President Donald Trump ’ s response to the Coronavirus outbreak has proven marked by one major attribute : ignorance .
During a conference call with governors on Monday , Trump reportedly completely dismissed the need to continue to ramp up U.S. Coronavirus testing capabilities .
Despite continuous reports about the sometimes desperate search for testing kits , even in long hard-hit areas like Washington , Trump insisted that he had not “ heard about testing in weeks , ” suggesting that — thanks to his administration , of course — the situation was a-okay and nothing to be concerned about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ It would be shocking to me that if anyone who has had access to any newspaper , radio , social networks or any other communication would not be knowledgeable about the need for test kits .
I can be assured that the White House knows very well about this desperate need for test kits.

As he put it on the call : Has he been listening ?
At all ?
Revealing his ignorance , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ volume of tests overall indicates that the country is on the right track — but a relevant metric would be the number of tests conducted per capita .
How many people out of every thousand have been tested ?
Out of every 10,000 ?

President Donald Trump’s response to the Coronavirus outbreak has proven marked by one major attribute: ignorance. During a conference call with governors on Monday, Trump reportedly completely dismissed the need to continue to ramp up U.S. Coronavirus testing capabilities. Despite continuous reports about the sometimes desperate search for testing kits, even in long hard-hit areas like Washington, Trump insisted that he had not “heard about testing in weeks,” suggesting that — thanks to his administration, of course — the situation was a-okay and nothing to be concerned about. The reality is the opposite.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, was incredulous, calling Trump’s claimed ignorance “shocking.” He commented:
‘It would be shocking to me that if anyone who has had access to any newspaper, radio, social networks or any other communication would not be knowledgeable about the need for test kits. I can be assured that the White House knows very well about this desperate need for test kits.’
And yet, Trump pompously suggested that local authorities had nothing to be concerned about.
As he put it on the call:
‘I haven’t heard about testing in weeks. We’ve tested more now than any nation in the world. We’ve got these great tests and we’re coming out with a faster one this week. I haven’t heard about testing being a problem.’
Has he been listening? At all? Revealing his ignorance, he’s suggested that the high U.S. volume of tests overall indicates that the country is on the right track — but a relevant metric would be the number of tests conducted per capita. How many people out of every thousand have been tested? Out of every 10,000? According to that metric, The Times notes that the U.S. “still lags well behind other nations like South Korea,” where the first Coronavirus case was detected on the exact same day as the U.S. but swift and comprehensive government response has contained the outbreak to a far greater extent than the U.S.
Within the U.S., governors across the country are facing dire straits. On Monday, Montana Governor Steve Bullock insisted:
‘Literally we are one day away, if we don’t get test kits from the C.D.C., that we wouldn’t be able to do testing in Montana.’
Running out of appropriate testing capabilities in an entire state would, of course, be dire — and this danger remains, months into the crisis, thanks in no small part to the president’s ignorant waffling.
Other governors who’ve sounded alarms about testing shortages include Inslee, Virginia Democrat Ralph Northam, and, apparently, North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper. Other locales have faced other issues — New York City, for instance, has suffered a tremendous strain on their hospital system because of the surge of patients. Multiple field hospitals have quickly been developed around the city to deal with capacity. The state has suffered 67,000 confirmed cases — a figure revealed by their rigorous testing regimen.
At present, the outbreak seems likely to last for at least weeks more. Governor Northam in Virginia recently handed down a stay-at-home order for his state that’s in-place until June 5. As some observers pointed out, Northam is a doctor, so knows what he’s dealing with.
Gov. Ralph Northam issued a stay-at-home order effective until June 10 banning gatherings of more than 10 people, among other provisions. [Northam executive order]. WORTH NOTING THAT NORTHAM IS AN MD. He is out until June 10. I’m guessing he is the most realistic of the Govs — Howard Dean (@GovHowardDean) March 31, 2020


bipartisanreport--2020-03-31--Ex-Vice President Hammers Trump COVID-19 Message

In late February , at a rally in South Carolina , President Donald Trump insisted that concern about the Coronavirus was a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats .
Now , over 164,000 Americans have been confirmed to have been infected by the virus and over 3,100 Americans have died — including 500 just on Monday — and former Vice President Al Gore has joined the chorus of those hammering the president for his past refusals to take the virus seriously .
During an appearance on CNN this Monday night , Gore mockingly suggested that Trump had been attempting to essentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ I ’ m afraid many Americans have been misled into [ believing ] some of his earlier statements about using the word hoax — and he used it in a specialized way — but saying it was going to disappear , those kinds of things .
I feel badly for those who believe that stuff and have not been protecting themselves .
Now , I think the president — to his credit — has been moving away from that .
I think he ’ s learned that you can ’ t gaslight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got to pay attention to what the scientific facts are.

He ’ s insisted , for example , that he always took the virus seriously — but it ’ s not as though the February rally at which he indicated the exact otherwise was secret .
The video is publicly available !
This Monday , Trump even insisted that his past “ individual statements ” about the outbreak are “ all true.
” As he put it , addressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s suggestion of the dangers of Trump ’ s past rhetoric mirrors comments that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) offered over the weekend , which incensed the president and some of his top Republican allies .
She insisted , in short , that the president ’ s behavior , including his dismissal of the virus ’ s significance during the early weeks of the outbreak , has been “ deadly.
” As she put it : ‘ His denial at the beginning was deadly .
His delaying of getting equipment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deadly… I don ’ t know what the scientists said to him : When did this president know about this and what did he know ?
.. As the president fiddles , people are dying.
’ Needed ventilators and other medical equipment and supplies could have been produced earlier in the outbreak and potentially help support people who are suffering and dying .

The death toll has grown amidst the president ’ s failures to get supplies to where they ’ re needed .

CNN's @Acosta reads Trump his previous statements downplaying the coronavirus and asks what he would tell Americans upset over his handling of the crisis.

Donald Trump is wont to approach life in a slap-dash manner rather than strategically. Perhaps, he does not understand any other way of operating. As a result, serious mistakes quickly rise to the surface as America’s major cities face the coronavirus.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) held a press conference to let people know how the federal government’s response to his state’s call for protective medical masks went awry. The governor said that the White House sent his state the wrong kind of medical mask in its recent shipment.
When the 300,000 masks arrived, his people found that instead of the N95 respirator masks, the shipment contained surgical masks, CNN reported. The former are necessary to keep the virus from penetrating them. The surgical masks cannot stop coronavirus.
At the governor’s news conference, he noted that “the N95 masks that were promised” were missing:
‘My team is sorting through the shipment of 300,000 N95 masks the White House personally told me would be sent to our state, and while we do not have a final count on this yet, I can say with certainty that what they sent were not the N95 masks that were promised but instead were surgical masks, which is not what we asked for.’
Pritzker urged the “federal government to step up:”
‘I can’t emphasize enough how much we need the federal government to step up and amplify the size of their (personal protective equipment) deliveries to Illinois and, frankly, across the nation.’
America’s 45th president has been dueling with Democratic governors. While he provides Republican governors what they want, those in the Democratic Party are not as lucky. Trump has withheld vital health care needs, even going so far as to cancel their orders.
Governors of the Democratic persuasion have been trying to comply with POTUS’ request for public compliments while facing their ever more dire coronavirus cases. This handicaps them, as they strive to move around Trump’s IED’s of federal government mishandling the testing and protective equipment distribution.
Last week, POTUS accused New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of hoarding the ventilators. He apparently did not grasp the concept of gearing up to prepare for war against the invisible enemy.
When it came to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the president noted he had a “big problem” with the “young” “woman governor.” He insulted her, saying she was “way in over her head.” He added that she “doesn’t have a clue” when she requested medical equipment from his administration.
Pritzker said he had received three shipments of personal protective equipment from the federal government:
‘[He said he had asked for] 1.2 million N95 maska, 900,000 surgical masks, 1.6 million gloves, 24,000 gowns, 24,000 goggles, 120,000 face shields and 4,000 respirators.’
Unfortunately, the Illinois governor had only obtained “a fraction” of that number from his first and second requests. Pritzker urged the president to implement the Defense Production Act. This means corporate America must retool to produce more medical equipment and supplies. Thus far, Trump has only requested General Motors to make more ventilators as the number of ill patients increases.

bipartisanreport--2020-03-31--Trump Rage-Tweets After Pelosi’s AM TV Appearance

President Donald Trump has stuck to his relentless egomania even amidst the Coronavirus crisis .
This Tuesday morning , following an appearance by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) on MSNBC , Trump rushed to Twitter to mock both the show itself and Pelosi .
He suggested that Pelosi is indefinitely planning “ moves… to further hurt our country , ” even though she ’ s the one who helped get the recent huge Coronavirus relief funding package passed in Congress .
The day after more than 500 Americans died in a single day from the Coronavirus , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
‘ I watched a portion of low rated ( very ) Morning Psycho ( Joe ) this Morning in order to see what Nancy Pelosi had to say , & what moves she was planning to further hurt our Country .
Actually , other than her usual complaining that I ’ m a terrible person , she wasn ’ t bad .
Still praying !
’ He has seemingly completely dehumanized his opponents in the name of political expedience .
In his estimation , Pelosi isn ’ t a leader working to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she ’ s someone who goes on a “ Psycho ” show to plot ways to hurt the United States .
He didn ’ t even bother attempting to engage with the substance of what the House Speaker had to say , which included a broad call for more support for those working against the Coronavirus .
‘ We are asking people to risk their lives to save other lives .
We are asking people to make a judgement of who gets a ventilator or not .
This *should not* be happening .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ be produced immediately.
’ That ’ s a direct call-out to the president .
Concerned observers have repeatedly urged Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act to order companies to produce the necessary medical equipment .
After endless rounds of waffling , Trump apparently issued such an order to General Motors , but huge supply gaps still remain .
This past weekend , Trump even ludicrously and completely baselessly suggested that medical personnel were “ hoarding ” supplies in an attempt to… what ?
Make him look bad ?

President Donald Trump has stuck to his relentless egomania even amidst the Coronavirus crisis. This Tuesday morning, following an appearance by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on MSNBC, Trump rushed to Twitter to mock both the show itself and Pelosi. He suggested that Pelosi is indefinitely planning “moves… to further hurt our country,” even though she’s the one who helped get the recent huge Coronavirus relief funding package passed in Congress. The day after more than 500 Americans died in a single day from the Coronavirus, Trump is sticking to his nonsense political attacks.
He angrily tweeted:

He has seemingly completely dehumanized his opponents in the name of political expedience. In his estimation, Pelosi isn’t a leader working to advance the priorities of her constituents — she’s someone who goes on a “Psycho” show to plot ways to hurt the United States. He didn’t even bother attempting to engage with the substance of what the House Speaker had to say, which included a broad call for more support for those working against the Coronavirus.
More than 500 Americans died from coronavirus on Monday — the most of any day yet. Trump is praying for Nancy Pelosi to praise him more. https://t.co/TquhPfp32c — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 31, 2020
As Pelosi summarized:
‘We are asking people to risk their lives to save other lives. We are asking people to make a judgement of who gets a ventilator or not. This *should not* be happening. Proper testing is needed. Equipment must be produced immediately.’

That’s a direct call-out to the president. Concerned observers have repeatedly urged Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act to order companies to produce the necessary medical equipment.

This past weekend, Trump even ludicrously and completely baselessly suggested that medical personnel were “hoarding” supplies in an attempt to… what? Make him look bad?

”

At a campaign rally in South Carolina at the end of February, President Donald Trump proclaimed that concern over the Coronavirus was a hoax. (It wasn’t.) On numerous other occasions throughout those early weeks of the virus’s spread in the U.S., Trump dished out claims like that the virus would disappear “like a miracle” from the U.S., which has not proven true — at all. Stunningly, even after these dismissals, which included the president even suggesting that the Coronavirus was on par with the common flu, Vice President Mike Pence lied this week on CNN that Trump has always taken the Coronavirus seriously.
He definitely has not! We can all see the tapes. And it’s not just a matter of rhetoric — if Trump had been better prepared prior to the onslaught of the worst of the crisis, authorities could have been better equipped to stem the increasing tide of Coronavirus cases and deaths in the U.S.
None of that stopped Pence. He proclaimed to CNN host Wolf Blitzer:
‘I don’t believe that the president has ever belittled the threat of this virus… I think he’s expressed gratitude and confidence to health care workers in this country, and the American people can be assured that President Trump is going to continue to be confident that we will meet this moment.’
Americans don’t need Pence to stand on the national stage and lavish praise on Trump like he’s some messiah who’s come to save the world. Over 4,600 Americans have died from the Coronavirus, and we’re supposed to trust this pompous shill to lead the federal government’s Coronavirus response? Seriously?
Amidst his rant, Blitzer tried to get a word in, and once the Vice President had attempted to move on, the host did. He noted that Trump “was saying at one point it wasn’t as bad as the regular flu,” which is, of course, flatly incorrect on the president’s part. Pence responded by insisting that Trump is “a leader who knows that we will get through this.”

The trades had been previously known, but the specific amounts came out in a new set of financial disclosures from the Senator. After these trades first emerged, Loeffler faced accusations of insider trading, because they largely followed private briefings for Senators about the then-incoming Coronavirus pandemic. North Carolina’s Republican Senator Richard Burr faced similar scrutiny after selling off large stock holdings in companies working in fields like travel, which has been hard hit by the pandemic — and reportedly, the Justice Department has already opened an investigation and contacted Burr.

Loeffler claims that she’s innocent of insider trading because she doesn’t handle her stock portfolio directly, she claims, although it’s still apparently unclear whether there was a chance for private information that she had to get to those who could help protect her finances, even while her colleagues publicly insisted that the U.S. had nothing to be worried about amidst the Coronavirus onslaught.
Even now, Loeffler’s team is sticking to rabid partisan animosity. Campaign spokesperson Stephen Lawson claimed:
‘These false attacks against Senator Loeffler — from the Left, from fake news media, from career politicians — are exactly why people are fed up with Washington.’
Hilariously enough, Loeffler’s Senate office spokesperson Kelly Rom claimed that her boss “continues to operate with integrity and transparency — following both the spirit and the letter of the law.”
Actually, concerned Americans would simply like their leaders to represent the public’s interest during a time of national crisis.


bipartisanreport--2020-04-01--Pelosi Appears On Wednesday TV To Emasculate Trump & McConnell

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) is sick of Republican fumbling amidst the Coronavirus pandemic .
Following both President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) insisting that the Democrat-led impeachment proceedings distracted the federal government from the Coronavirus threat in the early weeks and months of the year , she suggested this week on CNN that Trump and McConnell simply aren ’ t capable of actually handling the Coronavirus crisis with serious and effective gravity .
It ’ s important to note — despite GOP claims of Democratic distractions , Trump called the Coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impeachment was completely over .
‘ I think that ’ s an admission that perhaps the president and the majority leader can not handle the job .
We have a life-and-death situation in our country , and they should not try to hide behind an excuse for why they did not take action .
But it does admit that they did not take action… Right now , we have to work together to get the job done , and all of these statistics that we are hearing… all of that loss of life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see the big numbers , though , we have to see what we can do to stop the growth of that number of people dying.
’ At a press conference this week , the White House Coronavirus response team revealed a model that projected that as many as 100,000 or more Americans could die from the Coronavirus before the crisis is concluded .
Over 4,500 Americans have already lost their lives from the virus , and that number is quickly growing .
In commentary offered over the weekend , Pelosi called the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While proclaiming virus concern to be a “ hoax ” publicly , privately he did little to nothing to help shore up U.S. defenses against the virus as the crisis grew , and now , the full weight of the pandemic is here and resources are still struggling to get up to par .
Coronavirus testing shortages continue in some areas , for instance .
Trump spent weeks meandering around before even declared a national emergency reportedly because he was concerned about the effect that declaration would have on the public image of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issues , Pelosi has already been discussing a new Coronavirus relief funding package , which would be the fourth such bill .
Priorities for that bill appear to include support for U.S. infrastructure and support for provisions like expanded vote-by-mail , which would help mitigate the spread of the virus via keeping people away from mingling at polling places .
This week on CNN , Pelosi also advocated for Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act much more broadly than he ’ s done so far .
The act provides the president with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the medical supplies that authorities have been seeking around the country .

It’s important to note — despite GOP claims of Democratic distractions, Trump called the Coronavirus concern a “hoax” weeks after impeachment was completely over.
Asked about the GOP excuses, Pelosi insisted:
‘I think that’s an admission that perhaps the president and the majority leader cannot handle the job. We have a life-and-death situation in our country, and they should not try to hide behind an excuse for why they did not take action. But it does admit that they did not take action… Right now, we have to work together to get the job done, and all of these statistics that we are hearing… all of that loss of life is tragic for our country. To see the big numbers, though, we have to see what we can do to stop the growth of that number of people dying.’
Watch below:
At a press conference this week, the White House Coronavirus response team revealed a model that projected that as many as 100,000 or more Americans could die from the Coronavirus before the crisis is concluded. Over 4,500 Americans have already lost their lives from the virus, and that number is quickly growing.
In commentary offered over the weekend, Pelosi called the president’s own behavior “deadly.” While proclaiming virus concern to be a “hoax” publicly, privately he did little to nothing to help shore up U.S. defenses against the virus as the crisis grew, and now, the full weight of the pandemic is here and resources are still struggling to get up to par. Coronavirus testing shortages continue in some areas, for instance. Trump spent weeks meandering around before even declared a national emergency reportedly because he was concerned about the effect that declaration would have on the public image of his administration.
To help mitigate these issues, Pelosi has already been discussing a new Coronavirus relief funding package, which would be the fourth such bill. Priorities for that bill appear to include support for U.S. infrastructure and support for provisions like expanded vote-by-mail, which would help mitigate the spread of the virus via keeping people away from mingling at polling places.
This week on CNN, Pelosi also advocated for Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act much more broadly than he’s done so far. The act provides the president with the power to order the production of the medical supplies that authorities have been seeking around the country. Trump, in contrast, has ludicrously suggested that medical personnel might be hoarding supplies and supposedly may not even need what they’re after, even as the cases and hospitalizations continue to grow at a dramatic rate across the country.

They appear to be running uphill against common sense when it comes to the coronavirus .

After Mayor Brian Bagley went after his governor for his stay-at-home policy , he had to avoid the poison darts from members of his city council .

Bagley said according to Channel 7 : The virtual meeting was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and questions .

He said : ‘ Screw the fact that I ’ m mayor , screw the fact that I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economics .
… I ’ m telling you , we are not going to have a recession , we are not going to have a depression .

After Mayor Brian Bagley went after his governor for his stay-at-home policy, he had to avoid the poison darts from members of his city council. The mayor also had to face his city’s local business owners during a virtual City Council meeting. Bagley said according to Channel 7:
‘I want somebody to come over and spit in my mouth so I can go to the hospital now cause I’m not going to die.’
The virtual meeting was arranged to explain away local coronavirus fears and questions. Boulder County Public Health Executive Director Jeff Zayach called into the City Council meeting to assist the mayor.
Two local business owners noted that the video of the meeting was making its way around the city. Julie Benoit and Luc Nadeau said the mayor’s strange request left them stunned. Nadeau said he thought the mayor was sending out wrong-headed advice to young people. He believed the mayor was encouraging their sense of invincibility, that they will not catch the virus, go to the hospital, or die.
Benoit added:
‘I just felt that it was a disregard for an elderly neighbor, a grandparent, a compromised child or adult.’
On Monday, Mayor Bagley defended himself:
‘First of all, I was speaking with emotion and sarcasm, obviously I don’t want someone to come over and spit in my mouth. What I meant was there is rooms in the hospital. I would rather get sick now than later.’
He added:
‘I don’t think that sarcasm is an excuse for irresponsible language.’
At this time over 2,300 individuals in Colorado have been given the test for CONVID-19, and of that population, 47 have died. Health care experts anticipate that the virus will run rampant in Denver, and they need to need to prepare their hospitals for the virus’ dramatic spike.
Like Donald Trump, Bagley appears more interested in the economic impact of the stay-at-home rule than his citicens. He said:
‘Screw the fact that I’m mayor, screw the fact that I’m on city council. My background is economics. … I’m telling you, we are not going to have a recession, we are not going to have a depression. We are facing the worse economic disaster in the history of the world, and if no one is left after with jobs, we are going to face health consequences much more than a disease that’s going to kill .05 of one percent of us.’
In response to the mayor’s comment, Denver7 questioned whether this mayor was more interested in money than Longmont’s economy’s head resource: its people:
‘I am not picking the economy over this virus, but I do want to say, people die all the time, so right now, for example, without data, basically the political leader has suspended the constitutional right to assemble.’
Nadeau and Benoit questioned the mayor’s leadership skills during a time when the community is confronted with uncertainty:
‘We are all scared of the economy, and I think that we are all in this together, but I also I think that humanity and the wellness of our community is way more important than the amount of dollars that are coming in.’
Bagley said that he would follow the mandates even though he does not agree with them. He said politicians’ and physicians’ beliefs were currently unsubstantiated:
‘What will the end look like? I don’t want to go a day to day as we destroy our economy, suffer the long-term health consequences and ultimately give up our mental health and other freedoms that we enjoy every day.’
Nadeau said he hopes the mayor listens to the experts:
‘We want him to follow that advice. We want him to provide a calm and measured leadership that brings us all together.’
She told Channel 7 that it was the council’s job to serve as a credible resource, speaking in one voice:
‘Everybody in this country is frustrated and worried, but we are grown-ups, and we need to listen to the doctor, nurses, and scientists and not politicians.’
One member of the Longmont City Council Polly Christensen just shook her head. Then, she said:
‘Mankind has survived many pandemics, and we will survive this by all following the advice of social distancing and more careful personal hygiene. Those two things we can control. “We can not spend all of our time being afraid of things we cannot control.’
The City Council member indicated that she did not agree with Bagely’s comments:
‘When this is over, we will be stronger, maybe we will have learned something, but it’s really dangerous and irresponsible to go out and advocate not limiting our social interactions and staying at home.’

bipartisanreport--2020-04-01--Melania Attempts Coronavirus ‘Condolences’ Message But Fails Miserably

This Wednesday , First Lady Melania Trump posted a message on Twitter of condolences to those who have lost loved ones amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic — but it was not exactly received well by all who saw it .
Amidst the crisis , “ thoughts and prayers ” are needed a whole lot less than the crucial , lifesaving supplies that authorities around the country have been after .
These supplies include ventilators , personal protective equipment like masks , and more — which Melania ’ s husband , the president , completely baselessly suggested medical personnel were hoarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s message , it ’ s worth noting , even included an apparent typo .
( She wrote “ love ones ” instead of “ loved ones.
” ) After weeks of glib dismissal of the Coronavirus ’ s significance followed by weeks more of the president lashing out opponents left and right while Coronavirus cases and deaths grew and grew , this misspelled Twitter message is what we get .
‘ Sincere condolences to the families who have lost love ones to # COVID19 , and to anyone who is sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prayers to get better soon.
’ Her message , it ’ s worth noting , came the day after President Trump adopted what some observers initially called an especially somber tone at a White House press conference .
At that press conference , he and public health officials including Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed projections from the University of Washington that the U.S. could suffer 100,000 or more deaths before the Coronavirus crisis winds down , which , to put the figure in perspective , is higher than an estimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vietnam War .

This Wednesday, First Lady Melania Trump posted a message on Twitter of condolences to those who have lost loved ones amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic — but it was not exactly received well by all who saw it. Amidst the crisis, “thoughts and prayers” are needed a whole lot less than the crucial, lifesaving supplies that authorities around the country have been after. These supplies include ventilators, personal protective equipment like masks, and more — which Melania’s husband, the president, completely baselessly suggested medical personnel were hoarding at a recent press conference.
Congratulations to the pundits who lauded Trump's "new and somber tone" 30 minutes ago when he was talking about the 100,000 dead Americans. Now, he's attacking Comey and McCabe (like old times) and criticizing Cuomo for asking for the medical supplies he needs to save lives. — Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) March 31, 2020
Melania’s message, it’s worth noting, even included an apparent typo. (She wrote “love ones” instead of “loved ones.”) After weeks of glib dismissal of the Coronavirus’s significance followed by weeks more of the president lashing out opponents left and right while Coronavirus cases and deaths grew and grew, this misspelled Twitter message is what we get.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's communications director responds to President Trump's comments: "This is not the time to debate but the states were not slow to respond — the federal government was absent." — David Gura 🏡 (@davidgura) April 1, 2020
Melania commented:
‘Sincere condolences to the families who have lost love ones to #COVID19, and to anyone who is sick, you are in our thoughts & prayers to get better soon.’
Sincere condolences to the families who have lost love ones to #COVID19, and to anyone who is sick, you are in our thoughts & prayers to get better soon. — Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) April 1, 2020
Her message, it’s worth noting, came the day after President Trump adopted what some observers initially called an especially somber tone at a White House press conference. At that press conference, he and public health officials including Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed projections from the University of Washington that the U.S. could suffer 100,000 or more deaths before the Coronavirus crisis winds down, which, to put the figure in perspective, is higher than an estimate of total American deaths during the entire Vietnam War.

bipartisanreport--2020-04-01--Hillary Shames Trump Over Corona Failure During Wednesday Twitter Trolling

Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic , which has claimed the lives of over 4,000 Americans and counting , the Trump administration has been struggling to appropriately and effectively lead crucial supply distribution across the country .
States have been left bidding against each other for supplies like ventilators in the private market .
In the wake of a CNN report that emerged this week indicating that the Defense Department had offered some 2,000 ventilators that had not yet been utilized by the Department of Health and Human Services , Hillary Clinton publicly called out the Trump administration — again — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Defense Department ’ s top logistics official Lt. General Giovanni Tuck told CNN : ‘ We were asked to just wait while there was just some sorting through on that .
And I won ’ t speak on behalf of them , but we were in a position to provide 2,000… we haven ’ t provided any , because as of last night , we were asked to just hold on the ones that we have , and then we will push them when they ’ re ready for them.
’ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , are apparently mostly of a special type that ’ s made for deployment with military units .
As such , they need apparent special training prior to their effective usage — but there are clearly plenty of officials who could provide that training , just like they could provide a bulk-up of testing capabilities .
Tests have been sometimes difficult to come by around the country as the Coronavirus crisis has raged , and as for ventilators , the University of Washington estimates that over 30,000 ventilators will be needed across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Coronavirus cases peak .
In some individual states , projected need vastly overshadows actual capacity .
In Michigan , for example , there ’ s a projection for a shortage of over 5,000 hospital beds on the peak date of infection with current capacity in place .

Now, why would they react that way? After all, leaving infected sailors among the aircraft carrier’s cramped quarters could easily infect the rest of the men and handicap U.S. military readiness. As news of this incomprehensible move played in the background, the House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) responded.
