We&#8217;ve been on this corner for how long, 2-3 months.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know a little bit about corners and round edges.  If you just stay on a corner you end up going in circles.  Donald Trump&#8217;s COVID response seems a lot like going in circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been a driver for a long time.  What I want to know is what type of corner are we on?  Is it a traffic circle?  To successfully use a traffic circle at some point to get some where you have pick a road and get out of the circle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it a race track?  While some enjoy watching cars, horses, dogs, etc go in circles there is normally an end based on number of times around the corner.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me I feel more like a hamster running on a wheel.  A lot of exercise and hard work for little or no benefit.  I don&#8217;t see that we are getting anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I&#8217;m concerned about is that eventually we&#8217;re going to end up catching up with ourselves and walking up each others butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump is trying to tell us where we are in the pandemic.  Giving us a status report and provide what he feels is a positive message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it a plan?  No, it is a status report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there any action in his message as to how we can improve the situation?  No.  It is a message of don&#8217;t worry.  There is a nothing message.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The time has come for us to<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop rounding the corner, turn onto a less curvy road&#8230;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many times has he said this?
