(1/3) In #Neenah to help launch a surge testing site that will help the people of #Wisconsin battle #COVID19. Testing is a critical component in our battle against #COVID19. The site will conduct up to 30,000 tests w/ the intent to detect cases that would go undetected. pic.twitter.com/QPi9xaKz7X

In the past 2 weeks, 21 states had their highest reported rates ever, including most of the midwest, much of the west. As predicted, we have surpassed 50,000 cases/day. White House cluster up to 40 known cases, hundreds not untested. Maine and Vermont still encouraging. 3/15 pic.twitter.com/00Wdr0vTus

Should have been posted on the international thread, oh well.

Should've been posted on the "Covid - watch the fuck out" thread. Unfortunately all the politics keeps us distracted, so there's times 0 Covid news is being posted for days. That's how effective deflection is, and has been for 4 years.

[Feel free to add under From the Readers for better longevity, tho I recommend combining domestic and int'l for now]

Birx, Fauci & Redfield: about to become the 3 MUTINEERS!

After Trump, Melania and their son Barron tested positive for COVID-19, members of Trump's pandemic task force are now distancing themselves from the president’s viewpoints, and standing behind the policies they’d like to see put in place https://t.co/T8GSeUR77x

comes to mind the Surgeon General may already be doing likewise, see upthread on his testing-promoting activities in Wisconsin.

Bunker beds - I hear calling the wife and kids together down under about this time is usually expected. (Hitler wasn't a family man, aside from a quick shotgun wedding, but Goebbels und Frau set the example for the Jugend.)

The Guardian tries out the tablodi headline thing with 'Captain Covid'. What I am thinking: if he's infected, it's a secret plot to spray clouds of virus over each and everyone of their heads.

by artappraiser on Sun, 10/18/2020 - 1:33pm

The thing I can't get out of my mind is that Trump is risking putting a lot of avid supporters at risk for coming down with bad Covid symptoms right around election day. And more and more it's looking to most polling and election forecasters that he only has any chance of winning if those supporters plan to vote in person. And that they are betting on high turnout on both sides and most experts expect that as well. But if enough of his in the crucial swing states come down with bad Covid symptoms exactly when they were planning to vote?....
