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 dont 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 administrations 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. Theyve sent some task forces out to deal with it, Kudlow added, partly attributing increases in Covid-19 cases to more widespread testing availability.

(30,657 posts)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...

(9,426 posts)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.

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

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 werent too flattering. And I wont even mention what he said about Maria Bartiromo.

From the dogmatic Chicagoites, to the heartiest Keynesian, they all think he's a joke.

(187 posts)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.

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?!"

(3,976 posts)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.
