Now why would you do this? Why not continue to get your news at Political.wire, Fox News, or the NY Times? Simple:
Because it make logical sense to listen to the actual experts who are in charge of this. Let's make no mistake here folks, there is literally nobody else in this country that knows more about this virus and the Government response than the task force. Nobody. If you think others do....
Well you are not just wrong, but willfully being stupid.
The truth is the more I read the uninformed, politically motivated, and often simply dishonest reporting of the virus (from both sides) the more it makes my blood boil. Every person who spent a day in a medical class believes themselves to be the expert. They're not. Every member of the media acts as if they have some special inside knowledge of thing. They don't. Ninety percent of what some of these people write is wrong. The other ten percent is a lie. There is literally no reason to read them or listen to them. Not when there are real adults who can provide you with real information.
Let's start with Dr Fauci. Quite literally he is ranked as the top epidemiologist. Not in the country, but in the entire world. This makes him the MOST qualified person on the planet. If he has an opinion and someone else has a different opinion. Guess what? You should listen to Fauci. If you are not listening to him, you are literally purposely choosing to listen to someone inherently less qualified. This goes for Dr Birx as well. A thirty year veteran in battling infectious diseases who was appointed to lead our nation's efforts to fight AIDs by former President Obama. Where Fauci's expertise is purely medical, Birx brings the perspective of being a former Ambassador and having some experience on the political side of things.
In terms of Government responses. I promise you it will be extremely interesting for you to watch the briefing. Everything you hear people "demand" that the task force should be doing? Guess what, they probably are. Today, a reporter ask why they do not take the advice of some Governor who demands that there should be one person in control of getting equipment to where it needs to go. Well it was Mike Pence who got up and explained that this person already exists, was appointed on day one, and explained what this person was doing (which turned out to be exactly what the critic suggested they should be doing). The person in question actually happens to be the head of FEMA (meaning getting supplies where they need to go is this person's full time job).
You will actually hear real numbers (not fake numbers). You will hear real analysis based on the work of top medical and statisticians (not opinions from people who normally would write about politics). You will hear about what is happening from the people who are doing them. Not hearing lies from people like Governor Cuomo who continues to lose his own supplies or apparently isn't aware he has warehouses full of stuff from the Federal Government that he believes he never got. There are reasons why many Governors complain. Because they all want a much larger portion of what is available than the experts believe is justified.
Oh... and they just want to complain. Look at what complaining has done for Cuomo's approvals?
Let's be clear. We all have an opinion and perhaps even some expertise. I figure I have enough statistical competence to examine whether or not the models are turning out to be accurate in terms of real time numbers. But I don't have a fucking clue about any of the variables that go into it. I don't pretend (as a computer engineer and part time blogger) that I know something important. I don't believe that I am more qualified than the experts on the task force to wield any sort of opinion.
It's easy to sit back and criticize. It also does about 90% more harm than good.
If anyone of you actually believes that a blogger such as myself, or John Hinderacker, or Stacy Matthews, or Taegan Goddard or any political writer from any news publication actually has any real expertise to question the policies of the task force?
Sorry... but you are just an idiot!

Coronavirus live updates: U.S. deaths pass 700 in one day ...www.washingtonpost.com ›
2020/03/31 == 42 mins ago
-------------The death toll in the U.S. grew by more than 800 on Tuesday
Sorry Lil Schitty.....watching trump sweat like Nixon yesterday showed me he finally pulled his head out his own fat white ass....Should have said all that weeks ago instead he perpetrated the fraud everything would be fine.....Did not need to see the BS yesterday to know he has been lying since day one, which you accepted and spread here....ANother sad day for trump and his ineptitude!!!!!!!
What I have been saying and thinking....
President Trump is enjoying a modest improvement in his approval ratings, and he’s also proud of the TV ratings for his daily briefings.
Trump should be alarmed instead. His approval ratings have risen far less than other leaders’ ratings during the coronavirus crisis, and Americans don’t seem to fully grasp the severity of the recession that’s coming as businesses shut down and millions lose their jobs. As a tsunami of hardship swamps the nation, Trump may find that his boasting and deflections backfire as people become more and more desperate for relief.
For now, Trump’s approval rating has risen from 43% at the beginning of March—before the coronavirus had shut down much of the U.S. economy – to 45% at the end of the month, according to the Fivethirtyeight composite of polls. Gallup puts Trump’s rating at 49%. By either measure, his approval ratings are close to the highest of his presidency, while his disapproval ratings are close to the lowest levels.
The gains are very small, however, compared with changes in approval ratings for other prominent leaders. Approval ratings for the UK’s Boris Johnson’s rose 15 points in two weeks, according to Morning Consult. Ratings are up 9 points for Germany’s Angela Merkel and 7 points for France’s Emmanuel Macron. Canada’s Justin Trudeau is up 11 points and Australia’s Scott Morrison is up 13 points.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approval rating has soared from 50% to 71%, as Cuomo conducts televised daily briefings on the crisis in New York, similar to Trump’s daily White House briefings. People normally “rally around the flag” and support their leader during a crisis, yet Trump seems to be badly underperforming, compared with other leaders.
Sure looks to me that trump should emulate Cuomo and his great, even, leadership.....instead he stretches the truth and sweats for the whole world to see what a fucking incompetent boob he is....Maybe Don Jr can come in and help Jared run the country deeper into the shitter!!~!!!
And the GW hoax continues as the US burns under trumps diddling....
Abnormally warm Gulf of Mexico could intensify upcoming tornado and hurricane seasons
Water temperatures are running about three degrees above normal, contributing to record warmth along the Gulf Coast.

But what you say makes much sense. Trump's favorable ratings should be skyrocketing upward, and they are not.

They are the highest of his presidency and more than sufficient to win reelection.
This is classic moving of the goal post.

Gov. Cuomo, Feb. 26: “I don’t want to tell NY’ers to stay inside. Go out”
Cuomo, today: Coronavirus “is more dangerous” than we expected.
Nobody has superhuman clairvoyance. It would not be fair to ding Cuomo about it nor is it fair to ding Trump.
However, their is one entity who deserves the scorn of every world leader and every person in the world.
The Chinese Communist government.
sas. So much life
That you and trump don't give a flying fuck about as thousands of americans will die because you your and his ineptitude!!!! Your bank account being drained to me is most amusing!!!!
People normally “rally around the flag” and support their leader during a crisis, yet Trump seems to be badly underperforming, compared with other leaders.
wow.
what a remarkable phenomenon.
flood 98% of the media with completely negative propaganda on trump's handling of the crisis, and then sit there in absolute amazement when you learn that the propaganda has been working and the American people believe it.
D: "trump was slow to react!!!"
R: "trump restricted travel from china on 01/31, while dems were busy impeaching his ass. meanwhile prominent dems like peloshee, de blasio, the nyc health commish, and even cuomo himself said "go out to restaurants and movies! go to chinatown! let's party!!!"
D: "yeah but... shut up!!!"
contrast that with the media here in NY where every single media outlet down to the village classified ad tear sheet has been lining up to sniff cuomo's throne and tongue-bathe his scrotum while swooning and marvelling over his nipple piercings, even when the only thing cuomo has really done is blame trump for all that is wrong and take credit for the few positives as our state has the highest numbers in the nation. oh, and the media coverage of younger brother fredo's wuhan lung AIDS is sickening in and of itself. i'm hoping fredo recovers just so we don't have to endure the most epic pity party in the history of the known universe if he croaks.
behold the power of a blatantly biased media.
Hey cramps....trump also said 15 cases would soon be zero!!!!! Funny how you fail to mention that!!!!!!

Yes, Ch, we can all begin more closely to follow the task force's Trump show, now that they have actually managed to reign Trump in a little. I actually felt somewhat sorry for him last night as I watched, he was so different, so humbled and chastened by having at last to face up to the grim realities that this nation and this world are up against.
It sure took him long enough to get to that.
Glad to know others are doing well financially.
while the left uses this opportunity to turn us into fucking venezuela.

Going behind the numbers you can see New York and New Jersey are driving their numbers.
According to the models they should peak around April 15.

And DeBlasio said to New Yorker to take the subway, go out on the town, take in a show as late as March 15 when it was clear New York was having a problem.
If there is any single factor that cause the horrible situation in New York City DeBlasio’s administration of the city would be at the top or list.
In contrast to that, your comment is just small and petty.
Trump is President, not DeBlasio.
But the Trump prediction of zero does indeed now seem small and petty.
Pelosi Partying it up in China Town was a stroke of pure stupidity.
However , their is bit one Country and Leader to blame, China.
Ditto to James
Again cramps missed the forest through the trees defending the complete incompetent trump and his worthless gut feelings....The only thing he feels in his gut is the gas generated by hamburgers!!!!!! BTW.....that date trump was calling the media out on their virus hoax......so put blame where it is due as trump diddled on the bully pulpit saying a certain drug would work and his followers took the bait and died.....you sick fuck!!!

A Safeway customer who couldn’t understand why a checker refused to bag her groceries turned to Nextdoor for an explanation. In a post Friday to her Pacifica and Daly City neighbors, she quoted the cashier as saying, “You’ll have to bag your own groceries, we were told we can make the decision ourselves.”
But the clerk did bag the purchases of the two shoppers in line behind her. Why wasn’t the courtesy extended to her?
The post received an astonishing 135 replies, several noting that in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Safeway and other stores have adopted a “hands off” policy when it comes to reusable bags. Apparently the shoppers behind her opted for either plastic or paper bags supplied by the store.
https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Why-clerks-won-t-bag-your-reusable-tote-at-15167508.php
my governor could suspend our single use plastic bag ban to help mitigate the threat, but he's too much of an asshole to consider such a simple and effective gesture.
Funny how all the dems here now claim to have gotten out of stocks before the market drop. I think they're lying.

I actually felt somewhat sorry for him last night as I watched, he was so different, so humbled and chastened by having at last to face up to the grim realities that this nation and this world are up against.
Funny... but I still see a group of people who are all complementary of each other (and especially complementary to the President). Trump does that Trump has done from day one. Allow the major questions about the medical portions to be dealt with by either Fauci or Birx.
You can go back to the beginning of this, and the President has not called for one Government action that was not in the best interest of the country and was not guided by the people surrounding.
IDIOTS in the media continue to talk about what was said by Trump waaaaaayyy back in the day, while selectively ignoring that Democrats were still arguing against social distancing long after the task force made it clear that it was to be their recommendation. From Democrats calling the China Travel Ban "racist and an unnecessary overreaction" to Pelosi, De Blasio, and many others encouraging people to keep going out and keep socializing. The media simply selects who's statements should be at issue and who's were irrelevant.
Can you explain, Reverend Hypocrite... why you continue to "harp" on early statements by the President while ignoring the fact that he was on board with the task for LONG BEFORE most Democrats were... and that all of his actual executive "actions" have followed task force recommendations?
Can you name one actual "policy" or executive "action" that Trump has taken that undermined the task force or that wasn't in line with being more careful than not?
One policy?
It's one thing had he actually demanded that we lift all restrictions after 15 days or by Easter (rather than just express that he was hoping we could). But he actually "did not" reopen the country yet, and it is the task force who continues to guide the policy.
Where do you get the rest of your crap?
from listening to partisan political journalist talk about a pandemic like they actually know something about it. Are you really that gullible to believe that some idiot blogger knows something about this worthy guiding your opinion???
Well, Ch
-- and please note that I do not have to talk and talk and talk to answer you the way you do with me --
I guess it escaped your attention that Fauci and Birx have repeatedly had to reign Trump in,* and it was only RECENTLY (in the last few days) that they piled so much evidence on his desk concerning what dire events are about to come to our country (and are already arriving) that even he had to stop harping on what a wonderful Easter opening up our country would soon be having.
_______
*Fauci was even compelled by simple scientific honesty to publicly disagree with the President at times.
I guess it escaped your attention that Fauci and Birx have repeatedly had to reign Trump in
In other words...
Trump is listening to Fauci and Birx just as I stated.
You just attempt to word it in a manner that sounds negative, because objectively just stating it as fact (that he listens to the experts) gives you heartburn.
So the question still stands...
What policy or action has the President taken that has not been in line with the recommendations of the experts?
Either answer it or admit that you have no answer.
Rephrasing the reality in a manner that makes you feel better about it is neither an answer or an actual argument. It's your own inability to deal with a President...
who unlike the previous guy..
Does not demand he is smarter than his policy experts or a better speech writer than his speech writers or better than everyone else... which our last President actually openly STATED, whereas you just imply the same behavior in Trump with no actual evidence that he believes himself to be smarter than everyone else in their areas of expertise.
LOL
Trump is FAMOUS for openly stating that he "knows more" than all his generals. And when he became president and asked Michael Bloomberg for advice on what to do, Bloomberg suggested that he should do what Bloomberg himself always does -- "surround yourself with people smarter than you" to which Trump replied that "there ARE no people smarter than me."
You asked me, Ch,
What policy or action has the President taken that has not been in line with the recommendations of the experts?
_______
In answer to that, are you not aware that his failure of leadership came precisely because he did NOT earlier listen to the advice of experts, choosing instead to follow a too little too late policy of denying reality while unrealistically hoping for and touting some miracle of a change that none of his advisers believed in. His reluctant lack of decisive leadership contributed to the loss of life and the lateness of our finally doing all that we can to turn this thing around.

Everything about Trump is perfect, especially his response to the emergency.
Thanks to the President's perfect leadership, 200,000 Americans will die from the virus.
200,000 dead Americans is a perfect total.

Now, when I count to three, you will wake up …
LOL Indy
But don't anybody get me wrong.
I agree that Fauci and Birx are EXCELLENT epidemiologists, and it took ALL their erudite powers of persuasion, as well as those of others, to finally convince Trump he had better abandon his delusional fantasy about opening America back up anytime soon.
They themselves described how they had to bombard his desk with info in order for him finally to "get" it.
And JUST as I surmised, it had a lot to do with his having the face the POLITICAL realities:
Why Trump Changed His Tack on the Pandemic
April 1, 2020 at 4:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 94 Comments
Gabriel Sherman reports that President Trump only shifted his tone as the coronavirus virus spread to “Trump country.”
Said one former White House official: “The polling sucked. The campaign panicked about the numbers in red states. They don’t expect to win states that are getting blown to pieces with coronavirus.”
With Trump it's always about HIM, first and foremost.
