So today it's cloth masks recommended for the public, ~250 HI Natl Guard activated to help with airport screening / security, sending visitors/homeless arriving without a place to stay back immediately to where they came from, and trying to transfer state inmates to Fed detention center on Oahu. Much more at link to today's press conference

"Who ever heard of 180 million masks?" asks @POTUS of the production order @fema and @HHSGov has made.

Maybe the federal agencies who’ve counted 327 million citizens in this country? A day after it was announced everyone should wear a mask when going out in public?

Dr. Fauci on Face the Nation this morning:
“I will not say we have it under control, we are struggling to get it under control.”
He noted that mitigation is showing some success in places like New York.

its interesting to look back to what he was saying and the national plan that he and the cdc were talking about. we knew back then it was transmitted person to person.
These are the people that have been advising the president and others. and we wonder why the message is so wishy washy.. there is no real plan. except stay home.

Why not? I imagine his approval rating is quite high presently.

Amazing first hand account of a married couple's experience with covid. Both Harvard docs, both tested positive, one asymptomatic, one critically ill.

If he resigned he'd be replaced by a yes man. I think he's doing a good job, he doesn't repeat the lies.
That's why he needs protection from the right-wing kooks, they know he's quietly undermining OrangeMan.
I wonder if Hawaii has ever considered renaming DOH!

A letter was published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine by a doctor. You know, a member of the profession who understands disease and viruses and how to treat them. One of the experts who knows whether a treatment protocol is correct or not. Someone who will see us through this era of COVID-19.
He's a doctor, not a politician. He writes his piece as if it were a statement read by the President at an upcoming press briefing.

I fired Tom Bossert — he was Homeland Security Adviser and coordinated the response to pandemics. I also let Tim Ziemer go — he was the head of global health security on the White House’s National Security Council. I then shut down the entire global health security unit.
Then Dr. Luciana Borio, the National Security Council’s director for medical and biodefense preparedness, left as well. Like Ziemer and Bossert, my administration never replaced these talented individuals — I confess these moves greatly weakened our ability to respond to infectious threats.
