The Coronavirus

[Bob Butler 54]

CNN has an article titled Scaramucci: This seems to be Trump's pandemic strategy

Scaramucci plays the time that Trump can't yell fake science, that "These are objective facts."  Seems to me he does yell fake science on other subjects, and he gets away with it with his base if, say, a subject like global warming don't show immediate and self destructive results to his base.  If their own interest isn't put at immediate risk, the rewards of ignoring science are worth the anguish cause other generations.

I’m not sure.  Anyway, I have an old Rodgers and Harmersetin song from South Pacific that has been running through my head on and off…

Quote:Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the moon floatin' in the sky
Lookin' like a lily on the lake
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly.
Makin' all the music he can make.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the star lookin' like a toy
Peekin' through the branches of a tree;
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

I figure it would make a fine ironic theme song if played over nurses, doctors, first responders, funeral directors and such like doing as they have had to.
