New York recorded its highest single-day death toll due to the coronavirus for a third straight day: Governor Andrew Cuomo said that 799 people died from COVID-19 on Wednesday.Cuomo said more than 7,000 people in the state have now lost their lives because of the virus.

CHILL OUT....The hot topic of conversation right now is the proposition that a long, drawn-out Democratic primary runs the risk of destroying the party and putting John McCain in the White House. So for the good of the country, Hillary should withdraw.Now, this might be true. But I d like to offer a historical counterexample: 1968. Consider. The Democratic incumbent president was forced to withdraw after a primary debacle in New Hampshire. The Vietnam War had split liberals into warring factions and urban riots had shattered the LBJ s Great Society legacy. A frenzied primary season reached all the way to California in June, culminating in the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. The Democratic Convention in Chicago was a nationally televised battle zone. Hubert Humphrey, the party s eventual no stanley italia minee, had never won a primary and was loathed by a significant chunk of the liberal community. New Left radicals hated mainstream Democrats more than they hated Republicans.In other words, this was the mother of all ugly, party-destroying campai stanley spain gns. No other primary campaign in recent memory from either party has come within a million light years of being as fratricidal and ruinous. But what happened In the end, Humphrey lost the popular vote to Nixon by le stanley tazas ss than 1%.

CBS stanley tazas Updated at 5 p.m. ET President Obama today defiantly defended his compromise plan to extend the Bush tax cuts, insisting in a news conference, This isn t the politics of the moment, this has to do with what can we get done right now. He lashed out at his critics on the left, who have accused the president of a stanley fr bandoning his Democratic principles by cutting a deal with Republicans. This notion that somehow we are willing to compromise too much -- this is the public option debate all over again, the president said. We pass something that Democrats have been fighting for for over 100 years, but because there was a provision in there that they didn t get...somehow that was a sign of weakness and compromise. He continued, If that s the standard by which we are measuring success or core principles, then let s face it, we will never get anything done. People will have the satisfaction of having a purist posit stanley termosar ion and no victories for the American people. Yesterday, Mr. Obama unveiled a tentative deal with Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts -- set to expire at the end of the month -- for two years. The plan would extend all of the tax cuts, even though Mr. Obama promised on the campaign trail to let them expire for the wealthiest Americans in the name of fiscal responsibility. The deal also includes a 13-month extension of unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut, among other things.

The following is a transcript of an interview with former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb that aired Oct stanley mugs ober 4, 2020, on Face the Nation.

He did sound a little bit hoarse. Given what s been disclosed publicly at this point, what do you think his status is DR. GOTTLIEB: It s hard to know.

Typically, what we see is in the first week, you have sort of the viral response phase of the infection, and it s that second week when patients sometimes get into trouble. Now, there is some correlation with patients doing well that first week and being less likely to get into trouble that second week, when you have that inflammatory response- the post viral inflam stanley tumbler matory response. But there are exceptions, and- and I have talked to physicians who have seen patients who did well the first week and still got into trouble.
