If youre hoping with Shiff & Nadler for another impeachment investigation of Trump mishandling the corona problem keep dreaming.....In a way I hope the communist democrats bring another one on it just helps with more votes for President Trump in November....Bring it on fuckheads it will fail miserably just like the Russia hoax....
Actually, I think Trump’s “mishandling the corona problem” - as you put it - will be more than enough in November to make his impeachment a moot issue. Not that I think stupidity and gross negligence are impeachable offenses anyway. I just think that half a million dead by November from Covid 19 - on HIS watch – will make Trump a one term president, no matter who the Democrats nominate.
It’s my own “model”, and if you know how good my NFL projection model is, then you know we’re probably all pretty safe Loser!@#0. That said, common sense, the current trends, and what the “experts” say about a second wave tsunami of Covid 19, makes me think – just like a stopped watch – my model may be, this time, closer to right than wrong.
I guess the Loser!@#0 wasn’t meant for me right. I do see a ATS below 46%....and maybe that is why you say we are all safe.
The so called experts with their ever changing models can’t get it right but now you want us to believe your numbers?
500 million dead in the US by November....so 400,000 more dead in 6 months
That is some serious doom and gloom.
I choose to believe we won’t be close to that number and pray I’m right and your number is way off.
Half a mill dead in the U.S. by November? You coo coo, brother.
I already offered you an over / under bet with generous odds for numbers you posted, projected a couple of weeks ago. You never even responded.
Your numbers are about as accurate as saying the Chiefs are 1-1 to be the worst team in the NFL this upcoming season. Ridiculous.
I do numbers too. What's your over / under for U.S. deaths by November, again? How much you wanna bet? This is a betting forum.
Andrew Cuomo Scrambles to Change Nursing Home Virus Policies as Democrats Call for Independent Investigation

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo finds himself engulfed in scandal as a growing number of Democrats join state Republicans in demanding an independent investigation into his controversial policies and how questionable actions may might have contributed to the catastrophic outbreak of coronavirus in New York nursing homes.
More details have emerged in recent days raising major questions about potentially fatal decisions made under Cuomo’s watch as the death toll in New York’s nursing homes swells to over 5300 and continues to climb.
The center of the storm surrounds a controversial March 25 directive prohibiting nursing homes from testing recovering hospital patients prior to intake. This while Cuomo’s aides reportedly quietly worked to shield nursing homes from lawsuits due to coronavirus following lobbying by industry representatives.
The March 25 executive order in question stated, “[nursing homes] are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”
Last week, New York suddenly disclosed more than 1,700 previously unreported deaths at nursing homes and adult care facilities. An Associate Press tally put the number of nursing home virus deaths at over 5300. Elderly care fatalities in New York have reportedly been on the rise by an average of 20 to 25 deaths per day for several weeks.
Cuomo is under more scrutiny after the New York Times revealed that his aides “quietly inserted a provision on Page 347 of New York’s final, voluminous budget bill” that provided what the newspaper characterized as “unusual legal protections” for nursing home operators.
The measure, which followed intensive lobbying efforts by nursing home representatives, protected elderly care facilities from lawsuits in the event that they are accused of failing to protect residents from coronavirus. The legislation was included inside a budget that was approved by the State Legislature on April 2.
In other words, after an executive order seemingly ensuring that nursing homes can continue to be filled with clients by barring testing for incoming residents, Cuomo’s aides reportedly quietly shielded those same homes from many lawsuits arising from coronavirus outbreaks.
Amid the ensuing outcry, Cuomo established an inquiry under the auspices of his own health department as well as the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat. That led to Republicans calling for an independent probe.
Now some Democrats are joining the Republican chorus demanding an independent investigation.
New York Assemblyman Ron Kim, a Democrat, savaged Cuomo on Twitter:
The governor’s flip-flopping policies on nursing homes must be held accountable. First, they tried to keep the virus out by denying access. Then they tell unprepared facilities to take in #COVID19 patients. Now they are back to keeping the virus out again

Coronavirus patients are being readmitted to NY nursing homes
New York Governor Cuomo revealed he was unaware of a state policy that permits nursing home residents to be readmitted to their institutions, even after testing positive for coronavirus.

The profit-driven nursing home model was already broken way before this pandemic and everyone knew this, including @NYStateofHealth
So why would you send #COVID19 patients back to these under-equipped facilities? This was arguably the deadliest decision in American history.
“It’s fine to have the Health Department and the attorney general looking at what individual nursing homes are doing. But there needs to be a professional review of not only the industry as a whole but what the Department of Health has been doing, both leading up to this situation and in the midst of this situation,” said New York Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, a Democrat. “Certainly, it would be wrong for the Department of Health to be charged with examining itself.”
“The attorney general should bring in outside counsel,” said Gottfried.
State Sen. Gustavo Rivera, a Democrat from the Bronx, said the State Legislature should investigate.
“I strongly believe that the Legislature is one of the key entities that should look into this issue, which has devastated so many families across our state,” said Rivera, chairman of the Senate Health Committee. “It is imperative to hold public hearings as soon as possible to get to the bottom of what truly happened at our state’s nursing homes as the COVID-19 pandemic developed.”
The massive number of dead prompted Cuomo earlier this week to issue a series of new regulations, including requiring staff at all nursing homes to take two virus tests per week. He also said that hospitals can no longer send coronavirus patients to nursing homes.
“We’re just not going to send a person who is positive to a nursing home after hospital visit. Period. If there’s any issue, the resident must be referred to the department of health which will find alternative care,” Cuomo further explained on Sunday.
An aide to Cuomo claimed the announcement was not a reversal, insisting instead it was a new policy based on the increased availability of testing and more hospital space.

Unfair! Throwing my own numbers right in my face! Very uncool, dude.
Thing is, the numbers of dead have doubled every month, the past three months, and although I keep watching for a decline (and probably praying even harder than you), it hasn’t happened yet. But, I’m hopeful it will happen in the next 3-4 months, probably leveling off at about 175 million, by the end of August – and then we’ll see if that “second wave” hits with the cooler weather. If it does, something like 400-500 thousand by November is not that far-fetched at all - and Trump will be toast, even if the Democrats nominate a real donkey (which, if it's Biden, they already have). Trump will own that number, no matter who he blames; and with an economy still in tatters, not even the Red Herd will save him.
Coumo's popular only because good and smart democrats, a minority in their party, know Biden can't win
The vote for a living crowd doesn't give a shit if he's senile, it's all about "me" to them

No excuse for what he did.....183 beds were used out of 1,000 on the hospital ship comfort they couldve sent them there....Same with Javitz center plenty of beds.....I bet NY getting the fuck sued out of them over a lot of these needless deaths....Cuomo is. Killer & should be in jail but same old story the Republicans have no spine to hold anybody accountable.....
Are you just slow, stupid, or too intoxicated by FAUX-News fictions to see reality. Your hospital ship Comfort REFUSED to take Covid 19 patients, and the Javitts Center wasn’t even open when Cuomo’s order went out. And this is old news. I don’t even like Cuomo, but the gibbering of the stupid I like even less.
Don’t know a lot about the other stuff, but – no question – DeSantis has to this point handled the Covid 19 pandemic well for Florida. Considering the high number of elderly and at-risk people the state has, Floridians have shown themselves to be smarter about this disease than a lot other states – especially NY. If DeSantis can continue to resist Trump pressure to reopen randomly and too quickly, he could be one of two red state governors to come out of this untarnished by stupidity, and more or less, heroically.
The media has fawned over Cuomo because, compared to Biden and the orange blimp, he’s good TV – and that’s about it. As difficult as Trump will make it for him, DeSantis best path is to stay the course, his political future is at stake.
