Just for the record, that 1% isn't 1% of the total population, it's 1% of those infected. If 1% of the population in China had died, that would be close to 14 million deaths. Instead it's reported to be about 3,300. That's a death rate for those who contract the disease (about 82,000) of about 4%. That's still very high.

I have no doubt that DrFauci has been disappeared from press conferences so the Trump can indulge his own ignorance and idiocy without fear of immediate contradiction from a medical expert. This is bad enough but I suspect Trump specifically intends to loosen the already poor and incomplete shelter in place rules. This will be a two fold disaster. It will not help the economy and it will even further accelerate the already rapid spread of coronavirus in the USA.

My deepest fear is that Trump will even further marginalize Dr Fauci’s role in fighting this epidemic. He can do it quietly so that it will be difficult to publicly challenge. My only hope is that the Republicans in Congress will convince Trump not to do it. And that Fauci and the medical community will be able to alert the public that this has happened.
Perhaps Trump can be convinced that every coronavirus death in the USA after Fauci is marginalized will be blamed on him by many.

Watching another of Gov. Cuomo's press conferences, I can't help wondering is it too late to nominate him for President -- in either party, or both?

No. The primaries are choosing delegates for the nominating convention, but if the candidates they are pledged to release them they can nominate anyone they like.
 
Well, the Trump Town Hall on Fox was supposed to begin 45 minutes ago at 11am local. When I tuned in, they said he'd be on at 11:30. Now it's 11:45 and I see Pence answering questions from Dr. Oz.

No sign of the Prez yet.

But as long as he sticks to answers about how the government is handling the crisis, he's still in his purview. When he gets to talking about possible treatments, he's not.

No big loss. They are just a replacement for Trump rallies. Eventually he will start talking about his totally unfair impeachment, then Hillary's lost 30 000 emails. Then Comey. Rinse, repeat.

So take the amount of money they are sad about losing, divide it by 3 million and oh dear god we've done it.

We just found the formula for calculating the value of a human life.

Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!
 
Translation: The occupant of the White House is willing to let you die because money is more important to him.
 
How the **** do you practice social distancing as a server? A Bartender? A massage therapist? A grocery store clerk? This guy is a ******* moron.

Who is this "our people"? I suspect he means all the people who perpetually suck up to him, and also those who protect his Russian bank Mastercard.

Oh, it's been much longer than that. Trump is just the end result of the modern Republican party, but it's been anti-science for a couple of decades at least. And 90% of what Trump has actually done -- tax cuts for the rich, right wing judges -- would have been the same with any other Republican President.
