Panic would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, if properly harnessed.

You win the prize!

The orange asshole was treating the whole thing like a PR problem from day one. "Mustn't spook the stock market" was his mantra.

That is exactly what was meant.

He didn't want to tell the public about the severity of Covid so they didn't panic but doesn't think anything about telling housewives in the suburbs that BLM and Antifa are about to invade their neighborhoods and destroy their way of life.

Riiiiiiight.

It's just the worse failure of leadership in our life times. Noting is even close—not W's wars, not Reagan's treason then dementia, not Nixon's crooked ness.

Nothing is close. Nearly 200,000 dead and counting. He needs to resign now.

It's all he cares about, and his image.

I would have panicked had he told us then. But if I had known since The previous November, I would have had time to prepare myself for what happened in January.

Now I have to live with the “I think I had it, but I damn sure don’t want it again” bit.

I would rather have known.
