This is grim, but accurate. All you Fox viewers, ignore the science like you always do, sure it's just a hoax ;(
Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity. ― Robert Heinlein

Don't think we will be paying you for sitting at home doing nothing
- My boss.
Thing is it won't be her decision. I didn't have the heart to tell her. Stupid woman.

And now Trump is saying this. “This is a pandemic,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” And despite every statement to the contrary that he has made the last two months, his followers will swallow this latest lie. We have more than one plague in this country.

Actually, my new favorite of that day is the follow up about if he took responsibility for disbanding the pandemic office.
...And when you say me, I didn't do it. We have a group of people.
ALCINDOR: It's your administration.
TRUMP: I could ask, perhaps -- my administration, but I could perhaps ask Tony about that, because I don't know anything about it. I mean, you say we did that. I don't know anything about it.
Tony, Hey Tony!? You do that? Not me, not the head of the Administrative branch of government- not me. and he is on tape from last year describing how he got rid of people who were doing nothing but he "could get back immediately if we need them". (Ron Howard as Narrator: He didn't)
and this from the next day....
REPORTER: Mr. President, does the buck stop with you?
DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, normally, but I think when you hear the — this has never been done before in this country. If you look back, take a look at some of the things that took place '09 or '11, or whatever it may have been, they never did — nobody's ever done anything like what we're doing.
Such an idiot, so irresponsible. Doesn't know he heads the Administrative branch, apparently doesn't know what "The Buck Stops here" means.
I made a crappy photoshop using Truman's "The BUCK STOPS here!" sign and making it bigger so I could put the "...normally, but..." answer below it. I'd post it here but can't get to it right now.

And it wasn't her decision and I'm now off work for 12 weeks on full pay. But there will be no comeback on her for irresponsible and unprofessional actions. I can deal with and take on these idiots. But others can't and suffer untold mental angst. I'm gonna chill at home and forget about everything. But I won't because, It's impossible - Perry Como

No, they aren't. And I won't get to 2,500 and a brighter colour of stars unless I up my fluff ratio.
