SouthernCal_Dem's JournalMiami-Dade ICUs at 146% capacity with coronavirus patients, according to federal document
Source: Yahoo News
WASHINGTON Hospitals in the Miami area have been so overwhelmed by coronavirus patients that intensive care units are now operating well beyond full capacity, according to a federal pandemic update obtained by Yahoo News.
The information comes from the senior leadership brief for July 27 prepared by the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, and distributed to federal agencies involved in the pandemic crisis. The document includes detailed analyses on various aspects of the crisis, from emerging hot spots to supply chain updates.
In the section titled Medical care, the document notes that in Florida, hospitalizations increased 79% since July 4, with 8,974 current COVID-19 patients; ICU beds in Miami-Dade County at 146% capacity.
<...>
The document also reported hospitals reaching capacity and an emergency response system under strain in Georgia, as well as diminishing hospital capacity in South Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. Those states reopened more eagerly than their counterparts in the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest, and have recently experienced high coronavirus case counts.

Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube scrub platforms of viral video making false coronavirus claims
Source: CNN
(CNN Business)A video featuring a group of doctors making false and dubious claims related to the coronavirus was removed by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube after going viral online Monday.
The video, published by the right-wing media outlet Breitbart News, featured a group of people wearing white lab coats calling themselves "America's Frontline Doctors" staging a press conference in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC.
President Trump shared multiple versions of the video with his 84 million Twitter followers Monday night despite the dubious claims running counter to his administration's own public health experts. Spokespersons for the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
During the press conference, a speaker who identifies herself as a doctor makes a number of dubious claims, including that "you don't need masks" to prevent spread of the coronavirus, and that recent studies showing hydroxychloroquine is ineffective for the treatment of Covid-19 are "fake science" sponsored by "fake pharma companies."

NYT: Trump was never invited to throw out the first pitch at Yankee stadium and was jealous of Fauci
WASHINGTON An hour before Dr. Anthony S. Fauci threw the first pitch at the season opener between the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals, President Trump stood on the briefing room stage at the White House and declared that he, too, had been invited to throw out his own opening pitch.
Randy Levine is a great friend of mine from the Yankees, Mr. Trump, referring to the president of the baseball team, told reporters on Thursday as Dr. Fauci was preparing to take the mound. And he asked me to throw out the first pitch, and I think Im doing that on Aug. 15 at Yankee Stadium.
There was one problem: Mr. Trump had not actually been invited on that day by the Yankees, according to one person with knowledge of Mr. Trumps schedule. His announcement surprised both Yankees officials and the White House staff.
But Mr. Trump had been so annoyed by Dr. Faucis turn in the limelight, an official familiar with his reaction said, that he had directed his aides to call Yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from Mr. Levine to throw out an opening pitch. No date was ever finalized.

Trump claims trending twitter topics which are about him are "illegal"
President Donald Trump complained on Twitter Monday about Twitter trending topics.
Yes, Twitter trending topics.
Its unclear what trends set off the president in particular, but he tweeted, So disgusting to watch Twitters so-called Trending, where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one.
<...>
They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and blow it up, trying to make it trend, Trump added.
He even went so far as to actually claim that whats happening is illegal.

We just hit 150,000 COVID-19 deaths according to worldometer
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/4 people died in Benghazi and Republicans had hearings for the next 4 years. That's 1 year for every person who died in the attack.
Dems should have coronavirus hearings for the next decade at a minimum.
Also, we need criminal investigations and prosecutions.
These people need to see the inside of jail cells for what they've done to the American people.
The White House inadvertently reveals the fact Trump doesn't give a shit about national security
Shouldn't the President of the United States be meeting with his National Security Adviser almost every fucking day?
Announcing the infection on Monday, the White House said in a statement there was no risk of exposure to Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.
The announcement caught some White House staff off guard, as there had not been an internal memo about it, one source said. Because of the regular testing regimen, White House officials do not reliably wear masks while working in the West Wing.
An administration official said O'Brien had not had contact with the president in several days. The National Security Council did not immediately respond to questions about O'Brien, who was working from home.

Trump's days consist of eating buckets of KFC while downing diet coke and watching Fox News.
This guy is the laziest president in history.

President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, has tested positive for Covid-19, according to an official familiar with what happened.
O'Brien's diagnosis marks the highest-ranking Trump administration official known to have tested positive. It's unclear when O'Brien last met with Trump. Their last public appearance together was over two weeks ago during a visit to US Southern Command in Miami on July 10.
O'Brien, one of Trump's top aides, recently returned from Europe, where he and his top deputy met with officials from the UK, France, Germany and Italy.
A senior administration official told CNN that O'Brien has been working from home since last week.
