should have press conferences queued up and ready to go. Then just wait until Trump finishes his daily blather and go on air right after with a panel of experts along with charts and graphs. They should spend an hour or two going over everything Trump said providing truthful answers and refutations to Trumps complete shit show using soundbites from the orange jackass' talk. Then open it up for questions from the press. That would be productive.

Maybe not the CEOs, but for damn sure the nursing staff and their peeps (and I include in that the people who have to mop floors, make meals, and take out trash), cause they're the ones who know damn well how seriously they take their jobs and their patients.
Waxing floors and pulling trash ain't overly difficult; you dont keep doing those job at a hospital during an infectious disease outbreak that could very well kill you for the sake of just showing up UNLESS you believe in the 'Greater Mission'.
And they will remember what was said about them. And both trump and Biden know this.
