CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 31, 2020
SOME PEOPLE, LIKE PRIZE FIGHTERS, STAY TOO LONG ON THE SCENE WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE RETIRED LONG AGO. BEST EXAMPLE? THE 80-YEAR-OLD SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, NANCY PELOSI.
PELOSI CLAIMS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY OF THE DEATHS FROM CORONAVIRUS BECAUSE HE DIDN’T ACT FAST ENOUGH. LIKE BARACK OBAMA, WHO WAITED NEARLY FOUR MONTHS BEFORE ADDRESSING THE H1N1 VIRUS?
THIS PRESIDENT HAS MOBILIZED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN WAYS NOT SEEN SINCE WORLD WAR 2. EARLY SIGNS ARE THAT IT’S WORKING. IN WASHINGTON STATE, NEW CASES SEEM TO HAVE FLATTENED OUT – FLATTENING THE CURVE THEY CALL IT. IN CHINA – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THE NEWS – PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO RETURN TO WORK IN WUHAN WHERE THE VIRUS APPEARS TO HAVE EITHER ORIGINATED OR BEGAN TO SPREAD.
WHILE NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND CONNECTICUT, AS WELL AS CHICAGO AND OTHER CITIES AND STATES HAVE NOT YET REACHED THE FLAT CURVE PROJECTIONS, THERE ARE HOPEFUL SIGNS. THE PRESIDENT HAS EXTENDED THE ISOLATION REQUESTS UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. IT WOULD BE NICE IF PELOSI AND COMPANY WOULD JOIN THE FIGHT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
