2020 highlights in review: Who said it & when. No Google searches, just guesses.
“I think we are going to be in two, three, four weeks, by the tune we next speak, I think we’re going to be in very good shape.”
Question 2: “We now know, thanks to widespread blood testing, that the virus isn’t that deadly...The death toll is a tiny fraction of what we were told it would be.”
Who and when?
“Anthony Fauci has been wrong about everything.”
Who and when.
Question 4: This you will need to guess because it hasn’t been reported.
Name the only governor not to be willing to review the weekly COVID report on the spread of the virus in their state?
Scorecard self-grading:
0 out of 4: you must repeat 2020 over.
1 out of 4: Rudy Giuliani will be your personal lawyer
2 out of 4: your next door neighbor will pull the mask over his nose
3 out of 4: Welcome to 2021
4 out of 4: You will become a cable TV pundit.
answer key is coming. But so far, no correct answers to question 2.
If anyone thinks they possibly got all 4, put them all here & I will add a special touch.
If you’re ready for the answers...see the next tweet.
But the answer to all 4 could be any of the 4 answers really. You all pass.
The four correct answers.

COVID Update December 18: We got here not just because Trump did nothing but also because he asked nothing.
Biden plans to change that. 1/
Trump had no concerns letting us get to a place where thousands of day are dying. He had no understanding, no interest, and desire to prevent the pandemic from overwhelming the country. 2/
But doing nothing is not his only crime. Before there was a vaccine, and even now, our best medicine is how we communicate, how much we can unite, and our willingness to sacrifice a little to save a lot. 3/
COVID Update December 17: This is my worst thread. I hate writing it. But I have to write it. 1/
This is what happened yesterday in California. 61,000 new cases in a single day.
But it’s not the cases. It’s the trajectory. 35,000 prior peak. 2/
This is what happened in Minnesota. It’s not the decline to still historically high numbers. It’s that the governor was forced to majorly let up on restrictions yesterday at the first sign— a sure fire sign they are coming back. 3/
COVID Update December 16: Why you won’t hear me use the phrase “anti-vaxxer.” 1/
First let me tell you my opinion of vaccines. If they hadn’t been invented we would be so much worse off as a planet.
It’s probably a more important invention than Tik Tok. 2/
And the story of the first people who took vaccines is a story of “you’re serious. You’re going to put that in my body. GTFO.”
But the story with small pox goes (more or less) the first does went to the vaccine makers kid & when it worked all the next went to the king’s kids. 3/
January 6, I will be watching the Republicans in the House who plan to try to overturn the Electoral College and when they fail, will completely support those Congressional districts succeeding from the union as they threaten.
Best of luck.
It’s tough starting a new country under any circumstance. Having Mo Brooks instead of Thomas Jefferson and a handful of proud boys instead of Washington’s Army will add to the challenge.
Today is a day filled with so many important reminders. 1/
First— on the vaccine. Today is not the day of triumph. It is not the day of victory over COVID. But today is the day when we showed up to the fight. 2/
Today is the day our troops landed on the beaches. And like Normandy, many many didn’t make it. They gave themselves not willingly but because the country proved defenseless. 3/
