Credibility is a real problem when it comes to messaging from elected leaders, bureaucrats and media as we head into another ominous phase of the coronavirus pandemic.
Repeatedly we are told to shelter in place and wear a mask. We are told to avoid congregating in large groups. Experts, pundits, journalists and politicians tell us that any deviance from the guidelines is not only selfish but also potentially deadly. Indeed, President Trump has been deemed culpable in the deaths of thousands for not modeling good coronavirus behavior.
Wouldn’t it have been wise for Biden to ask his voters to refrain from unsafe activities?
Public demonstrations are an important part of our democracy and it is good to see elation from coast to coast. However, there is either a deadly pandemic upon us or there is not.
We have lost too many Americans to the coronavirus and sadly we are on track to lose more. We need elected leaders, public health officials and the media to be consistent with their guidance. Their credibility has already suffered and when that erodes it is the public who is put at risk.
A little honesty wouldn’t hurt either.
Its simple: Obey, submit, shut up.
So on Saturday November 14 the PA Department of Health reported 5551 news “cases” (positive tests...NOT hosptalizations or worse) and 50 new deaths.
Deaths are 0.09% of “cases”.
Obvious that COVID has been used for strategic political and sociological advantage by the Commie Rats from the beginning . . . like they had been planning it for months and months before it started. One of these days, somebody will feel guilty and tell all they know about the conspiracy.
The only reason you would need “messaging” is if your agenda was based on lies and you are having a hard time keeping them straight.
There is NO “WE” with the liars and thugs on the left... They can have their ‘message’ their butt boys in the press will try to push down our throats and we have OUR message.
NO, we do not want to ‘heal’ with the Tonya Harding political party no matter the words their speech writers or butt boys write for them.
The BLM/Antifa riots ended all credibility of politicians.
Public officials refused to let law enforcement do their jobs when faced with leftist riots, so these same public officials are unfit for office and cannot be taken seriously on any topic.
‘However, there is either a deadly pandemic upon us or there is not.’
the only pandemic among us now is a multiplicity of power mad politicians, drunk with the pliability of the governed...
‘We have lost too many Americans to the coronavirus and sadly we are on track to lose more.’
baloney; we’ve ‘lost’ few due strictly to this viral contagion...the vast majority are individuals who were in the endgame of life anyway...
How about THIS MESSAGE?
