Yet another wailing cry about Orange Man Bad !!! from the BSMEDIA …

In an extraordinary exchange , U.S. President Donald Trump and the government’s top infectious disease expert , Dr. Anthony Fauci , publicly sparred Friday on whether a malaria drug would work to treat people with coronavirus disease.

The scene played out on national television during the daily White House briefing on the outbreak. Anxious for answers , Americans heard conflicting ones from a just-the-facts scientist and a president who operates on gut instinct.

Reporters asked both men – first Dr. Fauci, then Mr. Trump – if a malaria drug called hydroxychloroquine could be used to prevent COVID-19 , the disease caused by the virus. A day earlier , when Dr. Fauci wasn’t with him at that briefing , Mr. Trump had called attention to the drug.

On Friday , Dr. Fauci took the reporter’s question and got right to the point.

“ No ,” he said. “ The answer … is no “…

“ The information that you’re referring to specifically is anecdotal ,” Dr. Fauci added firmly. “ It was not done in a controlled clinical trial , so you really can’t make any definitive statement about it ”…

He went on to explain that the Food and Drug Administration is looking for a way to make the drug available for emergency use , but in a manner that gives the government data about whether it’s safe and effective. Dr. Fauci is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH and in more than 30 years has handled HIV , SARS , MERS , Ebola and now the new coronavirus.

Currently , there is no medicine specifically approved for treating COVID-19.

But Mr. Trump stuck to what his gut was telling him. As the two men took turns at the podium , Mr. Trump said he disagreed with the notion that there is no magic drug for the coronavirus disease. “ Maybe and maybe not , ” he said … “ Maybe there is , maybe there isn’t. We have to see ”…

He struck an upbeat note , while trying not to directly challenge Dr. Fauci …

“ I think without seeing too much , I’m probably more of a fan of that ,” he said , referring to the malaria drug … “And we all understand what the doctor said is 100-per-cent correct ”..

MORBNOTE ; Right there he states that he is ‘ optimistic ‘ about the idea … But states ‘ it may work , it may not ‘ … And then explicitly agrees 100 % with Dr. Fauci ! … ” SPARRING ” ?!!! …

Trump finishes of with this …

“ Look , it may work and it may not work and I agree with the doctor ,” Mr. Trump said … “ I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling. You know , I’m a smart guy. I feel good about it … You’re going to see soon enough.”

Now , I watched this press release live … I saw absolutely nothing … Nada … SQUAT !!! … That could fall anywhere near the realm of possibility to describe the speaking points of both Trump and Dr. Fauci as ‘ sparring ‘ …

To the contrary , Trump was stating his ‘ hopes ‘ that efforts ‘ may be successful ‘ and that the drug was being looked into … And the doctor was pointing out the scientific ‘ need to ‘ further study that possibility … Giving the audience straight facts …

THAT’S HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK !!! …

Trump REPEATEDLY stated it ‘ may ‘ or ‘ may NOT ‘ work …

What’s he supposed to do … Tell the American people … ” Nuthins’ gonna work … We’re ALL gonna DIE !!! ” …

And these same MSMorons continuously accuse the President of inciting panic !!! …

The past week has seen governments ask most people to significantly change their daily habits. The various restrictions and social distancing measures requested , and in some cases mandated, by government to tackle COVID-19 has been wide-reaching.

Everyone’s plans , everyone’s life , was put on hold.

Except one supposedly protected class of individual : Illegal border crossers.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wisely halted all non-Canadians from flying into the country and shut down the Canada-U.S. border to non-essential travel. But then the question arose of Roxham Road , the illegal border crossing that still sees over 1,000 people cross into Canada each and every month.

The bizarre and irresponsible phenomenon first cropped up in early 2017 , around the time Trudeau recklessly tweeted to the world’s migrants that “ Canadians will welcome you … #WelcomeToCanada”. ( PS. He still hasn’t deleted that post. )

It’s since gone from being a patch of grass into a fully-staffed one stop shop for anyone who wants to skirt the usual protocols , jump the queue and apply for asylum in Canada on their own schedule and on their own terms.

The sensible thinking was that closing the border meant just that , closing the border , and that this would apply to Roxham Road as well.

But the Liberals then confirmed that the illegal border crossing they love to defend would remain open.

Their caveat was that the claimants were being housed for 14 days to make sure they don’t have the virus. It’s troubling that they didn’t stress this from the get go.

That soon appeared to be fake news though , as the head of the border agents union told Postmedia publication The Montreal Gazette that this just wasn’t true. They weren’t being put into the same isolation as a Canadian citizen returning from, say , Florida was expected to do.

Finally , on Friday , Trudeau announced that anyone attempting to enter the country at Roxham Road would be turned back. He said this had been decided in agreement with the United States.

Yeah !!! … The Trumpster probably told him to quit kissin’ KBec ass !!! …
