We’ve all heard about the fact that the White House is sitting on numbers indicating that the pandemic will be getting worse over the next several weeks. Which would ordinarily make you wonder about this:
The White House confirmed today that the Mike Pence-led coronavirus task force charged with leading this nation’s pandemic response will soon be disbanding, with its work redistributed among federal agencies. The timing is peculiar: According to the administration’s own projections, COVID-19 deaths are expected to rise significantly in coming weeks after Republican-leaning states push to “reopen” businesses and public spaces despite expert warnings that the pandemic is continuing to accelerate.
This way, they can blame the governors. The guy who told us that he was the one who called all the shots will soon be telling us that the states are responsible and it’s not really his problem. Harking back to yesterday’s post, he’ll be laying the blame on all those Trump loving governors who are reopening their states against all medical advice.
