Late last night, ABC News reported getting a memorandum circulated to FEMA executives that the coronavirus outbreak had inflamed “34 Contacts from the White House and others” in recent days.
The new figures highlight the developing crisis in the White House and the efforts of government officials to block data on the spread of the epidemic. ABC News had reported in the past that a total of 24 White House assistants and their contacts had contracted the virus. It was not transparent in the FEMA memorandum with the largest number of “other contacts” referring.
If you’ve lost track of the public figures we know we have the coronavirus of this group, here’s a reminder.
However, it should be remembered that this story is not just about politicians who contract the virus. The White House is a functional construction with many employees, all of whom are potentially at risk.
Bloomberg reported overnight that a senior White House security official was seriously ill with Covid-19 and that Crede Bailey has been hospitalized since September.
The White House has not publicly revealed the identity of Bailey, who advanced to the occasion of President Donald Trump’s September 26 Rose Garden to announce his Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, who has been linked to more than a dozen cases of the disease.
A White House spokesman declined to comment on Bailey, who is at the level of the White House security office, which manages credentials for access to the White House and works largely with US intelligence in the security measures of the complex.
Lately, there have been 211,834 Covid-19 deaths in the United States. With an estimated population of 322 million, this equates to approximately 100,000 American deaths.
Here’s another excerpt from last night’s debate, one of the most memorable health care exchanges in the country. Kamala Harris has issued a stern warning about the administration’s intentions about Obamacare.
Trump will dismantle the Affordable Care Act, which prevents health care corporations from denying patients with pre-existing conditions.
“If you have a pre-existing condition, a central illness, diabetes, or breast cancer, they come for you. If you love those with a pre-existing condition, they come for you,” Harris said.
Pence responded by saying the Trump administration had a plan for others with pre-existing illnesses. Trump has spent years saying he would launch a comprehensive fitness plan. Four weeks before the election, and we haven’t noticed yet.
You’ll see many of them in the last few weeks before the election: Republican candidates are convinced that social media corporations oppose them.
The same old reaction to this is that subscribers have disappeared not because Twitter agents intervened to attack as Moran’s account, but because accounts were deleted or suspended for posting suspicious bot activity or violating the site’s terms and conditions.
However, this kind of bias opposed to conservative voices is one of the reasons why the president campaigned against segment 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides social media corporations with legal coverage over what they allow to post on their sites.
One of the points that has led to climate substitution to the US policy calendar is the excessive weather that coastlines have experienced this year, whether it’s wildfires in the west or a historic hurricane season in the east.
Today, Louisiana residents have cowered again when the state faces its sixth hurricane in 2020.
The observed typhoon is Hurricane Delta, the 25th typhoon of the unprecedented Atlantic season. Forecasts have put Louisiana’s peak on Delta Road, and the last National Hurricane Center estimated Friday’s landing in the state.
Meteorologists in the center warned of winds that could blow well above 160 km/hy up to 3. 4 meters of ocean water that could rush towards the coast when the middle of the typhoon touches ground.
“This season has been relentless. Prepare for the worst. Pray for the best,” said Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.
A hurricane warning was issued for part of the north coast of the U. S. Gulf. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Delta deserves to be a primary hurricane again, as it did a few days ago before crossing part of mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
So far, Louisiana has experienced primary movements and near-failures. The southwestern dominance of the state around Lake Charles, which is predicted to be in Delta’s existing trajectory, is still recovering from the August 27 landing through Category Four Hurricane Laura.
Nearly six weeks later, another 5,600 people remain in New Orleans hotels because their homes are too shattered to be occupied, the Associated Press reports. Lake Charles’s dominance waiting to be recovered, meteorologists have warned that Delta could be a bigger-than-average storm.
Edwards said President Donald Trump had agreed to point out a federal emergency declaration to the state in advance and that the Democratic governor said he expected widespread mandatory evacuations.
Lynn Nguyen, who works in the TLC seafood market in Abbeville, told the AP that each and every typhoon risk forces fishermen to spend days pulling a bunch of crab traps out of the water or risking wasting them.
“It’s been a tough year. As soon as you take out the traps and the fish, it’s time to remove them because anything is coming up there,” Nguyen said.
Lynn Guillory, executive director of the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce in Abbeville, said: “I think the tension isn’t just that of this year’s typhoon, that’s all, one thing after another. Someone just said to me, “You know, I’ve had enough. “”
Reuters has reported that the Taliban have welcomed Donald Trump’s tweet about the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan until Christmas.
It is “a positive step towards implementing the Doha agreement,” an Islamist group spokesman, Mohammad Naeem, said in a statement.
The Doha agreement, signed between the United States and the Taliban in February, drew up plans to withdraw foreign forces from Afghanistan after two decades of war in exchange for security promises from the rebel group.
One of the topics discussed last night in the Pence-Harris debate on hydraulic fracturing. Justin Worland of Time mag explains why:
The moderator of Wednesday’s vice presidential debate did not even mention climate replacement when current Vice President Mike Pence came on the subject, but when discussing the science of the challenge or proposing a plan to fix it, he sought to paint former Vice President Joe Biden’s climate position as a radical ploy that would destroy the economy.
“They need to abolish fossil fuels and ban hydraulic fracturing, which would charge thousands of jobs in the United States across the middle of the country. “At best, it was misleading, but perhaps most significantly, it points to increased climate substitution as a key factor in the presidential race.
The Republican strategy of seeking to hit Biden for the Green New Deal was completely exposed on Wednesday. When asked about the economy, Pence switched to the Green New Deal. After criticizing the administration’s stance on physical care, Pence switched to green new deal. the science of climate change, Pence turned to the Green New Deal.
Many Republicans now recognize that climate change is a genuine problem, and the long-standing strategy of wondering about science no longer works. However, many refuse to take vital climate action, largely because of the strong and persistent lobby of the fossil fuel industry in Washington. So, instead, Republicans have tried to paint climate action as unaffordable.

Jessica Glenza addressed the thorny amount of physical attention given to the president in recent days would cost the average American.
The answer, like all the rest of American physical care, is extraordinarily complex and very expensive.
Americans pay more for physical care than any other country, adding a pandemic. At the same time, Americans rarely know how much a given remedy will charge, even if they are receiving it.
Experts said Trump’s helicopter trips to and from the hospital, diagnostic tests and images, experimental prescription drugs, his own suite, 24-hour care and other non-public protective devices needed for excursions would charge at least thousands, if millions. Dollars
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it exceeds $1 million,” said Dr. Bruce Y Lee, a computer scientist who reads about physical care at the New York University School’s Center for Public Health, whose recent paintings have estimated how much covid-19 costs. remedy would charge an average American.

Following in the footsteps of Scientific American, NBC News reports that overnight, the New England Journal of Medicine broke with nearly two centuries of culture of criticizing American politicians for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
35 publishers have signed an editorial titled “Death in the Leadership Void” that does call President Donald Trump by name, but is full of allusions to his actions. Denise Chow writes:
For the first time for the paper, editors asked Americans to vote against leaders who did enough to combat the pandemic.
“In terms of responding to the biggest public fitness crisis of our time, our current political leaders have shown that they are dangerously incompetent,” the editors wrote. “We won’t have to inspire them and allow the deaths of thousands more Americans through permits that keep their jobs. “
“The reaction of our nation’s leaders has been insufficient,” they wrote. “The federal government has largely abandoned disease control in the states. Governors have reacted differently, not so much across the party as through competition. But whatever their jurisdiction, governors don’t have the equipment controlled through Washington. “

Here’s Jill Filipovic’s verdict for us: Kamala Harris walked the tightrope, still mopping the floor with Mike Pence.
This debate was less acute without Donald Trump going crazy on stage, but it was frustrating in his own way, especially for any woman who has ever been in a room with a man who interrupts and condescending. Pence interrupted Harris several times, which he rarely did. to him; she spoke to USA Today moderator Susan Page several times when she told her her time had passed; continually circumvented the regulations he had accepted in the past. The lack of respect for women was tangible and was repeated over and over again.
Harris was not so free to weigh his opponent or moderator. As a black woman on the national stage, I knew I had to walk along a thin line: to be friendly, but authoritarian; strong, but not “aggressive. “Interrupting Pence or even Page has had serious, sexist, consequences with an electorate who has never noticed a woman in the White House. But, for better or worse, Harris is used to Trump’s circus, so she has skilfully walked the tightrope. She is tough, assertive, funny and charming, while Pence is condescending and rigid.

This is the moment Kamala Harris ended Mike Pence’s attempts to stop it.
The moment re-taught on social media.
One of the butgrullates of fashion life turns out to be that conservative figures will tell you that freedom of expression is threatened and that the cancellation of culture is uncontrollable, and then they will check to cancel anything for expressing an opinion they disagree with.
White House press officer Kayleigh McEnany, sitting with a positive Covid diagnosis, dissatisfied with pizza last night.
One of the main exchanges in last night’s debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris on race and racism. NICquel Terry Ellis of USA Today has this breakdown of how it went.
Harris criticized Trump for his refusal to condemn white supremacy on various issues of his presidency. Trump sparked a firestorm in last week’s presidential debate when he suggested the Proud Boys, a far-right violent group, “back and support” Black Matter. The White House later said that the president had “always denounced” any form of white supremacy, despite evidence to the contrary.
Harris accused Trump of a “model” of racism, raising his ban on several Muslim-majority countries, tagging Mexican rapists and criminals at the launch of his campaign, and saying there were “other good people on both sides” at a white nationalist demonstration in Charlottesville in 2017 that saw a counter-demonstrator killed through a white supremacist.
“That’s what we have as president of the United States,” Harris said. “America, you deserve better. “
Meanwhile, Pence said there was no systemic racism in the United States when moderator Susan Page asked about Breonna Taylor’s police killing. Pence and Harris disagreed on whether “justice had been done” in Taylor’s case.
“His circle of relatives deserves justice,” Harris. Su life taken unjustifiably, tragically and violently. “
Pence said: “Our center is broken by all unproachable American life. But I accept as true with our formula of justice: a grand jury that examines the evidence. “
