With all of the health, economic and technical experts at the disposal of the president of the United States, how comforting would it be if you knew that one of the sources used to create a response to the coronavirus was ideas crowdsourced from Facebook?Come to think of it, probably not that surprising at all, considering the fact that Trump doesn’t like science and prefers spinnable BS.But according to a Washington Post report, that is exactly what happened after Trump son-in-law commandeered the White House coronavirus response effort last week. He jumped in to save the day, helping to write Trump’s disastrous speech – the one where he sounded like a zombie on Percocet – and calling up his friends to get ideas from their Facebook friends.Then, Senator Sherrod Brown produced a letter proving that Trump did, in fact, know about the closing of that global health security office, despite the president’s claim to the contrary.Meanwhile, the situation continues to worsen and medical professionals warn of a catastrophe if cases skyrocket, like they did in Italy because of insufficient hospital and emergency room capacity.  And, there are worries about danger to healthcare professionals, themselves.I took a look at all of that today, March 15, on Not Fake News.biz. Crowdsourcing a Coronavirus Solution in the Face of Catastrophe.Take a listen.
