Newly reported Covid-19 cases in the U.S. fell to their lowest level
in nearly four months over Presidents Day weekend, and daily reported
deaths declined sharply from a recent spike.

There were more than 52,000 new cases reported for Monday, according
to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, down from 64,938 a day
earlier and 89,727 a week earlier. The latest number was published
early Tuesday Eastern time and may be updated later in the morning.


Too bad the US couldn't get rid of Trump 6 months ago. No telling
how many lives that may have saved.
===

The best time would have been 12 months ago when he was still denying
that Covid presented any risk at all. Of course his real risk was to
his incumbency which he was acutely aware of.

Wasn't that the same time Fauci was saying that the US had nothing to worry about?
===

Do you have a cite for that? I don't remember it.

"On Jan. 21 - the day the first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was
confirmed - Fauci appeared on conservative Newsmax TV. “Bottom line,
we don’t have to worry about this one, right?” asked Greg Kelly, the host.

Fauci said, “Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind
of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the
Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major
threat to the people of the United States and this is not something
that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.”

===

Parsing his words, it seems like there's a bit of governmental double
speak going on. And of course it was still early in the epidemic
before people started dropping like flies in the north east.


Does Trump get your same consideration?

Hee, hee.


===

Hee, hee yourself John. What kind of consideration do you think he
should get? A cell right next to Bernie Madoff would be my
recommendation. They're both con men after all. Bernie got away with
it for a long time but his luck finally ran out. The same thing may
happen with Trump. Stay tuned and pass the popcorn.


Well Hillary and Bill seemed to stay out of jail.
