In a present that George Orwell only envisioned as a sometime future...
The President's Coronavirus Task Force had their first press conference since April.
VP Pence came on and said:
1. we are flattening the curve 2. infections are dropping 3. deaths are going down
...and that we have President Trump's leadership to thank for this great news.
Those things are not only wrong, but are 100% the exact opposite of what is happening.
100% in contradiction of the facts right in front of everyone's face.
Oh, yeah...the Trump Administration sued to take health care away from millions of Americans today. Must be because we don't need health care any more, what with the Coronavirus practically eradicated from the US as of today.

P.S. VP Pence wasn't wrong about everything...he was correct when he said we have President Trump's leadership to thank.
Never in our lives should we have to worry that our government would gladly let us die in exchange for political expediency. I'm talking actual people dying who didn't need to.
"Snohomish County could revert to Phase 1 amid spike in cases The latest weekly tally shows the highest COVID-19 case jump since late April. Wear a mask, leaders say.
The county is currently out of compliance for three of five key factors to qualify for Phase 2. Under the governor’s “Safe Start” plan, both county officials and the state Secretary of Health can revert a county to a previous phase. Increased activity and a lack of social distancing and mask-wearing are contributing to the spike, local leaders said."
Gdammitshitfuk. I was afraid we'd have to redo this mitigation shitt.

The worst part is that we tanked large swaths of the economy, while tens of thousands of people died, to try and get this under control...and the money and lives will be wasted by fuckin morons who can't wear a fuckin mask, and shithead governors in states that opened up without even trying to stem the spread.
We had a great head start on Europe, and our idiot orange figurehead and his stupid ballwashers in the Senate and the citizenry at large ignored it all. We saw how to do it right, and ignored it.
The experts told us how to absolutely not do it, and we did it exactly that way, cuz fuckin derp derp derp emails Benghazi derp fuckin idiots.
I saw the pic of him at the coronavirus party. No one wearing masks. I was about to say this is an instance where stupid actually hurts.
But wait...
"On Wednesday – two days after Cain was said to have tested positive – he tweeted his apparent support for South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s decision not to require mask-wearing or social distancing during Trump’s upcoming visit to Mount Rushmore"
"GOP Senator (Rand Paul) Says We Shouldn't Presume Experts Know Best About Coronavirus Response"
Whaaa? Experts don't know better than uneducated masses? Well then who does, Rand?
Stupidity in D.C. is gonna get us all killed.
I listened to the testimony. You are twisting what was said. Why should we take advice from Fauci and other “experts” when there are thousands of other medical doctors in this country who do not agree with much of what a Fauci says? Are you saying thousands of medical doctors are not experts? If covid-19 is so unprecedented and so little initially known about it, then how can anyone really be an “expert” on it?
