So for those of us who are not as scientifically literate as we wish we were,

what should we make of the folks who are talking about how we should really all just be exposing ourselves

to develop some kind of herd immunity here?

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant Suit Politics, the home of grace filled political

conversations.

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Pant Suit Politics. Today we're going to catch up

on the headlines and we have brought Michelle back to answer your questions about COVID-19 because the

answer to do you have questions for Michelle was a resounding, oh yes we do. So we'll be going

through that later in the show with her but first we wanted to catch up on the myriad of ways

the Trump administration is failing in its duty to protect America during a global pandemic.

It is tempting for me to say he's bad at it and try to ignore all the ways that he's bad at it but

the reality is the consequences of his terrible leadership and their terrible decisions are starting

to really play out in many of our lives and we think it's really important to focus on that

and to process that before we go back to a place of he's just not up to the task. So we're going to do

that. We'll end this section on a positive note with local leaders who are up to the task and then

we'll share our interview with Michelle. Sarah what I'm hearing you say is that you want me to come

out of my basket of he's not up for it and really flesh out the items that I have put in that basket.

Well I just I think that's a couple things. One is it's so tempting to me to just be like

he's bad he's bad he's bad and yeah but if we don't stay laser focused on the consequences of

the different ways in which he's bad at his job. One we can't help the people who are being hurt

and two I just think that's his strategy is like do a lot about things at once so you can't keep up

and also find an enemy to go after which is what he's doing with the World Health Organization
