Yes, but I’m not sure what makes the most sense. My friend at work is giving his to a general manager at his favorite bar so it can be dispersed to the wait staff.

Whether the Spanish Flu or MERS or Ebola/Marburg or Swine Flu, there’s a logical reason. The Chinese government tried to kill their own people to create plausible deniability, then successfully forecasted Trump would somehow botch it up? That’s quite the crystal ball. There was one Chinese woman on the island of Palau five years ago making a Youtube video about bat soup, and somehow 1.5 billion are now bat soup connoisseurs. I guess if it helps you to sleep at night, we can all believe whatever provides us comfort and reassurance.

caulfield12 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 CNN’s Chris Cuomo has the virus. His brother’s doing so well with this now, he might be traveling westward across the country as it moves, bringing experts and an army of medical volunteers and ventilators with him. I think if I was with the Biden campaign I’d think long and hard about tying into these efforts, because he’s becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. Of course, he can just wait this out for 2-3 months and suddenly reappear on the scene, but he’s got to prove his mettle here somehow. Just criticizing Trump decisions or unpreparedness doesn’t do it anymore. They need to be presenting solutions from the top of their campaign, like Ron Klain. It’s a delicate balance because of his age, but his endurance/stamina and mental acuity have come under assault, and remaining in a Delaware bunker for months isn’t going to cut it.
