Fake Coronovirus Cures vs. the "Darwin Award".

Post Reply New Topic

Thoughts on after sleep and having read Ezra’s post immediately below my earlier one:

• It is true that there is no link between Mr Trump’s response to being questioned about the substance in question and this specific event. So holding him personally culpable in this instance is unfair.

• However, he should have some kind of memorised script along the lines of “until and unless I notify the public that a cure has been affirmed by the CDC and FDA I would advise them to approach all claims of a cure they come across with caution and scepticism.”

• The fact he does not could be construed as reflecting badly on his aides: all negative things that have and can be said as to his character and intellect taken into account they’ve had four years to work out how to manage him and help him do his job effectively.

• One could argue he is being let down by his staff, and feel a degree of sympathy for a man in a very difficult job he is most likely not enjoying: without relinquishing grave misgivings about his fitness for the job in the process.

I agree some and would agree more if he had not tossed in provisos such as "it could be" "it might work" and "we don't know".
