so, news tonight that the Trump administration killed a deal to accelerate the production of ventilators because it was worried it'd end up with too many ventilators.

Debating whether to spend $1 billion on breathing machines at the same time you give billionaires $175 billion is pretty much the antithesis of "pro-life," you ghouls.

We can't have 50 states all competing against each other for the same live-saving supplies. The competition hurts all of us by massively driving up prices. We need a nationwide buying consortium.

Donald Trump’s ego will cost lives.

MA received 17% of requested medical supplies from the Trump admin. ME: 5%. CO: 1 day's worth. FL got everything they requested. + an identical shipment the next week. oh, and a 3rd is on the way. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

Amount of medical supplies the feds have shipped to various states, relative to amount requested: Massachusetts 17% Maine 5% New York 2% (and wait for it...) Florida 200% washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

Liberty University, which partly reopened its campus amid the coronavirus pandemic, confirmed they now have almost a dozen students sick with potential COVID-19 symptoms trib.al/eYwsP2y

I'm beginning to think some of Trumpworld's concern about Hillary Clinton's email practices was not sincere

U.S.: first case - Jan 20 * no early testing * no quarantine * 163,000+ cases * 3,000+ dead * adding >20,000 cases/day South Korea - first case - Jan 19 * testing 10k/day within a week * mass quarantine * 9.7k cases * 158 dead * adding <100 cases/day -> THIS IS SUCCESS

A thread:

Trump adviser working with WH officials on messaging for pandemic said Trump “took a gamble” that warmer weather would cause Coronavirus to dissipate, siding with aides pushing back on dire warnings coming from doctors. "He took a gamble and got it wrong,” adviser said.

Maybe employer-based healthcare isn’t such a genius idea after all...

The excuse from the WH was the POTUS gets distracted by this kind of thing.

Hannity. Rush. Dobbs. Ingraham. Pirro. Nunes. Tammy. Geraldo. Doocy. Hegseth. Schlapp. Siegel. Watters. Dr. Drew. Henry. Ainsley. Gaetz. Inhofe. Pence. Kudlow. Conway. Trump. Today, we salute the Heroes of the Pandumbic.

This is where we're at in buying PPE. An Illinois official sped on a highway to get to a meet-up in a McDonald's parking lot, where she handed off a $3.4 MILLION CHECK to buy N95 masks from China with 20 minutes to spare, beating other bidders. chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/20…

Medical insurance should not be tied to employment. That is all. #Covid_19

Throwing that stool freaks me out every time #hamilfilm #Hamilfilm

Imagine if Angelica Schuyler had given Aaron Burr the time of day...
