Trump claims to have ended the pandemic

margaretms2 · 2020-10-28T15:06:37.661Z

Mark Meadows, last week:

We’re not going to control the pandemic.

Trump, soon after:

In fact, the opposite. Absolutely the opposite. We’ve done an incredible job

Here’s Hogan “My name sounds like one of Elaine Benes’s made-up boyfriends” Gidley today, responding to this “accomplishment”:

“Do you think the pandemic has ended?”

Hogan Gidley: “We’re moving in the right direction.”

“…Ended?”

“I’m not going to quibble over semantics.”

Suburban moms, the people who Trump needs their votes, loves hearing things like this when they are virtual schooling their children and trying to get work done.

And that Trump is getting their husbands back to work.

Covid-19 has ended.

We have moved on to Covid-20.

Meanwhile, everyone I know is stocking up for a difficult winter. Just in case the state needs to shut things down.

Biden said Kamala has a wife. That’s MUCH worse.

Almost time for Covid 21.

A lot of GOPers view COVID as largely an election-year hoax that will mysteriously disappear after November 3. LOL. What do they think it is? A caravan?

Trump: “We’re rounding the corner.”

Economy: “Iceberg dead ahead!”

A couple of my staff genuinely believe this and will not believe that we’re going to be wearing masks at work at fifty percent capacity until next summer minimum and that assumes a vaccine is ready by March. My biggest worry is that capacity is going to get cut to twenty five percent again in the obvious upsurge happening and it’s cold now so no outdoor seating.

I know people who also think that Covid will go away after the election. I think it might be by next summer, but not right after the election.

I normally travel a lot for work. In the last couple of months as things seemed to be getting better I traveled a couple of times for meetings where it was important to be in person. So Southwest, Marriott, and Avis got a bit of my company’s money. With the covid situation raging again I told my work I’m not going to do any traveling for the time being.

I think that we are going to see a new normal come out of this. Companies are realizing that the work can get done with employees working at home and teleconferencing. However there is a downside. Think of all the office space that won’t be required in the future. There might be some commercial landlords that are going to experience their tenants cutting back on the space they need. And as you eluded to the airlines, hotels and car rental companies are certainly going to take a long term hit. And downsizing is going to lead to a new unemployment problem.

And he said he was Kamala’s running mate. And that he was not joking.
