This kind of real "good news", and the similar stories coming from the results in California, (the curve has been bent sufficiently in this state that Newsome has been able to lend 500 ventilators to New York) and other places where relatively early shelter-in-place and social distance orders were put in place, (and have been largely observed) and show a genunely hopeful path to follow, never make it into DTD' s phony "good news" reports...Long Run wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:46 pmHave to give credit to our governor for getting out front on this before it could get a foothold. We're at about 1200 cases in a state of 3.3 million, and under 30 deaths (all with underlying medical conditions). The stay at home order has widely been observed, and has obviously played the key part in limiting the spread (yes, there are plenty of examples of non-observance but they only highlight the general honoring of the order). Current forecast is cresting in a couple of weeks, so we likely will not hit 3,000 cases by then, and may enter summer with fewer than 5,000. Such results make the financial losses, devastating in many situations, easier to understand and accept.
The reason for this is simple; DTD doesn't really care about real "good news"; he just wants to tout a shamelessly fake narrative about how Trump is some sort of highly competent visionary (hence his relentless emphasis on Il Boobce's hydroxychloroquine obsession) and there's no way to credit Trump with the success of the approach that has been actually proven to save lives...
The credit for that belongs with state and local leaders who led the way on it, and the citizens of those states who have taken seriously...
In fact The Moron-In-Chief had to be dragged kicking and screaming to embrace the lockdown approach and he clearly has a strong impulse to end it way sooner than could be medically justified...(which would of course just bring on a nearly immediate second wave, placing even more blood on his hands)
