And just like that, science is back in vogue… Imagine being told ‘the doctor will see you now’ and having a heavily sniffing guy with thick orange and white makeup walk in with a weird expression and a bunch of conflicting data to tell you you’re gonna be fine. Would you feel better? Well, the pandemic of lies may have finally caught up with the administration because Americans and leaders around the world don’t feel better. And the stock market sure as hell doesn’t. You may be able to fool half the country, but you can’t fool a virus. Luckily, people know by now that presidential press conferences don’t pass the ‘adult in the room’ sniff test, and the rest of the world is getting ready for what looks like a potential bigly problem.
