The Trump Pandemic

[Brian Peacock]

Fark. How is it possible this ignoramous is president?

Because some very wealthy people paid for it to happen.

How much did Bloomburg piss away? Was he paying for Trump to continue? Or for...Biden?

Maybe he wasn't the right kind of wealthy. He doesn't have 'Trump money'.

You've probably heard an example of a non sequitur before, but it would still be foolish to think that chocolate chip cookies are in any way superior to all-butter shortbread.

[JimC]

I quite agree, Brian. I use a considerable amount of butter on my toast...

[Cunt]

Pantywaist.

Chocolate chip cookies made WITH all-butter shortbread.

For the win.

Bloomberg is far wealthier than Trump, even after giving over eight billion to charity. He blew what most people would consider a lot of money on his campaign, but it didn't make a significant dent in his stack.

The WHO declared a global Health emergency on January 31st. The countries that reacted very soon are fine now. The countries that didn't start preparations at that moment are in a bad situation...

So you popped in to mention the good done by the WHO, while neglecting to mention anything critical?

OK...sounds very 'sciency' of you.

...so the WHO has a budget of $2 billion, most of which was spent on polio and malaria prevention.

The CDC has a budget of over $6 billion.
Did they fail to predict this Pandemic or to make Preparations?
Do you think they were incompetent, or maybe Trump just didn't listen to them?

Your well thought through opinion on this would be greatly appreciated.

If people were as critical of global organizations as you are of me, they would probably be a lot sharper.

Swerve.

I think you are less competent than Trump...evidenced by contrasting your interests and words against his.

Spin.

And you popped in to defend the global orgs too. I'm not surprised. You probably want an EU to rule you, rather than your elected officials.

Crash!


You really must make some effort to up your game. Please try to be coherent sometimes.

Answer the question.

So instead of trying to save lives, Republicans are just going to lie about the number of deaths instead.

Florida scientist was fired for 'refusing to manipulate' COVID-19 data, she said

The scientist who created Florida's COVID-19 data portal wasn't just removed from her position on May 5, she was fired on Monday by the Department of Health, she said, for refusing to manipulate data.

Rebekah Jones said in an email to FLORIDA TODAY that she single-handedly created two applications in two languages, four dashboards, six unique maps with layers of data functionality for 32 variables covering a half a million lines of data. Her objective was to create a way for Floridians and researchers to see what the COVID-19 situation was in real time.

Then, she was dismissed.

"I worked on it alone, sixteen hours a day for two months, most of which I was never paid for, and now that this has happened I'll probably never get paid for," she wrote in an email, confirming that she had not just been reassigned on May 5, but fired from her job as Geographic Information Systems manager for the Florida Department of Health.

After FLORIDA TODAY first reported Jones' removal from her position in charge of the Florida COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard she created, she confirmed, as reported by CBS-12 in West Palm Beach that she was fired because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."

She provided no further details.

In an email last Friday to researchers and other data users, Jones warned that with her removal changes were likely coming to the accessibility and transparency of the dashboard data.

"They are making a lot of changes. I would advise being diligent in your respective uses of this data," she wrote.

Researchers who saw the email reacted with shock and dismay, suggesting it could be evidence that the Gov. Ron De Santis' government was censoring information to support the case for re-opening Florida.

Answer the question.

Trump is absolutely ruining this pandemic for you!

Just think how awful things would be if you lived in his country!

Nothing stopping any of you folks from chucking more money into the WHO, if you think it is worthwhile.

If you don't want to pay, then you shouldn't have to pay either.

[JimC]

Sack those watchdogs!

No, the cat's have the 'Rona

[L'Emmerdeur]

Don't tell anybody, but I think they're actually watch lizards.

Are we surprised? Said it all along. Data is political.

[JimC]

Sure, but most of the manipulation is in the direction of making the numbers lower, less alarming...
