Huh. Trump just figured out we need a plan for how to deal with the Pandemic? What's he been doing for the past 6 months?? I'm glad he's finally catching up. Maybe he should take a look at what a few of the States have been doing that was working. Maybe he should be looking at what other countries have been doing that was successful. Isn't that what sucessful business men do? You know, consult with knowledgeable people, come up a plan - you know, LEAD

Until we have a vaccine or an effective treatment, that is the correct response. Too bad it took months and 140,000 deaths. Now, is there going to be a real plan, or is it to just keep opening up, consequences be damned. We need to have some way of minimizing infections while opening things up. I suspect that will require a level of competence that the trump administration lacks

Now, is there going to be a real plan, or is it to just keep opening up, consequences be damned. We need to have some way of minimizing infections while opening things up. I suspect that will require a level of competence that the trump administration lacks I doubt seriously that this message gets out. Tim Eyeman is currently running for Inslee’s gov seat in WA and he was out in full force this evening opposing Inslee’s mask mandate. He made a comment.....“what right does a governor have to tell 7 million people what to do?” All I could think of is does he have any idea of what this job entails? There are a lot of people squawking about the idea of wearing masks here......but the pro mask crowd is starting to drown them out. I am heartened after what happened yesterday. Thursday, we have a SLAP (society of liquid absorption professionals) where we have been meeting on zoom, from home. With local restaurants opening up, it was suggested that we meet in person. One by one, couples emailed that they were uncomfortable getting together yet and were going to stay in their bubble. Most in the group are 50+, many retired. So they are doing what they can to look out for themselves. FWIW, DH and I made the choice not to go out too.

It's now in the family. Kimberly Guilfoyle -- Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend and top Trump campaign official -- tests positive for coronavirus (CNN)Kimberly Guilfoyle -- the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr. and a top fundraiser for the Trump campaign -- has tested positive for coronavirus, according to a top official for the committee she leads. "After testing positive, Kimberly was immediately isolated to limit any exposure," said Sergio Gor, chief of staff for the Trump Victory Finance Committee. "She's doing well, and will be retested to ensure the diagnosis is correct since she's asymptomatic but as a precaution will cancel all upcoming events. Donald Trump Jr was tested negative, but as a precaution is also self isolating and is canceling all public events."

Because if they trusted it they would say they're self isolating until they are negative for the virus.

So, is this going to be Trump's campaign slogan for 2020: "we need to live with it"? That's a losing campaign right there.. .

Rushmore in a private jet...but are returning to the east coast by car...driving themselves back. Don't have a link, read it yesterday some time. I'm pretty sure there are pictures of Jr. being there.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was married to now-California governor Gavin Newsom. With as much as Newsom's been at odds with Trump about masks, business and beach closures, etc., I can't help but smirk at this.

What will be really scary is if she shows no symptoms or they are mild, the nut jobs are still going to say, see it isn’t that bad and all the deaths are a hoax.

Speaking of Mt. Rushmore..... Trump has always wanted to be on Mt Rushmore. No doubt some of his minions will mount a campaign to make that happen. Can you imagine? Certainly 'which of these things is not like the other.'

He's not wrong. He's absolutely no help on how, but we do need to figure out how coexist with this and any coming pandemics. And we need how to figure out how to do it around assholes that won't wear masks and social distance. Otherwise they will take ownership of the retail stores, recreational places and entertainment venues.

If only there were some kind of written plan that took into consideration multiple sides of the issue, and was done with careful consideration before we were hit with the panic part of the situation. That would be so helpful.
