COVID-19 Megathread 4: Grandma Got Run Over by the Dow Jones

[President Johnson]

Boy, it's a good thing we elected someone to Run Government Like A Business™

If the government was a business, it would be bankrupt. Donald Trump is an expert on this, see Trump Casinos, Trump Airline, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Entertainment Resports etc...

Truly, Mr. Trump and his Republicans have made America First!

Just a little help to interpret this graph: It is on a semi-logarithmic scale, i e a linear slope means exponentional growth. Thus a linear slope suggests ineffective measurements and a continueing spreading of COVID-19. The earlier a plateau is reached, the better the response.

The big question is what happens once a return to normalcy arrives. Flatten the curve also means less people actually get immune. And currently the only way to get immunity is through getting the virus.

Wow, look at the tracker today. Nearly every state seeing decreases in new cases compared to yesterday. Looks like the tide has turned more quickly than anyone expected and Trump has saved the country from disaster, expect a big approval bump.

One day is hardly a trend here. The same happened weeks ago in Germany and I actually thought it might be a gamechanger, and the rise hasn't stopped yet despite contact ban. To see trend emerging, this needs to be the case over at least a week. It can also be assumed the increase drops on weekends because less people go to work.

Trump grifting further now, disgusting.

And Repiblicans on Capitol Hill are doing.... nothing.

Or did I forget Little Marco moving from "concerned" to "alarmed"?

[President Johnson]

Paging #TSA -- I've officially lost my sense of smell. 

Too bad. Hope you get better very soon.

I've read reports that smell disappears pratically immediately, but don't know whether it's true across the board.

I love how Andrew Cuomo is educating the clown in chief about the constitution and lockdown, starting at about 7:20

[President Johnson]

Donald Trump's WHO criticism for being too friendly with China (which is actually true) is totally ridiculous, given what he tweeted earlier this year:

How stupid are Michigan Republicans?

LOLZ getting sick to own the libz!

Killing grandma to own the libs. Let that sink in.

Governor Cuomo mandating the wearing of masks in public (where social distancing is not possible):

Didn't the WHO say not to wear masks? Or does that matter now that Trump cut its funding?

WHO said that masks do not protect yourself from getting infected. However, masks can prevent you from infecting other people. The major issue is getting enough masks.

Protesters in Michigan have Trump flags and Confederate flags. Suffice to say, this protest is really NOT about Whitmer, is it.

Confederate Flags <-- ? --> Michigan

Their God Emperor thinks George Washington conquered airports in the Indepedence war and Andrew Jackson was upset about the Civil War. What do you expect?
