Trump says coronavirus crisis will ‘get worse before it gets better,’ pleads with Americans to wear masks

In his first official press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic since April, President Trump on Tuesday admitted that the public health crisis is likely to worsen as cases surge across the country and asked all Americans to wear masks in public.

While Trump hailed his administration’s response to the pandemic and the work toward developing a vaccine, he bluntly disclosed what many Americans already know: that the crisis is likely to spread more before it can be contained.

“It will get worse before it gets better,” Trump said of the pandemic that has infected close to 4 million Americans. “That’s something I don’t like saying but it is.”

Trump’s comments come after weeks where he either downplayed the virus’ continued spread or focused on other issues – from unrest over racial injustice in American cities to the removal of Confederate statues – despite cases of COVID-19 surging, particularly, in parts of the south and southwest.

Noting the concerns among many of his supporters that facial coverings impinge on their personal freedoms, Trump pleaded with Americans to wear masks out in public to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“We’re asking everybody when you’re not able to socially distance to wear a mask,” Trump said.

Eleven Secret Service Agents Test Positive For COVID-19 And Fears Of It Spreading Through The White House Are Mounting

Eleven members of the US Secret Service have tested positive for the coronavirus as of Thursday evening, according to Yahoo News.

Documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seen by Yahoo News, revealed that the agency has 11 active coronavirus cases and an additional 60 employees who are reportedly self-quarantining. On top of this, another 23 members have already recovered from COVID-19, the diseases caused by the coronavirus.

It is not known whether the employees who tested positive for the coronavirus worked at the White House or if they had recent close contact with President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.

Both Trump and Pence get tested for the disease regularly but have not tested positive so far. However, Trump said this week that he would switch from having weekly to daily tests following the new cases, according to The Hill.

Justin Whelan, a spokesperson for the Secret Service told Yahoo News that the agency is following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

“To protect the privacy of our employee’s health information and for operational security, the Secret Service is not releasing how many of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19, nor how many of its employees were, or currently are, quarantined,” Whelan added.

The news comes as President Donald Trump revealed on Friday that Mike Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for the coronavirus. Miller, who is the wife of Stephen Miller — Trump’s senior adviser, and primary speechwriter — confirmed her diagnosis with NBC News, adding that she was asymptomatic.

Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant has also tested positive for the coronavirus, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported.

Katie Miller, Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary, Tests Positive For Coronavirus

President Donald Trump said that Katie Miller, Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary, tested positive for coronavirus.

Miller is married to Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s top advisers.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany confirmed on Friday that a member of Pence’s staff tested positive for coronavirus, but she did not identify who it was.

“There is a member of the vice president’s team who is positive for coroanvirus,” McEnany said. “We have put in place the guidelines that our experts have put forward to keep this building safe.”

Many more reporters were wearing face masks in the briefing room, a day after it was revealed that one of President Donald Trump’s personal valets tested positive for the virus. Trump and Pence took subsequent tests that came out negative, the White House said. On a call to Fox & Friends on Friday, Trump said that he was in the same room with the valet on Tuesday but does not recall any direct contact with the staffer, who is a member of the U.S. Navy.

My goodness, constant readers – Freeperville is a mess just now.

Let’s start with the worst of it – the endless Freepathon isn’t doing very well for some reason :

Woo hoo!! And our 2nd quarter 2020 FReepathon roars back to life!! [Thread XIX]

Prayers up for all the families suffering from the impact of this virus. And we’re still praying that the spread starts fading with the warmer Spring weather and that an effective treatment and vaccine are developed before the next flu season starts. And we pray that our people are allowed to go back to work very soon and that our economy comes roaring back.

Meanwhile, we may be hurt and slowed down somewhat, but we have faith in the long-run that “what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.”

God willing, America will survive and we will survive and we know our efforts will always be needed. The fight for freedom is never ending. We must remain ever vigilant, especially during these dire times. The haters of God and His gift of Liberty never rest. They never let a crisis go to waste.

Sounds like you’re having a little crisis of your own there, Jimbo.

Jim Rob likes to boost the Freepathon in its waning hours by posting the subscriptions all at once as if they were new rubes  donations, and then (allegedly) just make shit up about late donations at the end to claim victory.

So, all he should have to do to rope in more suckers is post some fake news about donations to show that he’s ALMOST THERE, and prompt readers to part with some real money so he can get the grift going again. Right?

However – I think he knows that if he does a “money is pouring in” post, Freepers who suddenly find themselves in financial straits due to the COVID-19 hoax will just sit on their pocketbooks, secure in the belief that other Freepers are carrying their load.

Let’s see how many replies so far to the “hurt and slowed down” bleg.

Hmm.

Zero.

Interesting.

Woo Hoo indeed.

You may have to sell that RV, Jimbo.

Meanwhile, in racist enabling :

Georgia high school seniors expelled after posting racist viral video to social media

CARROLLTON, Ga. (WSAV) – Two Georgia high school seniors have been expelled and will reportedly not graduate after posting a racist video on social media.

Two seniors at Carrollton High School posted the video on TikTok on Thursday, where it quickly went viral and spread across other social media platforms. The video shows the two students using the n-word and saying derogatory things about African Americans.

The students, one boy and one girl, can be seen in a bathroom mimicking a cooking show using labeled cups of water.

“First, we have ‘black’,” the girl can be heard saying, as the boy pours a cup of water in the sink. “Next, we have ‘don’t have a dad’.”

The two then pour cups of water labeled “Eat watermelon and fried chicken”, “Rob people”, and “Go to jail” into the sink, and skip pouring a cup labeled “Make good choices.”

The students were quickly identified, and Carrollton City School District Superintendent Dr. Mark Albertus issued a statement Thursday night.

“Please know this video is being addressed immediately and any student involved in the production of this video will face serious consequences,” Albertus said.

Well, there ya go!

If this didn’t happen at school I don’t see where the school has authority to do this. We are turning into China, by having a social report card of sorts. What’s next — you cheered Trump so we will penalize you. I see it coming.

My school district in CA (San Ramon Valley Unified) just settled for $650,000 when sued for doing exactly this.Maybe these kids aren’t racist at all. Maybe they are geniuses and figured out a surefire way to get $650,000.
