(29,227 posts)it will, in fact, go away all on it's own... as our immune systems recognize the pathogen and attack it... only 30 Million or so of us will die in the process,
Or... in a year we will have a vaccine which will train out immune systems to kill the pathogen. Then perhaps only 3 Million or so of us will die waiting on the vaccine.
You go out and get infected first, Mr. pResident.

(2,809 posts)With so much BS to unpack in this confabulatory rant, a bit surprised he didn't start on the "you're fake news" rants again there.
Still not one hint of truly compassionate selflessness in times of dire needs, just self serving rhetoric with bobblehead Pence silently pwaying to his Jeebus that reality doesn't catch up to either of them... not a scrap of admirability or dignity left between these thieves.

He got one part of that right.
