No more social distancing for media in Rose Garden as White House decides it ‘looks better’ when reporters bunch together
Published: June 5, 2020 at 8:28 p.m. ET

Journalists’ health put at risk by Trump team, charges White House Correspondents Association

Apparently eager to portray a country that’s definitively back on track, the White House on Friday effectively forced reporters to abandon the Trump administration’s own social-distancing guidance.

Chairs for correspondents, of late placed at a remove from one another in accordance with the widely recognized recommendation to stay 6 feet away from others to lower the risk of coronavirus contagion, were assembled in the Rose Garden in status quo ante fashion.

Why, asked the White House Correspondents Association, were reporters being asked to violate established best practices? A succinct answer from the White House:

‘It looks better.’
— Judd Deere, deputy press secretary

President Trump, at the podium, took note of the nearly shoulder-to-shoulder seating arrangement Friday as it were an organic occurrence, or perhaps based on epidemiological factors, saying: “I noticed you’re starting to get much closer together. Looks much better, I must say.”

It was probably too much to expect any reporter, let alone a majority, to show the tiniest amount of good sense and move their chairs 6 feet apart.

It was probably too much to expect any reporter, let alone a majority, to show the tiniest amount of good sense and move their chairs 6 feet apart. Instead, their Association wrote a strongly worded memo which makes exactly no difference. The chairs stay where Trump wants, even though the chairs are very light and folding. Maybe at least one reporter should have thrown a chair at the Presidential podium? That would have made some news worth watching -- to turn Trump's empty headed blathering into a wrestling match with reporters. Trump would run away and the video would be seen around the world of his fat dumb ass escaping back inside the building.

COVID has slowed down in Canada and so we are holding our own up here. Things in BC are slowly restarting like Hollywood North but there are a lot of regs that must be followed.

Thanks for the update! As a whole, Canada does seem to be doing far better than the US when it comes to getting it under control, and then thoughtfully reopening.

Here in the US, despite that fact that NYS dropped from ~11,000 new cases/ day April 10, 2020 to ~750 per day now (a decrease of 10,250), the country as a whole has only dropped from ~32,000 new cases per day to ~22,500 new cases per day (a decrease of 9,500).

So the rest of the country looks like our efforts at mitigating SARS-CoV-2 are going nowhere, fast.

Toronto is also the largest city in Canada followed by Montreal then Vancouver then Calgary then Edmonton.

Also Kiki, I don't think the problem in Alberta is with Albertans themselves. I did mention that Americans are coming into Alberta saying they are going to Alaska when in fact they are VACATIONING in places like Banff and Jasper which they SHOULD NOT BE DOING.

I should apologize for making Alberta's numbers seem worse than they are. It was 20 new cases in Edmonton. Their numbers are not too much higher than BC's. And they have been there for us. Example when their numbers were lower than ours and they had extra medical supplies they sent the extra to BC. Canadians come together in a crisis.

In the second week of April, a week after the CDC recommended all Americans wear face coverings in public, the divide between Democrats and Republicans who said they wear masks at all times when leaving home was fairly narrow. But once Trump very clearly did not wear a mask in public, that transmitted a signal that if you’re a good supporter of the president you don’t wear a mask.

OK!

Yeah, I can see Americans coming to Canada and ignoring your rules, or worse, actively subverting them.

Sigh. I apologize for my fellow countrypeople.




I've been following the numbers of both the total for the US as well as for the various states (plus my home state California and my home county Los Angeles for personal reasons). So I have a fair idea of what's happening when and where.

I don't have any information at all about Canada, except what you bring here. Just to be nosy, did Ontario(Toronto) and Quebec(Montreal) experience a reduction followed by a spike 3 or so weeks after Victoria day? If you could answer that question without too much trouble, I'd appreciate it.

I've lived in California for over 3 decades but it doesn't really feel like home. So It's nice that you've lived here and there, and have more than one home to your name.
