I've tried to convey my anger at the stupidity, selfishness, and murderous recklessness exhibited by CULT45 and the GOP.

The words here are better than anything Ive said. Read all at the link, & Ill put the parts that got me cheering in this thread: dailykos.com/stories/2020/4…

To understand what's happening with COVID, you can't look at total numbers anymore. New York State, with the highest numbers of infections, has aggressively worked to flatten the curve and is succeeding. This makes it appear that the curve is flattening in the whole USA.../1
...the numbers to watch now - with so many states refusing to adopt ways of flattening the curve and Trump/Fox News fans storming around "protesting" requirements to not be morons - is the breakdown by state. Because remember, we won't know TODAY's infection rate for 2 weeks.../2
...but we now can see what was happening two weeks ago. And, as expected, the infection RATE is climbing rapidly in the dumbest "this is a hoax" states.

Moving away from states near New York, here are the ones that are rapidly going up in infection rate. Many fit a pattern.../3

Let's talk about who this lunatic @RepHeatherScott who believes social distancing to keep people alive is just like Nazi Extermination of the Jews.

In 2015, she cut wires in her office for a fire-suppression system because she was convinced they were listening devices.../1
...in 2017, @RepHeatherScott defended white nationalism on her Facebook page.

In 2017, when a female legislator was named to a legislative committee, this dingbat said the only way women get those jobs is to "spread their legs."...
..in 2019, she sponsored a bill to impede efforts by child protective services to investigate allegations of child abuse by requiring CIVIL investigators to read parents Miranda rights.

In other words, this loon isnt worth my time, but reflects on Idaho residents who elect her.

What is so pathetic here is if Trump was competent and GOP/Trump were not endlessly short-sighted (comes from playing for the Fox theme of the day, rather than policy) they could have been the COVID economic/public health heroes. They couldve followed South Korea's example.../1
..& have a major shut down for few weeks, having multiple back-ups for testing kits, massive testing & contact tracing, huge pre-orders of PPE, recruitment of available doctors/nurses (there are many who dont work in hospitals, but would). All while leading a global response.../2
...but they just couldn't do it. Trump was so worried about that day's stock market - and he is so ignorant and incompetent - that he just couldn't bring himself to focus on the fact that dealing with the disease with a major disease management program BEFORE it gets out of.../3
