    I don't think they are any less partisan that notin, but that's just my opinion. It's hard to talk about politics and not be partisan.

    I think it still matters because it also calls into question the administrations current and future actions in case there is a second outbreak which Dr Fauci suggested could happen.

    Hey! Here's an idea!?

    Keep talking everything down, and hope the economy doesn't open back up for the 18 months many of you are now pushing for....

    Guess what!? We will get on top of this, and we will start to move forward in a few months!

    NO DOUBT we will need to move forward with caution! With extreme caution! BUT move forward we will.

    Now, I know that scares some of you! You are terrified! Seemingly terrified over any bit of hope.

    This is how off the rails you've gone.

    NEWS FLASH.... We are not shutting this economy down for another 6, 12, or 18 months! It ain't happening!

    When did Fauci say that could happen? I heard fall somewhere and spring somewhere else

    Fauci added, however, that if another outbreak were to occur, things “are going to be very, very different.”

    "Our ability to go out and be able to test, identify, isolate, and contact trace, will be orders of magnitude better than what it was just a couple months ago,” Fauci said.


    We'll see how it goes when the second outbreak occurs.

    Meanwhile, we have definitely seemed to peak in CT, and NY is not far behind

    That's one of the things that happens when you're required to social distance, no?

    As a young person who knows what's going on, your viewpoint is a very valuable one, Thunder.

    I’m far from partisan, but only when it comes to Trump. But I really have not watched or read anything from CNN or MSNBC. I am getting my anger and frustration from Trump’s daily press conferences.

    I’m definitely not far left or anti-Republican; I am steadfastly anti-Trump. I had every intention of supporting Weld when he announced his campaign, which lasted all of maybe 7 or 8 hours...

    This wasn’t taken seriously by virtually every politician. However, Trump is in charge so he gets the blame. That’s how it works.
    I didn't challenge his medical knowledge, not at all. I called out and exposed his political spin.

    Suburban NYers are coming to Florida. The deaths are not in the suburbs.

    He doesn’t realize intelligence is not measured by how much you know; it’s achieved by realizing how much you don’t...
    A blowhard, yes. An idiot? If you think so, you are just burning with bias.

    This is almost too much to believe.

    Tom Vanden Brook, USA TODAY Published 6:45 p.m. ET April 8, 2020 | Updated 7:40 p.m. ET April 8, 2020

    WASHINGTON – Acting Navy secretary Thomas Modly's trip last weekend to address sailors aboard the COVID-19-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt cost taxpayers more than $243,000 for the 35-hour round trip on a Gulfstream 550, according to a Navy official.

    Modly's profanity-laced speech to the sailors, during which he branded the fired captain of the ship as "naive" and "stupid" for seeking aid, prompted Modly to offer his resignation Tuesday.

    Modly, who is in quarantine after visiting the Roosevelt, had his offer accepted by Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

    Modly flew aboard the C-37B, a Gulfstream business jet modified for military use. The per-hour cost of flying it is $6,946.19 per hour, according to the Navy official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Flight time for the Guam trip was about 35 hours for a cost of $243,116.65.

    Wednesday, the Navy reported 286 cases positive for COVID-19 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which remains docked in Guam. The Navy has tested 93% of the crew and moved 2,329 sailors to shore to isolate them. The rest of the 4,800-member crew is on board to run nuclear reactors, guard weapons and disinfect the ship.
