Kudlow: 'There is no second wave' of coronavirus

Source: Politico

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Friday declared that a “second wave” of the coronavirus was not descending upon the country, even as cases of Covid-19 are spiking in more than a dozen states.

“There is no emergency. There is no second wave. I don’t know where that got started on Wall Street,” Kudlow told “Fox & Friends.”

Although Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, acknowledged he is “not the health expert," he said he had spoken with the administration’s top public health officials “at some length” Thursday evening. “They are saying there is no second spike. Let me repeat that. There is no second spike,” he said.

“What you do have is certain spots are seeing a little bit of a jump up. Some small metropolitan areas are seeing it. The CDC and the health people are all over it. They’ve sent some task forces out to deal with it,” Kudlow added, partly attributing increases in Covid-19 cases to more widespread testing availability.

Also, some people say that he is often drunk when he goes on the air to give interviews. Maybe he has changed his drug of choice.

I have seen interviewers snicker at each other after they interview him. They try to hide their smirks, but, oh well...

anyone working in this administration leaves any ethics or self respect they ever had at the door. Ol' Larrry has appeared drunk on TV a few times. tRump was unable to hire any ethical, honest, caring people. He drained the swamp and kept the leftovers.

In the beginning he totally ignored the warning, then said it was a “Democrat Hoax”, then said it would go from 15 cases down to zero cases.

Had he taken the warnings seriously we would be in a far different place now.

During my days I worked in stock brokerage firm whenever he came on CNBC the traders In the room laughed at him and said he was an idiot and that no one would hire him on Wall Street because he lost too much money. He was such a joke they muted him on TV. Even this big hedge fund trader who came to visit used to tell stories about him that weren’t too flattering. And I won’t even mention what he said about Maria Bartiromo.

He also said that there is no systemic racism. What more proof does anyone need that he's delusional?

Unless, of course, in both instances he's lying through his teeth, in which case he's just flat-out evil.

“What you do have is certain spots are seeing a little bit of a jump up. Some small metropolitan areas are seeing it. "

Could that be the rising of the second wave that you insist isn't there? After all, the first wave started with just a little jump from "no cases" to "some cases". Then it was "a lot of cases" to "holy-shit-how-are-we-going-to-keep-up-with-all-these-cases?!"

Seriously, WTF is it with all this talk about a second wave as if the first wave ended. We tamped down the wave to a place where cases were just starting to plateau, then gave up on sheltering, taking the brakes off the wave and it is gaining steam.
