COVID-19 is not the flu.

The virus effects people at varying seriousness, however, the recovery time past the two weeks of quarantine is usually substantial. 

I hope the First Lady and the President have mild symptoms and they recover quickly, but, that quick recovery is not a guarantee.

The idea that a president of the USA recovered well from a serious infection is hardly a reason to open the country when people are still dying in large numbers. The president is provided exceptional care and the rest of the country does not have that capacity. End of discussion.

I fully expect the First Lady to burn her green jacket of indifference. I expect penance to the travesty in leadership this administration has carried out.

I take it this is a little more than the sniffles, huh?

Really nice and very good news for Flint, Michigan.

Yes, it is affordable housing.

Flint (WJRT) - A pair of developers (click here) are receiving state tax credits for two projects that will create nearly 100 new apartments in Flint.

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority awarded nearly $2.8 million in tax credits for the projects from a program that helps create and rehabilitate rental properties in urban and rural areas. A total of 17 projects statewide will receive $17.8 million from the program.

Communities First Inc. and RAD Conversion Specialists are receiving $1.3 million for the Grand On University apartments, which will create 48 new living units.

Norstar Development and the Flint Housing Commission will receive just under $1.5 million for the Clark Commons II project, which will create 48 new apartment units.

The Sick American President

I don't want to hear a word about blame by anyone including Hope Hicks. They have been flagrantly ignoring and at times making disparaging statements about the people in the CDC, FDA, and NIH. This infection is the responsibility of the President and First Lady for ignoring important precautions.

What I find odd are the comments relating a change in the financial markets as if related to Trump's contagious illness. There is no historical reference to that potential. This may be the first and if it is, there has to be an understanding that only Trump will sew corruption into their favor as no one else did before. I find that reality outrageous and anti-American.

Besides The Fed is baby coddling them. It is October the beginning of the government’s new fiscal year. Honestly.

I am sure both he and the First Lady will survive the SARS-CoV-2 infection they opened themselves up to as they receive the best care the American people can provide.

They can no longer state this is just the flu.

We knew is was the super spreader of hate, now he is the super spreader of disease.

Now Mike Lee is positive. What is that all about? (click here)

Donald John Trump's sole focus is himself. He made sure he was able to attend a fundraiser in New Jersey before he was tested, too. Everyone in the area of Trump in the entire past week has to be tested. If they don't, they are being foolish. That includes Guilliani and Chris Christie.

To top off the corruption of the Republican Party, Bill Barr is breaking the law. (click here)

President Trump (click here) announced early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the novel coronavirus, two days after close aide Hope Hicks displayed symptoms. While appalling, it should be no surprise to learn, as The Post reports:

After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event.

The president did not wear a mask Thursday, including at the events at his golf course and on the plane, officials said. He was tested after he returned to the White House, but he also appeared on Sean Hannity’s TV show from the residence by telephone.

This is grotesquely irresponsible, but no more so than Trump’s insistence on eschewing masks (and mocking former vice president Joe Biden for wearing one, as recently as the debate on Tuesday), holding large rallies, pushing quack remedies, lying to the public about the severity of the pandemic and goading local officials to reopen schools. All these actions reflect his utter lack of regard for others, his inability to think of the welfare of anyone but himself....
