Day
weekend, and daily reported deaths declined sharply from a recent spike. There were more than 52,000 new cases reported for Monday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, down from 64,938 a day earlier and 89,727 a week earlier. The latest number was published early Tuesday Eastern time and may be updated later in the morning. Too bad the US couldn't get rid of Trump 6 months ago. No telling how many lives that may have saved. === The best time would have been 12 months ago when he was still denying that Covid presented any risk at all. Of course his real risk was to his incumbency which he was acutely aware of. Wasn't that the same time Fauci was saying that the US had nothing to worry about? === Do you have a cite for that? I don't remember it."On Jan. 21 - the day the first
COVID-19 case in the U.S. was confirmed - Fauci appeared on conservative Newsmax TV. ?Bottom line, we don?t have to worry about this one, right?? asked Greg Kelly, the host.Fauci said, ?Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should beworried about.?===Parsing his words, it seems like there's a bit of governmental doublespeak going on. And of course it was still early in the epidemicbefore people started dropping like flies in the north east.Does Trump get your same consideration?Hee, hee.===Hee, hee yourself John. What kind of consideration do you think heshould get? A cell right next to Bernie Madoff would be myrecommendation. They're both con men after all. Bernie got away
withit for a long time but his luck finally ran out. The same thing mayhappen with Trump. Stay tuned and pass the popcorn.I guess a subtle difference is Madoff scammed regular people,thousands of them and Trump just scammed a few banks who should knowbetter. If he is guilty, charge him in court. I am OK with that. It ishow the system works but I bet any successful prosecutions will be incivil or tax court, not criminal court. Basically only money. The question is whether he still has the abilityto make any. I think he is less than broke but I have felt that waysince the 70s when I said my real net worth is probably higher thanhis and I am just a "multi thousandaire". ;-) It always amazed me people would still lend him money and watch himliving large on those loans.At a certain point I just have to tell those venture capitalists"Stupid is as stupid does" and I don't really have that much sympathyfor them. They must believe they will get their money back somehow. Carl Ichan has
the right idea. Pick up his distressed properties atpennies on the dollar, bust them up and roll them over or develop themas an actual money maker. I still get my check from Carl everyquarter.

Is Carl the guy who owns the AC casino that was just demolished?
I can't imagine that property being worth much with a pile of
rubble on it.

Yup, that was "our" casino. (I own about 600 shares of Ichan
enterprises that owns it).
They say it will be paved over in time for the summer season parking
and then he will start working on how he will develop it.
