This outbreak is a reflection of how the WH has handled the national response to this virus. They have continued to ignore the advice and guidance from health officials and scientists. And they’ve endangered the livelihood of those around them as a result.
What’s more is that there’s an expectation on their part that everyone else has to play by the rules. And the WH is quick to point the finger at state leaders for not doing enough to stop community spread.
You’d think by now that there’d have been some public reckoning on the WH’s part that more than 200,000 have died from this virus. But the message has been ‘its bad but it could be worse and we’re opening back up’.
That messaging has consequences. It instills a sense of false security that the virus has somehow disappeared. And that we’re all safe moving forward. More importantly, the messaging around masks- that you don’t really need them- is dangerous. People listen to the president.
