The President has a “hunch” it isn’t that bad.

The best thing I've read on Corona
It will spread because so many carriers don't know they have it
Vaccines are a long way away
Containment won't work

This is how I understand the situation.

If I just got $8.3 billion this is what I would do. Huge tents and temporary structures in parking lots and spaces adjacent to hospitals with free, 24/7, rapid testing. Drive thru option. Some people can be reassured. Some can be told to self quarantine. Some can be sent inside.

And this is how we should be handling it.

Instead, we have to be grateful the President isn’t telling us all to drink bleach.

Remember the famous photo of W flying over flooded New Orleans, looking down on the devastation? Replace him with Trump: “I have a hunch it’s not that bad down there. Take me to Florida.”
