What Would I Do In Their Place?

My Strategy

Many years from now I will face certain crises if I'm ever elected into office. Our current President endures many a kind of public criticism or backlash for his behavior. Former President Barack Obama has called President Donald Trumps' response to the coronavirus crisis a chaotic disaster, which makes him even more sure that 45 must be defeated in November. Strong government leadership is not happening during this crisis, because the election that is coming up determines battle lines being drawn against selfishness, tribal attitudes, being divisive and causing others to see each other as enemies. This is what we are fighting, negativity at large, causing the world to believe narcissistic lies.

The White House press secretaries such as Kayleigh McEnany, state things that make the President look good, as an unprecedented, and live saving effort when the truth is that more people have died than not. New cases are on the increase, because of protests against police brutality creating gatherings. Masks are necessary to prevent transmission of the virus, only because they manage to stop it from entering your nose. I've had to delete non-mask wearers lately, and if they wind up sick, then they wind up sick.

The virus will cause untold amounts of chronic illness in the future since in some cases, it lingers, destroying lung tissue. Since the virus began to spread, the handling of the virus by the White House has been criticized. Even as far back as April, the President used the virus to brag about his own success. Simply put, the President has been "elected" into office, only because this is an experiment to see how far people will go. The first SARS was not as contagious. The second SARS, COVID-19, has become as contagious as it is because they designed it that way.

Our President has not used science as a tool, since Christian Churches in the Bible Belt have services, which result in contagion of other people with occasionally deaths of pastors. Other countries have contained their COVID-19 outbreak around the world, by now, but the United States is still struggling. The current coronavirus case load is 414,000 deaths, with 733,000 recoveries out of 2.36 Million plus 26, 558 confirmed cases. In the Bay Area, we are doing slightly better than say New York. You cannot ignore a stay at home order if you have chronic illness. I'm trying to keep myself well here.

The virus was designed in a lab, and it got out. The infection spread over Chinese New Year only because people decided to travel. World air travel was halted only because the virus can have no symptoms in an asymptomatic person. The virus is easy to get, and for people with underlying health conditions, hard to shake. The states that need ventilators should have gotten more of them.

The President should be more reassuring than he is. For his rallies, the crowds have not been as big as forecasted, with people finally starting to realize the gravity of the virus. The virus is quite a situation; a frightening situation that makes sure the entire population on this planet is scared. Everybody is under a stay at home order to prevent the virus from spreading. For goodness sake, wear a mask. Why some people haven't grasped that basic necessity of 2020 rules of engagement. The virus is taking those in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and people who didn't have underlying health conditions. I take mask wearing very seriously as I take the act of taking care of myself also very seriously. I would deal with the virus very differently if I were serving Congress or if I was Governor of California, which are steps towards the Presidency. What would I do differently? Why many things. I would do so much differently, by giving a measured and rational response and I would not have a denial complex either.
