So, our Coronavirus Czar is going to be … Mike Pence. Feeling more secure?
“I know full well the importance of presidential leadership,” the vice president said as soon as he was introduced in his new role.

Yeah, when you think of Mike Pence you maybe don’t think about Pandemic Fighter Supreme. But as President Trump pointed out repeatedly, he has already run Indiana.

Meanwhile, he’s come up with a totally new explanation for the stock market skid. It turns out investors were not frightened so much by the pandemic as the Democratic debate.
“I think the financial markets are very upset when they look at the Democrat candidates standing on that stage making fools out of themselves,” Trump told reporters.

Because it deserves to be pointed out.
And lets call Ebola Obamabola.
Had they done so, quarantining all homosexuals early on, AIDS would be a footnote in medical texts about African diseases.
Wow.
This will end in blow back.
Keep your opinions coming NYT!
What a bitter loser.
I suggest that we change the name of the virus from COVID-19 to: STUPID DIMocRAT DISEASE.
