1 My bullshit detector went off the charts w/ CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield today: "We should anticipate to see additional cases & clusters in the days ahead."

"Clusters" is key. It's a step to a wider outbreak. This story will change when 50 ppl test positive in a cluster.
2 Redfield qualified it FOUR TIMES as Pence nodded
-Risk at this time is low
-As we stand her today the risk to the American public remains low
-At this stage the risk is low
-Current risk to the American public remains low

How can the risk stay low if there are clusters?
3 As I was writing the above, news hit of an outbreak..... "At a nursing facility in Kirkland, Wash, approximately 27 of the 108 residents and 25 of the 180 staff have some symptoms."

1 Trump was panicking & unraveling at his presser. He can’t speak coherently. He utters fragments of phrases that cannot be translated. As for COVID-19, he has given up. His dementia, lies need to hide info mean the US will soon have the highest # of COVID-19 cases in the world.
2 Trump’s panic tweet & pumping of a malaria drug show he wants to drop quarantines & give ppl the personal choice to live w/ the virus. A 2% death rate is no big deal to him- that’s millions of ppl. His inbred base will march off a cliff as he hypes a “cure” while it’s spreading
3 That’s why it’s so dangerous for ppl to believe Trump (an idiot even w/o dementia) hyping a “miracle” malaria drug. He will lie a/b results, ignore the side effects & use it to say “coronavirus is over, life is back to normal.” People need to wake up see this scam taking shape

1 Trump made a dementia confession at his rally when he projected "that’s what happens when you can’t get the words out, you get angry...Might happen to me someday." It was Trumpian of course w/ "might & someday" as qualifiers to acknowledge & downplay undeniable symptoms.
2 Trump's word finding issues are something patients vocalize frustration about for themselves. I've heard this firsthand. It fits w/ the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) version of Frontotemporal Dementia- (IMO). He of course needs a full exam at a place like the Mayo Clinic
3 It’s highly likely Trump has received a softened dementia prognosis. He's very sensitive. The D word probably wasn't used. Since the time span is long, patients are encouraged to stay active. PET & MRI imaging over time confirms dementia. It delays the label he so deeply fears

1 Dementia, Depravity & Desperation. The chaos around Trump’s deterioration from dementia is a variable his enablers can’t control. His doctors soften the bad news to him bc he’s a coward & would lash out. Easy words are used “It’s inconclusive, maybe a mild neurological issue"
2 Yes he'd simultaneously get a drug combo that's not helpful, wear a brace & have dietary modifications. He's probably had a series of MRIs & been BSd that it's "preventative." He has no courage to receive a bad prognosis. Denial & cover-up will rule his remaining days in the WH
3 Barr & Mitch protect Trump legally & politically. SCOTUS may hide his financials. Private thugs will continue subversion & threats. Lindsey said this am on CBS-Rudy can feed info to Barr. Maria Y, Stormy & his NY doc have been threatened. His thugs can’t stop his health decline

1/ So, what was going on at @CDCgov from Jan-March, against the mounting threat of coronavirus?

Based on hundreds of pages of emails we got our hands on: fumbling communications between federal and state agencies + general chaos. A few “jokes.”

Take a look for yourself:
2/ On Jan. 28, the CDC was reporting 5 cases of COVID-19. The CDC’s director, Dr. Robert Redfield, assured employees “the virus is not spreading in the U.S. at this time.”
3/ By Feb. 13, the agency was struggling with one of its most important duties: keeping track of Americans suspected of having COVID-19.

“Help needed urgently,” one email said.

This is FALSE

President Trump did not have a "slow start"

Travel warning for Wuhan 1/6

CDC activated emergency ops 1/21

Shut off travel from China on 1/31 (while Democrats were in the middle of their impeachment sham)

Why are Democrats using China's communist talking points?
.@RepRaulRuizMD knows better

He was at a #ChineseVirus briefing hosted by senior admin officials, Secretary Azar,
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield
and Dr. Fauci, on 2/5

Now is not the time for petty politics and blame shifting when you know the admin was taking this seriously
@RepRaulRuizMD "The bottom line is the coronavirus still remains very low-risk with low severity in terms of symptoms in the United States" - @RepRaulRuizMD on 2/5

Looks like Rep. Ruiz had a "slow start" in "taking this very serious"

.@SecAzar on all the morning network shows making the same false claim that "We have & always have had the capacity to test anybody who's suspected of novel coronavirus."

And @GStephanopoulos doesn't challenge him on that.

@aHEMandias @RadChick4Cast @chiIIum @turnbolt11 @RMachArts @RedPill_1984 RT'ing this here in today's thread on the earlier released but non-peer reviewed Los Alamos paper tweeted a week or so ago. Peer reviews take a long time.

Good explainer on R0 and how perception changed based upon reality of early patients.
