Dan,
Thank Christ there's an "Infectious Diseases Society of America." I hope it's working closely with the CDC and Dr Fauci, the saviour of the US. Meanwhile the Spectator-In-Chief can preen himself, and seek out possible insults from the media or relatives or the democrats, and make the odd off-the-cuff remarks about the pandemic, 'that maybe, who knows or cares, it will be getting worse before it gets better, I don't know. I'll leave it all up to someone else, that bastard Fauci, the governors, national guard, etc.' Louis XVI comes to mind. Un autre soc parfumee plein de merde. Okay. The second wave has started lifting: there are now more than a thousand deaths of Americans each day, or thirty thousand deaths each month (at that rate) - 180,000 by the end of August. If the daily numbers double in, say, the next couple of weeks, i.e. to two thousand deaths of Americans each day, or sixty thousand deaths each month, at what point does the health system get overwhelmed ? At what point do the cities and towns run out of ICUs and even hospital beds ? And more importantly, qualified staff ? When will they start trundling out the refrigerated trucks again ? Thanks, Lone Ranger ! Hi Ho Silver ! Joe Posted by loudmouth2, Thursday, 23 July 2020 10:06:03 AM

'For Trump, this crisis has only ever been a political problem to navigate with his typical bluster, arrogance and lies'
yep another virtue signalling leftist narrative. I mean those self serving democrats along with the lying left liberal media so love life. Just ask the millions of unborn. Maybe we could call in the NY democrat mayor and ask him how to handle nursing homes. By Sam's logic all democrats lover old people don't they. No wonder Trump wants to drain the swamp.

Runner,
So the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans by November 3, upon the altar of Trumpf's re-election, will all be worth it ? I wonder if an ex-President can be charged with offences, such as mass manslaughter, once he's been thrown out of office ? Or will he flee to Russia, as Jim Carrey suggests ? What a worthless turd. Roll on, November. Joe Posted by loudmouth2, Thursday, 23 July 2020 12:00:47 PM

NO AVAILABLE BEDS IN 50 FLORIDA HOSPITAL ICU UNITS
An excellent essay by Sam Ben-Meir. Florida's lack of lockdown "response" to the COVID threat may be AUSTRALIA'S GRIM FUTURE as COVID cases rise sharply in Victoria and NSW. In Florida COVID cases are filling ICU beds - leaving no available beds for the usual diseases and accident caseloads. _______________________________________ Voice of America News, 20th July 2020 reports http://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/no-available-beds-50-florida-hospital-icu-units "The coronavirus outbreak in Florida grew more dire [on 19th July 2020] as nearly 50 hospitals throughout the state say they have no available beds in their intensive care units [ICUs]. [Florida] is not only the COVID epicenter in the United States, it is one of the world’s hot spots, with more than 12,000 new cases reported Sunday – the fifth straight day that number exceeded 10,000.

OLO's ideologues can try and "shoot" the COVID medical messengers as much as they like.
Fact is that if Australia has (or has had) loose lockdown standards like some US states (eg. Florida) COVID cases will saturate Australian ICU bed capacity. There will be too few beds left for messenger shooting OLO ideologues - who need beds for COVID, flu, other diseases and car accidents, etc. Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 23 July 2020 12:16:41 PM

Yeah we know what brilliance comes from Joe/Nancy Joe. Death rates in US are actually quite low except in areas where democrats send covid into old people's homes. Oh well Joe, I am sure your hatred is bad for your blood pressure. Hopefully should you be wrong in November you won't go running around with a pussy hat like the last lot of tantrum throwers.

Yes, exactly! And as that occurs and it will, Trumps chances of re-election in November lessen further and further?
One wonders how many former republicans are going to man up and say what must be said. Do what must be done? While there's still an economy to rescue? And not with the short term, economic sugar hits that have kept parts of it going to date? Sell a few more soya beans to China? After all, there are always some folk that can be bought for allegorical peanuts, or forty pieces of also allegorical, silver? Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Thursday, 23 July 2020 2:49:30 PM

This is all another beat-up which the TDS crowd will, as usual, totally fall for.
The data isn't being re-routed to the Trump administration. It is being sent to the DHHS (Dept of Health and Human Services). The hospital data was always sent to DHHS. Its just that the hospitals were also required to send it in a different format to the CDC. This has been changed to relieve bureaucratic overload on the hospitals. The DHHS will then share the data with the CDC. The lies about the Trump administration just never end and the bozos who fall for them never learn. Posted by mhaze, Thursday, 23 July 2020 4:03:33 PM

Did Trump go to China & got himself infected with COVID-19 & spread it in the US !
Did Morrison do the same ? Posted by individual, Thursday, 23 July 2020 5:57:01 PM

The US has had some real losers as President, but as Sam said of Trump; "the most mendacious president in history." Who can argue with that. Yet on the Forum we have a small band of ideologues, diver dan, individual, runner and mhaze so far popping in on this question. They simply demonstrate a blind obedience to Trumpism regardless of the reality. I could never understand how the likes of Hitler and Stalin enjoyed such popular support from their own people, but seeing some on the Forum and their blind allegiance to Trump, I can now understand why.

Also, it is easy to understand why Hitler & Stalin had so much support with people like yourself to deal with ! Posted by individual, Friday, 24 July 2020 8:02:06 AM

Somebody send him a brochure for the gay mardi gras.
And I love this one:
Infectious Diseases Society of America.
Is that the building next door to the "society for rainbow flags and the beauty of homosexuality"?
That's the organisation where Obama does his volunteer hours for his welfare entitlements.
Well, in this world of parallel universes, thank god mine has a dirt floor and blue sky above.
