Pence to Rush Limbaugh: Coronavirus outbreak may be ‘behind us’ by June

Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the government’s coronavirus task force, believes the US coronavirus pandemic may be largely “behind us” by early June if cases continue falling.

In an interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday, Pence was optimistic that a large number of Americans may have been exposed to COVID-19, leading to a “degree of immunity.”

“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 said.

“There is a high likelihood that if you’ve had this coronavirus in the past, that you will enjoy some immunity from it in the future,” the veep added.

Good God in Butter! When does this nightmare stop? We are at just about 1,000,000 cases of C-19,
> 50,000 deaths*, the economy is in a free fall to a recession/depression, the #s of deaths world wide
might very well be in the 10s of millions, food supplies will be disrupted, and we have no treatment
and or vaccine to treat "the beast" And Mike Pence along with Fox News are trying to tell us that "it"
will soon be behind us.

* Trump/Pence just said 2 weeks ago that the death total will top out @ 60,000 in August.


I need to go outside and see some wildflowers.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you manure, I guess all you can do is call in an asswipe.

13. Be careful...

Don’t be lured into a trap. June is still 30 days away. If there continues to be a decline the moron-media then will trot out Pence as a prophet and legitimate media as wrong. But only if they take the bait.

Who fucking cares what Pence predicts? Now is the time to ignore him, Trump, and the daily clown show and listen to state governors. And especially don’t quote what Pence said on Limbaugh. Ignore them both!

The states may open up and then suffer a worse Fall outbreak. Don’t give Pence a temporary propaganda victory by giving his prediction the light of day. They are hoping that temporary victory lasts only until November.

Ignore him.

18. pence is easy to ignore but limbaugh is the republican intellectual and moral leader doing

this for 30 years before putin put trump in his sidecar, the leading repeater and seller of lies and alternate reality, increasingly used by putin the last 10 years

we are in this disaster because dems and the left have ignored limbaugh for 30 years and have no organized response to 1500 nationally and, unlike its little brother fox, who we give way too much blame, locally coordinated radio stations

ignoring talk radio is the biggest political mistake in history

by then, we're going to have so much more chaos that no one will remember there's a pandemic going on

[C Moon]

21. Probably not, but even if it does, we have a worse second wave most likely in the fall.

But will they do anything to prepare? Of course not.

[DallasNE]

22. Pence Is Campaigning

Telling his base what they want to hear. It is irresponsible beyond belief. His predictions are about as likely to happen as snow in Houston in July. And where is the media pushback with a report on the consensus of the medical professionals. This madness must stop.
