>It's airborne in California, everyone is about to get it

Hopefully not everyone, but the two Tennessee [both GOP] knuckleheads certainly are to blame for the chain of events to to begin. The HHS staff was unprepared according to one of the senior staff members [whistle blower] who took notes that many of the staff didn't take protective measures when assisting the specific American cruise ship passengers that left the ship and returned to the air force base.

Tennessee doctor [Dr. Arnold Hopland, who runs a clinic in Elizabethton] got his GOP rep [Tennessee Rep. Phil Roe (R)] to overrule CDC & repatriate infected cruise ship passengers.

Then Trump's HHS sent unprotected, untrained HHS employees to greet these 14 infected evacuees. Trump had disbanded the pandemic response team. These HHS employees were not quarantined and mingled in the community surrounding Travis Air Force Base in California where the evacuees were supposedly quarantined. At least one HHS staffer stayed at a local hotel and left on a commercial air liner. About 10 days after the infected evacuees arrived, the woman from the area came down with Covid-19 and checked herself into a local hospital 10 miles from Travis.

It is now in our communities, thanks to a Tennessee doctor who had GOP connections strong enough to overrule the CDC. Then Trump's HHS and State Department made things worse by accepting the evacuees in the most incompetent, unsafe way possible.

The timeline, as posted by another poster shows that the affected hospital patient [CA native that wasn't a cruise ship passenger] was likely affected by someone affiliated with evacuating the ship passengers and may have spread covid 19 to that patient.

The first evacuees were were brought to Travis Feb.5. She first sought treatment Feb. 15

Travis AFB officials said Monday that 171 individuals made up the newest group of coronavirus evacuees at the base. The group of 171 people does not include those who previously arrived Feb. 5 and Feb. 7 at the base from the Wuhan area of China where the new coronavirus — officially named COVID-19 — is believed to have originated.

And the events will get worse because a jackass decided to think it was okay to
get rid of government staff that would have plans already in place to deal with potential massive outbreak spreads.

Snopes: Did Trump Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13022624

"It’s true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time."

The Trump administration does nothing that isn't specifically and directly attributable to Trump. It doesn't matter if John Bolton was somewhere in the chain of command, the buck stops with the guy in the Oval Office. And this "Ziemer's team was disbanded" sounds like nothing so much as "mistakes were made." Ziemer's team didn't disband itself, did it? Someone handed those people their walking papers and it was Donald Trump.

So....the jackass then hands off the chore to the 'christofascist' because that number two dud hadn't been doing anything. First decision by 'christofascist' is to order all federal health agencies faculty members to defer to him only where he [christofascist] will be the only person who informs the US citizens of what is happening.

The christofascist adds only finance experts to make up the committee that will uselessly attempt to deal with covid 19 virus by indicating that Wall Street is more important than US citizens and a healthy financial market can be beat any old global epidemic. *sarcasm, but unfortunately true.*

Meanwhile after another over 1100 dow jones drop [ie correction imo] the jackass complains to media on Thursday that his presentation performance was 'best' thing ever even though he is clueless and he is unable to fool anyone by his Wednesday evening crapshow pathetic 'calming' attempt.

Trump Throws A Fit Because Nobody Took His Coronavirus Press Conference Seriously

As PoliticusUSA’s Sarah Jones noted earlier on Thursday, the stock market is having its worst week since the financial crisis – a sign that just about nobody is confident in Trump’s ability to manage this global health crisis.

On Thursday, the president threw a fit that his made-for-TV coronavirus press conference wasn’t viewed favorably by the public, blaming the media for not raving about how “calming” it was.

“It would be really nice if we could be recognized by the press fairly,” Trump whined. “I gave a press conference yesterday that was really a very good press conference, and some people thought it was great.”

He added, “Basically it was a calming press conference. It was a conference to say we’re doing well.”

If there is another event to worry about is the fact that nearly 500 to 1000 US military personnel are still being ordered to remain guarding Syrian oil refineries. While Turkey illegally invaded Syria with Turkish militia months earlier in attempts to remove Syrian Kurdish villagers from Syria, it is now Turkish military versus Syria military and Russia military in several battles throughout regions of Syria over past two days.

I would not be surprised if the US forces that are being ordered to remain in Syria to guard the Syrian oil refineries might get sacrificed because the jackass in office thinks he is allowed to loot the Syrian oil for himself.

Turkey strikes Russian, Assad regime bastion Latakia, other targets in Syria with missiles

BY DAILY SABAH WITH WIRES

ISTANBUL POLITICS FEB 28, 2020 1:21 AM GMT+3

Turkey early Friday carried out missile attacks on targets in Syria's central Hama, northwestern towns of Nubl and Zahraa, as well as in regime and Russian bastion, Latakia, in response to the Assad regime airstrike that killed 22 Turkish soldiers.

The military also pounded Assad regime targets with artillery along the frontline in Idlib.

Earlier in the day, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan convened an emergency meeting over tensions in the war-ravaged Syrian city.

Security sources told Daily Sabah that all ministers and senior officials, including the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) chief Hakan Fidan, were present in the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Directorate of Communications released a statement on the Turkish offensive against Syrian regime forces.

It said Turkish forces have neutralized at least 1,709 Assad regime soldiers, as well as 55 tanks, three helicopters, 18 armored vehicles, 29 howitzers, 21 military vehicles, six ammunition depots, seven mortars and four Soviet-made DShK heavy machine guns.

What was documented in the Steele dossier papers [Fusion GPS services] in 2016 that was originally purchased by Jeb Bush during 2016 GOP Primaries and then purchased again by DNC and Clinton's campaign in summer 2016 now correctly points out that the jackass can easily be extorted because the jackass is owned by both Putin [Russia] and Erdogan [Turkey] regarding the jackass' real estate holdings that were supposed to have been sold or transferred before becoming president.

This means both Russia and Turkey will bend the jackass into a pretzel with possibly holding US military personnel still inside Syria as possible future hostages while Turkey and Russia are fighting each other inside Syria.
