Here's a thread documenting the epic incompetence of the Trump administration + the GOP in dealing with the pandemic. Some Democratic politicos deserve severe critiques also (Cuomo and DeBlasio being the poster children there) but a national problem requires a national response.
EXCLUSIVE: White House national security officials prepared a \u201cpandemic playbook\u201d \u2014 a step-by-step guide to ensure testing, check on workers\u2019 equipment, even consider the Defense Production Act.

When the next pandemic occurs (and make no mistake, it will) and the federal government is unable to respond in a coordinated and effective fashion to protect the lives of US citizens and others, this decision by John Bolton and Donald Trump will be why. https://t.co/iMSzopSRaI

Just a reminder, the first confirmed Cornavirus case in the U.S. was on January 20th.

That's 8 weeks the Trump administration could have spent preparing tests, quarantine plans, respirators for hospitals, and stimulus packages... but chose not to.
.@WhiteHouse repeatedly blocked efforts to legally require masks on airplanes, airports and other transit modes -- and rejected a CDC draft proposal -- even after extensive administration discussions https://t.co/MUuRqJcipu

Day 1 of the Trump administration set the tone for what came next.

Health experts were ignored. Scientists who disagreed with Trump were later pushed out.
As a result\u2014 when COVID arrived, the health agencies were already limping to meet it.https://t.co/Fhxwe3xVAR new, from me

So, I think @Yascha_Mounk article in @TheAtlantic is some ways a needed cry for help, of despair, but it starts to 'both sides' responsibility for the #COVID19 epidemic in the US, which I think is unfortunate and unhelpful. 1/ https://t.co/OTR0UuBT7t

More from Trump
It’s not clear how Dr. Sean Conley has determined Trump will no longer need to isolate only 10 days after symptom onset.
Looks like the CDC Guidelines say Trump should be in the category that needs to isolate for 20 days after symptom onset.👇
Plus ...
2. Fauci on Thursday used a (test-based) approach, in which case, per Fauci:
Trump needs to isolate for 10 days after symptoms RESOLVE (not symptoms onset) and then two negative tests.
Note: based on his coughing on Hannity last night, Trump’s symptoms haven’t resolved yet.
3. Here’s a longer quote from Fauci (via @MarionRenault):
https://t.co/oRdrtxQe80
4. Also noteworthy: on Hannity last night, Trump wouldn’t say he’s tested negative.👇
Thus failing one of the conditions required by Fauci for Trump to be considered no longer contagious.
5/5. This resource on coronavirus (UpToDate) has been specially made available to the public. It describes the test-based and non-test-based approaches.

Severe COVID Pneumonia defined as low oxygen sats <94 % as confirmed by the President\u2019s chief of staff, in addition to other clinically consistent information: shortness of breath to name one.

That buys 20 days of isolation. At 74 with co-morbidities, \u2066@CDCgov\u2069 is right pic.twitter.com/fR3jc9jYQI

Dr. Fauci: "If the President goes 10 days w/o symptoms & they do the tests-then you could make the assumption, based on good science, that he is not infected. But you have to make sure you go through those particular benchmarks delineated in the CDC guidelines." #AMRstaff

Mark the date, we have reached the point where even Sean Hannity is asking Trump simple questions that the president can\u2019t or won\u2019t answer https://t.co/HgMpIsOCJn

President Trump has been preparing the public for more than a year now for a major tectonic shift as what the CCP has been doing to us through our own political class is fully exposed.
Including election fraud.

@WestJournalism DemoKKKrats just LOVED the BLM/Antifa rioters when they descended upon DC! Nancy Pelosi even Tweeted:
https://t.co/MbXFf5Xc4u
I would like to see Democrats produce even one shred of evidence or just one example of President Trump calling for insurrection. Just one. That's all.

We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.

Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, was born in Manhattan and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. His pulp-fiction heroes have come to define much of popular culture in the early 21st century.
Tying Marvel’s stable of pulp-fiction heroes to a real place — New York — served a counterbalance to the sometimes gravity-challenged action and the improbability of the stories. That was just what Stan Lee wanted. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i

The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.
