Biden Mocks Trump's "Don't Be Afraid of COVID" Advice [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 11 Oct 2020 | John Semmens

President Trump's brief bout with COVID-19 was followed by him urging the American people to "not let it control your life. Don't be afraid of COVID. Go on and live your lives like Americans always have with courage, enterprise, and optimism."

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called Trump's advice "demented. If it weren't for fear of the virus we never would have been able to achieve much of what Democrats around the nation have these last six months. We have shown that it is possible to identify the essential industries and ensure their survival. At the same time we have been able to identify the nonessential industries and cut their access to scarce resources.'

"Second, we have attained levels of obedience to government directives that no one dreamed would be possible in America," Biden continued. "We told people to stay home—and they did. We told people to wear masks—and they did. We told people to inform on their neighbors who violated these directives—and they did."

"These achievements are the key to transforming America from a society of selfish individualism to a land of collective solidarity," Biden pointed out. "The notion that every American ought to be free to run his or her own life is out-of-step with how the rest of the world thinks. We should be grateful that the fear stoked by COVID has opened the path forward toward a more progressive and better future for our country. Voters can seal the deal on this transformation by electing Democrats everywhere on November 3rd."

“... Joe Biden called Trump’s advice “demented. ... “

“You’re killin’ me Smalls.”

Insanely hilarious !

Second half is insanely chilling and true.

Well, Joe, Trump DID manage to get over COVID faster than most people get over a common cold or flu, so...

Thanks, John for another newsy, informative, and possibly, slightly here and there, satirical column.

It should be included with every voters' information guide.
