“People who are dying of this virus are not dying to protect the American way of life. They’re dying because their government has had a completely ineffective response.”

Pres Trump said yesterday the WH will phase out its coronavirus task force. He explained by saying, “Well, because we can’t keep our country closed for the next five years.”

Today, a total about-face after backlash.

Trump saying now task force will "continue on indefinitely." https://t.co/hxmXcA3PSz

Even for Trump his reasoning on the task force continuing is bizarre. Not because it's needed and will help save lives, no, its because it's popular. You heard that right. The task force will continue because people like it.

President Donald Trump said his administration will urge the Supreme Court to overturn Obamacare, maintaining its all-out legal assault on the health care law amid a pandemic that will drive millions of more Americans to depend on its coverage https://t.co/32bfaNz8xk pic.twitter.com/PIVu8ZppD6

Reminder that without the Affordable Care Act, “people who recovered from COVID-19 and tried to purchase an individual health insurance policy could be turned down, charged higher premiums or have follow-up care excluded from coverage.” #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/Fjz2p5PNHh

I’ll be surprised if they actually announce anything. Experience to date suggests they’ll just keep noisily hinting to their mates that they’re definitely about to do it, in the hope enough of the public will just go back to work that they can shrug and say it’s not their fault. pic.twitter.com/secrgu71St

Testing figures down even on Hancock’s contrived & fiddled numbers. Stupid new larger figure promised.
AND YET still no apparent test, trace, isolate policy or any kind of testing strategy to figure in overall plan to tackle COVID. Nothing.
All PR distraction and deflection. https://t.co/NEpyIjzTsf

My @NewYorker Postscript for Florian Schneider of @kraftwerk — I’d guess most musicians in America owe some debt to this band. I love thinking about how ballsy & intrepid these dudes were; it takes a particular kind of visionary to leap into the unknown: https://t.co/l4zV7cPPWa
