Trump talked about how he was gonna use the Defense Production Act to help states get medical supplies. Today he said basically states are on their own and he's not gonna do that because the federal government is "not a shipping clerk"

3M is the company that makes n95 masks, they are currently working on 35 million masks. Pence said theres plenty of masks available currently. Thats basically bullshit. Theres a massive shortage everywhere. Alot of hospitals dont even have enough to last a week at this point and some hospitals are doing makeshift masks. Its so bad that the CDC even put out statements about how you can use bandanas and scarves to cover your face. Why would they do that if there are plenty of masks?

I can't believe the federal government is 2 months behind on all this despite having the intelligence to act on it. And now that the disaster is right infront of us, they still are incapable of responding appropriately. Their response has been an absolute joke.

And dont even get me started on their promise for plenty of tests because thats complete shit too.

I staff my hospital's IV room as a pharmacist and we were told by management/infection control to use a single N95 mask for the duration of our shift unless "visibly soiled." A week or so ago, we were instructed to change them every 4 hours, so this speaks to how the shortage has magnified. Mind you I work in a top 30 city in the US, so not exactly a small town.

So when I see Pence up there claiming there are millions of masks to go around, I just wonder where the hell they are.

Nope. When there were single digit cased in america, the CDC's Dr Anthony Fauci got infront of the mic, right after Trump said it was no big deal, and he basically told us its a matter of time not if. By that time we had plenty of data from china that would allow us to infer that a pandemic was coming unless extreme measures were taken. And at that time, South Korea and Iran were already experiencing outbreaks and Italy was starting as well.

Another thing, Trump said yesterday he would push for the FDA approval of this new indication for this drug thats being studied.

Its funny cuz that paper that everyone is basing this on was presented on fox news the night before, and it was a lawyer who was talking about it. Trump probably saw it and said, hey drug works, lets push for it. Its all a distraction tbh and Trump flaunting this is probably doing more harm. No you have every patient asking for this drug because Trump said its approved. That drug will be rapidly depleted, and people who truly need it wont be able to get it. And as far as the study goes, its a really shitty study. For the FDA to approve a drug indication with THAT study would be an absolute joke and purely a political move. Physicians use whatever drugs they want regardless of FDA indication. This is just a political move by Trump tbh to make it seem like he's being aggressive. He's literally not doing shit.

Cant get masks for construction work either and we are advised and trained for silica and other safety hazards.

so now what should we do? Work without basic PPE? According to NYS Cuomo said we are essential personnel. So sites are not closing down.

i dont see how building out a law firm space is essential personnel.

This whole response is so disastrous, the federal government looks like it has absolutely terrible communication with the states. The white house is fucking clueless. Trump keeps reiterating that we've never seen anything like this before, like he's making excuses. Any competent person would be able to lead a significantly better response. Trump thinks this new drug is gonna work tremendously because he has a "good feeling about it" has nothing to do with science.

I've been at home this week watching their daily press conferences and they are absolutely cringe worthy and completely fucking clueless.

I would guess over a million people die.

He attacked a reporter at the news conference earlier. That's a good indicator that Trump would rather do that crap than be a strong leader. Trump is probably too upset he isn't golfing yet or he's missing Fox News.

The reporter was absolutely right. He cornered trump with questions about the new drug, and he had Dr fauci talk about it as well. Trump eventually revealed that the reason he is so optimistic is because he has a good feeling about it. He called him out on that and Trump exploded.

We literally have a 9 year old clown as our president. I hope people see this. His approval rating is actually decent now, because people are scared. Meanwhile it was revealed later than the federal government is at a bidding war with states for medical supplies

This was all in the 90 minute press conference that just ended, I watched it live on CNN. It'll be all over twitter and youtube I'm sure.

The white house has been absolutely embarassing in all this. I'm just completely mind blown that his approval rating is up. He is literally lying to us every single day making it sound like we're making great progress. Its all just full of shit.

And the 1 thing that the president CAN do that will make a huge difference is a national lockdown NOW. Once the surge is in full effect and ICUs are full, it'll be too late. And he doesn't want to do that now. California and NY are doing it on their own. It needs to happen nationally.

lol, no. But there are serious consequences to hyping it up. It makes people falsely optimistic. Now every patient will be demanding it. The supply will run out quickly. And patients who actually need it for their original indication (which is usually rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory osteoarthritis) won't be able to get it from their pharmacies cuz itll all be out of stock.

So trumps latest lies are that hydroxychloroquine and azothromycin is the greatest achievement in medicine. The drug combo has extremely weak evidence that it might decrease viral load. There's absolutely no evidence that this saves lives. In fact 4 of the 26 patients who got the combination kept getting worse and went to the icu.

He is absolutely just giving false hope to save face.

He is making it sound like a cure which it absolutely is not.

Not to mention it is going to be rapidly depleted and people who actually need it won't be able to get it.

It's a very dangerous tweet. Imagine all the patients coming in demanding this. The fda also has not approved it for this indication, he initially said they did and that same day they said they didn't. Today he said "fda has moved mountains" uhh no, they haven't done anything. They are reviewing it but no doctor in their right mind would approve it formally with the current amount of evidence that exists.

Another lie, Pence said yesterday that there are plenty of tests. Fauci directly contradicted that later in the same press conference and said no we have not met the testing demand.

Today, LA and NYC are recommending to their doctors to not test if it wont impact the treatment. AKA if its mild, just tell them to go home and self quarantine.

based on the replies I'm going to guess you guys think democrats never lie.

I'm not even arguing if Trump lied or not, I'm arguing why are you mad at Trump for what you perceive to be a lie, but never actually get on your own party about their lies? Acting like Democrats are the beacon of honesty and morality is hilarious and that is what I am getting on you guys about.

You expect republicans to eat their own when they screw up, but it never works the other way, which is my point. You're acting like Trump is the only liar in politics, well I Challenge you to find an honest politician.

if we're going to bring up Obama, the famous "You can keep your healthcare/doctor" line and the broken as fuck obamacare sign up website. or the fact he didn't lower healthcare costs as promised.
