“We have had an additional 6,484 cases today while the Democrats are blockading. And by the way, where are the Democrats?” Cruz asked. “C-SPAN doesn’t show this whole chamber often, but it would be nice if they did, because that entire side of the chamber is empty. They’re not showing up for work. They’re not doing their job.”
“As of this morning worldwide, there have been 16,381 deaths, so that’s — I’m sorry. That’s the number now. This morning, it was only 15,308,” Cruz concluded. “That means today, while the Democrats have been blocking this bill, 1,073 additional people died. In the United States, as of this morning, there were 471 deaths reported due to coronavirus. As of right now, it’s 573. That means today, 102 Americans died. While the Democrats were blocking consideration of this bill. In Texas, as of this morning, there have been eight deaths. Now there are nine. One Texan died while half this chamber refused to show up and do their job.”

thedailycaller--2020-03-24--Here Are The Media’s Biggest Coronavirus Flubs, Contradictions, And Walk-Backs

The media has criticized President Donald Trump ’ s handling of the coronavirus from the outset , but many of those criticisms have fallen flat , or even had to be walked back .
Approval ratings for the Trump administration have fluctuated throughout the coronavirus pandemic , taking a dip in February but recovering through March .
As the pandemic has progressed , the media has stumbled into contradicting its earlier reporting and fumbling stories on Trump ’ s missteps .
We ’ ve assembled all the biggest media blunders of the coronavirus episode so far .
( RELATED : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Have The Country Open By Easter ’ ) President Trump ’ s opening salvo in America ’ s fight against the coronavirus were travel restrictions on majorly-affected areas , specifically across China .
The initial reaction to that move from Democrats and the media alike was one of shock .
“ The Coronavirus travel ban could backfire , ” one CNN headline read .
The story went on to suggest Trump ’ s move could be a “ pretext for discrimination.
” The New York Times criticized the move as ineffective .
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Is Overblown ) “ At this point , sharply curtailing air travel to and from China is more of an emotional or political reaction , said Dr. Michael T. Osterholm , an epidemiologist and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota , ” according to the NYT article .
Many in the scientific community beclowned themselves because their hatred for Trump blinded them—and does to this day .
pic.twitter.com/QjF8zfkCB0 But while his decision to restrict travel from China was treated as draconian then , his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In late February , numerous outlets and media figures made the now-infamous false claim that Trump called the coronavirus a “ hoax ” at one of his campaign rallies .
“ So , here ’ s the response of the Trump team and its allies to the coronavirus , at least so far : It ’ s actually good for America .
Also , it ’ s a hoax perpetrated by the news media and the Democrats , ” Paul Krugman of NYT wrote .
“ Now Trump faces his first major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holding a political rally where he calls the coronavirus a ‘ hoax , ' ” said Washington Post Columnist Dana Milbank .
( RELATED : VP Pence And Wife Test Negative For Coronavirus ) Outlets followed suit , before many changed their headlines to something more accurate .
Politco ’ s headline read “ Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘ hoax . '
” A Daily Caller fact check found that Trump had in fact referred to the alleged “ politicizing ” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax .
Throughout the speech , Trump reiterated his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously .
While media reporters suggested to president Trump that his referring to the coronavirus as the “ China virus ” was racist , a look into the very-recent past shows that it was these very same outlets , not Trump who pioneered terms like “ Wuhan virus ” and the “ China coronavirus.
” This criticism came despite numerous diseases being named after their places of origin or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease , Ebola , Spanish flu , and the West Nile Virus are all named in this manner .
But the term wasn ’ t racist in January , however , when TIME published about the “ Wuhan coronavirus.
” And dozens of media figures joined them .
Vox even released a video explaining “ Why new diseases keep appearing in China , ” referencing the country ’ s habit of eating wildlife on a regular basis .
For the most part , however , these articles , explainers , and clips have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other Republicans took to referring to the disease as “ Chinese.
” After a man died and his wife was hospitalized in Arizona after they ingested fish tank cleaner , many in the media pointed to Trump as being responsible .
The issue arose after Trump called for the FDA to explore the anti-malaria drug chloroquine ’ s potential use against the coronavirus .
Trump said at several press conferences that the U.S. should begin prescribing it .
Chloroquine also happens to be an ingredient in a cleaning agent for aquariums .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the coronavirus , Axios fingered Trump as responsible before ultimately walking back the claim .
The wife of the man who died said they used the drug because they heard Trump recommend it .
Trump never encouraged people to self-medicate with the drug , however .
( RELATED : Germany Bans Meetings Of More Than Two People ) President Donald Trump directed Federal Drug Administration commissioner Stephen Hahn to waive “ outdated rules and bureaucracies ” on the testing of various “ anti-viral therapies ” to combat coronavirus last week .

The media has criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus from the outset, but many of those criticisms have fallen flat, or even had to be walked back.

Motor oil and fuel if you plan on driving your car through the walking dead, and a first aid kit with extra bandages, antiseptic and rubbing alcohol:

For worst-case scenarios, get a supply of vitamins, aspirins and any other basic medication that is likely to become scarce.

3. Water
There’s no current indication that water services will stop, but that hasn’t stopped people from hoarding bottled water and other water resources. While this seems obvious, as shortages at stores continue, bottled water may be a bit harder to come by.

Juan Williams stepped up Tuesday to defend House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ’ s coronavirus relief bill , saying Democrats only meant to protect American workers .

Gutfeld chimed in then with his own assessment of the bill , saying , “ The only way you can find a virus is through diversity .

“The Simpsons” reportedly wants Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to do the voice of their characters for the show.
“Simpsons” Producer Al Jean said they had talked about doing a Prince Harry and Markle cameo before, according to a report published Monday by The Sun. The couple hasn’t officially been approached by the show.

“We’ve talked about Harry and Meghan,” Jean said, The Sun reported. “I hear she wants to do voiceover work. So if they’re reading this, give us a call!”
I think it’d be great to see a Markle and Prince Harry cameo on “The Simpsons,” but I’m not sure it’d be the greatest look for them. They did have royal titles at one point and now they’re making money off a voiceover for a singular episode of “The Simpsons?” Just seems beneath them to me.
