She seemed happy to take the fawning and bootlicking as if she alone was responsible for the 0 cases when there were 0 cases here…but when it comes to things like this, she is nowhere to be seen. It’s up to any PM to be kept in touch at least and act when things go wrong. And acknowledge that their government has got it wrong.

Graham would like to see Mueller in front of his committee and there are a good many other people who would like to see Mueller explain his partisan investigation stacked full of partisan Democrats who found no collusion but kept the investigation going for as long as it politically could in the hope they could get an obstruction charge going.
Given what has come out and the Durham investigation about to drop there are some senior FBI people under Obama who will be hoping Biden wins so they can get their sentences commuted given Joe was donkey deep in the shenanigans taht weaponized the Justice department to spy on the Trump campaign and then try to undo a democractic vote.

Are you serious? The world we live in, the world we want, is a world of rules. And it’s a world of games.
The rules: When you have the ref’s whistle it’s rugby rules for your team and soccer rules for the others. Your team can smash people and knock them over and you can pick up the ball and run with it. To add to their participation they can also use the hockey off-side rule and the soccer one with passing the ball to players ahead.
The opposition? When you have the whistle there’s no handling the ball, soccer off-sides apply and the netball contact ones.
Schiff is just playing the game. You obviously followed him carefully enough to count his 387 CNN appearances. Of course he has categorical proof. Schiff is just like Trump, he never lies. At least you didn’t say Schiff’s ‘fake news.’

/ 13th July 2020The states across the south that are being hit now had more warning of the consequences of the virus than those in the west and north east who got hit in the initial wave.
Unfortunately Trump was more concerned about his reelection prospects than leading the US in the fight against COVID-19. Had Trump listened to the experts early on he could have be in the vanguard of the fight against COVID-19 which ironically could have enhanced is chances of reelection. Instead he buried his head in the sand resulting in the US being continually chasing the virus.
It also looks like a large portion of the US population is more concerned about their individual rights as opposed to the greater good. I imagine that the US response to COVID-19 will be studied for years to come as a example on how not to respond to a pandemic.

“It also looks like a large portion of the US population is more concerned about their individual rights as opposed to the greater good.”
Anyone who claims a ‘greater good’ is about to rob you.
“I imagine that the US response to COVID-19 will be studied for years to come as a example on how not to respond to a pandemic.”
I agree. NY caused tens of thousands of preventable deaths by pushing infected people into the rest homes where the most vulnerable people where.
California has been locked down for months now and is seeing no better outcome for it, at a massive cost in destroyed lives.
The whole worlds response will be in the same boat. Sweden and Japan are in the few nations that took an adult approach. France has now realised the lockdown was a massive mistake and have stated they will never repeat it. Norways PM when on TV and apologized to the nation for the lockdown that was not needed and did no good.

Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“Peru lockdown –
Coronavirus: What’s happening in Peru? – BBC Newswww.bbc.com › news › world-latin-america-53150808”
If I follow this correctly, the lockdown did not work in Peru because it is a very poor country where people need to work physical jobs to eat.
Is that your view too?
“Swedish death rate still climbing & economically they are no better off than Norway have 10 times the death rate”
So the lockdown worked in Norway?
Why didn’t in work in Scotland?
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020I’ll just add this too.
The best match for why some countries get hit hard and others don’t seems to be how bad the preceding flu seasons have been.
The uk has had at least two years of very mild flu seasons.
Japan and Australia both had very bad flu seasons last year. Australia had the second worst season on record. 902 deaths.
Notice also the excess death 2017.
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“I imagine that the US response to COVID-19 will be studied for years to come as a example on how not to respond to a pandemic.”
Here is one thing they can investigate. How many people were killed by the lockdowns? Is it hundreds of thousands, or millions?
“Lockdown has been linked to an increase of almost 900 cancer patients dying at home, official figures reveal.
The statistic gives one of the clearest indications yet of the toll Covid-19 has taken on NHS services.
The National Records of Scotland data shows an extra 873 fatalities at home between March 16 and June 29 compared to the five-year average over the same period.”

/ 13th July 2020Tom Hunter
/ 13th July 2020And their deaths are still 1/10 the total of places like New York and New Jersey – controlled by Democrats of course, as they have been for years.
And of course there is no mention of the “spiralling” infections and deaths in California – because that’s also controlled by Democrats top-to-bottom. No mention of Georgia either, GOP controlled which opened up earlier than most, has had a rising case number for weeks now, but for which deaths just continue to trickle along with no spike at all. If you judged what’s supposed to happen there by all the screeching about Florida, Texas and Arizona you’d have completely missed what has happened in Georgia.
BTW – when they re-opened a few weeks ago they were greeted with a partisan MSM attack titled “Georgia’s experiement in human sacrfice. Christ – and then people talk about Fix News, FFS.
And naturally these partisan stories make little or no mention of the all the nuances involved:
– “infections” in younger age groups as the spike.
– definition of what a COVID “case” actually means per CDC definitions.
– the obvious implications for death rate (hint – NOT the same as in Feb/March).
– the newly calculated IFR from the CDC (0.26 – a bit worse than the usual flu)
– the Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) calculations and how they’ve changed.
– the growing evidence of populations effectively immunised against coronaviruses in general because of T-cell recognition.
– the evidence against such people being “spreaders”, let alone “super-spreaders”.
Which also apply to California, so good news for them too over the next few days.
And so on and so forth. But no: Another Grim Toll is the screech of the day.
Ishmael is a great example of what we’ve seen for years on NZ blogs: the obsession of NZ Lefties with US GOP Presidents and the simple, unthinking repetition of the talking points of the day produced by Democrats and the US MSM (or Democrats-With-Bylines as I call them). Saw it with Bush II also, the previous Godwin target: Another Grim Day For US Casualties etc, etc, etc.
And yet when anybody responds to this unending river of bullshit there’s an immediate sqawk asking why people are so obsessed with the USA or whining about people who are “pro-USA”.
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“Georgia ”
Georgia was a topic here quite few weeks ago. Disasters was only a week away etc.
It’s now been 2 and half months since they ended their lockdown and deaths have fallen steadily since the end of the lockdown.
Duker
/ 13th July 2020The daily rate of confirmed infections in Georgia has tripled from under 10 per 100K a month ago to high 20s to 30 now…still going up .
Daily rate is what matters, enables comparisons between States
tests are only 50% up from a month ago
Florida daily rate of infections in Florida is into the 40s
California , daily rate per 100K of confirmed infections below 20
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/california
And NY around the 5 mark per 100K pop confirmed infections. back in peak it was at the 50-60 per 100k pop PER day
You should try basing your views on facts …it might shut you up though
Forget the past numbers , what matters in the next 2 weeks is what is happening now.
Tom Hunter
/ 13th July 2020And as explained to you above that’s no longer a relevant number because of:
– the populations the infections are now hitting
– the immune response of those populations (often insufficient to even show symptoms).
– the definition of what constitutes an “infection”. There are already debates about restricting the CDC definition since it was crafted in the early days of the epidemic when it was thought that just having the virus was a problem.
As one example, everybody going back to hospitals now for delayed surgery or treatment, plus the usual accidents, is being tested for COVID, and a lot of them have the virus. Something like 2/3 of patients in Florida for example.
Duker
/ 13th July 2020Not so..NY State at it’s previous catastrophe reached more than 50 per 100k per day, now down to the 5 level
These are confirmed infections from test, those without symptoms are probably not included.
For Florida testing rate is up roughly 50%, confirmed cases have gone up higher than that. Florida is on its way to repeat NY catastrophe , and yes both Governor and Mayor failed to act swiftly, at least they can say it was all new then.
Governor of Florida can’t say that
Duker
/ 13th July 2020My data is out of date , it’s confirmed only back from beginning month
. Florida has exceeded NY states peak numbers in the last few days, and that’s absolute numbers not per 100k pop that I have been using.
Florida but both states roughly the same pop
It’s not funny but gotta laugh at the feeble attempts to explain it away, the sheer numbers wiping out any small differences in ‘process’

I know you can’t handle being wrong, but for someone who is so frequently one would think you would be more use to it.
Do you remember your prediction of 10,000 dead in Sweden? Are you betting on a second wave?
“Forget the past numbers , what matters in the next 2 weeks is what is happening now.”
You said that a month ago. Why are people not dying the way you predicted? Did I not point out to you the complete different demographic?
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“Florida is on its way to repeat NY catastrophe”
Cool prediction. For this to happen Covid needs to start killing people <65 in way nowhere else in the world has done.
Care to explain on what you base this expectation?
Duker
/ 13th July 2020Cuomo made the same mistake…we are going to be different to Italy….but wasn’t.
So you are saying Florida is going to be different…..too funny
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020Once again Duker, the demographic of people testing positive is almost entirely in the <65 age group.
Your prediction demands Covid starts killing these people in numbers seen nowhere else in the world.
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“Texas is now entering the “refrigerated trailers as makeshift morgue” stage of the COVID-19 surge of deaths in that state. Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, California and Louisiana also showing significant increases in deaths.”
Bahahah. Here you are with another Hoax.
Any simple check shows they use these regularly. Deaths, quite simply, in all those states are not above averages.
“In the southernmost parts of the United States, pandemic infections are spiraling out of control. And it’s entirely self-inflicted: based mostly in the Republican-led states that shunned social distancing advice and boasted about reopening early.”
California is the worst hit. Twice as many deaths as Texas. California has had the strictest lockdown, for the longest, in the US. Masks, social distancing, beaches closed, skate parks filled in to stop them being used. Businesses closed. The works. Everything you desired.
Please explain why so many are dying and why you make this comment when it is in direct conflict with the facts.
duperez
/ 13th July 2020I can understand an explanation being sought. Being directly in conflict with the facts doesn’t mean it’s not true though does it? (Flicks through a McEnany type folder to the tagged page for the explanation.) 🙃
Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“Being directly in conflict with the facts doesn’t mean it’s not true though does it? ”
It does very clearly. This comment for example, “And it’s entirely self-inflicted”.
Where is any evidence of this?
The theory is lockdowns are the required approach to minmise/eliminate Covid.
Yet there is no observable better outcome from any state or nation that has imposed lockdowns. The correlation is, in fact, that states with the strictest lockdowns have the worst outcomes. The self inflicted thing was NY/NJ etc moving covid patients into rest homes killing tens of thousands.
The only conclusion is that lockdowns are not effective, and much of the behavior as a result of lockdowns is killing many people.
So why are people insisting on them?
duperez
/ 13th July 2020Why are people insisting on lockdowns when they are not effective? I don’t know.
You have 70 90 zillion who agree with you.
Maybe the lockdowns happen because there are about 70 90 zillion who disagree with you.

Pink David
/ 13th July 2020“In the US it was about following the president so it wasn’t about fear”
That’s not what has happened now is it?
The states took their own actions, that is how the US works. Democratic states mostly took the hard lockdown path. Republican states less so.
Australia is very similar. Federal systems in action.
Duker
/ 13th July 2020NY has now around 5 per 100K daily new confirmed infections.
Florida have been climbing to around 40 while Georgia has climbed to around 30 ..per 100K pop per day.
Texas is high 20s rate per day and climbing.
NY at its peak was 50-60 per 100K new cases every day. ( now around 5)

Pink David
/ 13th July 2020Very simple. Different flu seasons. This is out of Edge Pope-Simpson. We are seeing very similar curves in South America too. Season is different, Covid seems to be offset compared to Influenza, 2-3 months later in the season. Look at the other data I posted on Australia. All flus produce the similar curves.
