I'm not sure whether this belongs here, or over in the Covid humour thread.

It'll be interesting to see how his new briefings go. Trump would not permit the head of the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) appear before Congress. A week or two back he launched a smear campaign against Dr Fauci the nations number one pandemic expert.
It'll be interesting to see if we return to the lunacy of injecting bleach, or as is more likely the "briefings" are more in the nature of a campaign rally.
Trump's recent comment on the pandemic, "It is what it is," is correct as far as it goes. It is what it is because of his almost total inaction except to politicise it and monetise it.

Calling it Patriotic I think is the right move for the American Audience.
Dictating to Americans they HAVE to do something (even something in their best interests) will usually result in active resistance - it flies in the face of the individualistic mindset that has been fostered in the states.
Suggesting people do something likewise has a similar issue.
But calling something Patriotic, that evokes a sense of the bigger picture.

But perhaps Don could have had the Stars and Stripes displayed on his mask, instead of his plain black Dart Vader look-alike ... 8-)
I mean, no-one is disputing that Don is in charge of the "Death Star" (it's well understood overseas). But he might just want to consider
"softening up his image" for the home audience.

He was given a million for his eighth birthday and that was just the start. He (and some of his siblings) shared closer to a billion when Fred kicked the bucket.
According to his niece, before his father died, and while he was suffering from dementia, Donald J tried to get his dad to sign a codicil to the will putting him in charge of all the money. His dad would not sign. Trump's brother showed the paperwork to their mum. Her verdict was that it didn't pass the smell test.
It runs in the family. I read previously that Jr and Ivanka tried to get Donald to write Tiffany out of his will.
The greed knows no bounds.

Is it politically correct to consider taking a Russian-made product ? Would I risk being sanctioned ?

Was listening to Mike Hosking this morning (a thankfully rare event) and he was having a little rant about how Dr Bloomfield had mentioned that there is a high risk of Covid 19 becoming established in the community. Hosking considers this to be an admission that the government knows their policies are failing.
Had he actually listened to the news item he would have known what he was talking about, but why break the habit of a life time? Bloomfield's concern is that people on the staff of the isolation facilities, be they medical, housekeeping, or military, could catch the virus from one of their 'guests' and could have passed it to others in the community before showing symptoms.
This would seem to be a real concern but rather than see it as a failure, I'm pleased that they're at least aware of the problem.
The risk being as serious as it is with our current tight border controls, the calls for relaxing the controls from John Key etc appear completely cavalier.

It's fake news. This will be gone by then. Maybe they'll get a little sniffle and that will be it.
Although seriously, I've just spent a few days with a cold and the thought of having to make an interstate trip in that state is not appealing. Especially towing a trailer.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
