Trump Turns to Pence to Calm Fears Over Coronavirus
President Trump addressed the nation from the White House briefing room Thursday, announcing he will be putting Vice President Mike Pence in charge of efforts to stem the spread and ease public fears over the coronavirus here in the US, blindsiding Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar - who had been leading the task force.
Because nothing stems public fears like putting a guy who doesn’t even believe in science in charge of coordinating our response to a worldwide pandemic and possible global economic collapse.
Shortly after being appointed, Pence grabbed the reins and immediately called for a complete ban of all Mexican beer imports, pointing out that “even though the virus has so far only affected Corona lagers, mother always says it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Not to sound critical, but I rather suspect that during volatile times such as these, many American’s are thinking that “now would have been a great time to have an actual president residing in the White House."

Two reasons: A) he hopes, thoughts and prayers, it doesn't hit hard here or that the ravaged CDC will work B) Pence will be the scapegoat (here comes Graham).

The only one whose fears will be calmed will be 45. He will have a scapegoat when it all turns to shit.

Pence needs to go lay hands on a few of the more seriously infected victims. Won't do them any good, but it might do us some. If he could come back and blow it up trumps ass, all the better.
