As the White House clamors to combat the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior aide, has reportedly turned to a nontraditional resource: advice crowdsourced from Facebook.

Kurt Kloss, a doctor and the father-in-law of Jared Kushner's brother, Josh, on Wednesday posted in a Facebook group for physicians called EM Docs, asking for its nearly 22,000 members to brainstorm measures to stop the coronavirus outbreak, The Spectator first reported on Thursday. Politico later independently published a report on Kloss' posts.

"I have direct channel to person now in charge at White House," Kloss reportedly wrote, adding: "If you were in charge of Federal response to the Pandemic what would your recommendation be. Please only serious responses."

...

Kloss reportedly wrote that he sent 12 recommendations to Kushner on Thursday morning.

"Jared is reading now," he said.

1. Ok everybody, let's be quiet, Jared is reading.

Go ahead, Jared read. Read, Jared, read.

5. Yes, I'm sure Jar-Jar* will have this worked out in nothing flat...

...after all, his track record is so good.

2. Wouldn't

Wouldn't the Grim Reaper do a better job than Jared Crusher?

How about, simply put: You all get out of the way and let adults and professionals handle this without interfering and evading the truth for political reasons and in order to further Dear Leader's Glorious Thirty-year Plan?

Fixed!

3. And on Wednesday.

Because he could learn everything he needed to know by today, after getting information on Wednesday.

Sigh....

4. I guess he didn't like the answers from experts consulted to date -- wants to widen the net..

... for some magical, free solution that will fix it all.

6. I have at least a dozen recommendations but Jared will need to pay me 50K a piece.

7. OMG, next, they will tell us not to get vaccines, believe a bunch of BS,

and here, look at this funny comic, meme, or lolcat. Out of all that, I'm already looking at the funny stuff and lots of Lolcat stuff. Maybe that is humanity's future. While the internet and power grid are up and running, we can all look at lolcats to keep some semblance of civilization going.

8. Jared graduated from NYU Law School.

Obviously he failed Evidence.

9. Task #1325 in a post-Trump cleanup: anti-nepotism laws with claws and teeth.

Even The Onion can't make up sh*t more absurd than this.

10. I wonder how many of the responses

were variations of ..."Don't put Jared fucking Kushner in charge"
