll that will occur from COVID-19.

    We’ll just have to wait and see.

  9. It is called fourth generation warfare. They have extinguished the enemy (that would be all of us) without ever firing a shot. They did it through mass hysteria trauma-based mind control. Do you really believe that after their October 2019 Event 201 which actually laid this all out word for word that this is some planned demic that just happened? Get your mind back under your own control. This is all a horrific lie. They have been caught faking so much of their “news” and you are still willing to give your life over into this tyranny? I have shown you nine ways from Sunday how this is a total 100% hoax and you still want to trust the liars and thieves? No one is sick. No one has died of any fake disease. All fake pictures that you are being shown. Real people that care about others are going around doing the real digging and reporting and absolutely decimating and destroying the controller’s lies by putting real facts and real photos out there for you; yet you want to turn on CNN and Fox and suck up the bs that is all manufactured by the evil entities that will stomp on your face and enslave you forever just becaue you let them. The sheer stubborn stupidity is heartwrenching.

  10. Bred – Mr. Gates’ warning was actually 1 yr & 9 mo before the end of Obama’s presidency, but what do math and actual facts mean really?

    And, while we’re on the topic, Trump has claimed “the shelves were bare” when he was inaugurated.

    He’s had 3 yrs & 2 mos (approaching TWICE the amount of time) to re-stock them.

    Where are all the supplies?

  11. So, Big Orange, Obama and sidekick Biden had 1 year and 10 months to develop a strategy and plans for the pandemic that Gates predicted. Go ahead and give us those details and/or websites so we can read for ourselves what they did to prepare.
