There's drug combo to shorten coronavirus, French researchers say

Researchers in France have issued a statement detailing how a combination of antimalarial medication and antibiotics could be a vital weapon in the battle against coronavirus.

Joe Biden is using this crisis as a political weapon. In fact, his campaign is fundraising off of COVID-19. Yes, Biden is actually trying to raise money in the middle of a pandemic.

As the country comes together to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden seems to think that it was all President Trump’s fault.

In a recent statement, he accuses the president of “dithering on preparing” for the pandemic, and “lying” about the federal government’s response.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane. On Jan. 21, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in the United States. Just 10 days later, on Jan. 31, President Trump declared a public health emergency, implemented quarantines and announced a ban on travel to and from China.

On the very same day, Biden called the president’s response “hysterical xenophobia”, and “fear-mongering”. To this day, Biden is STILL against travel bans of any kind — even though Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the bans saved us from untold amounts of suffering.

In April 2009, during the H1N1 outbreak (or N1H1, as Biden mistakenly called it), Obama’s Health and Human Services Department quickly declared a public health emergency. However, the Obama/Biden administration failed to declare a national emergency until October 2009.

By that point, over 1,000 Americans had been killed by the disease and tens of thousands more were infected. In the first year of the H1N1 pandemic, nearly 13,000 Americans lost their lives .Ultimately, over 60 million Americans contracted the virus, and hundreds of thousands were hospitalized.

The Obama/Biden administration NEVER implemented a mandatory quarantine. The Obama/Biden administration NEVER enacted a travel ban. The Obama/Biden administration NEVER created drive-up testing sites.

Someone might want to remind Vice President Biden.

there are in the neighborhood of 30 developed countries which have government controlled healthcare plans, which cover everybody and have better healthcare metrics than we do. They all cost in toto around half per capita of what ours does. They've been doing it for decades. Clearly it can be done because it is being done. Pick one and put it into effect here. They've done it. Bernie can it too.

The question remains: How is he going to pay for it?

So Bernie's tax leaves the dead billionaire with a mere $250.000.000. What robbery! How can anybody like his heirs possibly live on a mere quarter billion dollars. They'll be homeless! Out on the streets!

They'll be homeless! Out on the streets!

CNN's Jake Tapper under fire after admitting he didn't fact-check AOC

CNN anchor Jake Tapper was criticized on Sunday for not correcting a claim made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., about President Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

"We're hearing every step from this administration- first, we were hearing it was a hoax...." Ocasio-Cortez told Tapper.

"AOC just repeated the lie that President Trump called coronavirus a "hoax." This is not true, and has been debunked by numerous fact-checking sources. This would've been a great time for a fact check, @jaketapper," Trump campaign rapid response staffer Abigail Marone said.

Tapper responded, acknowledging what Ocasio-Cortez said wasn't factually accurate.

"I thought about it, because the president did not call the virus a hoax," Tapper tweeted. "But I didn’t ... while I agree that Democrats are mischaracterizing what he said...it’s tough to justify taking the time for a fact check "

"Translation: 'I knew AOC was lying. I let her lie. Because I wanted to,'" Epoch Times writer Jeff Carlson tweeted.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., missed a crucial Senate vote Sunday to hold a livestream from his home in Burlington with “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

Sanders again reiterated that the federal government must act “no matter what the cost” to stem the economic damage from the pandemic. “We must act in an unprecedented way, don't matter what it costs,” the senator added. “That means the guarantee [to] every man, woman and child in this country that we will make them hope and we're not going to leave them out.”

Sanders repeatedly has called for “emergency cash payments” to be sent to every American each month for the duration of the pandemic.

The White House and congressional Republicans have supported similar payments, albeit on a smaller scale.

At one point in the live stream Sanders said: "OK, now some of the second-rate politicians are offering y'all some free ****, but it's miniscule. I'm offering you MORE FREE ****, so vote for me!"

Mr. Trump has not cheated on his taxes.
