True. But if the ship is sinking 1,000 miles from land it really doesn't matter how well you can swim.
With no island (read: no vaccine in sight), that's exactly where we are.
Mango Mussolini is hoping for a vaccine real soon so he can get re-elected. It has nothing to do with people dying, it's all about he, himself - so he can keep clutching his golden presidential trophy. So the White House is launching "Operation Warp Speed" (somehow that title doesn't bode well) to fast track a vaccine in the US. Don the Dolt didn't send anyone to meet with the international global vaccine alliance, although Bill Gates was there on his own accord as a private citizen. So it seems that the OrangeIdiot wants the US to be the first to come up with a vaccine so he can take all the credit and not those pesky Europeans and other awful foreigners. He keeps firing or demoting scientists who disagree with him. Doubtful any vaccine will happen here any time soon.
