Yesterday former President George W. Bush called for a non-partisan response to Coronavirus, I’ve been trying to find the words.
Dr. Brix described the demonstrations at the State Capital in Michigan, with guns and Trump flags, as “devastatingly worrisome”. It looked like a choreographed campaign rally to me and President Trump cannot or will not stop encouraging them while admitting this morning that Covid-19 deaths could go over 90,000. Thank you George W for pointing out what presidential leadership should look like in this crisis.
Even if the assistance checks were enough, which they are not, the country cannot continue long with business and industry shut down. We have to find a way to gradually and safely move forward. However the President cannot restrain himself and keep politics out of it.
This is a very contagious disease. You can catch it just by talking to someone at a normal distance. It can be spread by people who have no symptoms themselves. It is not the flu. 65,000 have died in this country and not all have been old or infirm. Some shake it off while others become extremely ill or die.
In Trump’s rush to reopen the country, there is a calculus of death, some of us will have to be sacrificed. If we cannot stop more deaths we can damn well try! Stop talking at cross purposes.
