The disbanding of the pandemic unit was really dumb....If Trump would have listened to medical staff and expert doctors things would be better...to characterize the virus as a common cold and telling the American people we have this under control was just plain stupid....

Trying to blame any of this on him is just as stupid

China withheld the truth for a month, this is probably not a pandemic if they were honest

He initiated a travel ban with China on January 31, despite political opposition, and that's probably the single biggest reason we're NOT an Italy right now?

Did he cut funding to all the similar organizations throughout the world? Why didn't anyone else stop this? Why was Trump the first leader to take drastic action like the travel ban?

Did he cut funding to the WHO? Were they MIA?

I think you're a great American my friend, nothing but respect for you, let's not make this about politics

Peace

I think we can take these aggressive methods to try an protect certain demographics, short term.

Anything long-term could destroy the fabric of society, we prosper and live together, and a long term shut-down puts a serious stress on society

I believe we conquer this and move on, so I'm not concerned about anyone's worst case scenario

This conveniently leaves out that he stated "there are 10 cases soon to be 0"(along with other numerous things said to not only minimize but make this out as nothing but a temporary annoyance) one can argue all day about the blame he deserves but to say he was some sort of visionary on this simply isn't true.

Why are you embarrassed to say why you created a ghost username?

and neither did he create this pandemic, and not one political leader from the other side of the aisle voice any concerns or offer any solutions

the fact that he initiated a travel ban and democrats opposed it means he was way ahead of them on this curve

just stop


he took action, democrats opposed him, the rest of the world lagged, those are simple facts, your spin and strawman arguments can't change that

You are simply leaving things out that don't fit ur visionary narrative. But with that said, have a good day.

Trump knew in November, what was going on in China. He thought it was like the FLU. He was wrong.

The problem is, Trump continues to try to sway the public that he knew long ago what this was and went to extraordinary measures to stop it...the truth by what he stated numerous times and the actions he took after the China ban(which one could also argue the true motivation, but this action did work out in his favor) that he was as surprised about what this actually was, along with the rest of the world leaders. He simply wasn't a visionary. And that's okay, but he should drop the narrative.

If you want a balance it took the democrats 45 minutes into their debate about 3 weeks ago to even mention the coronavirus. So if anyone tells you they took this all that serious is lying and giving u revisionist history.

I don't give a fuck about other world leaders, BUT OURS SUCKS.

Just ignore him. You could start a thread of why the Chicago Bulls suck and he would come in and ask why you aren't complaining about how the New York Knicks suck...he is simply a troll. Ask any 7-11 clerk within a 50 mile radius of him.

South Korea and the US both got their first cases of Coronavirus the same day. South Korea has performed 5200 tests per million people. The US has tested 74 per million. Their leaders took it seriously and immediately started getting tests and testing the fuk outta people. Our leaders mocked it and aid we had it under control and that it would just magically disappear. We simply were unprepared for this in comparison to most other countries.

CDC estimates that
influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010

Can't believe how many people are not taking this seriously. It just baffles my mind.
