Trump's Gives Inspirational Speech To The Workers Of Honeywell

Prior to leaving for a trip to Arizona, President Trump says the model that now doubles the projected deaths in the US is based on no mitigation.

Meanwhile, HHS Secretary Alex Azar called the leaked FEMA memo a draft and one of hundreds of models.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not return to work in Washington but she is criticizing the Trump administration for not appearing before her investigation committees.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has apparently been promoted to the head of foreign intelligence. The Doctor told National Geographic that the coronavirus was not concocted in a lab, but evolved naturally.  He said politicians saying otherwise are in a “circular argument.” This disputes what President Trump said during a recent press conference.

It also disputes what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said this past Sunday on ABC’s This Week.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice announced today that West Virginians no longer need to stay at home and can open all businesses. However, the Governor was very blunt, saying the state would only remain open under one condition.

America might be down but it is a long way from being out. In a new poll from Rasmussen most Americans believe the country will be great again.

Just 21% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statement that “we’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.”

In Venezuela, 2 American citizens were arrested in a failed plot to invade the country and oust Nicolas Maduro. A Florida based former Green Beret, Jordan Goudreau has claimed responsibility for the operation, which Venezuelan authorities say they foiled. Goudreau said the men were part of an alleged mission called "Operation Gideon" launched before dawn on Sunday that entailed landing boats on the beach. In a state television address, Maduro showed what he said were the passports and other identification cards of what he claimed were two Americans described as employees of Silvercorp, a Florida-based company.

To coin and old phrase from the 80’s, “Where’s the Beef?”

Meat consumers might be faced with some difficult choices in the weeks ahead as Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the United States signals that coronavirus is negatively impacting the supply of beef and pork.

Costco has also indicated that they will be limiting purchases of meat to three per customer.

In Washington, a number of Republicans in the Senate are starting to raise concerns about the massive amount of money the U.S. has spent combatting coronavirus.

The federal government has appropriated nearly $3 trillion in roughly six weeks for coronavirus relief.

Right on cue, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pressed ahead today announcing her plan for a sweeping $800 billion-plus package that she says will be unveiled soon.

Finally something to watch other than 20 year old baseball games.

On Tuesday morning, ESPN aired its first Korean Baseball game after reaching an agreement with the league. One game will air on the ESPN family of networks each day, Tuesday through Sunday. ESPN announced that the games will primarily air “on ESPN2 and on the ESPN App.” The broadcasts are in English, with ESPN commentators calling the games remotely from their homes.

Gilead Sciences antiviral drug remdesivir has shown promise in treating patients suffering from COVID-19, and the company’s chief executive says it will be in the hands of doctors and patients as early as this week.

Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, CEO Daniel O’Day said Gilead donated 1.5 million vials to the U.S. government - enough to treat 150,000 to 200,000 patients.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week granted authorization for the emergency use of remdesivir to treat patients with severe COVID-19, following preliminary results from a study which found that patients given remdesivir recovered 31% faster than those given a placebo.

President Trump: Flynn will 'come back bigger and better'

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reacted to China’s foreign ministry claiming that America is "lying through their teeth" about the coronavirus pandemic, calling it “classic communist disinformation.”

Pompeo made the comment on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday referring to the statement from China foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.

“We advise American politicians to reflect on their own problems and try their best to control the [coronavirus] epidemic as soon as possible instead of continuing to play tricks to deflect blame,” Shuang said on Tuesday.

“They [Chinese officials] know that this happened in their country,” Pompeo said. “This is classic communist disinformation. This is what communists do.”

As her old pal Rahm Emanuel would say, never let a crisis go to waste. 

Trump to Yahoo Reporter today, "Are you going to apologize, Yahoo? That's why you're Yahoo and nobody knows who the hell you are...including me."

Then says New Yorkers are Loving and they Love one another. Based on his past, Cuomo would prefer the homeless population take up residence in Nursing Homes. 

Monday during an interview with CBS4 Miami, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said the United States cannot engage in “economic intercourse” unless the Chinese coronavirus pandemic is defeated worldwide.

JIM DEFEDE: If you’re elected president, will you restore funding to the World Health Organization?

JOE BIDEN: Yes, I will. But I will also insist that we do what we were doing before. We set up a pandemic office in the White House, President Obama. We had CDC, the folks for Centers of Disease Control stationed in other countries to anticipate when we might see a virus coming, a pandemic coming,  because there’s going to be more of these. I would be much more engaged in the world. We can’t step back. If, in fact, for example, we solve the problem in the United States of America and you don’t solve it in other parts of the world, you know what’s going to happen. You’re going to have travel bans, you’re going to not be able to do, have economic intercourse around the world.

Drs. Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi, co-owners of a chain of Accelerated Urgent Care facilities, say that after conducting more than 5,000 coronavirus tests they have come to the conclusion that COVID-19 is no more dangerous than a normal seasonal flu and quarantines are not making any difference in preventing its spread.
