So my Tiger King binge was interrupted by a text saying the CEO of MyPillow is now part of the presidential briefings on COVID19 ... please tell me this is a prank.
Not a prank. Ok perfect. Everything is fine.
Oh good and also this. Perfect.
So if Trump is now doing the Celebrity White House Apprentice will there be bigger stars cast? And can we expect dailing ratings updates? Because apparently what we can't expect are answers to when we will have enough tests and crucial medical equipment to help beat the PAMDEMIC.
Whew... let me go back to Tiger King. Our DMV lockdown begins at 8pm ET and these episodes aren't gonna watch themselves...

This makes no sense, since congress routinely handles multiple crises at once -- and would be an argument for removing the impeachment clause from the constitution altogether since an emergency can always happen. It makes even less than zero sense if you follow the timeline... 1/
Trump was impeached December 18, 2019 for trying to extort a foreign ally to smear a campaign opponent. The House investigation began in September, and his actions stretched back months before. Is the suggestion that no investigation should have been done "in case of emergency?"
The Senate trial began January 16. Yet the Senate still managed to hold high level briefings on coronavirus later that month, which preceded Senate stock dumps that are now under investigation fortune.com/2020/03/31/fbi…

I've taken to calling it "The Presidential Apprentice." Now ⁦@poniewozik⁩ has written a review: "In its short life, for all its dead-serious subject matter, the program has developed the structure, rhythm and characters of a weekly reality show." nytimes.com/2020/03/30/art…
To reiterate: Trump has finally found his way back to his comfort zone: reality TV. He doesn't even appear to be trying to succeed at delivering actual results as president in this show, despite the tragic outcomes for Americans, he's just delivering exciting episodes...

The daily briefings are his new TV show: a version of The Apprentice where he can go off on reporters and receive praise from the other administration "characters." He's back in his comfort zone as a performer, untroubled by the fear among the HUT (Households Using TV / Nielsen).
The legendary @CaroleSimpson7 said something on #amjoy today that blew my mind: Trump could actually block people's ability to get information on what coronavirus is doing to their communities by pre-empting local evening news with what amount to daily campaign briefings.
And if you click on Trump's tweet note that it is not just a one-off comment--it's an entire thread. He is fixated on the ratings. That's what he cares about. Not one word about those who are sick or who have died. @marcorubio claimed the media is "gleeful"? Dude-note your POTUS.

Reconcile.
Now what role are they playing in #COVIDー19 ?
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Impeachment failed.
Coronavirus released to the world.
We have the cures!
Now watch:
Why are they so vicious?
Could they be partners in crime with the largest pedophile cult in the world? How many corporations control 90% of all perceived information that is actionable by the Government. Their information.

Partage de simulations de modèles de diffusion qui illustrent bien problème & solution du #COVIDー19 .

1/5 : #diffusion libre - profil #exponentiel - avec #population en circulation libre & contact aléatoire non contrôlé, comme en #France avant jeudi 12/3.

Src @washingtonpost
2/5 : modèle de diffusion avec création de zone de #confinement et tentative de #quarantaine forcée, comme en #Chine (Hubei).
En pratique, impossible d'isoler (à part sur un bateau) la population #COVIDー19 de la #population saine. La zone finit par devenir poreuse.
Src Wshgtpost
3/5 (#solution) : modèle de diffusion avec #SocialDistancing ou #DistanciationSociale pour 3/4 de la population et circulation libre d'un quart de la population.
Deux simulations dans la vidéo suivante qui montrent des charges de contamination plutôt contrôlées.

1/7 I'm proudly part of this #COVIDー19 rapid response in Kenya (with @lukechurch @SpryVoice @Anna_Colom and the team @africas_voices). We're reaching millions, and listening/responding to thousands with critical information and advice. Story👇🏾 starts tomorrow, ends 2 years ago.
2/7 Tomorrow we go live on @RadioJamboKenya with @MassaweJapanni at 11am EAT - a show reaching millions. With an expert, the show responds to our analysis of Kenyan citizens' questions and concerns... we're building a trusted two-way conversation space.
3/7 Two days ago, @RadioJamboKenya started airing 'Public Service Announcements' with a call for Kenyans to send their views on #coronavirus for free using SMS. In 48 hours, over 900 Kenyans texted us. The number is growing quickly.

Six new #COVIDー19 in bc
2 related to Iran travel
2 in 60s from princess cruise 11-21 feb trip - Fraser health region - stable but in hosp for observation
More may test positive who were on that cruise
2 most concerning - residents of Lynn valley care centre
#bcpoli
Dr Bonnie Henry says the two positive tests in the care home leading to large investigation into residents and workers and what contact they’ve had.
And there are restrictions on that facility now for who is in and out.
#bcpoli #COVIDー19
Four recovered
The icu patient stable
2 I
All others in isolation
Also those with contact in isolation
“We are in an extraordinary situation” - Henry says - if you are sick stay home, keep your kids home.
But know that not everyone who is sick has #COVIDー19

Yet again I'm fascinated how the first casualty of the coronavirus is language. The below statement is true, of course: Worry over coronavirus is legitimate, panic is dumb.
That's what I get googling the definition of "panic", defined as "sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behavior".

By it's very definition, panic is dumb.
It goes onto infect the entire country and kills a million people, Elon can still go back and justify that tweet: "Yes, worry was legitimate, I was just saying the panic was dumb".
