Chuck Schumer explained what Democrats were opposed to. In his words: “A giant, giant corporate bailout fund with no accountability — you wouldn’t even know what loans were made until six months later.” Two other big points that Democrats want to see movement on are increased funding for hospitals and necessary equipment like ventilators and masks, and increased federal funding for state and local governments trying to grapple with the growing crisis.Quote:

FAUCI SHUTS DOWN JOURNOS: POTUS HASN’T OVERRIDDEN ME, ‘NOT HELPFUL’ TO PIT US AGAINST EACH OTHER
Appearing Tuesday on WMAL’s Morning on the Mall, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accused D.C. journalists of attempting to pit him against President Donald Trump and affirmed there is no rift between himself and the president on how to combat the Chinese coronavirus outbreak.
(Listen from 6:04)
A partial transcript is as follows:VINCE COGLIANESE: It seems like increasingly a bunch of questions from the media are designed to create a rift between you and the President of the United States, at least, to emphasize differences of opinion that creates distances between you and the president. Are you sensing that as the media continually asks you questions about the differences you have with him?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: That is really unfortunate. I would wish that would stop because we have a much bigger problem here than trying to point out differences. They really, fundamentally, at the core when you look at it, there are not differences. The president has listened to what I’ve said with the other people on the task force have said. When I’ve made recommendations, he’s taken them. He’s never countered and overridden me. The idea of pitting one against the other is just not helpful and I’d wish that would stop so we can look ahead at the challenge we have together to get over this thing.
The current plan is for the Senate to reach their final bill and then try to pass the Senate bill in the House today by unanimous consent.
If they are, they shouldn't. As someone that doesn't particularly like either of the main political parties, what you say would not surprise me (but I have not heard of any specifics describing what they are trying to put into the bills).Quote:

This is why they should NEVER be given the majority again. Their agenda is more important to them than anything else.
So what. All of the facts coming out of the Pelosi shitshow depict the lack of maturity and lack of IQ incapacity, of the liberal leftist Dems, to lead our great country while they have TDS virus and lack reality of the situation.Quote:

I haven’t seen this either. But I would think limiting or shutting down immigration would be of highest priority since we don’t have beds, meds, or equipment to serve our citizens, much less anyone from outside our borders.Quote:

Mar 4, 2020 - Some 328 immigrants from China have been caught crossing the ... Actor Daniel Dae Kim credits 'secret weapon' for COVID-19 recovery
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 4, 2020
Some 328 immigrants from China have been caught crossing the border illegally so far this year, according to Homeland Security data that raises the prospect a coronavirus carrier could sneak into the country via the U.S.-Mexico border.
Three other people from South Korea — another country with rapidly spreading cases — have also been arrested at the border, as have 122 people from the Dominican Republican, where the coronavirus has now been detected.
All told, more than 1,000 migrants a day are caught attempting to sneak in illegally from Mexico, which detected its first case last week, and since has identified five others.
Decreasing immigration and border enforcement aren't the same thing. Given Tyler's link, I think the answer to my original question is no.Quote:

That way the merely lib Senate bill will be spun as a compromise and if Trump balks, why, whoa! political fodder!
As I just posted on another thread...we all get it, the Dems are much better at playing political games than are the Repubs.
Enforcing the law is "pork." What a piece you are.Quote:

No harm should ever be allowed to come to them as Trump stated yesterday. We all agree on BB&B and should around the country.

Fear and foreboding in New York...
San Fran Surge...
New Orleans is a sanctuary city
Louisiana has fastest growing cases in world?
And don't forget Seattle
Louisiana:
1,388 cases (987 cases in the New Orleans area, and 63 cases in Baton Rouge)
46 deaths
43 of 64 parishes infected (Bienville and Richland have joined)
The rate of those testing positive is down to 16%.
The 40-49 age group has the most cases, followed closely by 50-59, 70+, and 60-69. Not much differences between the numbers. And in Louisiana 58% of the cases are women.
Don’t forget that you want illegal immigrants to get tested, too. That is much more likely to happen in sanctuary cities.Quote:

Not only Mardi Gras but a Cher concert which occurred about 2 weeks ago. And some other events during the January to early March period. New Orleans in particular and Lousiana in general is a huge tourism destination. That includes a lot of foreign visitors. In my capacity at Melrose Plantation I have seen lots of folks from all over the world, with France being the #1 place of origination. So, of course, there was a lot of opportunity for exposure to this virus, in big crowds, people close together.
No, we don't want illegals tested...just toss them back across the border.
Certainly arguable. If that is the biggest poison pill from the republicans the Dems would be on shaky ground. It sounds like the repubs poison pills aren't too hard to swallow as we may get a deal with minimal adjustments. I think the backlash against the dems was a wake up call on this one. When even the liberal media starts calling them out they had to know they were in trouble.Quote:

The money for Boarder Patrol was so that the agents who deal with people crossing the border daily could have protective masks, gloves, thermometers etc. to screen and check people entering the country illegally since the borders are supposedly closed. Truth is they are not closed, because ports of entry are open due to allowing commerce to flow in and out of US. These folks need masks
Related and not surprising.Quote:

In other words, Fauci can’t persuade Trump to do what he thinks he should do if the media keeps pointing out where Trump and he differ. Putting them at odds, neuters Fauci because Trump can’t handle someone contradicting him.Quote:

I think a large part of the projection is based on how fast it spreads which would include some who are asymptomatic. The number certainly includes those who have symptoms so minor that they don't feel the need to go to the doctor. Would those be included in the 50% of asymptomatic cases? They have a pretty good handle on the flu numbers unlike this.Quote:

Saw some promising news about this virus. Researchers say it has slowed greatly in mutating, meaning they might be able to isolate its make-up to create a vaccine for it.
In other news, too many people are still ignoring the social distancing thingy. But, Natchitoches looks like a ghost town. My wife and I went for a long walk thru town yesterday. It's crazy quiet...spooky even.

a woman went to the Natch Hospital ER claiming she has been exposed to the virus. Of course medical personnel reacted as they are trained to do and treated her case as factual. Meant two nurses and one ER doctor had to be sent home for self-quaranting just in case. Turns out the woman lied saying she just wanted some kind of proof for her employer and that she would then qualify for up to 30 days of pay, while sitting at home, and also expected the check from the Federal guvmint too! Natch Police have arrested her and she is charged with making false statements. It's a misdeamnor and she now has a date in city court.
But, I think this is one of the two cases previously reported for Natchitoches Parish. If true, we have just the one case, confirmed, of the medical staffer at the Cancer Center.
