I looked at my posting on the blog last year in March.  On March 12, 2020 I posted my comments on a President Donald Trump speech along with a Youtube of the speech.  I was not reassured.

Things are far better today than they have been in a year.  President Joe Biden gave us an assurance today that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Here is what I wrote on March 12, 2020.

Are you reassured?

I’m not. This was not a speech of reassurance like George W. Bush’s speech after 9-11 nor was this a speech of the kind given by Winston Churchill as England was under attack by the Germans nor FDR after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Nothing up lifting at all. It was a speech read from a teleprompter in which Trump seemed more concerned with the economics of this country than the health of its citizens.

There was not a word about the development of a medicine to cure the disease nor was there any words about the development of a vaccine. The President did not mention, for example, the shortage of testing kits, which means officials cannot even get a strong read on how far the disease has spread across the nation.  Instead the government will close travel from Europe for 30 days.
