Once Joe wins, hopefully today, he will start talking covid and masks and Donald will hear a lot about covid after the election, there is gonna be bigly heat put on Trump to get off his ass and act or get the fuck out of the way.
Joe will be a president and if a president has an opportunity to save over 100,000 American lives, don't get in his way. If you or I were in his position with his responsibilities it would be a serious mistake to get in the way of saving lives.
my perception of french-canadians are they don't like canada either but i do not know one iota of your history except this is the 2nd Trudeau for prime minister and you burned down our WH for some odd reason.I’m just pointing out your obvious prejudice that’s on display, even in this post. Did all the French girls in college reject you?
Yeah, that didn’t happen to me.
Back to the topic of the thread....
Atlas push to 'slow the testing down' tracks with dramatic decline in one key state
Atlas push to 'slow the testing down' tracks with dramatic decline in one key state
Shortly after joining the White House as President Donald Trump's pandemic adviser, Dr. Scott Atlas launched a quiet effort that seemed counterintuitive to some of his colleagues -- encouraging officials to limit Covid-19 testing mainly to people experiencing symptoms.www.cnn.com
i heard a pundit briefly describe how he will be in a mood we've never seen and to brace for it.

Covid-19 infections could double in next month according to Harvard epidemiologist
From CNN Health’s Shelby Lin Erdman
Coronavirus infections could double over the next month as the virus continues to spread across the United States, Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch predicted during an online discussion Friday.
The US recorded more than 121,000 new Covid-19 cases on Thursday, the highest single-day total since the pandemic began. Cases have also surpassed 100,000 on Friday.
"It's not that I don't want to make them, it's that making projections gives the impression that it's not in our hands, that it’s some kind of hurricane where we can stand there, but we can’t do anything about it," he said.
The number of daily cases and how much the virus continues spreading "depends on our responses," Lipsitch added.
At the current pace, the spread will "grow exponentially," he said, because we're "not very close to herd immunity" in most places. In some places, he added, the spread could be slowed somewhat increased immunity.
Lipsitch also said people should expect lockdowns again, and stay-at-home orders, if intensive care units are overloaded.
"I think it really depends on how much capacity has been built up over the time that we've had to prepare, thanks to the intense control measures that were put in place early on in some places, and how much places continue to get overwhelmed," Lipsitch said.

The US recorded more than 121,000 new Covid-19 cases on Thursday, the highest single-day total since the pandemic began. Cases have also surpassed 100,000 on Friday.
But Lipsitch said he doesn’t like to make predictions because he still believes coronavirus mitigation efforts can work to bring down transmission rates.
"It's not that I don't want to make them, it's that making projections gives the impression that it's not in our hands, that it’s some kind of hurricane where we can stand there, but we can’t do anything about it," he said.

If this is happening to France, it will be bad in America, Canada too.

France has registered a new record number of coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, according to data released by the French Health Ministry on Friday.
The country saw the highest numbers of coronavirus cases for the second day in a row with 60,486 new cases reported on Friday. It had previously seen a record of 58,046 cases on Thursday.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, France has the most Covid-19 cases in Europe after Russia and the third highest fatality count after the UK and Italy.
There are now 28,955 coronavirus patients in hospital in France, and 4,321 in ICU, according to the Health Ministry, and the overall death toll stands at 39,865.

Some People Already Have Antibodies That Recognize Covid-19, Thanks to Common Colds
A new study suggests that a small portion of the population carries antibodies that respond to the coronavirus behind covid-19 without having been infected—antibodies lifted from previous bouts with the common cold caused by related viruses.
The research is the latest to indicate that some people may have a degree of preexisting immunity to the coronavirus. But though it’s possible these findings could help explain some trends in the pandemic, such as children being less vulnerable to severe illness, it’s still unclear just how protective this borrowed immunity could really be.
The new study, published in Science on Friday, tested blood samples collected from adults and children in the UK prior to the known start of the pandemic in December 2019, as well as from people early on in the pandemic who tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for covid-19. These samples were compared to people who had confirmed covid-19.
Common Cold Coronaviruses Might Prime the Immune System to Recognize SARS-CoV-2
A group of scientists think they’re closer to understanding why some people’s immune systems seem…

As expected, most of the confirmed cases had a diverse group of antibodies geared to respond to the virus’s spike protein, used by the virus to infect cells. These came from all three of the antibody types that combat viral infection (IgG, IgM, IgA). But in some uninfected patients, including those confirmed to have a recent common cold coronavirus infection, the researchers also found antibodies that appeared to react to SARS-CoV-2. “Our results from multiple independent assays demonstrated the presence of preexisting antibodies recognizing SARS-CoV-2 in uninfected individuals,” the researchers wrote.

Although I thought it was weird they called Arizona so early.
I was happy that the rest of the news was waiting for any last minute shenanigan's that Trump might have had before they called it.
The Republicans were pulling so much scams with the last day revision ballots it left room that they could cry foul if things were called too early.
I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona flips back (based on last numbers I saw), luckily Pennsylvania ended any chances Trump has.
The Democrats did about as well as they could IMO, Georgia gives them a chance to win the senate in January and have the ability to get some real work for our nation done.
Otherwise we will have to wait until 2022 with all the stupid games Mitch, the gremlin that attached himself to McCain, and the rest of the Republicans playing games in the senate.
