Pence to Limbaugh: Coronavirus crisis could largely be 'behind us' by early June

[TomCADem]

I know that Trump gets the most attention, but he is just the loudest. Back in April, even Pence was insisting that the pandemic would be behind us in June as he put pressure to speed up reopening efforts, thus undermining stay at home orders.

Vice President Pence said during an interview Thursday with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh that if current trend lines hold, the coronavirus crisis could be largely "behind us" by early June.

Pence's remarks come as some states look to begin reopening their economies in the coming days, with Oklahoma, Colorado, Georgia, Tennessee, Montana, South Carolina and Texas lifting some restrictions.

Other states, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wyoming, did not have stay-at-home orders.

“I truly do believe if current trend lines hold, that by early June, we could largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us, and begin to see our nation open back up and go back to work,” Pence told Limbaugh.

5. Well .. the "opening up" part was somewhat correct

Corona is obviously not behind us
And .. a lot of jobs not there to go back to
So .. 1 out of 3 ...

8. He Did Know It Was June 11th When He Said It

Right.
Since June has 30 days, early June was already over on the 11th.
What a buffoon!

11. We need something like "Friedman Units"

To count out the numbers of days, weeks, months, I hope not years, until they think the virus will be "under control".

12. looks like the "trend lines" didn't "hold" so now what?

how about telling us about "plan B"? oh wait, there never was a "plan B", huh? and frankly "plan A" seems pretty damn flimsy now too.

so now the dying starts all over again. fuck all y'all then. what a waste of time.

13. Sets up the ridicule of pence when everything explodes,

Then use his opinion as the grounds for attacking his competence.
