Strawman. Where did I ever say I wanted it to fail?
It's got nothing to do with the drug. You want Trump to fail. You want to see every action he takes as a failure.
Not my hero, but I do hope he does well.
Nowhere, so it's a pathetic lie to cover up for your failing hero, Trump.
Africa is SO well-run!
Africa holds significant supplies of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, but we don't supply it needlessly when they are needed for other purposes.
...so I do actually hope that it works, but I'm not going to take my advice from a failed businessman and snake-oil salesman. I prefer qualified doctors.
I've seen no evidence that he can do better.
People have been reporting over the last few days that some employers are taking the interest free government underwrites while still making their employees go to work. I wouldn't be surprised to see boardroom bonuses and share option buybacks go up in Q2 here.JimC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:07 pmWe have gone down the UK path (well, similar anyway...), via a massive amount of money delivered as reverse taxation to employers to be used as a wage subsidy, to keep employees going until this whole damn thing is over.

Yeah, it will need to be watched very carefully. However, unions are gearing up to monitor the process, and it's actually under the control of the tax department, who are promising fairly robust checks...Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 10:00 pmPeople have been reporting over the last few days that some employers are taking the interest free government underwrites while still making their employees go to work.

Health care professionals are still going to work each day without sufficient masks, gloves, gowns and other supplies, and are begging for proper personal protective equipment (P.P.E.). In a country that spends more on health care than anywhere else on the planet, masks are being rationed or reused, and some hospital workers are even using novelty rain ponchos to protect themselves. Health care workers around the country are falling ill and dying — The Brooklyn Hospital Center estimated a third of its doctors and nurses are home sick with the virus. Meanwhile, President Trump has openly accused health care workers of being wasteful and hoarding masks. In the above Op-Ed video, nurses and physicians from around the country are demanding that the government take aggressive action to get them sufficient equipment.
And he will get elected again!International relations expert warns policy failure could do lasting damage as president insults allies and undermines alliances
Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, which he once dismissed as a hoax, has been fiercely criticised at home as woefully inadequate to the point of irresponsibility.
Yet also thanks largely to Trump, a parallel disaster is unfolding across the world: the ruination of America’s reputation as a safe, trustworthy, competent international leader and partner.
Call it the Trump double-whammy. Diplomatically speaking, the US is on life support.
“The Trump administration’s self-centred, haphazard, and tone-deaf response [to Covid-19] will end up costing Americans trillions of dollars and thousands of otherwise preventable deaths,” wrote Stephen Walt, professor of international relations at Harvard.
“But that’s not the only damage the United States will suffer. Far from ‘making America great again’, this epic policy failure will further tarnish [its] reputation as a country that knows how to do things effectively.”
==================//============
That’s a title the US appears on course to lose – a fall from grace that may prove irreversible. The domestic debacle unleashed by the pandemic, and global perceptions of American selfishness and incompetence, could change everything. According to Walt, Trump has presided over “a failure of character unparalleled in US history”.
Do Americans realise how far their country’s moral as well as financial stock has fallen? Perhaps at this time of extreme stress, it seems not to matter. But it will matter later on – for them and for the future international balance of power.
