President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner boasted in mid-April about how the President had cut out the doctors and scientists advising him on the unfolding coronavirus pandemic, comments that came as more than 40,000 Americans already had died from the virus, which was ravaging New York City.

In a taped interview on April 18, Kushner told legendary journalist Bob Woodward that Trump was "getting the country back from the doctors" in what he called a "negotiated settlement." Kushner also proclaimed that the US was moving swiftly through the "panic phase" and "pain phase" of the pandemic and that the country was at the "beginning of the comeback phase."

"That doesn't mean there's not still a lot of pain and there won't be pain for a while, but that basically was, we've now put out rules to get back to work," Kushner said. "Trump's now back in charge. It's not the doctors."

The statement reflected a political strategy. Instead of following the health experts' advice, Trump and Kushner were focused on what would help the President on Election Day. By their calculations, Trump would be the "open-up president."

I realize it sounds nuts and I am not a fan of crazy talking or conspiracy theory but why the hell else would they just let virus burn us down?

9. Because they have never cared about ordinary people. NEVER.

We are just numbers to them.

Truth is these numbers are going to come to life on Nov 3 and hand them their collective uncaring asses on a platter.

16. We don't need no stinkin doctors to tell us about a pandemic.

Keep your head down, and your mouth shut, and work 'til the virus kills you.

The only important thing here is Trump's re-election.
