The Donald Trump Score Card

You think personal tax returns are going to show net wealth. You do understand what a tax return is right?

 

The Louisiana area will likely be struck a third time by a hurricane this year. It puts pressure on Trump to visit the area during the last week of campaigning.

The weather service is using Greek letters because of large number of tropical disturbances this year which depleted the alphabet. The number of storms is tied with the record high that occurred in 2005.

Errrr, well that's what happened didn't it

If it was just up to the doctor's, you'd all still be imprisoned in your apartments

 

The stranded Trump gatherers started singing the 'Where Oh Where' tune as his jet disappeared into the night sky.

What do Fauci and Australia have to do with Mexico paying? Trump said he would MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT and they told him to fuck off. As far as the Virus goes, you seem to forget that it went from The USA into Mexico, not the other way. For the first weeks it spread in North America, Mexico was free of Coronavirus.

Let's see them tax returns. Cyrus Vance wants to see exactly how that dip shit inflated and deflated the numbers.

 

Well, tell that to Dr Anthony Fauci, your country's leading "expert" on infectious diseases...a 79 yr old

Ba ha ha ha, that guy is a joke

 

Trump did a rally in MI where he complained that he had to stand in the cold and rain to defend his chance of reelection that he thinks would have been an easy win with hardly any campaigning had it not been for the coronavirus.

He also whined about how easy his life used to be.

His grievances have devolved to those about himself, no longer his constituents whom he used to say he was defending.

Top Trump health official warns of 'draconian measures' if America doesn't mask up

excerpt:

"Trump will likely tout the expected big GDP (gross domestic product) number Thursday as evidence of "the great American comeback" from the pandemic. But the new GDP number, which economists figure to be in the 25 to 30 percent range, comes after a 31.4 percent drop in the previous quarter. That is the worst economic decline ever recorded. "While the third-quarter bounce in GDP will be a record quarterly gain, it isn't all that impressive, as it follows the collapse in economic activity in the second quarter," said economist Mark Zandi.

Covid-19 cases are spreading so fast in Philadelphia that the city’s contact tracing program has been unable to track them all, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “Recently, we have not been able to reach all cases that test positive because we’ve seen a surge in cases,” Hannah Lawman, the chief of operations for the city’s Division of Covid Containment, told the newspaper.

Increasingly teens and tweens are volunteering for Covid-19 vaccine test trials, NBC News reported. Critics say the drug companies are using children as “guinea pigs.”

Two sisters in Chicago have been accused of stabbing a store security guard 27 times after he insisted they put on a mask.

The University of Wisconsin's football team, the Badgers, canceled its game Saturday in Nebraska because a dozen members of the team, including six players, have tested positive for Covid-19."

 

Poor baby... Maybe he should go hide in his bunker.

 

Bloomberg pumped about $100 million into the campaign against Trump in FL.


Cash-strapped Trump campaign shifts resources in Florida as Democrats dominate the airwaves - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Trump's sprint through the Midwest underscores the challenges he faces in the final week of the campaign -- trailing in the polls, outgunned financially by his Democratic challenger and facing an advertising onslaught by outside interests. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has helped bombard the airwaves in Florida where 29 electoral votes are at stake. Bloomberg, who supports Biden, has committed at least $100 million to Florida, and on Tuesday, announced he would pump $15 million into advertising in Texas and Ohio, two other states Trump carried in 2016.

As it marshals its resources, the Trump campaign has cut its own advertising reservations by a net total of about $14 million and replaced them with new coordinated buys from the campaign and the Republican National Committee totaling about $12 million.

In all, Biden and the Democratic National Committee are set to outspend Trump and the RNC by about $39 million to $24 million over the final week of the campaign."

 

Yeah, becuase masking up worked so well in Europe and the UK

Germany is about to go into a half lockdown again

 

The Supreme Court has declined to speed up a review of the PA mail-in voting fight.

It's a setback for Trump.

This is the same case that the Supreme Court had earlier ruled 4-4 (without Ginsburg). The tie meant that a PA court decision was permitted to stand (a setback for Trump).

Why the coronavirus may 'never go away'.

excerpt:

"Health experts say it's likely that enough people will become infected with or vaccinated against the novel coronavirus to end the global pandemic, but that the virus will probably continue to infect people at lower rates.

Ultimately, the "future" of the novel coronavirus will depend largely on the duration and strength of immunity against the virus, according to Yonatan Grad, an infectious disease researcher at Harvard University.

According to models generated by Grad and his colleagues, if immunity against the virus lasts a few months, we could experience another SARS-CoV-2pandemic accompanied by smaller outbreaks of the virus each year. If immunity lasts two years, infection rates for the virus could peak every other year, according to Grad. Grad explained, "The faster protection goes away, the more difficult for any project to try to move toward eradication."

The same calculations apply to a potential vaccine as well, The Atlantic reports. A vaccine that provides short-term immunity could require booster shots over time, like the flu shot. (And while there are several vaccines in development, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Monday cautioned that "there's no silver bullet at the moment and there might never be," adding that countries should continue contact tracing, hand washing, and social distancing to slow the novel coronavirus' spread.)

Moreover, even if the world did manage to eliminate the virus from the human population, "it could keep circulating in animals—and spread to humans again," according to The Atlantic. So far, tigers and minks have caught the novel coronavirus from humans, The Atlantic reports, and research indicates the minks were able to pass the virus back to humans.

But the most likely, best-case scenario, a vaccine would make the new coronavirus "a much less dangerous and less disruptive" threat, such as the flu or other seasonal respiratory viruses, The Atlantic reports. In this scenario, SARS-CoV-2 would become the fifth coronavirus—joining four other coronaviruses that cause a considerable proportion of common colds—that circulates among humans regularly and seasonally.""

 

This possible scenario is a difficult pill for Trump to swallow. He has relied almost exclusively on the hopes for a quick vaccine that will completely vanquish the virus and obviate the need for mitigation efforts such as social distancing.

 

In your country, Melbourne just got out of 111 days of lock down. Maybe you Australians should explain that to Trump. Tell him how serious that contagious disease is in real life. Don't bother with calling Fauci, he's got his hands full here.

 

Bunker Boy...

 

The article elaborates on the current coronavirus.

Such viruses have been emerging about once every eight years since the early 2000's.

Considering the increasing human population, its contact with animal life, and fast mass global transportation, there isn't any guarantee that more of them won't arrive that will be as deadly and contagious as the current one.

The arrival of new ones would once again set in motion the need for mitigation efforts while research is being conducted to produce vaccines and therapeutics.

Germany and France announce new lockdowns.

Putin mandated face coverings.

Trump will likely contend it's nothing but an increase in innocuous cases around the world.
