Word on the Street by BILL MCCLELLAN
The Corona Virus For Syracuse Community Health Center Coronavirus testing call Upstate first: Upstate Hospital COVID-19 Hot Line: 315-464-3979 – The State Hot Line is: 1-888-364-2065. You can reach the Feds at CDC: 1-800-232-4636 (www,cdc.gov/cdc-info) Walmart and Walgreens are expected to open test sites as soon as logistics allow. Be alert for other locations. Researching this article was difficult. It was a venture of weaving through truth and lies. With complete objectivity I can tell you that somewhere around 80% of everything Trump has said regarding the virus is either a lie or a grave distortion. Trump also has a propensity to ruin careers and cruelly punish those that offend or disagree with his thinking. He has surrounded himself with, and has inundated the Federal Government with unqualified sycophantic unpatriotic leadership. The result is that you cannot trust him and you cannot trust anyone he has authority over, as they tailor their words to suit acceptability by him, not the truth or the people. He is the price for sacrificing principles, quality and morality for whatever reason. A good analogy is a recent TV add. It shows a picture of an apple. Someone may try and tell you it is a banana over and over. It is a banana, banana, banana they may say. They may raise their voice to influence you, they may write it in CAPS “IT IS A BANANA”. But it is not. It is an apple. That is a fact. Trump has a severe emotional issue that demands he tells you an apple is banana. Trump has compulsive mythomania. He is compelled to lie, not to please, but to appease narcissism. Trump has convinced his followers that an apple is a banana on issue after issue after issue. The problem is his lies force incompetency and they are killing many of us. He is at a loss this time, as the Corona Virus does not give a damn if he belittles it on twitter. I found that researching Governors and the actions of other countries is the best way to measure what we are up against. The results are extremely alarming. Making things far worse is that America, once a great leader in response to any severe difficulty, today, cannot get out of its’ own way. Trump literally disbanded the White House Pandemic

Response Team which was created understanding that pandemics are always on the horizon. It should be noted that all information regarding this disease is fluid and that much of current horrid speculation will be mitigated by the people and the States which have realized the Federal Government is not responsive. For example, Governor Cuomo has expressed Presidentially what should be done. Not Political. Just fact. He is on top of this. He had to secure dispensation from the Fed so that New York State can independently manufacture and test. He has called and written the President continued on pg 32
