No doubt, time feels like it has slowed to a crawl. Seems like a year ago since super bowl which was only 6 weeks ago.

It's been 43 days since the impeachment trial was rushed through the senate. Feels like a lifetime ago.
Tomorrow he will say that we are very prepared and still blame china.
Jamelle Bouie of the NYT, always on point
This happened under Obama too, Democrats backing away after 2010, and especially 2014 using approval ratings from the ebola crisis as an excuse.
These things need to begin to be seen as the emergency relief and assistance it is, and not merely a "benefit" from a liberal government. "I don't want to give $1000 to a millionaire" when the tax code changes are already doing this anyway, is such a non-point.

BREAKING: There are now over 10,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the US. The surge is largely due to increased testing.
12:40 - 19 Mar 2020
People are out here losing their homes missing rent and mortgage payments in the next two weeks, and Schumer and Pelosi are worried about getting hit with racist "funding the Welfare queens" attacks.
Jesus Christ, the leadership is too old and too white.

Still crazy to see that means it many more people who has it.
If you think unemployment numbers are going to magically go up after this shitshow, I got a bridge to sell you.
That's bull, the surge is because we did fuck all to contain this.
You're probably right, there's a reason why Miller has survived in the WH so long when everyone else burned out/got backstabbed, and it's because his racist views align so perfectly with Trump's. Miller is probably the son he wishes he had.
...What? They will rise. I was being sarcastic. He's in deep trouble.
Her follow up was just as bad. And he ends on that reporter. Sad.
Only this admistration would give OANN press credentials.
I was thinking this a couple days ago; it needs to be done. And a big part of why is that these kinds of commissions are not just about looking at the history or assigning blame, but they also carry with them recommendations on what can be done to mitigate future incidents.
Dude resolutely sees this this as a numbers game and nothing else.
Based on what Wonderment recounted about Schumer's media appearance last night, it seems he might have a case of Kamala Harris Social Media Team syndrome on this one. (UI is about to be overloaded and needs assistance, sending checks to working people month after month doesn't make a lot of sense.)
Jamelle's right in that it's them being paralyzed by the Reagan era and not donors. Whoever replaces them can be older but just not from the era when Dems lost all power and had to be anti poor to get back.
The Meagan Days and other TYT folks are acting in usual anti Dem bad faith, but Jamelle's usually pretty measured in his critiques.
And now he is really doubling down on it, even ending on it. Wow!
Unemployment definitely needs an infusion of funding, but people need immediate monetary relief here, so downtalking giving cash out is a terrible look.
Even an argument where we send checks for three months and then re-assess in the summer would be better.
Sure. I think I criticized Jamelle for an argument he made about the Democratic Party being outflanked to the left on this a couple of days ago, but if he wants to criticize the leadership specifically, that's another story. I definitely agree with his assessment about why the leadership is cold on handing out cash.
I mean $1000/$2000 checks aren't going to help much if they're not targeting those actually being affected. I'm not losing money right now but tons of service industry people in my area are, so how is me getting an extra couple thousand dollars cool?
The best way to help folks being impacted by the virus is to immediately beef up unemployment insurance and other social services. Right at this moment all the usual restrictions on applying for unemployment benefits should be waived.

Chloroquine and hydrochloroquine are anti-malarial drugs, but used for quite a few different things, one being auto-immune diseases and immunodeficiency. Scientists in Brisbane have been having early success with using it as a treatment.
Key word early. He's going to make people think a treatment will be down the street at CVS within the month.
You get it to people that are doing fine as well in hopes they spend it. You want it going into the economy.

Tens of thousands my ass. Testing is still so fucking slow you wouldn't believe it
Well, the drug is already widely in use, so if it is actually effective, then that's great and an "easy" fix. The issue is production, because it's not like acetaminophen or something where there's piles of it just sitting around.
