How was this ridiculous though? I personally don't particularly feel like now is a great time to hop on a busy urban subway or get packed into a plane where a stewardess will go up and down the aisles touching every single person as she hands them a drink. :doh
It's irresponsible. This isn't a pandemic (yet if ever), and the VP is cautioning people to stay away from public transportation. For many, that's their own means of getting to work. So will they call out sick because the VP of the United States told them to stay away from public transportation? Do the subway employees, flight attendants and pilots all stay home? This isn't the time for this kind of statement. It's just plain stupid.
If this thing spreads, and we end up with a real horror on our hands, I'll apologize to VP Biden. But for now, I think he's being a fear mongering jackass. :monkey
