    Governors would like the fact that trump backed of his ‘total authority’ and ‘mutiny on the bounty’ talk.

    What do you think of it?

    McKinsey, what did you think of that? Both sides.

    Yeah, Trump embarrassed himself, I guess Barr told him even monarchy has its limits. Haha.

      What do you think of the plan, I mean? such as it is.

        I think that testing is going to be real problem for a while and you need to be very careful on that subject because if that is gating you can kiss our livelihoods good bye. So the plan has inherent risk but gives governors an excuse to open things up before they become destitute.

          I think for NYMag to bill it ‘both sides of the coin’ is part of the problem.

          As a former partner at a McKinsey competitor I could imagine working with either group.

            Yesterday: Three phase plan, states use discretion, etc.

              Whither has been pretty schizophrenic too, first with the toughest shelter in place orders and now plan to be in Phase 1 on May 1 and view to Phase 2 ASAP. Also she might be the VP and has been sharply critical of Trump.

              Now is there equivalence of a President’s behavior and a governor, NO.

              Trump just begs for and entices CNN’s bad behavior. There I said it.

                I usually don’t think - “that’s not real” when I see a Trump tweet. That was my first thought when I saw this one.

                  "Why did the W.H.O. Ignore an email from Taiwanese health officials in late December alerting them to the possibility that CoronaVirus could be transmitted between humans? Why did the W.H.O. make several claims about the CoronaVirus that ere either inaccurate or misleading...."

                  Fucking hell, he's got some stones.

                  Well either that, or he's completely off his head.

                  I was only joking

                    It's either an abundance of stones or a dearth of marbles.

                      Same.

                      Then I chuckled. The amount this president flip-flops makes John Kerry look like a statue.

                        Normally, I'd be laughing my ass off, but he's just sucked all the fun out of this epidemic.
