Defending his “humor and sarcasm” while addressing the nation during one of the worst times in American and global history.

Yeah, how did I not understand him joking around? Oh, it’s cause I’m not from NY?

I’ll use a NY response to that BS: C’mon, Son!

I’ll join LaLa land and accept that he was joking directly to the reporters; what exactly has he done or vocalized that has you assured that we are prepared to take care of our citizens that are most affected by this pandemic?

Some have mentioned friends and family that can’t pay mortgages or other bills because they can’t go into the office. Where’s the plan for those people? Force them back to work and risk their health and the health of those that come into contact with them?

Lots of low key comparisons to DT and BO and how the media would react if he did this or they said that. Let’s get down to brass tacks: the man running the country at this time is one of the least experienced people to do it and those that he has placed in leadership positions are equally as unqualified when compared to a majority of ALL predecessors.

And I just love the whole “Of course he wasn’t serious. If you READ and HEARD what he said, you’d understand he was joking because it was so utterly ridiculous! Duh! How dumb are YOU that you would believe what the President said while addressing the nation? You couldn’t tell that he was joking?”

Read the damn transcripts. He makes no sense and goes off on the most ridiculous tangent.

But I guess that just how New Yorkers talk. /s

And, there is some immunity to "normal" influenza, plus anyone who is in a vulnerable group or wishes to do so, can get a flu immunization. There is no vaccine for Coronavirus as yet.


Going to correct you on one thing here.

US administration cuts and a certain President’s inability to govern have left key positions in the Department of Homeland Security and ODNI either vacant or filled with a string of temporary or un-confirmed people. His political war against China has caused a bigger rift between your two nations than at any time since the end of the Cold War, resulting in a spectacular lack of cooperation and communication. No coherent transportation or immigration polices could be created in response to Covid-19 because the heads or deputy directors of CBP, ICE and TSA are past their statutory 220 day limit for Senate confirmations. So it's not just the experience or qualifications of those in charge, but not actually HAVING people in charge in some cases, that is troubling.

The same is true of almost every federal agency tasked with keeping Americans safe and working.

To top it off, the CDC chose not to re-fill the position of an embedded senior epidemiologist in China after the last doctor quit in July of 2019. That person would have been uniquely placed to get the earliest word of the growing crisis to Washington. Meanwhile, there is a division of military intelligence responsible for monitoring outbreaks around the world, but it seems that they (don’t worry, their Canadian counterparts were just as negligent) didn’t think or have the working connections to get the information out to public health officials. Or maybe they did, as your SIC Chairman seemed to be able to unload imperilled stock and warn his best supporters about the severity of the coming pandemic while his President was still saying it would all go away “like a miracle”. No wonder he is now casting aspersions on the WHO to try to throw people of the scent!

And that's just what I know of, as an outsider.
