Trump says "Big Jim," the governor of West Virginia, must be doing a good job, since the state has no (reported) cases.
WV Gov. Jim Justice has himself said: “We know it’s here. I mean, let’s be real. It has to be here. We just haven’t found it yet.” nytimes.com/2020/03/14/us/…
As of Monday, West Virginia had only tested 84 people, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reported. wvpublic.org/post/coronavir…

The FDA has issued a statement clarifying the chloroquine situation. Trump wrongly said the anti-malaria drug was approved for coronavirus. The FDA statement says there is no approved coronavirus treatment. 1/
The FDA says:
- It's working with govt/academic entities already studying chloroquine for coronavirus
- It will continue to grant emergency compassionate use requests for another drug Trump mentioned, remdesivir, "but controlled clinical trials are needed" to test safety 2/
- Hahn:: If chloroquine works for coronavirus, demand will increase; they'll "take all steps" to keep it available to "patients who take it to treat severe and life-threatening illnesses such as lupus.” They want makers to ramp up production to mitigate any supply pressures 3/

Asked why he isn't pulling the trigger re using Defense Production Act, Trump says: "Governors are supposed to be doing a lot of this work...the federal government's not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of item and then shipping. You know, we're not a shipping clerk."
Trump says the same goes for coronavirus testing -- "the governors are supposed to be doing it," not the federal government.
Trump said "items," not "item." Asked why he's not using the Defense Production Act yet, Trump said, "The federal government's not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. You know, we're not a shipping clerk."

Asked about concerns about how long this all might last, Trump says, "It seems to me that if we do a really good job we'll not only hold the death down to a level that is much lower than the other way..." He adds, "People are talking about July, August, something like that."
Trump on how long this will be the new normal for: "They think August, it could be July, could be longer than that."
Trump acknowledges people are "very scared" but he says they also see that the administration is doing a very good job. "All you can do is professional, totally competent."

1:
Re 'case against Gen. Flynn', most news outlets focus on:
a)"Flynn lying to investigators" re meeting w/ Russian amb. Sergey Kislyak
b) Flynn being framed by FBI to lie
c) FBI top using Flynn for Russiagate against Trump
2:
There's MUCH more - all being suppressed! All pointing back to Andrew McCabe!
1) Flynn case was retaliation from BEFORE Trump running
2) McCabe's 'comrades' backed up McCabe in every way
3) McCabe = 'Russian colluder'
4) McCabe interferes w/ FBI-cases, INCL Boston bombing
3:
McCabe was accused of sexual harassment in 2013 (an EEOC complaint) by ex-FBI agent Robyn Gritz, wording amended in 2014 to:
“a hostile [work] environment, defamation of character through continued targeting by Andrew McCabe.”

Praise for @POTUS @realDonaldTrump's Coronavirus Response. Here are the TOP TWEETS: Name of person, then their tweet follows.
Rep. Matt Gaetz
The country can take great comfort in the fact that @realDonaldTrump has built teams to solve problems his entire life. America is armed with some of the best scientists in the world and in a better position to address coronavirus under @POTUS's leadership.
Governor Larry Hogan
On behalf of all my colleagues, I want to thank @POTUS for putting @VP in charge of the federal response. It’s good to have a former governor running this coordinated response as state and local officials lead our preparedness efforts on the front lines.

This year, let's work on dealing with real situations instead of random abstractions.

I've seen this argument way too many times in similar forms. Let's look at the 3 claims they make.
1. So far, the west hasn't been doing a good job of keeping some of its "masterminding" a secret. They openly admit to it.
2. Which voice is stronger in our media environment?
Hands down 100 to 1 it is the one that denies the West's roles and continues to push for war.
Once we know that the West is actively aiding one side, doesn't it make it impossible for Syrians to have agency and to decide their own fate?

The biggest impediment is the west starting a "civil war" in Syria.

WV State Police have ordered Interstate 68, both east and west-bound lanes to be shut down, as part of an in-depth investigation "that could require some time." Thousands of vehicles are backed up. Secret Service allegedly involved. wvnews.com/news/wvnews/al… via @WVNews247

Here are three deceptive claims coming from the supporters of the "More Big-Money" bill (SB 622) in the #WV Legislature. wvlegislature.gov/News_release/p…
#1 - We need to "reconcile West Virginia's contribution limits with the federal contribution limits"
MISLEADING: There is no need to "reconcile" the amounts of money given to state legislative candidates with those running for office for the Congress of the whole country. No one supports the big-money swamp in Washington & no one wants to bring it to #WV. #FightBigMoney
#2 - "Independent expenditures are not subject to the same limits or disclosure requirements as direct contributions, because of First Amendment protections."
FALSE: According to the National Conference for state legislatures. ncsl.org/research/elect…
