Trump’s popularity with his base doesn’t go down until he starts racking up a (white) body count.

I know there’s a thread for the virus stuff but has Tom Cotton’s hyping of Chinese bioweapon conspiracies come up?

Are the other 300 people on the plane currently under quarantine?
Neither of these boldeds were in the original linked article. If you’ve got another source which says those things, please post it.
The article simply says that if they didn’t get on the plane they would stay in Japanese hospitals. Also it doesn’t say a second plane wasn’t considered. The article doesn’t mention it. It makes very little mention of the details of the argument between the State Dept and the CDC. Moreover if it wasn’t considered at all, that seems like a problem as well.
Most importantly, can we at least admit that not having the two planes at the ready was dumb and easily anticipated. Or is that too much?

Yes
I’m confused. Are they being quarantined because they were forced into a dangerous plane ride with sick people?
Seems much worse than 14 people hanging out in the hospital in Japan.
I am sure your concern for the view outside their window is greatly appreciated by all of them.
Parscale has indicated that he plans to open up a new front in this war: local news. Last year, he said the campaign intends to train “swarms of surrogates” to undermine negative coverage from local TV stations and newspapers. Polls have long found that Americans across the political spectrum trust local news more than national media. If the campaign has its way, that trust will be eroded by November. “We can actually build up and fight with the local newspapers,” Parscale told donors, according to a recording provided by The Palm Beach Post. “So we’re not just fighting on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC with the same 700,000 people watching every day.”
Apparently these are all fake websites to trick people with disinformation from seeming local news sources?!?!?!!

After the rally, I loitered near one of the exits, chatting with people as they filed out of the arena. Among liberals, there is a comforting caricature of Trump supporters as gullible personality cultists who have been hypnotized into believing whatever their leader says. The appeal of this theory is the implication that the spell can be broken, that truth can still triumph over lies, that someday everything could go back to normal—if only these voters were exposed to the facts. But the people I spoke with in Tupelo seemed to treat matters of fact as beside the point.
When I asked him if it mattered whether those things were true, he thought for a moment before answering. “He tells you what you want to hear,” Willnow said. “And I don’t know if it’s true or not—but it sounds good, so fuck it.”
The political theorist Hannah Arendt once wrote that the most successful totalitarian leaders of the 20th century instilled in their followers “a mixture of gullibility and cynicism.” When they were lied to, they chose to believe it. When a lie was debunked, they claimed they’d known all along—and would then “admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”

Everyone coming back from the cruise ship had to do a 14 day quarantine regardless once they got back to the states.
Please exorcise the coronavirus quarantine debate to the coronavirus thread please.
