Correct. As I have already posted elsewhere, the check does bare Trumps name, but appears down in the area where 'MEMO' would be on a regular check:

ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENT
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Here you go:

Does it have his face on the back? I think it should.

civilservant

That's his face on the Statue of Liberty, can't you tell?

Thank you, although the day after posting I got to view the real thing. Not only has it been credited to my account most of it has completed a round trip and is now back in the Treasury coffers.

The travel ban to the UK will be lifted when the Trump golf courses in Scotland are on the verge of bankruptcy.

So the moderna vaccine appears to work and apparently the Oxford one does to a fashion apart from the nasal situation which is maybe no vaccine at all. I wonder if Donald Trump will now demand Prince Andrew in return for it?

Phase 3 clinical trials take months. They haven't even been started.

Production and distribution will take months.

We aren't done with COVID yet.

I suspect the timeline for all this is beyond the election sadly for Trump. It would have saved him but it will come too late I think. And the large scale trials in the tens of thousands won't be enough to slow this second spread in places that are closing down again unfortunately for Trump and his ambitions.

civilservant

We've been telling you that again and again for what feels like months.

Not so sure I agree with that one. It doesn't bring the 136,000 Americans that have died back to life.

But Trump would love nothing better than to say it works roll it out now x million by October America first. And actually be on the campaign trail vaccinating people saying we have great vaccine great vaccine american vaccine america beat China It is all China. I was key to creating this vaccine. You know what he is like. But that won't happen.

The next battle is now what? Utah? A state within 2 weeks whose infection rates will fly up. Perhaps the third clinical trial stage vaccination of lets say 25k as a round figure might go some way towards slowing that future spread as does the vaccination not prevent the vaccinated person from not only catching but spreading the virus. So with an R number of 1 would 25k vaccination not prevent 50k infections in that state? A small victory perhaps but not near enough. You needed decent leadership in this and you didn't have. But it has also exposed the divide between rich and poor and old and young and the contempt within in some parts of society for one another.

Words fail me. I have no idea what you are blathering about, unless this is just random speculation on your part.

andyrebell

The current state of this in U.S cannot be blamed just on Trump's leadership. He has done a bad job but it is not all him. You can't blame Trump for people not wearing masks and not social distancing or not doing what they should be doing to slow the spread of the virus. The young people don't give a damn about the old people who are dying of this they are throwing parties to catch it for crying out loud.

Pulaski

Agreed, that is a fair assessment of what a very public minority of people in the US are doing.

I love Darwinism. I can only think that the average IQ of the nation is going to increase in the next year.
