Reassurance from the Chief Anti-Scientist

This evening, Our Dear Leader advised the American public that we have little to fear from the coronavirus pandemic (hyped by the fake news organizations) and named his adoring side-kick, Mike Pence, to oversee efforts to contain its spread in the U.S.  Pence is a perfect choice for the job since he will certainly never contradict the President.

Having cut funding for the CDC and World Health Organization, Trump is convinced that our medical experts will be able to control the virus (with the help of warm, spring weather, of course).  No doubt, he is primarily worried that the coronavirus will significantly impact our economy, just in time for the November elections.

However mild or severe its effects in the U.S. turn out to be, Trump will find someone to blame (Obama would seem to be a likely target).  Of course, we cannot expect any leadership from the Trump Administration, dominated as it is by anti-scientists and climate change deniers.
