Go buy a can of Lysol, I was shown the can of Lysol and read the label myself.
Store shelves are sold out of Lysol.

Stay tuned. He has much better advisors than you. And listens to them.
As a proven successful businessman he is always willing to change his position based on qualified input. It is called learning and adapting.

I honestly cannot tell if you post is serious or a joke.

Are you suggesting Trump has created a hoax so he can get on TV every afternoon and give a ton of money away in an election year? Interesting theory...
Here in UK it is not an election year. Our PM has more than four years of his term remaining.
Concentrate on staying locked down and staying safe.

The fact is he is leading our response magnificently. I tremble at the thought of any of the Dumbocrats mismanaging this like they did with previous less lethal pandemics. He gets my vote this time!
President Trump and John Bolton disbanded the NSC Pandemic Response team. They defunded the foreign labs that were tasked with a speedy response before it got to our shores. SARS, MERS and Ebola are far more deadly than SARS-Cov2. Previous administrations have a proven track record of helping those abroad with stopping these before they came to our shores. President Trump claimed for more than a month it was under control and for 2 that we don't need to wear masks. He himself still doesn't wear a mask.
The lack of preparedness and subsequent response has been the single greatest failure in federal government ever. The damage done will take a generation to repair. And to think it could have all been avoided! History will look back on this as the most colossal failure of leadership in modern history.
SARS-Cov2 has a R0 factor of roughly 2.2; that means the average person infects 2.2 people. If everyone wears a mask, washed their hands and takes basic precautions, the R0 factor goes below 1. An R0 factor below 1 means the disease dies out.

The mountains of the Rockies, and the Cascades along the Oregon Coast and the mountains of Northern CA, with the redwoods, and the Peninsula in the state of Washington are all of unprecedented beauty, and some of it mostly untouched by mankind. It is just awesome.

When one has been lucky enough to have traveled these places not only traveling as a tourist but living in several of them at one age or another - there are some prime places I have missed but with luck I will get visit them - for instance I am from the Pagosa Springs/Durango,CO area but "Never" been on the Silverton/Durango RR - but did live in Silverton when my dad worked in the mines there - i was 2 - but visited many times by cars.

Riding on the Silverton/Duango is a dream of mine. There used to be a scenic rail between Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, and McCall that I wanted to go on too, but they closed down. At least I get to travel the highway up there when I go to Boise, visit my brother and an old high school friend. Beautiful country. My friend has a home in McCall which is by Payette Lake, a beautiful lake and area.

The closest I ever got to that train is standing in my uncle's yard near Durango and watching it go by.
