That might work if the election was say, within the next 15 to 30 days. Trying to scam the general population into believing that an unproven drug is some kind of "magic" cure is an awfully bold and risky move 7 months from an election, especially before a potentially staggering number of deaths has been realized.
- threeseed 7y agoConsumer confidence, unemployment rate and economy strength are all lagging indicators. People need to be working, shopping, socialising and the media reports of death and despair completely over before everyone is going to feel happy about the world. If we ended COVID-19 today it would take months for the negative effects to wear off. Just look at what happened after 9-11. There is a reason that the same right-wing commentators and Trump were so aggressively pushing the "get back to work" easter timeframe and are still talking mostly about jumpstarting the economy. Politics doesn't stop just because of COVID-19.
