https://www.alternet.org/2020/01/pathological-trump-cabinet-member-slammed-for-saying-coronavirus-outbreak-will-bring-jobs-back-to-us/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3613snip of article:
President Donald Trumps Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, whose job reportedly was on the chopping block last year but somehow managed to keep it, just announced his belief that the deadly and fast-spreading coronavirus will bring jobs back to the U.S.
The coronavirus has killed 170 people and there are 7711 verified cases. Death updates are coming sometimes several times a day and in the double digits.
But Secretary Ross found a way to put a positive spin on it.
Every Americans heart has to go out to the victims of the coronavirus, Wilbur told Fox Business Maria Bartiromo, So I dont want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate and very malignant disease.
But the fact is it does give businesses yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chains, he said, pivoting.
What a sick pig.

Don't let Bartiroma off the hook. In the earlier interview, she was scarcely any better.

"and we don't have a president during this time."
Seems I was right. Wish I wasn't.
