Who determined that these next two weeks are "Pearl Harbor Weeks"?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

I probably missed the "briefing" where this was discussed but how have TPTB reasoned that these next two weeks are going to be the worse for the Coronavirus Outbreak, especially considering how awful things already are/were?


Also, horrible analogy.

1. The present Surgeon General made that statement.

Also equated it to a 9/11. Too late for 9/11 - more people in NYC have died from Covid-19 than the terror attack already.

2. It's based on the probable peaking of the "curve"

If you look the projections at sites like this one https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

You can see the worst of it is forthcoming before it starts to subside.

I agree that it is a terrible analogy but at least they are admitting that it is real now. That is a step forward from last month.

3. That moron surgeon general.

He’s an idiot.

4. the cynicism of these pricks is bottomless

5. Cynicism?

Or nihlism?

6. you're right

that's the word I was looking for

7. I saw a tweet in which G. Takei called it a "Chernobyl" moment, not "Pearl Harbor".

A situation made worse by denial, cover-up, blame-casting, and ignoring experts

9. I saw that too

I'm reminded of W and the BIG RED THING coming (Katrina). It was right there! How the hell were you surprised?

I doubt I can find my post on it from 14 years ago. Was that really 14 years ago?

10. I saw that

It seems like a MUCH better analogy. It certainly feels like a slow-motion trainwreck.

13. This

8. The Rapture enthusiast Jerome Adams

11. K&R, the ones lying to us about opening up economy like Larry Kudliw

[Javaman]

12. the marketing geniuses in the WH.

they like to use hyperbole for their fuck ups.

as someone else said, this isn't Pearl Harbor, we were surprised as Pearl.

the orange asshole knew about the virus's severity for months.

if anything, this is a slow motion trainwreck created by the orange asshole.
