How can you POSSIBLY mistake a great President for Dr. Feel Good Bill Clinton?
Clinton was competent scum. Trump is incompetent scum. Right-wingers prefer the incompetent one that is costing American lives. That tells you about the lack of intelligence on the right these days.
Yea, Im no biotech genius like you clearly are, but I'm pretty sure it's this Chinese virus that's costing lives.
So what's the plan?
I know this is probably far, far, far beyond your abilities, but initial response is a key factor in the spread and ultimate mortality rate of the disease. We were fortunate to have weeks and weeks of lead time to prepare for the first wave here in the USA, but we were unfortunate enough to have a President who viewed it as a political optics issue rather than the most dangerous global pandemic in a century. So do we have enough (fill in the blank). The answer is no. We have medical staff fashioning masks out of cloth in desperate hope they won’t contract the disease from the sick patients we are treating. We have public health workers doing contact tracing (not nearly enough because we don’t employ enough) without proper medical gear to protect themselves. We don’t have anywhere near enough medical equipment to deal with the coming onslaught. In the early weeks of the viral arrival in the US, Trump and Fox were in lockstep claiming it was no worse than the flu and the media was drumming up a hoax to hurt him politically. That’s when we could have made a major impact on the spread. There is no containing it now. How many cases do we have? Nobody f’n knows because we didn’t use the WHO test, and didn’t have one of our own. Weeks later, we still don’t have enough tests to even know who has it and who doesn’t. So how can you contain something when you don’t even know where it is? This is abject failure. Complete, total failure. End of story. And we Americans will pay with our wealth and our lives for it.
Yea, initial response.
Tell me Mr abilities,
How do you respond to something when you don’t even know what it is?
Your commie comrades in China LIED about it for 2 months.
Your beloved WHO got it ALL wrong from the jump. “No evidence of human to human transmission”. Ooooopsies!
Genius, it wasn’t until those cruise ships with infected people came to our shores that we had ANY idea really what this thing is or could be. People Are sick en masse on those nasty ships all the time as it is, this could have been a legionaries strain or a thousand other things.
Stunningly amazing that somehow YOU knew it was Coronavirus-19, aka The Chinese Flu, it’s symptoms, it’s effects and how to treat it when NO ONE else in the world did.
Now he and his admin is moving in rather stunning rapidity to engage the massive American private sector on a footing not seen since WWII.
Public/private partnership working together and we might just have a fighting chance here soon.
Bayer shipping 2-3 MILLION doses of chloroquine ASAP, you can get it with a simple Rx, immediately.. other drugs are seeing promise, Honeywell is making masks and will be churning them out by the millions in short order, one of the Pharmas has a 3 hour test kit they’ll be shipping, 1-2 million out by the end of next week I think it was. Laroche perhaps?
He acted far more quickly than basically ALL of Europe and of course was immediately vilified as a
RACISSS!!! By you dumb dummies on the left.
So, all that said, and with your keen eye and incredible foresight/insight, what else should Fauci and Birgs(sp) and Surgeon General and Carson and Seema and all those other medical hacks be doing better? I’d call them if I were you. Offer your services.
It’s the American way after all!
