    Pence's Corona virus task force has no women.

    Honestly I would have been more surprised if there were women on the task force. Mama Pence is very jelly.

    This is about science, so why would there be any women involved?

    Seriously, while I SUPPOSE there is a 1 in a gazilion chance he picked the best people for the job, it's just a really stupid oversight not to have more diversity on the task force

    Because female doctors and scientists are among the leaders at CDC and women a majority of health workers. So you have to make a conscious effort to not have women.

    You know, like the Republicans' all male panel on birth control.

    I think it only has 2 or 3 doctors as well. Iguess that's all they could find that will lie for this administration.

    Dr. Deborah Birx seems like an excellent choice. She’s the State Department’s global AIDS director.

    Seema Verma is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator. Seems like a pretty logical choice for the task force too.

    Is it too early to start building statues of Coronavirus Mike? I think we should replace Portlandia with C.M.

    Are we married to the "Coronavirus Mike" name?

    How about Covid-Trumpteen?

    "Coronavirus" is a little long for a nickname; "Covid" just feels awkward. I think just simply "Corona Mike".

    Just like when ebola was a panic the media plays to people fears and emotions of which they are partly responsible for panic. These people running out to get mask is an example, they wont lsiten the doctors to not wear the mask unless you are sick, but they will listen to Fox, CNN, MSNBA spread the panic.
    We have a tremendous healthcare in this country and we usually get a Handle on things pretty quick.

    How my "Kung flu" name hasn't taken off yet is baffling.

    So then, rather than "Corona Mike", you'd go with "Kung Flu Pence-a"?
