A tweet that did not age well...

[DOTR]

Your wife a medical professional. And she did *nothing*. Sat on her thumbs.

Nope, they were treating patients like they do every day. But it is harder to do when not given all the information.

Oh you mean you wanted the government to do something...South Korea style? Libertarianism is a funny thing when you get scared.

Well, yes South Korea style...which oddly enough is waht Trump is doing now. Companies cannot help if they do not know there is a problem. Just think if 3m and started making extra mask 2 months ago or if GM had been able to help make ventilators 2 months ago, how much those things could have helped
But instead we as a country was kept in the dark so the market would not drop

So it was business as usual for your wife leading up to the outbreak?

Really? We have more people tested than S. Korea and they had over a 8 week head start on us. Our death rate is far less than italy's so yeah, i think it is under control.

WHO: US could be the next epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic

WHO: US could be the next epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic

WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told reporters Tuesday the U.S. has the potential to be the next epicenter amid a large acceleration of cases in the nation.

"A World Health Organization (WHO) official says the United States has the potential to become the new epicenter of the coronavirus crisis as a large acceleration of infections is occurring in the nation.

“We are now seeing a very large acceleration in cases in the U.S. So, it does have that potential,” WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told reporters Tuesday when asked whether the U.S. could become the new epicenter, according to Reuters.

Over the past 24 hours, 85 percent of new cases were from Europe and the U.S., Harris said. Of those, 40 percent were in the U.S."

We have not tested more than South Korea...per capita

"At about 300,000 tests in each country, that means South Korea has tested 1-in-170 people; the United States: 1-in-1,090. That's more than six times less, per capita, than South Korea."

FACT CHECK: U.S. Testing Still Isn't Close To What South Korea Has Done

President Trump and other U.S. officials touted Tuesday that the United States had surpassed South Korea in total coronavirus tests. But South Korea is far outpacing the U.S. per capita.

Was there a point there or is your TDS flaring up again?

It would appear your hat is on a little too tight there captain. The reason this is happening..........

Scramble for medical equipment descends into chaos as U.S. states and hospitals compete for rare supplies

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/03/24/scramble-medical-equipment-descends-into-chaos-us-states-hospitals-compete-rare-supplies/

"A mad scramble for masks, gowns and ventilators is pitting states against each other and driving up prices. Some hard-hit parts of the country are receiving fresh supplies of N95 masks, but others are still out of stock. Hospitals are requesting donations of masks and gloves from construction companies, nail salons and tattoo parlors, and considering using ventilators designed for large animals because they cannot find the kind made for people.
The market for medical supplies has descended into chaos, according to state officials and health-care leaders. They are begging the federal government to use a wartime law to bring order and ensure the United States has the gear it needs to battle the coronavirus. So far, the Trump administration has declined."

..........................is because a certain orange nitwit took a "what, me worry" approach.

At the time, everyone in the world who did not have his orange head up his ass knew what was coming. It was never under control. It couldn't be seeing as Don was playing golf when he should have been making sure we had enough test kits, PPE, and hospital beds for the inevitable wave of cases.

You've just listed 3 entities who are not responsible for the nation's response to COVID-19. But Don is, and he blew it. Deal with it.

GG started this thread as an "Orange Man Bad" ..Let's be real about things, people.

Perhaps it was bait to see how many of you Trump worshipers would rush to his defense.

Congrats on catching the worm

Gator says..."Hey look at me; I'm a better Orange Man Bad troll than Mac1958"
You smartest guys in the room from the TDS Mafia are hilarious...always "casting the bait".

Funnier still, you nutters keep biting for us.

As I said, South Korea manufactures the test in their country. We do not.

We are now, why were we not 2 months ago?

Yep, that is what happens when you kept in the dark. Just imagine had they been warned how well they could have prepared. But our government choose to keep us all in the dark.
