Coronavirus Confusion – Making America Great Again

Doctor Trump know best. Except he really isn’t a doctor.

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)Health officials in Nigeria have issued a warning over chloroquine after they said three people in the country overdosed on the drug, in the wake of President Trump’s comments about using it to treat coronavirus.

Washington Post reported that a man and wife in Arizona to chloroquine. He died. she is hospitalized in serious condition.

Now the president is more concerned with the state of the economy than the health of the citizens of this country. It is evident that he intends to tell us that the emergency is over and we should all go back to work. Will anyone be listening?

Goodbye Donald Trump – You Are Not Forgiven

Donald Trump, you want to be re-elected. I’m sorry to tell you this but you have failed to protect the citizens of this country. Even today with the coronavirus spreading you are still saying things that are lies and offering misleading information.

Americans know when their president has failed at his job. President Herbert Hoover presided over the Wall Street crash in 1929 that led to the Great Depression. President Jimmy Carter presided over 10% interest rates, high inflation, and the Iran hostage debacle. President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. President George Herbert Walker Bush presided over high unemployment. All four of those presidents were not elected to a second term.

According to you the coronavirus was a Democratic Party hoax. Then it was a disease that would quickly go away effecting very few people. Then it was a disease that would go away quickly in a few months as warmer weather of spring came. Finally it has become a disease that could last 18 months or more.

It’s now become known that you dismantled a National Security directorate at the White House in 2018 that was charged with preparing for a pandemic. You also proposed cuts to the CDC as reported by ABC News. “I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19,” Beth Cameron, the first director of the unit, wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post.

As “stable genius” like you, you should have no trouble resolving the rising unemployment numbers (new claims have already risen by 70,000) and a stock market that has fallen by over 20%. Or maybe not.

Your latest idea of buying shares of private companies is a brilliant idea if you believe in socialism. Oh, wait, you are opposed to that. What will you call it?

Goodbye. Good riddance.  Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders

Frankly Bernie Sanders beat the hell out of Joe Biden.  What is worse is that Biden didn’t seem to know it had happened.

The question for me about Joe is his mental acuity. He has had a history of not being able to address facts and respond quickly.  While his responses were reasonable his answers to the positons he has taken in the past are troubling. Sanders hit Biden on his voting record and his positions.  That is exactly what Kamala Harris in the first debate.

If you think Sanders was tough on Biden what do you think Trump will do to Biden? Trump will attack Biden on his son’s job in Ukraine. Everything that Sanders brought up will be emphasized by Trump.

Joe is a nice man but in a debate against Trump he is just too slow. Joe Biden will be mincemeat.

The Last Ship

The 56 episode series appeared on TNT.  At the helm of the USS Nathan James en-route to the Arctic, Capt. Tom Chandler learns that the destroyer will be in the best possible place — a circumstance his crew must utilize — to save humanity from extinction.  A virus has wiped out more than half the population since the ship embarked, and despite orders from the U.S. government to return, Chandler — believing home is now a shadow of itself — decides the safest place to develop a vaccine is at sea.  That task falls mainly to virologist Dr. Rachel Scott, a civilian originally assigned to the Nathan James to study birds.  In that fiction the epidemic marched around the world and governments collapsed. Hulu has acquired exclusive streaming video-on-demand rights to all episodes.

 

Contagion

A 2011 movie about a pandemic with potentially eerie similarities to recent events.   The tag line on Netflix movie poster are the words “Nothing spreads like fear.” The movie has been climbing up the iTunes rental charts, reflecting how people often use fiction as a means to process reality.
