18 states declare emergency in the face of COVID-19 advance

In the USA, the expansion of the coronavirus continues. According to the World Health Organization, that northern nation could become the epicenter of CoviD 19 in the coming days.

This Wednesday there are 55 thousand infections and deaths exceed 700 people. At least 18 states declared an emergency. What is striking is that in the midst of this drama President Donald Trump affirmed that the country will return to normal.

What reactions do we have to this expression of the US president?

President Donald Trump defended on Tuesday that his country cannot be paralyzed by the advance of the new coronavirus COVID-19, and warned that these measures could “destroy” the country.

In total defiance of what experts say calls for the isolation of people, Trump considered that in two weeks the country will return to normal. These comments generated all kinds of criticism. They have told him that he is dangerous, selfish, irresponsible and that he only cares about reelection and not the American people. This economic aid plan that is mentioned in that report was reached this morning.

Yes, it is a massive stimulus package that they hope will prevent the nation from falling into a deep recession due to the coronavirus crisis. They had been meeting for approximately five days and the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Congress that includes both houses, did not agree on who to direct the money games.

Today it is known that there are 18 states in Emergency and that one of the most critical is New York. With more than 700 deaths across the country, half of the cases are concentrated in that city, where Governor Andrew Cuomo had harsh criticism for the president for the way he handled this crisis.

In New York, the situation is complicated by the lack of so-called artificial fans that define life or death for many people. Let’s see this material that illustrates it perfectly. Now I want to talk about the hysterical reactions and expressions that are used in times of crisis. And very punctually to what was expressed by the Vice Governor of Texas, who stated that he was willing to sacrifice himself as a grandfather to save the country’s economy.

Dan Patrick, 69-year-old vice governor of Texas, who stated in a televised interview with Fox News, that there are grandparents, like him, willing to sacrifice their lives to save the United States economy, rather than imposing massive confinements to stop the coronavirus pandemic.

We have it on video and subtitled. Let’s be smart, let’s go back to work, but let’s not sacrifice the country. This Mr Van Patrick is one of those people who is in complete coherence with President Trump, in fact, he was chosen by Trump for his campaign in Texas. Van Patrick says that in order not to sacrifice the great American dream, that if this situation continues for months, the economy will collapse.

The journalist Tucker Carlson, who was interviewing him, even asked him: “Are you saying that there are worse things than dying from coronavirus?”, And he replies “Yes” … It is everything, before the economic collapse. You already saw it, they are from the expressions that are heard in these people with a supremacist mentality, who put above all money, the economy, before people.
