Why is Trump -- a narcissistic germophobe who has long refused to shake hands for fear he'll contract disease -- so sanguine about his own odds of getting coronavirus? Especially when he's in the most likely demographic to die?

His germophobia has been documented for decades:

Long, detailed article on Trump's lifelong obsession with washing his hands, which disappeared with the coronavirus: "He went from being a germophobe to being a germoholic."

"The handling of the coronavirus is a political attempt at state-sanctioned mass murder that is going to be successful unless measures are taken to stop this administration and its backers." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/united-s…
"The pretext the GOP gave -- which is revolting just as pretext -- is that this is what's good for the economy. They are willing to kill you for the economy. That's the message they actually *want* out there." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/united-s…
"What's horrifying is that the other message, the real truth behind this, is much worse. They are willing to kill you because they are willing to kill you. That has been the truth the entire time." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/united-s…

"The gutting of the institutions that handle pandemics and public health came at the same time we had no Sec of Defense, the State Dept was gutted, the courts were packed. It was intentional and it happened under Trump and Bolton." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/jared-ku…
"During the 2019 government shutdown, we talked a lot on @gaslitnation about the apocalyptic view of the Trump camp, who see a depopulated earth as easier to control. We did several episodes laying out their rationales and brutal goals." patreon.com/posts/jared-ku…
"This crime cult has hierarchies of people: a global hierarchy, and a US hierarchy. You see their hierarchies reflected in public discourse. You see places like the NYT churning out articles backing eugenics and excusing nazis." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/jared-ku…

"Trump and esp Kushner are responsible for the pandemic response. The Trump Crime Family needs to retain power; they'll do whatever it takes. They'll try to steal the election. And if they can't, they will run Ivanka." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation

"Kushner is using Facebook groups to get info on a *pandemic* like I would use Facebook to sell used furniture!" -- @AndreaChalupa

"IMO that Facebook story is a cover for something worse. It's malice disguised as incompetence." -- me on @gaslitnation

"The Trump regime tries to cover up crime with scandal. They try to cover up malice with incompetence. This admin was keenly aware of the virus and its potential to cause the kind of collapse that Trump has long rooted for openly." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/jared-ku…

Happy hour is over. Time for a critical livestreamed coronavirus legislative update from Bernie Sanders:

Thread.
Bernie Sanders says there are items in stimulus bill that he deeply dislikes. Items that are not in it. Graham and 3 GOP senators are trying to undermine the bill. #coronavirus
Bernie says he cannot imagine there is any bill that can get through the White House and Senate that is not laden with corporate welfare. #coronavirus

⚠️ THREAD: President @realDonaldTrump took decisive action from the beginning to protect Americans from the Chinese coronavirus.

While Democrats & the media were obsessed with impeachment, President Trump was focused on Americans' health.

Check out the timeline:
January 6: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a travel notice for Wuhan, China due to the spreading coronavirus
January 7: The CDC established a coronavirus incident management system to better share and respond to information about the virus

Thread: Coronavirus Pummels #Wuhan, a City Short of Supplies and Overwhelmed

It is nearly impossible to get the care they need to treat, or even diagnose, the coronavirus, say residents at the crisis’ center
nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…
Weak with fever, An Jianhua waited in line for 7 hours outside the hospital in the cold, hoping to get tested for the new coronavirus, which doctors suspected she had contracted.
Ms. An, 67, needed an official diagnosis from a hospital to qualify for treatment, but the one she went to last week had no space, even to test her. The next hospital was full, too. They finally got an intravenous drip for Ms. An’s fever, but that was all.

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
