Consider that the only thing Trump knows how to do is bully, lie, bribe, and engage in underhanded, immoral conduct.
This tells me he knows there's a problem, and he knows mean tweeting, lying, and bribing won't help. https://t.co/Pwjv9zMR8B

what's not clear to me about this is we don't think the German national government wouldn't happily nationalize the company before letting this happen? https://t.co/t4HuPwQq3O

Germany ends any possibility of US stake in Pharma firm CureVac over fear that “America first” would apply to corona vaccine. The depth of distrust revealed by this episode is shocking even in these days. https://t.co/0sH8qk5oDC

The ignorance of @dhookstead here is stunning. Sacrifices for the common good defined the era. The idea that families that sent sons off to war, their wives off to munition plants, and lived under rationing would complain about a cancelled game is an insult to the generation.

I expect Devin Nunes to be stupid enough to contradict the advice of health professionals.
Shouldn't someone at Fox know better? Are literally trying to kill their own viewers? https://t.co/UmiOFaYpj1

When your own people are passing along bad information in a public health disaster, putting at grave risk your core viewership, you don't just take one show host — the least powerful — off the air. It's a professional crisis for every person working there. https://t.co/vK2iw4PSLM

The best face I can put in this is that it is risky to the point of recklessness. But if you are going this way, I recommend mass testing (to allow people to isolate while they are sick) and a lot of field hospitals with breathing support.

Difficult to overstate the extent to which the press has fanned these flames. Overblown coverage of isolated cases created a self-fulfilling prophesy. Nonexistent shortages of toilet paper got more attention than real and desperate shortages of tests. https://t.co/hSUbAPY8k0

Put another way, would anyone argue that South Korea's aggressive approach DIDN'T pay for itself economically if it averted Italy-level consequences? https://t.co/ampzHxkU1Q
