I saw this, and it scares the shit out of me. Me grandmother is in a rehab facility in Florida, and is 97.

First off, you're quoting Buzzfeed. Second, that article was quoting Bill Mitchell. Two stupids does not make a post smart. It just makes it twice as stupid.

The problem, and the point, is that there are people that buy into Bill Mitchell and this narrative.

Never heard of this guy but there are people that buy into all types of narratives. Doesn’t mean the majority should acknowledge it and pretend like it’s a mainstream thought or something.

Crazy is gonna be crazy, just let it be and pay it no mind.

There are people who believe socialism is a good idea. I can't help what stupids do.

Cool. Here's one from Politico saying Trump and Dr. Fauci are working great together. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...tension-146035

Here's one where Dr. Fauci says Trump always listens to him. https://www.businessinsider.com/anth...helpful-2020-3

Here's Vox questioning Dr. Birx's credibility.https://www.vox.com/2020/3/27/211970...re-coronavirus

Opinions aside, here’s some really nice data visualization for spread by country or state. Linear or log, standard or normalized to population.

Except, ya know, the countless times that Trump has said something blatantly wrong in these press conferences, and then Dr. Fauci has had to correct him. It's pretty obvious the President isn't listening to Fauci.

Fauci is a professional, and isn't going to let a story about a rift with the administration stop his work. But you can see in his body language and words that having to constantly correct the President annoys him, and takes away from the job at hand.

He’s fine with the President. He’s more annoyed at the media.

Also, the man is 79 years old in the middle of a nasty pandemic and the last thing he wants to do is talk to the media.

Right, a man of science who only wants to stop the spread of this virus is totally fine with the President saying anyone can get a test when they can't. He's totally fine with the President telling people things should go back to normal by Easter when they absolutely won't. He's totally fine with the President recommending drugs that haven't been tested for this virus at all. Sure, maybe he likes Trump as a person, but there's no doubt his job would get a lot easier if Trump would just stop talking.
