4. There he goes again...

That's just a new version of a now old ball of bull.

It wont' go away from what I see. In fact, I would guesstimate that we are looking at something like about eighteen months or more before we see it in the rear view mirror, even with a vaccine, and again, that's also thanks to looking the other way and not preempting the crisis, for whatever reason. It really might have been shorter if the actual playbook had been followed early on.

For now, I look at the Spanish Flu cycle and consider the waves and responses as a reference, at least.

The superficial way this is handled hurts. A vaccine will take time, especially if it is going to be safe and not a rushed, trumpian toxin of some sort. Gearing up for the doses and distributing it is another issue that will determine how long the process will take.

Meanwhile, blah, blah, blah. Let me say this about that.

5. More lies to get the stock market up

That’s all

6. Man, those chairs look like tombstones

Didn't know if that was the White House, or a cemetery.

7. It's funny that the guy who advocates against social distancing is social distancing

Clearly with the way the chairs are spaced. Why don’t they cram in the people if they’re so sure?

9. What's he going to say in the fall...

and winter when this virus bounces back? Who will he blame?
