It’s the amount of time.” Fauci also cautioned that the United States does not have the critical blood tests and capabilities to track contacts of an infected person to begin reopening the economy, the Associated Press reported. “We have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on, and we’re not there yet,” he told the AP. President Trump has pushed for a May 1 goal of possibly reopening parts of the country, which Fauci called “a bit overly optimistic.” “I’ll guarantee you, once you start pulling back there will be infections.

Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, claiming that the governor has been calling relentlessly and “begging for everything” after Cuomo likened Trump’s claim of having “total” authority to being a king. “Cuomo’s been calling daily, even hourly, begging for everything, most of which should have been the state’s responsibility, such as new hospitals, beds, ventilators, etc,” the president tweeted. “I got it all done for him, and everyone else, and now he seems to want Independence! That won’t happen!” Cuomo warned on Tuesday morning that if President Trump attempted to override governors’ decisions to reopen state economies, it would create “a constitutional crisis like you haven’t seen in decades” and could put lives at risk. “If he says to me, ‘I declare it open,’ and that is a public health risk or it’s reckless with the welfare of the people of my state, I will oppose it,” Cuomo said in an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Cuomo pushed back on Trump’s claim during a coronavirus press briefing on Monday that it was ultimately up to the president to decide when and how to reopen states. Legal experts have consistently rebuked that assertion, arguing that the federal government does not have the power to do so.]]>https://www.thedailybeast.com/tiger-king-joe-exotic-wrote-a-book-about-abusive-childhood-in-prison-husband-says/2024-09-10T01:38:58.416Zalways0.5https://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/MURK7OZI4RPJZFYSKKPMROBXNQ.jpg?auth=ae8ea1db6bd3534b02e1440bdd4d3c53a00fccebc9f989bcc9af80c6c3ee99e6&smart=true&width=3000&height=1687https://www.thedailybeast.com/hank-steinbrenner-yankees-co-owner-dead-at-63/2024-09-10T01:39:06.681Zalways0.5https://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/U36AFUL6M5NXDO7DFFSFJMAPJY.jpg?auth=29a500a709206383744e2f8bbd975dfdb5010747cdddc10ab059e2135a960770&smart=true&width=3738&height=2102Hank Steinbrenner, the co-owner of the New York Yankees, died on Tuesday at age 63.

But Donald Trump has an allergy to both—science and the truth. Our response to the coronavirus crisis must be based on science, on data, and on the truth.

The 2013 investigation was set to dig into Chinese leaders' ties to the country's richest man, Wang Jianlin, and would have laid out alleged links to the family of new Chinese President Xi Jinping. In audio of a conference call obtained by NPR, Bloomberg News’ editor-in-chief Matthew Winkler said: “It is for sure going to, you know, invite the Communist Party to, you know, completely shut us down and kick us out of the country ... So, I just don't see that as a story that is justified.” He went on to say: “They will probably kick us out of the country. They'll probably shut us down, is my guess.” the time, two Bloomberg editors told NPR the story didn't run because it needed additional reporting. Winkler publicly said much the same.

The Washington Post has obtained one leaked cable which complains about safety and management weaknesses at the lab, and specifically warns about the lab’s work on bat coronaviruses. Xiao Qiang, a research scientist at the School of Information at the University of California at Berkeley, said: “The cable tells us that there have long been concerns about the possibility of the threat to public health that came from this lab’s research, if it was not being adequately conducted and protected.” There is no evidence that the novel coronavirus was engineered, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that it originated in the lab, which spent years testing bat coronaviruses in animals. “The cable was a warning shot,” one unnamed U.S. official told the newspaper. “They were begging people to pay attention to what was going on.”]]>https://www.thedailybeast.com/paul-manafort-trumps-former-campaign-manager-requests-early-prison-release/2024-09-10T01:36:36.52Zalways0.5https://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/IHVYYJA2TBNRTOM2PD52FFC7ZI.jpg?auth=5dff841af685d685b14980bad02cb4434b5221e4a6e0e1face99a9a36c2b5675&smart=true&width=1024&height=576Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, has become the latest high-profile convict to request early release from prison due to coronavirus-related health fears. The 71-year-old political consultant has asked to serve the remainder of his seven-and-a-half year sentence for tax evasion, witness tampering and unregistered lobbying from home. Manafort was jailed following special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. He has suffered with health issues for several years. So far, 388 federal prisoners have been confirmed infected with the novel coronavirus and 13 have died, according to the Bureau of Prisons. Advocates for inmates and prison guard union officials say the true infection rate is substantially higher because testing of prisoners has been minimal.

He used his SiriusXM show to vent about his role as CNN anchor, and said his battle with coronavirus had made him rethink his values and question his position as a public figure. He said: “I don’t like what I do professionally… I don’t think it’s worth my time.” Cuomo said he missed the freedom to tell his critics to “go to hell,” saying: “That matters to me more than making millions of dollars a year… because I’ve saved my money and I don’t need it anymore.” Speaking about his job as the host of CNN’s Prime Time, he said he doesn’t want to spend his life “trafficking in things that I think are ridiculous,” like “talking to Democrats about things that I don’t really believe they mean,” and “talking to Republicans about them parroting things they feel they have to say.” Cuomo concluded: “I’m basically being perceived as successful in a system that I don’t value. I’m seen as being good at being on TV and advocating for different positions… but I don’t know if I value those things, certainly not as much as I value being able to live my life on my own terms.”]]>https://www.thedailybeast.com/justin-amash-says-hes-looking-closely-at-a-white-house-run-against-trump/2024-09-10T01:37:51.564Zalways0.5https://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/EB3UJPB3IVPTDLEPUTXJFDDR4Y.jpg?auth=172f10f3422dd82d14850a833e07ddc3aebd865847b9b35d3a86b5cf81c27c23&smart=true&width=771&height=433Former Republican party member Justin Amash (I-Mich.) suggested he might make a third-party presidential bid on Monday, after blasting President Trump’s claims at a coronavirus press briefing that he has “total authority” over when states can ease restrictions implemented amid the pandemic. Amash, often described as a libertarian-leaning Independent since he left the Republican party last July, said on Twitter that the remarks were “flat-out wrong,” adding: “Americans who believe in limited government deserve another option.” After receiving encouragement to run from one Twitter user, he responded: “Thanks. I’m looking at it closely this week.” He later tweeted: “State governments are not local branches of the federal government; they have different powers and functions. Putting one government in charge of everything does not strengthen our system; it weakens our system and makes everyone more vulnerable to serious errors.”]]>https://www.thedailybeast.com/china-sends-two-coronavirus-vaccines-for-human-testing/2024-09-10T01:37:26.161Zalways0.5https://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/R7IT2KJK5RL4VL42PHAGOWCYXU.jpg?auth=7ea3bc63e535f51ae87577664558c9af99d66a12dd1a50ce13f598cdd9ce6ff1&smart=true&width=1024&height=576China has approved two experimental coronavirus vaccines for human testing, its state media reported Tuesday.
