Day 1211 – Two Tiny Truths
Wednesday May 13, 2020
172 Days until the election on November 3rd
252 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
Truth 1: If Hillary, or Obama, or Joe Biden had been President there would be no pandemic.
Truth 2: Any thoughts you have of the White House or the Republicans in office doing the right thing are delusional.
You want to argue Truth 1? Yes? No?
How many people died in the U.S.A. From the HUGE Ebola Pandemic? You know the one Trump says Obama made a mess of? How many? Two. That’s right – TWO.
How about worldwide? How many would have died if one of the three I mentioned was in charge? It would be a damn sight lower. In fact, there probably wouldn’t have been a pandemic because as Joe Biden pointed out he would have sent people to China right away to figure out what was going on. What’s that called? Oh yeah, “Trust but Verify.” Who said that? Some guy named Reagan? Remember him? He started the real downhill slide of this country.
Remember when Obama was sending teams of people and supplies to west Africa to fight the Ebola crisis the Republicans were clamoring for shuttering our country. Well, we did that as our first attempt with this pandemic. How’d it work out?
Remember too that South Korea got its first case the same day we did. How’s it working out for them? According to just released data they have 256 dead from the virus. Oh but they’re a smaller country. Yeah, their population is 51M. Ours is 320M or six times.
Lemme see 6 * 256 is like 1536. Hum, which is better 1536 dead or 81,000?
The news and the president are talking about opening up the country and the economy. However, the health experts say you gotta do some basic stuff. It all begins with testing and we aren’t doing that.
So what’s going to happen? More people will die – needlessly. We won’t do the testing. The economy won’t come back.
The president is incapable of doing the job.
