We’ve all dealt with the craziness on the left and now,sad to say,we also have to deal with the craziness on the right.
I may quit Twitter for that very reason,even though i hold the Trump supporters in the highest regard.The Wuhan virus seems to have killed common sense & the cognitive ability to reason.
Besides,i want to start focusing attention on the greatest political scandal of our time.The seditious act to take down a duly elected President of the United States.For now, a few words about the various conspiracy theories and outright misinformation making the rounds on social media.
People-there is NO VACCINE .They are feverishly working on one at the behest of the President. When there is one and it becomes available the first one to announce it will be President Trump.There is some hope on the horizon with various treatments.
Pres Trump pulled together a fantastic Coronavirus Task Force and put VP Mike Pence in charge of it. He called together some of the best minds to work on the task force with an all hands on deck approach. If you have an issue with Trump’s choice of ppl take it up with him but spare me the keep your enemies closer brainstorm. Pure nonsense. Pres Trump knows these decisions are a matter of life and death involving the American people. He’s not bringing his enemies closer to deal with a pandemic that’s all but destroyed the economy he grew and killed our own citizens.Sorry,but that’s nuts and this is far too serious a crisis to promote craziness. If you’re spreading conspiracy theories about his team you are questioning the Presidents good judgment in handling the crisis.
The team he has put together has been working tirelessly with him on minimizing the damage & saving lives.It doesn’t look like anyone on his team-including himself-has been getting any sleep. They all look exhausted. The President does his best to keep the American people upbeat and resolute; he believes there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I give Pres Trump a lot of credit for coming out every day to hold briefings with the press so he can keep the American people informed. They’re my main go to source for Covid-19 information.I also try to read legit[emphasis on legit] scientific and medical articles only [emphasis on only]related to the virus. They’re helpful.
What i find interesting about the briefings is how much Pres Trump respects the people HE [deliberate emphasis on Trump]appointed to the task force. I noticed lately he speaks to Dr Fauci on a first name basis,calling him ‘Tony’. Odd how the people involved in promoting conspiracy theories and the President’s opinion of Dr Fauci and Brix aren’t simpatico. Let’s remember that Dr Fauci is a doctor and he’s going to look at the virus impact through his purely medical lens. Pres Trump IS the President and he has to consider all angles including medical.He’s going to be concerned with opening up the economy. Dr Fauci is not. Pres Trump will be the one making that decision. Fauci can only advise him on guidelines. PERIOD.
I’ve heard the conspiracy theories about covid death numbers being inflated.Does anyone think Pres Trump is stupid enough to let that happen? How offensive is that to the families who lost loved ones?
Here’s the deal. Say patient A has stage 4 cancer. One day patient A goes into sudden cardiac arrest and is pronounced DOA at the hospital. Know what the cause of death is listed as? I can tell you. Sudden Cardiac Arrest. It’s how its been done for years;they are not going to make an exception to the rules for Covid-19 .
Was the modeling off? Modeling is modeling. Data is data.
Modeling will tell you what could happen. Data tells you what has happened. It goes without saying data is going to be more accurate.I will say this,nobody* had any idea what was about to hit us.Nobody had much of an idea what this virus could do but Pres Trump made the right calls anyway when he banned travel from China to the U.S. and eventually banned Europe.Thank God he had already worked on closing down our border! We still don’t know a great deal about the virus but we know a lot more now than when we first started learning about it.
No,Pres Trump did NOT call the virus a hoax. The media itself fueled the idea that the virus was a hoax by spreading the lie that the President said it was.Trump called the media-not the virus- a hoax and they are.
For my part i am not going to play arm chair ‘general’ and posit we should have done A,B or C. None of the decisions Pres Trump had to make were easy ones.The media gets to sit on the sidelines & critique him. He has to make the calls,hope they’re the right ones and live with the consequences. I would not want to be in his shoes;easy to be on the outside looking in.
He has stepped up to deal with perhaps the greatest challenge of his presidency even at a time when Pelosi,Nadler and Schiff were trying to impeach him.Let’s not forget what they were doing! Don’t let THEM forget what they were doing either.
Finally, THE question;when and IF they come up with a vaccine are husband and i going to get it? You bet we are. I am old enough to remember Polio. There’s a reason we don’t hear about it anymore-they developed a vaccine. I say IF because i have read if the virus mutates,which it could do,then having a vaccine produced could prove futile.
A suggestion for the people spreading these conspiracy theories and misinformation;JUST STOP. The Pres is doing his utmost to make sure he gets the best information out there to keep the American people safe and our economy afloat.He has a briefing nearly every day so we can stay informed. Listen to what he and the task force members have to say. It’s the best you’re going to get. Follow the guidelines the President has them lay out for us. Anything else is just background noise making the public more confused & possibly making terrible decisions that could cost them their life.Ignorance is not bliss,but neither is misinformation passing for legitimate information.It’s sensational & makes for a lot of social media ‘buzz’ but it’s not helpful to anyone.
Pray for our President,our health care workers, his team and surely our country. That we can do.Let’s be thankful he made the decisions he did and that he was elected President.I would hate to think where we would be at now were it the other person.I am absolutely convinced that he is the right person at the right time in our history.Feel free to disagree with that one-it’s only an opinion-but you won’t convince me otherwise.
*one possible exception:CHINA
