New Orleans Mayor Blames President Trump For Not Canceling Mardi Gras During Pandemic
Absolutely anything. Democrats from sea to shining sea will blame President Donald John Trump for absolutely anything. It’s kind of funny, if you think about it.
Before the pandemic took hold, unemployment was at its lowest point in decades and the stock market was thriving. That was all due to Trump’s policies.
It shouldn’t be that hard to understand. And yet, some people just refuse to accept reality.
From CBS News:
The mayor of New Orleans said Thursday that she would have canceled the city’s famous Mardi Gras celebrations last month if the federal government had been clearer about the dangers posed by coronavirus. Orleans Parish is now one of America’s hardest-hit regions during the pandemic — with the nation’s highest per capita death rate from the virus.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat, said that “no red flags were given” by federal agencies before its Mardi Gras celebrations in late February — just weeks before the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a pandemic.

This is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.

This approach has a lot of historical clinical support. It was used successfully in setting of H1N1 and Spanish Flu. The approach also lends strong basis for why products like @Regeneron antibody drug has a reasonable probability of success. We will beat #COVID19 with technology. https://t.co/IbOFX9v2bq
