^ Some now want to make the simple statement of a
fact as being
political.
Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the
White House.
It's mid-April and the virus hasn't been
going away.
Rhetoric like that is dangerous and gives coaches like Gundy cover to push for early reinstatement of football activities.
Countries w/ a tropical climate like Vietnam are undergoing harsh measures in attempts to mitigate the spread.
It's only
political if one doesn't like what the statement of fact portends.
The governors of FL, GA and TX have done a poor job leading mitigating efforts in their state, but the governor of Ohio has led an exemplary effort.
The mayor of NYC, de Blasio has done one of the
worst jobs, mirroring and pushing for many of the same things at the early onstage that fly in direct opposition to mitigation efforts.
Fauci has had to back-track (on his words) when he simply stated that the country would be in better shape if it had instituted mitigation efforts earlier.
Was the simple statement of fact
political, or was it the brunt of attacks from the right that forced Fauci to back-track political?
