    I think China has this decently under control right now. There could absolutely be more bodies, but the hospital videos are hard to block. When you've got an overwhelmed hospital, people are coming and going, and there's no information control on that. 

    There is no guarantee they could not lose control again, but the strategy is out there. Lock down, beat it into submission, then "test test test test test". Test the underpriviledged. Test the people you don't like. Test everyone they come into contact with. All free from the government. You're hungover? Here's an aspirin and a COVID-19 test, don't ask why just take it. It can work. 

    You realize that China is a country just like Russia in which they make their problems disappear right?

    Did I miss where President Trump said Drano had been used for a long time and was SAFE to consume?  

    Did I miss where President Trump said aquarium cleaner had been used for a long time and was SAFE to consume?

    Trump has been trying to give people the hope that the end of this pandemic is nearer than most think.  People hear what they want to hear.  No minds are being changed.

    Trump is trying to give hope on the Corona virus by blaming it on China, Obama, and touting fake remedies.

    No minds can change if they are glued to the Fox box and Right Wing radio.  Change starts with you.

    Just change your TV to any other channel and this won’t be a problem.  There is a majority in the media and it sure isn’t the right wing.

    These people consumed aquarium cleaner. They deserve a Darwin award. Anyone blaming Trump for that is being dumb.

    Darwin Award indeed.  Damn Trump for telling them to ingest aquarium cleaner!

    I love it when people jump the gun to blame the POTUS without having the entire story yet.  Oops...  😂

    Yes, blame people for taking the leader of the free world at his world. That really is a dumb idea, isn't it?

    I listened to his word.  He never told me to take a drug before testing was completed and without seeking the advice of a doctor first.  Thanks for proving my point.

    My point was this is another failed "what about"ism effort to try to excuse the President's irresponsible actions by falsely attributing them to someone else. 

    Or it’s just another excuse for the other side to put more blame on Trump for anything and everything.

    You can't actually be putting this guy on the same level of influence as the President.  I mean Mitt Romney proposed giving everyone $1000, two days later the President picks it up, and ever since then the Cult of Trump thinks it is the President's idea and is passing around "not your President" memes about the check like Romney didn't give him the idea.

    The simple fact is there is a vulnerable part of the population who hangs on his every word.

    It was sarcasm.  My point was, should we also blame Todaro for any Chloroquine deaths that occurred as a result of his tweet?  No, obviously not.

    The President should not say to use something until it has actually been tested and is a medically verified recommendation. He's the f***ing President. 

    He didn’t say to use it.  He talked about the drug being in testing and being hopeful that something good will come out of it.  Read my post again.  Have you actually been watching/listening to his COVID-19 briefings?  It sure doesn’t seem like it...

    You realize he's the President of the United States and the President endorsing a medication untested for a condition that is causing panic is going to cause people to take that drug immediately without regard for whether or not they need it or have other issues?

    Apparently not. 

    Where is the anger for James Todaro?  The blood from any deaths from misuse of Chloroquine before Trump mentioned it should be on his hands!  Afterall, he mentioned it first.

    I heard Trump say he was hopeful about this drug but it was still in testing, to see whether or not it would be harmful when reacting with COVID-19.  I watched the press conference and actually paid attention.  Some people would rather blame the POTUS for the idiotic self-medicating actions made by a few people.  I blame those people, not James Todaro or Trump.

    After 58 years on this planet revolving around the sun it is obvious to me that people would buy it and try it. It would have been better to not mention the drugs specifically. 

    Seems more like natural selection to me.  Trump literally said in his press conference today that they are testing the drug to see if it is harmful in its interaction with COVID-19.

    Wow, could you possibly slant this story more?

    Trump just said today that the drug is being tested and he is hopeful.  Your article says the guy self-medicated with it.  I don’t recall Trump telling people to take this drug on their own.

    Talk about “fake news”...  🙄

    Idiotic self-medicating without seeking medical advice is the reason these people are dying, not Trump.

    White Sox signed LHP Christian Friedrich to a minor league contract

    White Sox signed LHP Christian Friedrich to a minor league contract.

    The 32-year-old southpaw was a first round pick of the Rockies back in 2008 and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2016. He spent the 2019 campaign pitching for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization where he posted a 2.75 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 56/22 K/BB ratio across 72 innings -- following that up with a 63 inning stint with the New Britain Bees in the independent Atlantic League where he registered a 3.00 ERA and 63/15 K/BB ratio. It's a nice low-cost depth signing for the White Sox.

    At some point in the next couple weeks, we're going to have to have the conversation I brought up a week or two ago - whether these short term efforts are going to end up making things worse in the long term. 50% unemployment? Everyone on the government payroll? Economic shutdown until June? We're going to turn into a true nanny/socialist state with no hope of going back...

    Easy, you’re going to get Jack Parkman excited.  🤑
