That was a scathing and comprehensive exposition of Don the pee pee Con's failures re Covid-19. Nothing was spared - not hte lies, not the campaign hat, not his pretense at knowledge on the subject, his lack of empathy for the passengers and on and on and on.
They finished with the fact that two of the three remaining candidates (all over 70) have underlying health conditions and suggested that campaigns and rallies may have to cease.

And now they return to said subject.

I know, you know I am fully aware of how bad things are going. Somehow them covering it like this, makes it all the more scary. I'm happy they are broadcasting the administration's utter failings here.
Homestly, I get very tired of the roller coaster of their coverage of Trump, they will go hard and then back down a bit, and then the cycle repeats itself...this morning they are doing a great job.

heard on the news that individuals from the cruise ship will be housed at a military base in Georgia. Now I have to calm their fears while the idiot in the White House has no clue. I feel for those people from that cruise ship who desperately want to go home to their own families. If our government had a real plan, all this helter skelter dodgeball would not be necessary.

The air force base near the California situation I think will be Travis. That is where they had some people before.

I live near there. I take public transportation to work. I'm afraid to get on BART.

after being exposed to the person at CPAC who has now tested positive. Now it gets real! When it becomes real to them, that's when they'll start to take more action.

I was also surprised to hear that this patient is now hospitalized! That sounds even worse than simply testing positive!
