A politician in Washington DC is meeting with his advisors. They show him a map of the united states, where some sort of virus is expanding/spreading from the center of the country. The advisors look angry, and the politician looks worried.
A deadly virus spreading throughout the united states is unusual, and the fact that the politician looks entirely unprepared for this occurrence is unnerving.
What, exactly, are the advisors showing the politician? What is the politician's plan?
Stay with me, sir. It's almost recess.

A joke about a childish politicians with short attention spans. The two advisors are explaining something very important (it looks like a pandemic spreading), and apparently the politician is inattentive, simply hoping to go outside to play like a child. It's funny in part because it plays on the idea that politicians are not actually smart and don't actually care about people.
