Former CIA operative: China uses Dems as 'useful idiots' to spread propaganda, Biden 'in the tank' for Beijing In an interview on "Fox & Friends," Wright - a Democrat who supports President Trump - said the president should initially give President Xi Jinping the chance to "do the right thing" -- acknowledge a degree of culpability, and offer up a solution to all who have been devastated by the virus. "And, if they don't -- which, by the way, I doubt that they will, having worked with these folks in the past -- we now have to then rally the troops. And not, of course, not just the American people here. I'm talking about a global alliance to tell President Xi that, in fact, he is culpable," he said. "And then, we have a number of different tools [at our disposal]: removing them from the World Trade Organization, tariffs, [and] sanctions," he pointed out. "We have a way to hit them back where they don't want to be hit the most which is, of course, their economy." Wright said China will "push back" and have already started to push their own narrative using "useful idiots in the Democratic Party" to blame Trump. "So, we are going to have to be able to respond as a country to say 'enough,' grab our alliances or all these allies, and demand that they make it right," Wright said, arguing that voters will have a stark contrast between Trump's stance toward China and the much friendlier posture of former VP Joe Biden. "There is a profound impact then on the November election and who we choose for our president, right?" he asked. "We have to say no to Joe because Joe Biden has been in the tank for the Chinese for so long."
U.S. Approves an At‐Home COVID-19 Test—But Four States Ban It If you go to the LabCorp site promoting the new kit, however, you’ll notice a warning: “Not available in MD, NJ, NY, and RI.” As it happens, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island are four of the states hardest‐hit by the virus. As the Associated Press explains today: “Those states have laws prohibiting testing with at‐home sample collection kits, according to LabCorp.”
I wonder what the reasoning is within the state governments of these four states to "have laws prohibiting testing with at‐home sample collection kits" during a national emergency. Seems very counter productive.
Elizabeth Warren's oldest brother dies of coroanvirus https://www.wral.com/elizabeth-warrens-oldest-brother-dies-of-coroanvirus/19068453/ The oldest brother of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Donald Reed Herring, has died from the coronavirus, the senator said Thursday. The former Democratic presidential candidate said her brother died Tuesday evening. He spent his career in the military after joining the U.S. Air Force at the age of 19 and was "charming and funny, a natural leader," Warren tweeted. “I’m grateful to the nurses and frontline staff who took care of him, but it’s hard to know that there was no family to hold his hand or to say ‘I love you’ one more time—and no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close. I’ll miss you dearly my brother," she said. The Boston Globe reported that Reed, 86, died in Norman, Oklahoma, about three weeks after testing positive for the virus. Herring flew B-47 and B-52 bombers for the Air Force, and flew 288 combat missions in Vietnam, the newspaper reported. He served as a B-52 squadron pilot and a squadron aircraft commander before retiring in 1973 as a lieutenant colonel. “What made him extra special was his smile—quick and crooked, it always seemed to generate its own light, one that lit up everyone around him,” Warren said.
If this is true, we are completely and totally fucked. So, if this is true, what should be done with people that have contracted the disease? Quarantine for life? Sent to some island some were? Like, seriously, what should be done? Is the economy permanently shut down? Do we all just stay at home and starve do death? Will only the peppers survive? https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN2240HI Those patients all tested negative for the virus at some point after recovering, but then tested positive again, some up to 70 days later, the doctors said. Many have done so over 50-60 days.
