    It's not wiggling. Of course governors and other local leaders are responsible for their own jurisdictions.

    So, governors shut down the economy?

    Yes or no.

    COVID shut down the economy, the Governors, least those concern with the people they serve, reacted accordingly, did you think the economy was going to hum along beautifully if COVID was allowed to spread unabatedly

    What a silly gotcha game. No intellectual honesty.

    Like I said, they're responsible for their own jurisdictions. Trump is responsible for the nation.

    Was Trump honest in his communication about COVID? Yes or no.

    What an absurd answer.

    And thanks for admitting that *Trump’s economy* was humming right along until the governors shutdown their respective economies.

    You and Bartender should get some kind of award for tap dancing.

    So, the challenge for democrats is to gas light voters into thinking Trump crashed his own economy.

    Good luck.

    With a lot of work, there is a possibility, but not a likelihood, of early 2021. Late 2021 would be more realistic. October is a sick joke by a pathetic old orange man.



    If it turns out to be the easiest of the vaccines to produce, then we could have 100 million doses by early 2021. The odds of the easiest vaccine working are very low.

    There is a lot of evidence that the vaccine will not work well. So vaccinating those in greatest danger will not do much. You need to target the most likely to transmit the disease in order to try to stop the spread.



    The two big underlying conditions would be not having access to universal healthcare, and being overweight. That describes Americans.
    I suppose, as the President says, we'll see.

    We have seen, for a while now. Or at least those of us who were watching have been seeing. You really need to open your eyes, and see what trump has done to America.

    You think voters are quick to try to shift blame from the chief executive of the country?

    No luck needed. Trump is on tape admitting he downplayed things. The cost of that was enormous.

    Ignoring reality seems to be the hallmark of the Never Trumpers.
