Poll shows Donald Trump ahead in Ohio, competitive in three other Great Lakes states as coronavirus pandemic – cleveland.com

Posted: March 26, 2020 at 5:57 am

CLEVELAND, Ohio A new poll shows Republican President Donald Trump leading in Ohio and competitive in three other key Great Lakes states as voters generally approve of his response to coronavirus and the ensuing economic upheaval.

Trump led both Democratic presidential candidates, former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, in Ohio. Trump led Biden in Pennsylvania and trailed in Michigan, with the race in Wisconsin a dead heat. The president performed better against Sanders, leading in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, though trailing in Michigan.

A majority of respondents in all four states said they approved of Trumps response to coronavirus and the economy, though they were worried about their current financial situation.

Researchers at Baldwin Wallace University, Ohio Northern University and Oakland University near Detroit polled 3,817 registered voters in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from Friday through Wednesday for the second of their planned four Great Lakes polls this year. The margins of error range from plus-or-minus 3.3 percentage points in Ohio to plus-or-minus 3.9 percentage points in Pennsylvania. The results are weighted by gender, race and ethnicity, education and annual household income to the 2016 electorate.

The poll results are generally good news for the president, who has been able to maintain support as the virus continues to spread and the stock market which he frequently brags about reaching record highs under his leadership craters.

An added political bonus for the president is the stoppage of in-person campaigning across the country. With the nation gripped by coverage of coronavirus, his Democratic challengers have little chances for earned media and a chance to criticize Trump on a wide scale as Washington works through the response, though Trump is also deprived of his favorite campaign tool large rallies.

Lauren Copeland, associate director of of Baldwin Wallaces Community Research Institute, said Trumps support could be tenuous, however, if the economy continues its skid.

Theres an intriguing finding where Trumps numbers are up, but people are worried about he economy and personal finances in particular, Copeland said. If the economy continues its downward spiral, I dont know if Trumps support will hold up.

Trump vs. Biden

Seth A. Richardson

A hypothetical matchup of Trump versus Biden produced races within the margin of error in all four states.

Trump led Biden in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but trailed him in Michigan. The poll results indicated a dead heat between Trump and Biden in Wisconsin.

The results in the four states for Trump against Biden were:

Trump vs. Sanders

Seth A. Richardson

Trump led Sanders in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, though trailed the senator in Michigan. All four races were within the margin of error, according to the poll.

The results in the four states for Trump against Sanders were:

Coronavirus response

The likely key factor in Trump remaining strong with voters despite significant upheaval to their lives and the economy is their current approval of his response to the coronavirus pandemic. More than 50% of voters in all four states said they approved of the presidents response to the outbreak. A roughly similar portion of voters said they approved of Trumps handling of the economy.

Robert Alexander, founding director of Ohio Northern Universitys Institute for Civics and Public Policy, said the wartime atmosphere against coronavirus was likely giving Trump a boost in the electoral matchups.

Like most crises, the president is likely to see a rally around the flag effect with a surge of support from the electorate, Alexander said. We find this to be the case with Trump, which may be inflating his numbers a bit. As concerns over COVID-19 persist and economic conditions worsen, it is likely Trumps approval numbers will wane. We are a long way from November, so we should be cautious about over interpreting results right nowespecially given the unprecedented circumstances we are currently experiencing.

Biden and Sanders received tepid responses from voters in comparison. Only around 30% of voters in each state said they thought Biden or Sanders would do a better job than Trump, with a similar amount saying they would do worse.

Soft Democratic enthusiasm

Trump had firmer support among respondents than either Biden or Sanders in all four of the states, with more voters saying they would definitely support the president than those who would definitely support either of the Democrats.

However, more respondents in every state said they were almost certain to vote against Donald Trump than for him.

Seth A. Richardson

That may indicate that voters want to vote against Trump, but dont like either Biden or Sanders as the nominee.

When asked if they would vote for Trump or the Democratic nominee, without either Bidens or Sanders name mentioned, Trump led in Ohio and trailed in Michigan and Wisconsin. The race was tied in Pennsylvania.

The Great Lakes Poll from January showed Trump trailing a generic Democrat in all four states.

Favorability

None of the candidates had a net-positive approval rating, save for Biden in Michigan. Trumps worst favorability rating was in Michigan, where only 41% of voters approved of Trump compared with 52% who held an unfavorable view of the president.

In Ohio, voters were split on their view of Trump, with 47% holding a favorable view of him and 47% holding an unfavorable view of him.

Seth A. Richardson

Ohio voters were more critical of Biden and Sanders. Biden had a net-unfavorable rating, with a 41% favorable to 44% unfavorable. Biden had net-unfavorable ratings in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, though voters in Michigan held slightly more favorable views of the former vice president.

Seth A. Richardson

Voters in the poll did not like Sanders, who held a net-unfavorable rating in all four states, and at more than 10% in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Michigan respondents were much kinder to Sanders, with only 42% holding an unfavorable view to 39% who held an favorable view.

Donald Trump brags about buying rockets and missiles while giving coronavirus update – Metro.co.uk

Donald Trump has boasted about splashing out on missiles and rockets while providing an update on the worsening coronavirus pandemic.

Addressing a crowd of reporters at the White House on Wednesday, the President of the United States went off-piste while breaking down a $2trillion stimulus package aimed at ensuring the coronavirus crisis does not tank the US economy.

Trump said: (Were spending) $27 billion dollars to build up the strategic national stockpile with critical supplies including masks, respirators, pharmaceuticals and everything you can imagine because it was very depleted, like our military was very depleted.

Now we have a brand new military, never had a military like this. We have equipment either coming or its already come planes, missiles, rockets, lots of things. The stockpile was very depleted like everything else.

President Trump also detailed on a $100billion relief fund for US doctors, as well as a $45billion disaster relief fund.

The package which will also see Americans earning under $95,000 presented with a $1,400 check is set to be put back before the US Congress later on amid hopes it will finally be passed tonight.

If rubber-stamped, those payments will be made within the next three weeks.

During a subsequent question and answer session Trump refused to rule out banning the exports of US medical equipment, amid a huge scramble for ventilators to treat coronavirus patients most at risk of dying.

The United States had almost 65,000 coronavirus diagnoses on Wednesday evening, and 910 confirmed deaths. It is likely to overtake Italy and China to become the worlds number one coronavirus hotspot in the coming weeks.

Opinion: The plague of Donald Trump – The Globe and Mail

Posted: at 5:57 am

Sarah Kendzior is the co-host of the podcast Gaslit Nation and the author of coming book Hiding in Plain Sight.

Life is what you do while youre waiting to die, Donald Trump, then a real estate tycoon bound for bankruptcy, told Playboy magazine in 1990. You know, it is all a rather sad situation.

Life? the interviewer asked. Or death?

Story continues below advertisement

Both. Were here and we live our 60, 70 or 80 years and were gone. You win, you win and in the end, it doesnt mean a hell of a lot. But it is something to do to keep you interested.

For his entire life, Mr. Trump has been a self-described fatalist. He has called himself a fatalist in interviews spanning nearly 30 years. This admission is a rare expression of consistent honesty for a man infamous for lying about everything his fortune, his criminal ties, objective reality. Its the outlook he hints at when he does things such as retweeting a meme of himself fiddling like Nero, while the novel coronavirus spreads across the United States.

Nothing seems to matter to Mr. Trump not only in the sense that the things that matter to other people, like love and loss, do not matter to him. Nothingness itself matters: Destruction and annihilation are what he craves. When bad times come, then Ill get whatever I want, he told Barbara Walters in an 1980s interview. His initial reaction to 9/11 was that the collapse of the World Trade Center made his own buildings look taller. His initial reaction to the 2008 economic collapse was joy at his potential to profit. Everything to Mr. Trump is transactional, and you all of you are the transaction.

U.S. President Donald Trump pressed his case on Tuesday for a reopening of the U.S. economy by mid-April despite a surge in coronavirus cases, downplaying the pandemic as he did in its early stages by comparing it to the seasonal flu. Yahaira Jacquez reports. Reuters

In February, 2014, when asked about the direction of the United States, Mr. Trump rooted for its demise:

You know what solves it? Mr. Trump told Fox News. When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then youll have a [laughs], you know, youll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great.

Everything Mr. Trump has done since taking office has served to fulfill this goal, from appointing Steve Bannon, who also called for the collapse of the government, as an adviser; to gutting departments that protect national security and public health; to his disdain for slain soldiers and their widows; to his horrific handling of natural disasters such as Hurricane Maria.

For months, Mr. Trump has done little to stop the coronavirus from spreading throughout the U.S., creating a death toll that grows rapidly every day. As citizens self-isolate, he refuses to supply federal funds to states for the much-needed medical equipment, such as masks or ventilators. When a reporter offered him the chance to ease the fears of Americans, Mr. Trump instead lashed out at the reporter for even asking. Pundits have expressed confusion about why he will not invoke the Defense Protection Act, but they should have expected it.

Story continues below advertisement

This is who Mr. Trump is, who he always was. In a time when everything is changing, you can rely on Mr. Trumps apathy to suffering.

What makes Mr. Trump particularly dangerous is that he is not acting alone. He is backed by the Republican Party, which translates his natural apathy to suffering into malicious policies. Mr. Trump is surrounded by brutal plutocrats such as Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross, who, like Mr. Trump, are protgs of the infamous corporate raider and former White House adviser Carl Icahn, who set the standard of destroying companies for profit.

Mr. Trump is also flanked by a number of religious extremists, such as William Barr, Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence, who use biblical imagery to cloak their brutal goals. The overall effect is a group that will sacrifice human lives to lift the stock market. Republican Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas stated that grandparents should die for the U.S. economy. In that mentality, the U.S. exists to be raided and razed, its citizens disposable and inconvenient.

Mr. Trump, a notorious germophobe with a lifelong fear of hand-shaking, is remarkably sanguine about the coronavirus, given that he is in the demographic more likely to die if infected. He is sanguine in the way he was about being impeached, or about being labeled Individual One in a federal indictment.

Maybe it is because the world finally exists as it has in his fantasies: Everything is collapsing, yet he remains untouchable. No GOP member has denounced Mr. Trump, just as they refused to impeach him; because Mr. Trump is still in office, public officials are struggling to contain the virus.

Mr. Trump is untouchable in a world where human touch literally kills. If the U.S. is to survive the pandemic, we need more than medical intervention. We need to get rid of the host.

Trump’s Claim That Ventilator Shortage Was Unforeseen Is False – The Intercept

Posted: at 5:57 am

In recent days, President Donald Trump has repeatedly defended his administration against the suggestion that the government is failing to secure enough ventilators, medical devices that help Covid-19 patients breathe and can save the lives of those suffering serious respiratory distress.

We have tremendous numbers of ventilators, but theres never been an instance like this where no matter what you have, its not enough, Trump said on March 18. It sounds like a lot, but this is a very unforeseen thing. Nobody ever thought of these numbers. A day later, he doubled down, noting that nobody in their wildest dreams would have ever thought that wed need tens of thousands of ventilators.

Except, of course, somebody did think that. A lot of somebodies, actually, and for a very long time. Almost every federal agency you can imagine has, in fact, warned about shortages and some have offered specific and sobering estimates of need for the better part of two decades.

Almost 15 years ago, for example, the Department of Health and Human Services published a 400-page Pandemic Influenza Plan that was nothing if not explicit. Analyzing models based on flu pandemics in 1957 and 1968, which suggested that there could be more than 900,000 hospitalizations under a similar scenario, HHS determined that demand for inpatient and intensive-care unit (ICU) beds and assisted ventilation services could increase by more than 25%. If that happened, the department predicted, mechanical ventilation would be needed in as many as 64,875 instances. A more severe pandemic like the flu of 1918-19 could result in ventilator shortages which, in turn, could lead to difficult questions about rationing. How many ventilators might be needed to stave that off? A staggering 742,500.

That startling report was just one of many to sound the alarm. Most were written in the wake of 2003 SARS outbreak or the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.

A May 2003 report by the Government Accountability Office noted that few hospitals have adequate medical equipment, such as the ventilators that are often needed for respiratory infections to handle the large increases in the number of patients that may result.

Another GAO report issued a few months later similarly warned that few hospitals reported having the equipment and supplies needed to handle a large-scale infectious disease outbreak. Half of the 2,000 hospitals surveyed by the GAO had for every 100 staffed beds, fewer than 6 ventilators.

A 2005 Congressional Research Service report echoed those concerns in relation to H1N1 avian flu. If this strain were to launch a pandemic large numbers of victims may require intensive care and ventilatory support, likely exceeding national capacity to provide this level of care, the report said.

A July 2006 Congressional Budget Office report warned that the United States had only about 100,000 ventilators, with three-quarters of them in use on any given day. That number may have remained stable for the last 14 years, according to Vice President Mike Pence, who referenced the more than 100,000 ventilators that are in health care facilities and hospitals around America today in a briefing on Saturday. (The New York Times puts the number of hospital ventilators at about 160,000.) Meanwhile, according to the 2006 CBO report, HHS had calculated that a severe influenza pandemic like the one in 1918 would require 750,000 ventilators to treat victims.

In August 2006, the Defense Department rolled out its Implementation Plan for Pandemic Influenza, offering both a prescient prediction and important advice: Considerable demand for ventilators is likely, especially in the event that the pandemic occurs before a vaccine is available. Where feasible, consideration should be given to stockpiling instead of just-in-time acquisition of adequate numbers of ventilators.

A year later, President George W. Bushs White House warned that a severe influenza pandemic would place a tremendous burden on the U.S. healthcare system and that the projected demand for inpatient and intensive care unit beds and mechanical ventilation services would overwhelm the health care system. In November 2007, the Interior Department issued a Pandemic Influenza Plan, noting that a pandemic could lead to a shortage of ventilators.

The list of overlooked warnings from federal agencies goes on: A 2009 report by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which predicted that, in the event of a pandemic, healthcare facilities can be overwhelmed, creating a shortage of hospital staff, beds, ventilators and other supplies. A report by President Barack Obamas Council of Advisors on Science and Technology about the H1N1 flu, pointed out that [d]uring the peak, 1 or 2 out of every 2,000 Americans might be hospitalized, and that patients requiring mechanical ventilation could reach 10 to 25 per 100,000 population, requiring 50 to 100 percent or more of the total ICU capacity available in the United States and placing great stress on a system that normally operates at 80 percent of capacity.

More recently, Trump reportedly ignored increasingly alarming updates from the U.S. intelligence community about the danger and spread of Covid-19.

Trumps falsehoods about coronavirus preparedness arent confined to his contention that nobody has ever heard of a thing like this, of course. He has also claimed that automakers including Ford, GM, and Tesla are lending a hand to produce ventilators fast to make up the shortfall. It just isnt true. And ventilators are just the start. Trump has responded similarly to criticism about the alarming shortage of specialized N95 masks needed by health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic.

When asked how doctors in a country as wealthy and powerful as the United States could be left without crucial masks, he resorted to his go-to defense: This is unprecedented or just about unprecedented. As time goes by, were seeing its really at a level that nobody wouldve believed. We started with very few masks. And now were making tens of millions of masks and other things.

But the need for large stockpiles of masks, like the need for ventilators, has been no secret. As occurred during the SARS outbreak in Canada, hospitals would especially need N95 particulate respirators to protect medical staff against infection, according to the 2006 CBO report. Widely adopted just-in-time practices leave too small an inventory margin to accommodate the increased demand for supplies that would accompany an influenza pandemic.

Prebiotics vs. Probiotics: What’s the Difference? – Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic

Posted: at 5:55 am

While we think of bacteria as invisible villains, your body is actually teeming with bacteria heroes.

Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services.Policy

The gut bacteria (what scientists call gut microbiota) thatlive in your gastrointestinal tract are magical creatures. They help:

Can trendy probiotics and prebiotics keep gut health in tip-top shape? Gail Cresci, PhD, RD, an expert on the gut microbiome, offers her insights into the role pre- and probiotics may play in gut health.

In human intestines, there are many strains of two mainspecies of friendly bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, Dr. Crescisays. Probiotics and prebiotics both help those friendly bacteria, but indifferent ways:

These are live microorganisms isolated from humans and thencultured in a lab to be used as a supplement. When we ingest them (whether infood or supplement form), they survive in the gut and provide benefits to uslike the good bacteria that we naturally have.

This is a food source for the friendly bacteria in your intestinal tract. Our digestive system cant break down prebiotics, so they survive the journey through the digestive tract. They eventually reach the part of the colon where the friendly bacteria hang out. The bacteria have the chops to break down the prebiotics into nutrition that helps them grow and thrive.

In a healthy state, you can trust your gut to do all theright things for you. Since you already have a good composition of friendlybacteria, you wont need pre- or probiotics.

Americans, unfortunately, dont always live in a healthy state, Dr. Cresci notes. People dont eat the 25 to 35 grams of fiber that the gut bacteria need to survive and replicate.

For some people, it may not be a lack of fiber, but rather a chronic disease that results in not enough friendly bacteria in the GI tract. Gut dysbiosis refers to the bad state of the friendly intestinal bacteria in people whose condition may negatively affect the blend of good intestinal bacteria, she says.

Whether your diet is out of whack or you live with a chronicdisease, a probiotic supplement has the potential to help restore your gut tooptimum health. There are supplements commercially available that deliver bothLactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, as well as other probiotic species.

For most people, taking a probiotic is safe, says Dr.Cresci. I recommend people living with a chronic disease or who have asuppressed immune system discuss with their doctor about adding more probioticsto their diet to make sure that taking a probiotic is something they shouldconsider doing.

Since probiotic supplements can be hard on your wallet, Dr. Cresci recommends other ways to build your gut army, such as eating fermented foods like:

You can buy prebiotic supplements, but you dont need themif you eat the foods that fortify the army of friendly bacteria in yourintestines, Dr. Cresci explains.

She recommends these microbiota-loving foods:

Dr. Cresci is actively studying synbiotics, which combine aprebiotic and a probiotic.

A probiotic in a capsule may not survive while sitting onthe grocery store shelf or passing through the intestinal tract, she says.But when you combine it with its food source, the prebiotic, it has a muchbetter shot at staying viable until it reaches the part of the gut where itwill ultimately live.

Dr. Cresci recommends people get their probiotics andprebiotics from a healthy diet, but if you need to take a supplement, sherecommends choosing a:

Pets and COVID-19 – The Andalusia Star-News – Andalusia Star-News

Posted: at 5:55 am

By: Kaitlin Holley

While most people are getting used to staying at home more, pets are happy to have their humans join their everyday routine, but Covington County Veterinary Care veterinarian Andrew Nichols said it is important that we remember our four-legged friends as we self distance, self-quarantine, and self contain.

Nichols also is recommending that everyone get their rabies shots and puppies that are susceptible to infectious diseases like parvo are recommended to get vaccinated.

Heartworm prevention is very important since we live in the heartworm capital of the world, Nichols said.

American Veterinary Medical Association has informed vets that dogs have a separate form of coronavirus and that for now, it is not true that dogs have COVID-19, but they can be phomides for people.

Veterinary experts believe that even that would be low for transmission.

Make sure you are not coughing, kissing or sneezing your pet if you feel infected, Nichols said. It is possible that a person with COVID-19 could sneeze or otherwise contaminate their pet, and then another individual could touch that animal and contract the disease.

According to Veterinary Medicine at Illinois, COVID-19 survives longer on hard, inanimate surfaces (e.g., glass, metal) than on soft surfaces (e.g., fur, cardboard). Nevertheless, animals living with sick individuals should be kept away from other people and animals (quarantined at home), just as people who live with sick individuals must avoid contact with others.

Pet owners should have enough food, supplements, medications, and any other pet-care products needed to last your pet at least two weeks and, ideally, four weeks, Nichols said.

CVC is accepting patients but is keeping the lobby very minimized and constantly disinfecting areas.

Make sure if you feel sick you do not come in.
