Guess who’s got it along with eight or more other people in the White House and campaign
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said last Sunday that the US is "not going to control" the coronavirus pandemic, as cases surge across the country and nearly 225,000 Americans have died from the virus.
"We are not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas," Meadows told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

The World Health Organization (WHO) in Europe on Thursday said it was seeing an "explosion" of coronavirus cases in the region and warned of a "tough time" ahead as mortality rates rose.

we should send biden immediately, he has a plan....then send him to that non-mask wearing conservative republican state of illinios....they are shattering records 
seems like we have more cases now...than we did in the spring when we were advised NOT to wear masks...could be wrong...just an observation
in RI we are currently double our daily cases compared to spring #'s with mask wearing....our mask mandate began in RI May 8th which was on the downside of the peak and when people were still resisting wearing masks...probably just the result of more testing right?
I still wear my mask when I'm out but I think the ridiculous overemphasis on masks(it makes you a good person virtue signaling) has led people to believe simply wearing a mask gives them immunity which clearly is not the case...
and...disposable masks and rubber gloves are the new cigarette butts

Don’t worry, the suburbs turn is coming
At a clinic in Corona, a working-class neighborhood in Queens, more than 68 percent of people tested positive for antibodies to the new coronavirus. At another clinic in Jackson Heights, Queens, that number was 56 percent. But at a clinic in Cobble Hill, a mostly white and wealthy neighborhood in Brooklyn, only 13 percent of people tested positive for antibodies.

Anti-bodies is the goal. That's what vaccines provide. It's called herd immunity. |

Hey I thought this virus was going away after the election, what happened to the conspiracy theory that this was a democratic hoax and death and infection rates were fabricated to hurt Trump.

Apparently it has, at least at CNN. Sounds like they’ve suddenly removed their corona stats tracker as soon as Biden decided he won....

Pfizer head of vaccine development Dr. Kathrin Jansen told the NY Times: “We were never part of the Warp Speed ... We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.”
To make something clear here about Pfizer and Warp Speed: Pfizer had already sunk its own money into developing the vaccine before getting the July HHS contract. HHS simply bought up a quantity of production.
And from the Covid spreading administration that gets the good drugs:
Secretary Ben Carson attended the election night party at the White House and tested positive for COVID-19 this morning. His deputy chief of staff says he's "in good spirits & feels fortunate to have access to effective therapeutics which aid and markedly speed his recovery."

This does nothing but sow distrust in the vaccine, meaning fewer Republicans will take it and more will die. All because the president's feelings are hurt. |

I have been on calls all day w/ another at 1p.... 
Is he taking credit for it even though Pfizer specifically did not opt into 'Operation Warp Speed'
I hope it comes through, a long way to go for final testing and approval. Likely Q3 of next year before it is widely available. Hopefully sooner.... |

CNBC
Pfizer announced on July 22 that the U.S. agreed to buy 100 million doses of its vaccine for up to $1.95 billion. The agreement, part of the Trump administration’s vaccine program Operation Warp Speed, allows the U.S. to acquire an additional 500 million vaccine doses. Bourla said Monday the company is on track to produce up to 50 million vaccine doses in 2020, and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021.

has anyone ever said guy can’t get covid from going out to crowded places? no. so you’re responding to something that no one ever said.
what conservatives tend to say, is that it might be worth the risk
of covid to keep living our lives. that argument can be made.
if the liberal ideology guarantees better results, please explain why the numbers are obviously the worst in predominantly liberal
states?
