Коронавирус и Трамп
Мне страшно неудобно перед той частью аудитории, которая поленилась выучить английский язык межнационального общения, но я, в силу стечения обстоятельств, жутко объелся тортами и конфетами, и мне теперь тоже лень переводить нижеприведенные цитаты 😸. Попробуйте в крайнем случае воспользоватьcя deepl.
"Лапочка Трампусик", как его нежно называют некоторые приверженцы, или лживая рыжая сволочь, как его называют некоторые другие, отметился следующими высказываниями:
1. Donald Trump: We’re Mobilizing Military to Distribute Future Coronavirus Vaccine (14.05.2020)
President Donald Trump said in an interview Thursday he is already mobilizing the military to help distribute a coronavirus vaccine as soon as it is developed. “Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year we’re going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly,” the president said in an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, which aired on Thursday morning. The president said that distributing the vaccine would be a “massive job” and that he would move quickly to get it distributed. “Unless you’re mobilized and ready, you’re not going to be able to do it for a long time. So we’re starting now,” he said.
2. Donald Trump: Wear a Mask, They Have an Impact (21.07.2020)
"President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged Americans to wear a mask to help fight the spread of the coronavirus.
“We’re asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask,” Trump said. “Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they’ll have an effect, and we need everything we can get.”
The president spoke about masks during a press briefing on recent flare-ups of the coronavirus.
This was the president’s strongest endorsement for wearing a mask, despite expressing skepticism for months about their effectiveness at preventing the spread of the virus.
Showing his mask to one reporter, Trump said that he carried it with him and put it on when he was unable to properly socially distance to prevent the spread of the virus.
“I carry the mask … I have the mask right here. I carry it and I will use it gladly. No problem with it,” Trump said. “I’ve said that and I say when you can: use the mask.”
Trump recalled, however, that federal doctors once advised against wearing masks, but he said that he now supported the idea after the professionals changed their guidance.
On Tuesday, President Trump also promoted wearing a mask, sharing a photo of himself on Twitter."
3. Trump: I’d ‘Absolutely’ Be Willing to Be First to Take Coronavirus Vaccine (22.07.2020)
During a portion of an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” President Trump said that he is “absolutely” willing to be the first person to take a coronavirus vaccine.
Fox News Medical Contributor Dr. Marc Siegel asked, “As commander-in-chief and leader of the free world, would you consider being one of the first to take this vaccine to send a message to the American public?”
Trump said, “Well, you know the way it works, if I’m the first one, they’ll say, he’s so selfish. He wanted to get the vaccine first. And then other people would say, hey, that’s a very brave thing to do. I would absolutely, if they wanted me to, if they thought it was right, I’d take it first, or I’d take it last, Marc. You do know that if I take it first, I’ll be - either way, I lose on that one, right? If I take it first - and if I take it - if I don’t take it, they’ll say, he doesn’t believe in the program. But whatever I think is best, whatever we all agree is best, I would certainly do that.”
4. The Trump Administration Throws Its Support Behind a Vaccine (23.07.2020)
The U.S. government has reached a $1.95 billion deal to purchase 100 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine being developed jointly by Pfizer and the German firm BioNTech, one of the largest single investments in a vaccine to date. The vaccine will be administered in two doses, so the initial agreement will cover the inoculation of 50 million people, contingent on the Food and Drug Administration determining that it is safe and effective. The agreement also allows for an additional 500 million doses at the beginning of 2021.
