While I understand the economic ramifications of a pandemic that could get out of control, there may be something to what Joe had to say. I disagree with the White House trying to dance around his remarks and his having to explain himself. If I had a wife and kids, I certainly would tell them to avoid air travel and public transit – especially here in Arizona. Why can’t Joe have the same freedom to express his wishes to his family?
Here’s a surprise: I agree with you. Common sense dictates that if a widespread virus is going around, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Joe can’t say it aloud because it may upset someone’s feelings or cause a panic.
I’m kinda interested in the subject too, so I hope you come out with more of the same stuff.
