O/T:- What an absolute pillock this man is!

Donald Trump has sought to play down the threat from coronavirus despite mounting concerns about unchecked worldwide contagion, as Australia’s prime minister launched an emergency plan and said that the risk of a pandemic was “very much upon us”.

In a press conference in Washington, the US president said the danger to Americans “remains very low” and predicted that the number of cases diagnosed in the country, currently on 15, could fall to zero in a “few days”.

“We have had tremendous success, tremendous success, beyond what people would have thought. At the same time, you do have some outbreaks in some countries – Italy and various countries are having some difficulties,” he said, in remarks that appeared to be contradicted by officials from his own administration at the same media briefing.

The president also said that stock markets, which have seen substantial falls in recent days because of worries about the global economic impact of the virus, would recover, even attempting to blame the Democratic leadership debate for the losses on Wall Street.

Why ?

When I saw the headline, I assumed the post was about Ardley.

He’s not that much of a pillock, he’s put all the responsibility on the shoulders of that idiot Pence.

The man who reckoned smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Stay safe everyone.

Besides, I am sick of the knock knock knockers having a go at Arders.

Don't forget the Homeland Security guy who Trump recruited from Fox News. He yesterday testified that the mortality rate for Covid 19 is the same as for flu (it's actually 2000% higher than flu) and that a vaccine would be ready in a month and a half (a medical expert testified straight after that this was impossible).

Or his deputy who had to ask for help on Twitter because he couldn't open a map of the outbreaks on the internet (it was behind a paywall).

Still, in the words of the stable genius himself "there's a good chance you won't die from Caronavirus [sic] " - who in their right mind wouldn't be reassured by that?
