@MitchBenn Interesting. I’ve always suspected there would be a whiff of formaldehyde about him. Maybe he really is an AI prototype to test our credulity.
@BarbaraDickson I think it was to have his hair re-done and lose the tango-ed look, maybe even get the teeth done and few days rest and sympathy before the final run (out of office I hope).

Irrespective of politics, this is how you communicate with the public. Not blaming particular groups. Not threatening people with hefty fines. Not saying that the military will be brought in to control the population. Acknowledge challenges, focus on the response & convey hope.
