Why the Trump administration ordered hospitals to bypass the C.D.C. when reporting COVID-19 information

Just in case you were wondering why the Trump administration ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all COVID-19 patient information to a central database in Washington, it was so the they can manipulate the numbers.

They want to deceive us into believing that the United States has the “Lowest Mortality Rate” from COVID-19.

Do not believe his lies; we have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world!

Trump listened to “the experts” when deciding how to respond to COVID-19 — but only the experts who told him what he wanted to hear.

Today, the White House sent out an email claiming “President Trump listened to the experts—not the media” today. Evidence suggests that he listened to a single expert who told him exactly what he wanted to hear, that COVID-19 was a non-issue. Specifically he listened to Richard A. Epstein who wrote the paper “Coronavirus Perspective.”

In the first version of this document he claimed that there would be 500 deaths due to COVID-19. A few days later he revised the document saying that he made a mistake and there would be 5,000 deaths. He later revised it again by saying there would be 50,000 deaths.

As of today there have been 80,820 deaths in the United States according to the CDC.


All hail Donald Trump; a.k.a. Donald Drumpf, a.k.a. Lord Dampnut, a.k.a. Dumbnut, a.k.a. Donnie Trumpelstiltskin, a.k.a. Donald tRUMP; our most, or perhaps least, honored (not my) POTUS and our great Bloviator in Chief!

More on the incompetence of the Trump administration’s response to COVID-19.

Reminder.

In February Donald Trump made the following comments about COVID-19.

  • “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” (Feb. 10)
  • “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” (Feb. 24)
  • “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” (Feb. 27)

At this time the Trump administration and various Republicans were relying on an article titled “Coronavirus Perspective” by Richard A. Epstein. In the first version of this document he claimed that there would be 500 deaths due to COVID-19. A few days later he revised the document saying that he made a mistake and there would be 5,000 deaths. He later revised it again by saying there would be 50,000 deaths.

As of today, there have been 67,456 deaths due to COVID-19 in the United States.

The incompetence of the Trump administration is the gift that keeps on giving.

Ignorance and Incompetence:

White House insists US has ‘sufficient’ testing capacity to reopen amid widespread criticism
Mike Pence says US has enough tests for ‘phase one’ of process but taskforce experts acknowledge uncertainty

The Truth:


All hail Donald Trump; a.k.a. Donald Drumpf, a.k.a. Lord Dampnut, a.k.a. Dumbnut, a.k.a. Donnie Trumpelstiltskin, a.k.a. Donald tRUMP; our most, or perhaps least, honored (not my) POTUS and our great Bloviator in Chief!

Is the Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) contained in the United States?

Meme showing a dog sitting at a table. The room is on fire. The dog says 'This is fine'.
This is fine.

On March 6, 2020, President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, claimed that the coronavirus “is contained” in the United States. There were only 75 confirmed cases in the United States at that time.

Today there are 1,629 confirmed cases.

Now that is what I call contained! The Trump administration is obviously doing an excellent job. We should be grateful that we have such a diligent and hard working POTUS!
