Love this so much:

I'd rather people appear to ask a stupid questions than not ask at all. 

In fact the flu vaccination is modified when a new strain of flu happens.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/how-flu-vaccine-works/

"Flu vaccines protect against 3 or 4 types of flu virus (usually 2 A types and 1 or 2 B types). Vaccine manufacturers produce flu vaccines based on WHO's recommendations."

Edit: As far as I can see the President was asking if the current Flu vaccinations could have a impact on the Coronavirus. Of course he aint a doctor and I'm pretty sure there are people in the world seeking a distinction and clarification of such.

If he asked since the beginning of this mess, people could understand but now? After a very long time, still ask a naively question like this? Is he dumb? All the scientists and doctors would have already found out that if it could work or not, and if it works, then the current situation would have been much better than this. The flu season in US is also quite serious, he could have asked other doctors/scientists about the flu and vaccine behind the door, but directly suggesting people about it after all this time? WOW priceless

Germans are tough motherfuckers! Or rather, much better at tracing and testing for the virus.
In Iran you either have mild symptoms or die :/ Same as in the USA.

Yes he is dumb.   Just listen to his fragmented speaking abilities.

this title makes it look like the virus was called covid-19, when that is the disease cause by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (like AIDS is the disease caused by HIV)

Speaking ability has little to do with someones general intelligence, it is one facet of something much broader. A mute could have an IQ of genuis level. The man ain't no fool. 

So how do you go bankrupt running a casino?

Some of it has to do with testing, Look a South Korea they are testing the most and a death rate of less than 1%. They catch it early and pretty much everyone that has it. The US is not testing as much. Iran Tested the first two cases after they were dead so they started behind from the beginning.

Wait... We're talking about Trump, right?

Yea I thought we were talking about Trump.  Anyways his pick to oversee the virus communication in US doesn't install me with too much confidence...

Mike Pence must be very busy praying these days.

Didn't help that the first test kits the CDC sent out were inaccurate.
