| Second wave
The issue of a second wave of coronavirus in the fall came up at yesterday's White House coronavirus press briefing, and Dr. Anthony Fauci said he is "convinced" that "we will have coronavirus in the fall."
The second wave issue, as well as a continuing discussion about when and how businesses and government will begin to reoopen, will no doubt be a primary topic at today's briefing as well.
Watch today's briefing live, or in full, here.
Then again, CNBC’s Jim Cramer says the briefings are "unwatchable." So, you know, be advised.
'He didn’t prepare!'
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on a 4 minute screaming tear about President Donald Trump’s lack of preparedness for the coronavirus crisis, tying it to Trump’s current insistence that there’s a “good chance” the disease won’t roar back in the fall.
It was quite a rant.
Odious and deleted
Former Trump campaign adviser Michael Caputo, currently a spokesperson for HHS, apparently didn't want people to see the slew of racist, conspiracy theory promoting tweets he's posted about the coronavirus.
But too bad because they're right there.
Save the Juggalos
The Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records announced the postponement of the annual Gathering of the Juggalos due to concerns over the coronavirus.
Maybe they should change their name to the Pretty Reasonable Clown Posse?

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano warned of major violations to civil liberties that might occur if authorities are allowed to use technology to surveil the public in order to combat the coronavirus.
“Don’t treat us like we are children. You work for us. We don’t work for you,” Napolitano said, adding that the people "have the right to bodily integrity."
'Behind us' by June “I truly do believe … that if current trend lines hold, that by early June, we could largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us, and begin to see our nation open back up and go back to work,” Vice President Mike Pence told radio host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) dedicated the latest coronavirus relief bill — which is currently being pushed through the House after passing in the Senate — to her sister “who is dying in a hospital” of the coronavirus, in emotional floor remarks Thursday.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) mourned for her brother, Donald Reed Herring, and reflected on his life Thursday after he passed away from the coronavirus, in a heartbreaking Twitter thread.
This is a stunning poll Forty percent of Republicans say the threat from the coronavirus pandemic “has been exaggerated,” while another ten percent aren’t sure — a drastic difference from the rest of the Americans polled. A Yahoo! News/YouGov poll published Thursday found stark partisan divides on a number of key questions related to public health and the state of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the most stark and alarming divide, on the question of whether a respondent believes the “threat of COVID-19 has been exaggerated?” 40% of Republicans said “yes,” versus just 18% of everyone else combined — Democrats and independents.
And there's even more that you should read from this poll. Good News The Florida Aquarium latest discovery could save the only coral barrier reef in the U.S., which is often referred to as “America’s Great Barrier Reef” and is the third-largest in the world. “Scientists at The Florida Aquarium have again made history, this time becoming the first in the world to reproduce ridged cactus coral or Mycetophyllia lamarckiana in human care,” the aquarium announced.
It's actually great news, and there's video, too. |
