I had so much more respect for Dennis Perrin when I knew him only as the author of Mr Mike, and not the author of countless shitty and stupid tweets smugly added to this thread by Morbs for reasons that make no sense to me beyond masochism

Dubya started off an anti-Pandemic thing when he was pres after reading a book about the 1918 flu pandemic and being like, "Woah this happens every hundred years we should mobilise to make sure it never happens again". It's some broken-clock-tells-the-time ish but obviously a jaundiced eye will find some way to make it about the Obamas.

Along those lines, all 50 states have at least 200 known cases, 40 state governors have issued official "stay at home" orders, Kentucky has a "stay at home advisory".
Nine states have yet to give any official order to limit the spread of the virus: South Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Utah. It's a roll call of crimson shame, but there no surprising names among them.

White House economic adviser Peter Navarro confirmed Monday that he and Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert, engaged in a heated dispute in the White House Situation Room about how enthusiastically the administration should tout the prospects of using an anti-malaria drug to treat the coronavirus.Appearing on CNN, Navarro was asked to respond to an Axios report that he arrived on Saturday with studies promoting the potential of hydroxychloroquine, a drug that President Trump has said could be a “game-changer” but that Fauci has repeatedly cautioned is unproven to combat covid-19.“There was that discussion on Saturday,” Navarro said. “If we didn’t have disagreement and debate in the Trump administration, this administration would not be as strong as it is.”After being shown a clip in which Fauci said the data on treating coronavirus with hydroxychloroquine is “at best suggestive,” Navarro suggested seeking advice from doctors besides Fauci.“I’ll let him speak for himself, but I would have two words for you: second opinion,” said Navarro, whose work for Trump has largely focused on trade.Pressed on why he is more qualified to weigh in on treating the novel coronavirus than Fauci, Navarro said he was competent to read the literature.“Doctors disagree about things all the time. My qualifications in terms of looking at the science is that I’m a social scientist. I have a PhD, and I understand how to read statistical studies,” he said. “You could be a plumber and read that and come to the same conclusion.”

! Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly told the crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt that their former commander Capt. Brett Crozier -- who warned of dangerous conditions on the ship -- was either "too naive or too stupid" to be in command. https://t.co/R7P7qSqGnE— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) April 6, 2020

Modly said he was incensed that Crozier wrote in his memo that the United States is not at war. In fact, China is to blame for the current coronavirus pandemic because it hid the scope of the problem, said Modly, who also accused the Chinese of not being as transparent as the Navy.
