The Emperor has Coronavirus but No Cure
The only thing surprising about President Trump contracting COVID-19 is that it didn’t happen sooner. He, his staff and advisors have all flouted distancing, wearing masks and other scientifically proven techniques to stop the spread of the pandemic, instead touting some extremely unproven and potentially deadly experimental treatments once an individual contracts the disease.
Some of us regular schmucks actually thought the experience would make the President more humble and compassionate. If anything, the opposite is true. Given the best medical care money can buy (he can thank us taxpayers later), his attitude has shifted slightly, from “it’s a hoax” to “it’s real, but what’s the big deal?”. From his sickbed at Walter Reed Medical Center he painted a rosy picture, tweeting Doing very well…Don’t let coronavirus dominate your life…Don’t be afraid of it…We have some very effective treatments and the best medical care in the world!
210,000 Americans (and counting) could not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on his promise of “a vaccine becoming available by October.” There are 23 days remaining. The most optimistic news so far provided by the pharmaceutical companies (who, by all rights, should know best) is a Spring 2021 approval timeframe.
