I Can't Believe I'm Writing About This Again

The Schloss-Blog cannot believe it but we are writing about this again.

So, really, how many of you, even if you voted for Trump in 2016, believe as he does that we'll all be back to work by Easter and will have filled our churches on Easter Sunday, in joyous congregations, fear free of coronavirus?

Gee, he forgot to mention Passover Seders preceding that in that same week, but with all he's done for Israel - actually, all he hasn't done - maybe that oversight is not a surprise (pulling out of JCPOA and pulling troops out of Syria).

The president said there's a potential miracle drug out there to cure and heal us from COVID-19.

A man in Arizona, who heard Trump hype that drug, chloroquine, consumed it, but not in anything close to a medicinal form and not on the suggestion, recommendation or prescription of any doctor.

He's dead.

Did you vote for Trump? Do you believe him unconditionally?

With the social-distancing mandates in place in so many areas of the country, and so many people either self-isolating or quarantining, why are Florida golf courses packed with players (they are busy here in Arizona too, I know, I played - shame on me)?

The coronavirus knows no boundaries, no state borders. So unless all governors issue shelter-at-home orders, such mandates are virtually meaningless. Not all governors have as of this writing. In fact, as of this writing, 21 states have issued that order, but impacting well over 50 percent of the population.

But those orders, as we noted, do not prevent the virus from crossing state borders.

Just got an alert from American Airlines, my preferred carrier. Not only have they cut back on flights, they are issuing new on-board seating guidelines, spacing passengers apart for "social-distancing" purposes, timeline indefinite.

But Trump says America can be up and running like normal, back to work after filling church pews on Easter Sunday.

Hopefully, he meant Easter Sunday, 2021.

And now, the kicker. Will we back to work by Easter Sunday? Hey America, we just experienced 3.28 million unemployment claims filed.

In the last week, that is. A record - a record by some 2.6 million.

See you at Easter services.

Next year.

Maybe.

More tonight on my Radio Free Phoenix broadcast (11 p.m. Eastern).

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

Have you both been swabbed?
