In this episode I reflect again on some of my feelings on the Coronavirus pandemic and Donald Trump’s alarming change of mind to wind down the social distancing campaign for the sake of the economy while downplaying the gravity and seriousness of this global pandemic. Donald Trump seems to believe we can both get the economy back to business while battling Coronavirus at the same time and that is not quite true. Short term sacrifices can lead to longer term benefits but premature termination of the social distancing campaign could be disastrous to our health care system and to the health of our country and world according to expert medical advice even up to the Surgeon General of the United States who emphatically urges social distancing. Also discussed is how the state governors such as Illinois Governor Pitzker have had to take the lead on handling this crisis in the absence of direction from Trump and the Federal Government. I also discuss some of the religious “explanations” for this health crisis, the contradiction of believing prayer and God are enough to heal illness while relying on doctors and medicine at the same time, etc.
