Consider this scenario: The CDC approaches Madam President Hillary Clinton with projections of 2 million deaths and 50 million infected. Knowing the stock market will tumble from its record high 34,000, the president makes the grave decision to shut down the country and close all borders for the next 30 days. Sure enough, the market tumbles down to almost 30,000 and unemployment blows up from 3.2% all the way to 5.1%.
Her opponent from the general election continues to tweet about what he would have done differently and how she is overreacting to yet another Chinese hoax and the virus will miraculously disappear from the heat by April.
After the 30 days, with covid-19 having no new cases over the last week, Clinton now leads the nation in a day of mourning for the 3,800 dead, and the only people who know how many lives she saved would be those living in some unknown parallel universe where somehow the reality celebrity became the supposed leader of the free world.
