Acting Navy secretary apologizes for rebuke of ousted captain who raised alarm over outbreak

Capt. Brett Crozier was either "too naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer," Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said in a speech to sailors Monday.

"The spoken words were from the heart, and meant for them," Modly said. "I stand by every word I said, even, regrettably any profanity that may have been used for emphasis. Anyone who has served on a Navy ship would understand. I ask, but don't expect, that people read them in their entirety."

But several hours later, Modly reversed course and apologized for his remarks.

"Let me be clear, I do not think Captain Brett Crozier is naïve nor stupid," he said in a statement. "I think, and always believed him to be the opposite."

Modly went on to describe Crozier as "smart and passionate."

Trump blasts HHS watchdog for report on hospital shortages

President Donald Trump on Monday blasted his health department's watchdog for a new report revealing supply shortages and testing delays at hospitals responding to the coronavirus crisis, claiming the findings were inaccurate and politically motivated.

"It's just wrong," Trump said during a briefing of the White House coronavirus task force, without providing evidence detailing what was incorrect.

"It still could be her opinion. When was she appointed? Do me a favor and let me know. Let me know now. I have to know," the president said in response to a question about the findings.

Trump's comments were directed at Principal Deputy Inspector General Christi Grimm and prompted by a report based on interviews with administrators from 324 hospitals and health systems between March 23 to March 27.

If he fires her, for reporting awkward facts, that would be scary.

I remember, back in school, we used those "Classroom Mathematics" textbooks by Laridon et. al. Interspersed throughout these books were funny cartoon pictures. There was one in particular that comes to mind in the present context. It was a long time ago, but this is how I remember it.

In it, a scientist in a lab coat could be seen standing in front of the large desk of a senior government official, presumably in communist USSR. The scientist, holding a document of sorts in his hands, said to the government official: "Comrade, we have calculated the number to be 22.4." To this, the government official responded: "Please do the calculations again; the answer must be 16.9."

In Ky. Testing For The Coronavirus Remains Limited

Coronavirus testing in Kentucky is still reserved for those who need it the most.

Coronavirus testing in Kentucky is still reserved for those who need it the most.

Until the test becomes more widely available, doctors are following federal guidelines that prioritize people who have been hospitalized, those with the worst symptoms and those who are at highest risk of mortality.

“If you’ve got a very sick person in the [Intensive Care Unit], they are going to get their test, yes, within 24 hours,” said Dr. Forest Arnold, University of Louisville Hospital epidemiologist. “But if you’ve got somebody who’s not, or maybe they came and left and are at home they may not have their test for several days if at all.”

Testing also remains limited around the country, but it is scaling up.

As of Thursday, Kentucky has performed around 640 tests among a population of about 4.5 million people. At least a half-dozen labs are now doing testing for Kentuckians, but some of those have returned only a few tests thus far, said Gov. Andy Beshear at a Thursday evening press conference.

Kentucky’s state lab has a limited capacity and at most has only been able to perform 37 tests in a single day, Beshear said. U of L Vice Dean for Research Dr. Jon Klein says that the university’s labs have more, enough to test more than 200 people per day.

“We plan to scale that up but a lot of our ability to do that is dependent on the uncertainty in the supply chain,” Klein said, during an appearance on WFPL News’ In Conversation program on Friday.

That bottleneck is in part because labs need certain ingredients to perform the tests, and they’ve only just begun to get them. But many labs, including the state’s, are not designed to handle the volume needed to test everyone in a community.

Commercial labs including LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics have larger capacities but are still scaling up production. So far, they haven’t been able to catch up with the demands. Arnold says those labs are working through a backlog to get to the point where they can turn around tests in 24 to 48 hours. [South Korea 6 hrs]

Grisham out as West Wing press secretary without having held a briefing

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham is leaving the job without ever having briefed the press. CNN has learned she is returning to the East Wing as first lady Melania Trump's chief of staff as President Donald Trump's new chief of staff Mark Meadows shakes up the communications team in the West Wing.

Kayleigh McEnany, who served as Trump's 2020 campaign spokeswoman, will replace Grisham as White House press secretary, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

Meadows is also tapping Alyssa Farah, the current spokeswoman for the Defense Department, to be the director of strategic communications, the two sources said. Ben Williamson, a Meadows staffer, will become the senior communications adviser.
 
Why do Republicans keep popping up, embroiled in these corrupt scandals? Is it a climate of corruption that has permeated through the ranks from the CiC?

The guy who ensures state resources are expended at his hotels for his profit? Could he be creating a climate of corruption?

The revolving door at the White House continues to roll.

WH Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham is out.

She never held a briefing with the press during her 9 month tenure.

She is being replaced by Kayleigh McEnany, the Trump loyalist who said Trump would ensure that NO coronavirus cases would come to the USA.

As Kushner said ironically.. basically in good times a bad manager can go unnoticed.. in bad times well.. if you get out unscathed or with minimal negative impact you did well.

If they keep numbers low he did ok but still bad and there is no way around it. People that support trump remind me of people who supported zuma.
