Pence says reopening economy critical to ensure 'cure isn't worse than the disease'

WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that the Trump administration wants to be sure that the coronavirus “cure isn’t worse than the disease” as the White House takes steps to “put America back to work as soon as we responsibly can.”

Pence pointed to the White House’s recently-announced “Opening Up America Again” plan, which lays out suggested guidelines for states to follow as they move toward relaxing the social restrictions that have been aimed at slowing the spread of a virus that has already infected at least 728,000 Americans and is responsible for more than 38,000 deaths in the U.S., according to NBC News analysis.

He said that America is seeing “encouraging signs” that those restrictions are “slowing the spread” of the virus in major hot spots, and that the “full partnership with governors around the country” to eventually “put the coronavirus in the past.”

“No one wants to reopen America more than President Donald Trump, and I think the American people have known that from weeks ago when the president declared that important balance: We have to make sure the cure isn’t worse than the disease,” he said.

9. That one is trying to stick...

Remember that General Trump and Co, are still test marketing something that will stick. This "cure isn't worse" is very weak in contrast to the actuality of the pandemic, though. I don't think it will hold ground in a larger sense, but it is a great rally cry for oligarchs and corporate interests, that is, if they want us to equate such a barbaric idea like that with their reaction to the crisis.

As in: "The wealthy, corporations, oligarchs and Republicans all agree that their interests in the economy rather than their response and help is what matters most and makes the people of America expendable, but all for a good cause, of course. Thank you for shopping AmeriCaptialism Inc.! Sorry about your illness and deaths, (well, not really, but we had to say that to sound nice).

As far as I am concerned, we have to major crises here: 1. The pandemic itself. 2. Trump and Pence and their crazy Corona Gang.

Pence is an icon of a disaster of its own kind.
