S 5, Ep. 22: The Opposite

Here's a key question for the Rev. Derrick DeWitt, director of the Maryland Baptist Aged Home in West Baltimore, a 100-year-old nursing facility that has had no coronavirus infections: What was the moment you realized the threat was real and that you had to take action to protect your residents and staff?

“Right after President Trump said we had 15 cases and it would soon be down to zero.”

I dare not put words in a Baptist minister's mouth, but it sounds like he listened to what the President of the United States had to say, then decided just the opposite would be true.

“It does sound like that,” Reverend DeWitt agreed.

— from “How a West Baltimore nursing home has zero COVID-19 infections,” Dan Rodricks, The Baltimore Sun. You know that “Seinfeld” episode where George decides to do the opposite and winds up succeeding beyond his wildest dreams? We should all do that but with Trump. Seriously.
