Here is what Trump and Pence just don’t get.
An expert in disaster preparedness has accused President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence of failing to grasp the fact that they are role models amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Dr. Irwin Redlener, who leads Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness, on Friday noted how some Americans were now ignoring social distancing guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the contagion that’s so far killed more than 77,000 people nationwide.
Redlener suggested they were taking their cues from Trump and Pence. The White House is pushing to reopen the economy, despite advice from public health experts. Trump has also hyped unproven treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, and said he can’t see himself wearing a face mask. On Friday, he appeared to question the value of widespread testing for the virus, a measure that is widely seen as key in the fight to suppress it.
“I think a lot of that stems from people saying, ‘Oh, I just saw the president on TV, he’s not wearing a mask and he says we should be getting back to business,’” said Redlener.
“I don’t think they grasp the impact of what they do and what they say on the American public,” Redlener continued. “Even though his popularity is dropping and his ignorance is showing full-scale, I still think he’s the president and he and the vice president are a role model and really, really terrible role models in this horrendous pandemic, unfortunately.”

hey dumbass, his name is in the first sentence in the next paragraph. Why read when you can’t comprehend any way?
A college professor isn't an expert if guessing rather than citing facts. I am an expert at welding but for me to say why a bridge failed in Nevada wouldn't make me correct.
What is your source?
A pediatrician is an expert on pandemics?
An activist....enough said.
Director of a COLLEGE institute is not an EXPERT just someone with an opinion (an activist opinion).
HE ADVISES De Blasio! He has been brilliant in this.
Are you really saying THE national center for disaster preparedness is run out of Columbia? Surely not.
Experts are to be trusted IF they don't have an agenda like this activist. HE is citing HIS opinion of a guy he can't stand. You might as well have said it wait, you have.
Anyone who has ever lead any organization or hell any family knows the importance of practicing what you preach. Everyone but you, Pence and Orange D-bag.
You should practice not being a d bag, then your posts would might mean something.
They and I, are not very worried about getting it so I guess they are.
Where exactly is THE national center for disaster preparedness located? Is that even a thing? Give yourself a title and become an EXPERT! At least Duck will believe you.
Further or farther, I never know when too use which one. Apparently I'm not alone.
"Further" Versus "Farther" The quick and dirty tip is to use “farther” for physical distance and “further” for metaphorical, or figurative, distance. It's easy to remember because “farther” has the word “far” in it, and “far” obviously relates to physical distance.Further or farther, I never know when too use which one. Apparently I'm not alone.
This one may actually be a rare case of both ways being correct but it would be dependent on how he was using it.
"Why read further?" as in reading more about a subject to a greater extent, or
"Why read farther?" as in read a distance down the page.
Am I right?

Does it really matter? It's not then and than.....two completely different words.
He was talking about reading in the same article so I have no idea what is right or wrong. But that ain't too unusual for me.
