If the Orange Blimp doesn’t pull a miracle vaccine out of his ass – and fast – the Trump-Virus is going to end his time in the oval office. UW’s Institute for Health Metrics (the White House preferred statistical gurus), now project nearly 260,000 Covid 19 dead by November 1st.
And that number assumes a re-locking-down of the economy, and probably lots of bleach and hydroxychloroquine being available; otherwise it’s 300k easily; and it’s a number Democrats will hang on him without mercy, the week before the election. The FDA has to be open to possible vaccines coming from anywhere, including China and Russia, and Trump simply has to stop fixating on the stock market as a measure of economic health – because it’s not. The stock market is simply a gambling venue; and has no relation to what makes the economy tick over. The American economy is about employment, jobs, supply and demand, all of which are stagnating because of the Trump-Virus; it’s killed the economic momentum which began in Obama’s first term, and was going great guns through Trump’s first three years – but Trump’s pandemic has turned that around in six bloody months.
On top of which it has made the U.S. a kind of third world poison pit, the rest of the world is now avoiding, for by wide margins, the Trump-Virus still rules the Covid 19 world in infections and deaths.
Doing nothing but spinning flimsy lies about how great a job he’s done, is not going to reduce the numbers of Americans dead from the Coronavirus. He needs to do more to stop it from spreading.
