Trump Administration Officially Gives Up Trying To Fight Pandemic

The United States now stands alone among all the countries on earth, not just in the total number of Covid-19 cases, but in the fact that we have completely given up trying to fight it. The new messaging coming from the White House is that we will just have to find a way to live with the virus, even as the rest of the world closes their borders to Americans because they actually did what was needed to beat the pandemic in their countries. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

The United States now stands alone. Not only as the country with the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, but also as the only country on the planet, that's decided to hell with it. This is just our lives. Now, every other country that has been infected with this pandemic has at least on the national scale, tried to do something, you know, enacting some kind of national policy, national stimulus, uh, national lockdown, national quarantine, national social distancing policies. They've done that. We here in the United States bailed out big businesses. Uh, we made a lot of money available for small businesses, but ended up letting the big vultures come and take that for themselves as well. And we gave air, uh, half the population of the country, 1200 bucks. Once the countries that were able to overcome coronavirus were given their citizens one to $2,000 every single month during this so that they would be okay, staying home.

They wouldn't feel the need to rush out in the middle of a pandemic and go back to work. They would be taken care of, you know, they forced the quarantine. They forced these stay at home orders. I mean, some countries actually went around door to door, checking people's temperatures, but also making sure that they had food and the necessities that they needed to be able to survive here in the United States. Nope. A patchwork of 50 different States coming up with 50 different plans, which all became moot. The second one person traveled from this state to that state, because maybe you had lack standards here, but the tough standards here, but you just brought your possibly infected ass over to this state. We did nothing nationally really to solve the problem. And now the federal government, the Trump administration has said we're giving up and their new policy. Now their new talking point that they are crafting and tinkering with is that we as Americans just have to figure out a way to live with it. This is our life. Now deal with it. Go to work, go contribute to the economy slave.

Oh, and, uh, try not to get sick. Cause if you do, you know, yes, we have lots of treatments for it. Now the white house is telling us, but what they're not telling us as one. No we don't. And to the few that we do have, we're going to cost you thousands of dollars. Literally. Some of them, in fact, the most effective one, I think is a desert desert. Uh, if that's how you pronounce it, uh, three grand for a treatment for a course of that three grand, but you only gave us a stimulus of 1200. Yeah. How's that supposed to work? What about the 40 plus million Americans who lost their jobs? And Trump's out there saying, Hey, we added 4 million jobs in June. Cool. We lost more than 46 million overall. So we're still at a negative 42 million from when this thing started. What about those?
