Trump extended the federal government’s social-distancing guidelines through the end of April.
Covid-19 patients ‘don’t have to worry’ about big medical bills, say health insurers.
President Trump at a White House briefing on Sunday praised two of the nation’s largest health insurers, Cigna and Humana, for agreeing to protect their customers from out-of-pocket costs if they need treatment for Covid-19.
Describing the insurers’ decision as “a big deal,” Mr. Trump said the companies don’t “waive co-pays too easily, but we asked them and they did it.”
How many died from the H1N1? Trump is giving himself credit if the total US coronvirus deaths are only 100,000 to 200,000!
Since I cannot watch or read about that POS, please tell me...has he moved from "15 and zero soon" to "If I keep it to 100 to 200K you should praise me"???
I wish everyone would finally agree today is different.
Around March 14 I know my little sister was skiing with her kids. She probably thought she was social distancing despite the fact they likely had to go into a ski lodge to buy lift tickets, rentals, and snack foods.
I still think my nephews and nieces don't give it a second thought to walk into my mothers home despite the fact there are now many thousands of cases in Michigan and they have been traveling and walking around like it was yesterday.
Why is it yesterday for so many of us was in early February?
well (assuming your mom is > 70 yrs old), the ? becomes are they taking the prescribed measures? And if not, where are the adults to make them do so?
These people are immune to facts and common sense. But nice effort.
If trump had common sense, he would have listened to this last September:
Quote:
A new independent report compiled at the request of the United Nations secretary-general warns that there is a “very real threat” of a pandemic sweeping the planet, killing up to 80 million people. A deadly pathogen, spread airborne around the world, the report says, could wipe out almost 5 percent of the global economy. And we’re not ready.
The ominous analysis was compiled by an independent panel, the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), which was assembled last year in response to a request from the office of the U.N. secretary-general, and convened jointly by the World Bank and World Health Organization (WHO). Co-chaired by the former WHO head and former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland and the head of the international Red Cross, Elhadj As Sy, the GPMB commissioned expert studies and issued a scathing attack on the political, financial, and logistical state of pandemic preparedness affairs.
Trump waited way too long to take it seriously. For that he will have to answer politically when this is all over. Since he began taking it seriously, I will give him props when props are deserved. Giving up this asinine Easter Sunday hocus pocus as he apparently has is a good move. Listening to Dr. Fauci is "tremendously" smart. Tweeting about his own ratings while people in America are dying of this virus makes him look like the grade A jerk that he is. I give him a C- minus so far, subject to go up or down from here on out
I seriously think anyone from either party would have done a better job. The GOP had a chance to get Pence in there now. Even with Pence's history, I would give him a B, maybe a B+, so far.
Joe and others,
There are some people on this forum who are not worth fighting with and not worth trying to explain things to. You will get to know who they are after awhile.
There were 20 cases and no dead when he announced a public emergency. If only Trump had handled this situation like that.
^^^^ This folks!! ^^^ This is the action of a real leader!
