Nationalist Pundit

There is simply no pleasing The Media.  They complain about the White House daily briefings with Coronavirus updates.  They say the briefings should not be televised.  CNN hardly covers them anymore after President Trump exposed their deceit in a video played recently.  Then, Trump cancels briefings over the weekend because the so-called 'journalists' twist whatever he says.  For example, on Thursday, the briefing included the results of experiments conducted by the DHS bio-terrorism research lab.  The conclusion is that heat and humidity does shorten the lifespan of COVID-19 both in the air and on surfaces.  They also verified that alcohol, bleach and UV light will disinfect surfaces from the virus.  Trump then poses a question to the room if "SOMETHING LIKE" those methods could be used internally in the human body.  That set off another round of Fake News.

President Donald Trump is engaged in a war of words with the World Health Organization.  Specifically with WHO Director, Dr. Tedros Adhamon Ghebreyes.  Trump says that the WHO has been too, "China centric" in their defense of the lack of honesty and openness by China on the early days of the Coronavirus outbreak.  On January 20, the Chinese were still saying officially that COVID-19 was not transmitted between humans.  On January 21, WHO repeated this position on human transmission.  Even though it turned out that Taiwan warned the WHO back on December 31, 2019 that there was indeed human transmission.  Later, Dr. Tedros and WHO were critics of Trump's decision in late January to ban travel from China to the United States.  A move that even Joe Biden now admits was the correct call to make.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been sleeping on the job.  During an interview yesterday morning, he called for the Trump administration to put a "military" leader in charge of the logistic fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.  Schumer claims that federal resources, like ventilators, are not being produced fast enough nor being distributed wisely.  Governor Andrew Coumo of New York State has been complaining about a lack of ventilators.  He has demanded that all 20,000 ventilators from federal stockpiles be sent to his state.  Even though there are other 'hot spots', like New Jersey, Michigan and Louisiana also in need of additional equipment and supplies.  But Schumer has been too distracted by trying to politicize the Coronavirus pandemic.  About two weeks ago, President Trump assigned Rear Admiral John Polowczyk, logistics expert for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, to the White House Coronavirus Response Task Force.

The Coronavirus study which became the basis of the Imperial College of London computer model was wrong.  VERY WRONG!  Drafted by an epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, (NOT historian Nial Ferguson), the study predicted dire infection and death rates for the UK and the United States.  The subsequent computer model predicted some 500,000 deaths in the UK and over 4 Million deaths in America.  The model assumed that at least 20 percent of the populations of both countries would become infected.  But, reality paints a different story.  Based on data from China, South Korea and now Italy, the potential infection rates are now much lower, so much so that new predictions are that the UK may only have some 20,000 deaths due to the Coronavirus.  Not much more than a typical flu season.

New York Governor Andrew Coumo is getting greedy for ventilators.  He wants the federal government to send all 20,000 from our national stockpile to his state immediately.  Forget the rest of the states whose governors are also begging for more of everything.  Coumo seems to think that only New York deserves to live and survive the Coronavirus pandemic.  FEMA has already tapped some 3,000 HHS ventilators from the emergency stockpile and shipped them to several states.  New York City, alone, got 400 of those, with 1,600 to the rest of the state.  An additional 2,000 will be going to NY today.  The Army Corps of Engineers has already deployed to New York State to repurpose four large buildings into make-shift hospitals.  The US Navy is also preparing to send one of its two hospital ships to NYC.  Some 600 military doctors, nurses and medical technicians are also deployed to NY state.  But Coumo is greedy for more.

President Donald Trump declared a national emergency this afternoon in response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.  Invoking the Stafford Act of 1988, the President is mobilizing a nationwide emergency, releasing at least $50 Billion dollars in FEMA funds to states and local governments.  The Trump administration is temporarily waving numerous federal regulations and guidelines, freeing hospitals to take whatever necessary steps to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.  Trump has also ordered all state governments to activate emergency command centers and for hospitals to also activate existing emergency plans.  The White House is also coordinating with many private corporations to expedite testing equipment and methods.  Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Target will allow for many of their locations to serve as 'drive-thru' testing sites.  Google is setting up a website for online screening to advise citizens if they need to be tested and where to go.
