You stay safe, too.
I practically have to hog-tie my husband to get him to stay home. He is restless and tries to invent "errands." I did manage to keep him home today.

(305,440 posts)to be on the move having to stay home all the time. I used to be one of them.
We're on state wide lockdown here now as of today the 25th of March. We can only go out for groceries and meds until the last of April.
We can go running and walking, too, as long as we social distance. Which I am very grateful for.

(257 posts)That this is their intential strategy but if so it might actually be a good one. And while the criticism about Biden not being at the forefront is certainly a fair question to ask as it could be a lost opportunity to showcase "real leadership under crisis." Which shouldn't be that hard compared to Drumpf.
But it could be better for Biden to just stay low (he certainly has done this) and let Trump hang himself more and more. Because everyone knows Trump is not going to help any part of our Coronavirus response, our needed economic response or our "humanity" response and things are going to be bad for alot of people and the public writ large outside of the cult of Trump is gonna blame him. Trump will make this worse.
Then the media can't focus much on the Biden v Trump aspect which leads to (or hopefully leads to) more time on the failures of Trump's response. The media is always looking for the fucking "horserace" story. This strategy coupled with Biden's time being spent focusing on helping response efforts in any way like Biden spends time making lunch for doctors at X Hospital that is getting hit hard, Biden making calls to assist in anyway to fast track production of much needed medical supplies perhaps, Biden consoling families who have lost loved ones, Biden holding fundraiser for daycare assistance for single parents whose kid being off school cant afford all day care. These are just some possibilities but basically but anything he can to help wherever its feasible to look focused on assisting not politics.
Then he can later say (worked into a debate answer or an interview) "being a former vice President I understood the enormities Trump administration faced with the crisis, Superstorm Sandy was certainly a stressful time for the Obama admin so I really tried to refrain from criticizing Trump as I feared doing so would take his attention away from the needs of the American people and that wouldn't help America in crisis." Boom it sounds presidential and still has that criticism that Trump can't handle to much at once.
And this ad is really fucking good.
Trump's response to the reporter's question that gets posed to every President in time of crisis "what do you want to say to the Americans at home who are scared and unsure," is just jaw dropping. He couldn't say a few words of encouragement like "I'd tell them we have the best people on it" like he normally bullshits and instead responds like a little whiny spoiled child.
