1/Short thread.
Seriously, wtf does the President think he is doing?
He has no plan to combat the virus. There is nothing. The travel bans haven't worked. The virus is exploding. The testing regime still isn't working properly. The health care system is already failing.

2/Why can't people around him, Ivanka, GOP leaders prevail on him to do something, anything to stop the virus?
Adopt the South Korea model - mass testing/isolation.
Surge funding for hospitals/equipment/beds, train newly unemployed to support?

3/How can he get up there each day on TV and pretend like he is doing something when we all know he isn't? What is going on in the heads of those who in the WH? Do they understand that each day he does nothing more people will die, the economy/society will be more harmed?
4/These daily TV performances are something one could imagine Nero doing, or Caligula, or Stalin.....they are so monumentally disconnected fr the reality we face, what is happening around us.
He is literally letting America burn.
We are witnessing madness.

5/Congress has to step up. We must, right now:
Surge equipment/beds/personnel to hospitals
Launch Manhattan Project to create rapid/ubiquitous tests
Shut *everything* down for 2-3 wks
Develop a youth strategy
Explain how everything stands up again

6/Mitch McConnell has a deep, profound obligation to raise his game here. He allowed our Mad King to stay in office, and he's driving the country off the cliff.
The Senate Rs have do more than insider trade, bury the bad news - they have to create a plan to win the battle.
