Why not relegate it to the trash, as was done with the handbook for dealing with a pandemic?
The only thing that will hit home with trump and maybe make him sit up and take notice is Ivanka being stricken with 'Rona. Or maybe not even that.

Not surprised by anything this administration does. Follow trumps gut feeling instead of science.

He would have to catch it and odds are he is already taking medications against the virus as a precaution.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

This area is very bipolar.
The public health officer and state talk of safe reopening plans.
The county sheriff issued a letter yesterday that they will not prosecute or go after anyone who chooses to exercise their American right to open their business for tourists.
The state is under a stay at home order. The county is completely open at this point.

Parking this article here so there is a future point of reference in case things going really down from here. AP Exclusive: Admin shelves CDC guide to reopening countryGAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Trump administration has shelved a document created by the nation's top disease investigators with step-by-step advice to local authorities on how and when to reopen restaurants and other public places during the still-raging coronavirus outbreak. The 17-page report by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team, titled “Guidance for Implementing the Opening Up America Again Framework,” was researched and written to help faith leaders, business owners, educators and state and local officials as they begin to reopen. It was supposed to be published last Friday, but agency scientists were told the guidance “would never see the light of day,” according to a CDC official. The official was not authorized to talk to reporters and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

There's so much cognitive dissonance with the whole pandemic that I just can't anymore.
ETA: It's not just trying to understand what's going on with the virus, etc. It's amazing at how insulated some people are. My state is looking at a 870 million dollar tax hit. On top of it unemployment is going to run out come October. Like, there will be nothing more to be had in the coffers.
Of there are going to be cuts to public services, including public education is going to be cut. I have NO idea how people cannot understand that. And I'm talking educated folks that should understand that public school systems simply can't just print money to pay teachers. How is it that our whole society has gone stupid?

He could be taking hydroxychroloquine. He was still on the bandwagon, even though the FDA said not to give it to outpatients due to risk of QT prolongation and arrhythmia

Could be that he and all his staff think they're taking it "under a doctor's supervision" but getting a placebo from the White House doc.

How is it that our whole society has gone stupid? gira did you see on the news that WI lost out on $25M of Fed UI money because the Rep legislature would not remove the 1 week wait period for people to apply? Evers had proposed it right away, and the Reps held it up until the last day? Of course Evers signed it immediately. If only those gun toting, capital storming Republicans could understand facts. Their politicians cost them UI benefits. SO that just added to the WI deficit

Trump is a known germaphobe. It goes against his worries to not wear a mask. It goes against his personality disorder to wear a mask. No one can see his amazing self then. How can they possibly admire him and how can he drool over his orange self every time he passes a mirror? He'll never wear one in public or anywhere else. He's too good for that. Masks are for the lowly commoners.

I haven't bothered watching those videos, but I've read some ridiculous claims, here and there. I want to set them straight, but it's much of my DH's family believing this, so I have to be nicer about it than I fear I can be. So, I say nothing.

I think y'all are posting about this woman. A Facebook friend of mine, a science teacher, posted this article yesterday. Judy Mikovits in Plandemic: An antivax conspiracy theorist becomes a COVID-19 grifterJudy Mikovits is a disgraced scientist who claimed a retrovirus caused chronic fatigue syndrome, results later soundly refuted. She went antivaccine for a while but has now been reborn as a COVID-19 grifter. Regular readers might have noticed that my output lately hasn’t been as…prolific…as in the past. You’d think that, with my spending more time at home than I have in a long time due to the restrictions put in place in Michigan to slow the spread of COVID-19 that I’d be a blogging fiend, even more so than usual, but oddly enough I’ve been less productive in that area than in the past. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because all the topics that catch my eye are COVID-19-related and just too damned depressing. Fun topics, silly types of pseudoscience, just don’t seem worth spending much effort on. On the other hand, maybe it would help my mood and productivity to do a post every now and then on something like Bach flower remedies. This is not that day, however, because I just got the opportunity to rectify an oversight that dates back to the very beginning of this blog, my never having discussed in depth an antivaxxer named Judy Mikovits. This opportunity comes in the form of a “trailer” to a “full length documentary” called Plandemic, which is being previewed by the release of a “series of vignettes,” the first of which was released yesterday. (26 minutes is a hell of a vignette! How long is the completed documentary? Ten hours?) From the name, you can tell that this is going to be a conspiracyfest of a “documentary,” arguing that the current COVID-19 pandemic was somehow planned. We’ll get to that shortly. First, here’s where the oversight rectification comes in. This first segment is about Judy Mikovits, someone I should have written about years and years ago, but somehow have never discussed on this blog. When you hear her story, you’ll see why I was shocked to realize that Mikovits has only been briefly mentioned a couple of times on this blog. Now, as is the case with a lot of cranks and antivaxxers, Mikovits is grifting on the COVID-19 conspiracy bandwagon.

I was just reading about her on facebook, a friend of mine posted a similar article debunking her.
I guess her group also touts sand as a miracle cure. I asked how exactly do I use Sand to prevent COVID? Do I stick it up my butt with the UV light?
Cause that wouldn't leave much room for the light plus I don't want the sand to end up turning into glass up there due to the heat.
Do I swallow it with my glass of bleach in the morning? Do I mix it with my Lysol before I inject it? In what concentration?
If I am going to do this i want to do this right.

DH's family was passing around that Plandemic video. He knows better than to show me. His brother has become an anti vax nut. He's getting a box of tin foil for Christmas to make a new hat.
On the plus side since BIL panic bought I won't have to buy rice again for a very long time.
