Sir, incorrect, sir
That terrible missing theory of mind again.
“This was something that nobody has ever thought could happen…”
No. It isn’t. It is not. That is not what it is. What it is is not that. People who know about this subject absolutely thought this could happen, and that it would. Epidemiologists, virologists, journalists who read and talk to epidemiologists and virologists – they most definitely thought it could happen, and they said so. Trump never thought it could happen. Trump is a narrow, stupid, incurious, ignorant huckster. What he never thought would fill a cosmos, and is of no interest.
During the transition, the Obama administration prepared a simulated exercise involving just this sort of pandemic!
“Nobody thought this could happen.” As usual, that’s Trump-ese for “I never paid attention to this stuff.”
Nobody=Trump.
Which is fair because also Trump=nobody. He’s infinite void in an ugly blue suit.
