China could’ve reduced spread by 95% with early interventions.

This is just another pathetic attempt to deflect blame from Trump, as his cult following loves to do.

Trump. Fucked. Up. Just admit it. He's not the only one who fucked up, but he most certainly fucked this up, terribly.

Not really. Tests aren’t gonna do much since you’re always gonna be a week behind containing this. Whats helping SK is the fact they wear masks on the regular and just upped that even more to where businesses wouldn’t serve you without one. But even they are seeing a big second spike now.

The travel ban did buy us a month, as evidence by the fact the EU is getting hammered right now, and we’re basically a month behind where they are gonna be. Once this broke containment in the EU it meant that we were next. The EU just did their travel ban this week which is a month too late. The only goal now is buying time for our hospitals to prep, and hopefully slow the spread. The one area you could say he fucked up (it’s more on hospitals and states since the fed can’t do much other than give money away) is that our hospitals weren’t prepared for this earlier. My hospital (place of work) is almost out of masks. I’m ready to infect myself, take off two weeks, just so I can be ready to go when this really starts to hit, rather then get it during the big rush

He also fired the pandemic response team and on numerous occasions minimized the seriousness of this pandemic.

How exactly are those not fuck-ups on his part?

Don’t know the validity to that. Doesn’t matter anyway because all world governments are not prepped for this. They aren’t prepped for any type of disaster as they should be. Why? Because that’s what happens with all big overinflated systems. They’re short sighted, and consumed with self preservation. And when a disaster does come, they’re far too slow moving, weighed down by red tape, and adaptation comes too little too late. It’s what happened in Katrina. NO knew their levies couldn’t take a even a moderate storm, and they threw millions of dollars at them since the 60’s and still they never got fixed and upgraded. We’re not prepped for a pandemic, we’re not prepped for a volcano, we’re not prepped for a solar flare, we’re not prepped for an incoming asteroid. It’s been that way for all presidencies in modernity. Now it’s up to local authorities and states out there on the front lines, able to adapt to situations in real time, to correctly asses the situation and get supplies to where they are most needed. It’s up to the fed to back them up financially on that, because that’s simply the best they can do.

China could’ve contained this or even slowed it. They were too consumed with not looking bad (self-preservation). Until it was too late for them and they had to take drastic measures. The EU didn’t ban travel when they should have, they were too consumed with not looking bad or “racist” (self-preservation), until it was too late and now they’re taking drastic measures. At least we bought a month and can watch the EU try to tackle this and see what works and what doesn’t. It’s crazy to me that we have now equated quarantines with racism in the age of air travel. Yea quarantines suck for the people in them, but you can help them from the outside. What sucks a lot more is pandemics shutting down the world economy. Now it’s every country for itself, 100,000s probably dead, trillions of dollars thrown at this by governments just to attempt to slow it down, and god only knows what the world is going to look like after all of this.

Did Trump Administration Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?



Snopes article on firing the pandemic response team. Youtube video of him minimizing the seriousness.

Maybe, just maybe, it would have helped if he had professionals in place for this thing and didn't spread misinformation about the seriousness of this virus.

What misinformation? Up until mid-February it was speculated that this was spread through feces. Kind of hard to get correct info out of the the PRC. Who had they told us what was really going on, we would’ve more prepared. Look you’re riding a very thin line with this. You don’t want panic too early, and you don’t want to be too lax too late. I don’t think trump is a genius but the most important thing to do, he did. That was the travel ban to China. If Europe had done the same we’d be in way better shape

February 26: "And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done." - Donald Trump

March 6: “Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is." - Donald Trump

If that isn't misinformation, then I'd like to know what exactly your definition of misinformation is.

 

[The Original Tree]

They fucked the planet, turned around and blamed us, threatened to withhold supplies and in general have shown exactly what they are in many ways, at least in terms of their government.

Not too many warm fuzzies for Xi and company right now....

Of course not. Being racist is always easier than taking action.


It's the conservative way.

MEANWHILE, Trump is going along with a TRILLION dollars in bailouts. We are all socialists now.

Don't worry, you can go back to hating Government next year.

You already lost Satan. We already have a couple of vaccines. After 3 months only 200 people in neglected nursing homes or who already had health issues died, and now we find out Anti-Malaria medications kill Corona.

But best part yet?

No one is talking about or gives a damn about The Grumpy Ole Muppet Men, Biden and Sanders.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm pointing the finger where it belongs. The buck stops with the people where it originated, and where they attempted to cover it up !

Oh. So you CAN'T justify Trump's stupid comments and lack of action.

Didn't think so. Thanks for playing.

I'm not trying to justify anything he has said, his comments much of the time are stupid. He was caught in a situation early on where there was not a clear path to get on.
If he overreacted early on, the country would have been harmed in a huge way, economically, panic, a major societal meltdown. If he underreacted, more people would end up with the virus. It's been a delicate balancing act, and instead of you leftist assholes attacking him, you should be looking for ways to help unite us.

He implied that it's ok to go to work when you're sick. Over-reacting, under-reacting. That's just fucking stupid.

"You know, we're hoping this thing goes away. We hope it won't be so bad. Do us all a favor and just take extra precautions. Cover your cough and don't go to work when you're sick. We don't know how bad this thing can get." How hard would that have been?!

Instead, this jackass tells us that it's ok to go to work when you're sick and LIES to us saying that it's completely under control. He. Fucked. Up. And you know it.

He did not imply, or tell people IT'S OK to go to work if they have the virus.

Just like the MSM, you guys are twisting what he said:

“We have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who get better just by sitting around, even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better,” Trump added.

I didn't twist it. I said he implied it because he did. He stated that sick people can get better after going to work, implying that one does not need to stay home from work when sick.

Did he at any point say that a sick person should stay home? No. It would have been so fucking easy to make that simple statement, and your orange deity managed to fuck that up. How fucking stupid is that?

All this goes hand-in-hand with the message I've been telling you all along - he minimized the effects of this thing, causing who knows how many more people to get sick, while lying to us about the seriousness of this virus and sitting on his ass instead of taking action. Your piece of shit idol fucked us all over and you refuse to admit it because you're a Trump-fondling retard who is willing to blame anyone and everyone except for the guy in charge.

He was "implying" that people HAVE went to work, he hasn't implied it's ok to. He was OBVIOUSLY making the point that a lot of people that get the virus are not going to end up dying or even ending up in a hospital.

Unfortunately, we have an extremely biased media that is quick to suck idiots like you into believing Trump is to blame for all of this, and they are 100% motivated to attack and twist everything he says or does.

Now having said that, Trump is a bull in a china closet and one minute he says one thing, and the next breath later he contradicts what he's just said.

BUT HE DIDN'T SAY IT'S OK TO GO TO WORK IF YOU HAVE THE VIRUS !! HERE'S A DICKHEAD HERE THAT CLAIMS HE DID !



Matt Rogers @Politidope




Here is the President of the United States telling the country it's okay to go to work with Coronavirus.

His message should have been simple - don't go to work if you're sick. It's that fucking simple. Stick with what the CDC and WHO are saying. You know, actual professionals who actually know what they're talking about.

Did he at any point say that people should take serious precautions when dealing with this potential pandemic? No. He fucking minimized the seriousness of this every chance he got because he wasn't taking this seriously. And where did that get us?

It got MORE people infected, MORE people believing that it's just a made-up story, and now we have much of the country on lock-down and we're crashing the economy.

Good job, Mr. President. That's a perfect way to handle this situation. And people like you, who have your head up Trump's ass, refuse to find any fault whatsoever in his misleading the public.

Early And Combined Interventions Crucial In Tackling Covid-19 Spread In China | University of Southampton

This study shows very damning evidence for China. Had China, instead of covering up, used basic interventions one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent. But because the Chinese government is close to the most evil regime on the planet today...the rest of the world is wrestling with a pandemic. All because Xi didn’t want to loose face. But you won’t hear this from our media. If it doesn’t make trump look bad, the story isn’t going to run. Yea those travel restrictions from China may have bought us a month, but they’re racist. Now, the EU is being racist, just a month too late.

The article is a statistical failure.
With a 14 day incubation period
I doubt that any of it could have been
Prevented.

They’ve known about it since November. Knew what they were dealing with at least by early January, most likely sooner. And didn’t inform the rest of the world until Mid-February about its transmission. And in all that time, they allowed travel everywhere. Remember those doctors that risked their lives to defy their government and warn the rest of the world? Who knows how long it would’ve been until we finally found out what was going on if it wasn’t for those doctors. The rest of the world was speculating that it was by feces, because toilets are an option in mainland China.

Why is the left rushing to defend China? It’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever seen in my life. China...where there’s concentration camps full of 2 million Muslims, and have another couple million political dissidents in gulags. But I guess the left needs a picture of a crying kid behind a fence before they actually give a damn. Now they’re too busy equating quarantines with racism. Virtually all influenza strains come from China. That’s where our doctors go when they’re making the new flu vaccine. They go to China, pick the 3 that they think are going to be the major ones in America. Whatever is going on China, usually makes its way here. That’s why flu vaccines aren’t 100%, either they don’t pick every strain correctly, or a 4th emerges. Why do these diseases emerge in China? Because they have millions of people stacked on top of millions of animals, domestic and exotic, they eat pigeons and rats on the regular or whatever they can get their hands on, they don’t care about sanitation or proper food prep, they have no problem putting their hands in animal shit, pop a squat in the middle of the street if you need to shit, don’t even know what tissues are you just blow snot rockets wherever your standing. It’s the perfect environment for diseases to jump from animals to humans. Doctors and epidemiologist have been screaming about the wet markets in China for decades now, and now they’re ripping their hair out.

The EU fucked up almost as bad as china waiting a month too late to restrict travel. The evidence is in the fact they’ve been getting rocked for the past 3 weeks, and were just starting to see it here. And because they didn’t restrict, they became the new pathway for this to come to America. China royally fucked up, and the EU fucked up. Now the modern world gets to reap those consequences, and see what a real pandemic looks like. News flash: they aren’t good. Not good at all. I’m an RN, I got sent home because of allergies. I’m hearing from co-workers, it’s getting really bad. We’re over maxed at capacity, already putting our names on our masks to re-use them. We’re only scratching the surface on how bad this can get. You can’t test you’re way out of this shit. The only right thing to do was restrict travel to China...it’s called a fucking quarantine, and they stop pandemics.

 

[sakinago]

Not really. Tests aren’t gonna do much since you’re always gonna be a week behind containing this. Whats helping SK is the fact they wear masks on the regular and just upped that even more to where businesses wouldn’t serve you without one. But even they are seeing a big second spike now.

The travel ban did buy us a month, as evidence by the fact the EU is getting hammered right now, and we’re basically a month behind where they are gonna be. Once this broke containment in the EU it meant that we were next. The EU just did their travel ban this week which is a month too late. The only goal now is buying time for our hospitals to prep, and hopefully slow the spread. The one area you could say he fucked up (it’s more on hospitals and states since the fed can’t do much other than give money away) is that our hospitals weren’t prepared for this earlier. My hospital (place of work) is almost out of masks. I’m ready to infect myself, take off two weeks, just so I can be ready to go when this really starts to hit, rather then get it during the big rush

He also fired the pandemic response team and on numerous occasions minimized the seriousness of this pandemic.

How exactly are those not fuck-ups on his part?

Don’t know the validity to that. Doesn’t matter anyway because all world governments are not prepped for this. They aren’t prepped for any type of disaster as they should be. Why? Because that’s what happens with all big overinflated systems. They’re short sighted, and consumed with self preservation. And when a disaster does come, they’re far too slow moving, weighed down by red tape, and adaptation comes too little too late. It’s what happened in Katrina. NO knew their levies couldn’t take a even a moderate storm, and they threw millions of dollars at them since the 60’s and still they never got fixed and upgraded. We’re not prepped for a pandemic, we’re not prepped for a volcano, we’re not prepped for a solar flare, we’re not prepped for an incoming asteroid. It’s been that way for all presidencies in modernity. Now it’s up to local authorities and states out there on the front lines, able to adapt to situations in real time, to correctly asses the situation and get supplies to where they are most needed. It’s up to the fed to back them up financially on that, because that’s simply the best they can do.

China could’ve contained this or even slowed it. They were too consumed with not looking bad (self-preservation). Until it was too late for them and they had to take drastic measures. The EU didn’t ban travel when they should have, they were too consumed with not looking bad or “racist” (self-preservation), until it was too late and now they’re taking drastic measures.

The first quote was in response to cases that came here from China. Problem is plenty of Chinese still could go to Europe...to these places called airports. Where 1000s of people pass through in close quarters a day. Where you stand ass to pubes in lines, eat in a food court, and then get onto a flying tube with recycled ventilation. You restrict travel to China, you don’t have that problem. Once it broke containment into Europe. It was going to come here. You can contain 30 or so cases of this to an area. You can’t contain 100 or more going god only knows where, that picked up the infection in an Amsterdam airport from someone who was getting a connecting flight to the UK.

Our hospital has had tests for a week and a half now. But testing isn’t gonna do shit, they were never gonna do shit. The vast majority of people don’t voluntarily get tested until they are experiencing symptoms. At that point they’ve been walking around for a week infecting others. I don’t know what y’all aren’t understanding about this. Once it broke containment in the EU, the rest of the world was fucked.

Great posting!

I'm no lefty trust me. Not sure why the left wants to defend China. Probably just as simple as a ....my enemy's enemy....thing.

Yes China should be effing attacked for what they did. It's was heinously irresponsible. I'm not a bio scientist....but I do a lot with stats. Once I heard about the 14 day incubation....I was mortified. I looked at any possible scenario I could think of to say It could be contained but no matter which set of numbers I worked with the inc period always drove the exponent of increase out of sight. I'm afraid it was already too late with the first person.

And when a disaster does come, they’re far too slow moving, weighed down by red tape, and adaptation comes too little too late. It’s what happened in Katrina. NO knew their levies couldn’t take a even a moderate storm, and they threw millions of dollars at them since the 60’s and still they never got fixed and upgraded. We’re not prepped for a pandemic, we’re not prepped for a volcano, we’re not prepped for a solar flare, we’re not prepped for an incoming asteroid. It’s been that way for all presidencies in modernity. Now it’s up to local authorities and states out there on the front lines, able to adapt to situations in real time, to correctly asses the situation and get supplies to where they are most needed. It’s up to the fed to back them up financially on that, because that’s simply the best they can do.

China could’ve contained this or even slowed it. They were too consumed with not looking bad (self-preservation). Until it was too late for them and they had to take drastic measures. The EU didn’t ban travel when they should have, they were too consumed with not looking bad or “racist” (self-preservation), until it was too late and now they’re taking drastic measures. At least we bought a month and can watch the EU try to tackle this and see what works and what doesn’t. It’s crazy to me that we have now equated quarantines with racism in the age of air travel. Yea quarantines suck for the people in them, but you can help them from the outside. What sucks a lot more is pandemics shutting down the world economy. Now it’s every country for itself, 100,000s probably dead, trillions of dollars thrown at this by governments just to attempt to slow it down, and god only knows what the world is going to look like after all of this.

Did Trump Administration Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?



Snopes article on firing the pandemic response team. Youtube video of him minimizing the seriousness.

Maybe, just maybe, it would have helped if he had professionals in place for this thing and didn't spread misinformation about the seriousness of this virus.

What misinformation? Up until mid-February it was speculated that this was spread through feces. Kind of hard to get correct info out of the the PRC. Who had they told us what was really going on, we would’ve more prepared. Look you’re riding a very thin line with this. You don’t want panic too early, and you don’t want to be too lax too late. I don’t think trump is a genius but the most important thing to do, he did. That was the travel ban to China. If Europe had done the same we’d be in way better shape

What misinformation? Here, let me show you just a few examples:

February 26: "And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done." - Donald Trump

March 6: “Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is." - Donald Trump

If that isn't misinformation, then I'd like to know what exactly your definition of misinformation is.

The first quote was in response to cases that came here from China. Problem is plenty of Chinese still could go to Europe...to these places called airports. Where 1000s of people pass through in close quarters a day. Where you stand ass to pubes in lines, eat in a food court, and then get onto a flying tube with recycled ventilation. You restrict travel to China, you don’t have that problem. Once it broke containment into Europe. It was going to come here. You can contain 30 or so cases of this to an area. You can’t contain 100 or more going god only knows where, that picked up the infection in an Amsterdam airport from someone who was getting a connecting flight to the UK.

Our hospital has had tests for a week and a half now. But testing isn’t gonna do shit, they were never gonna do shit. The vast majority of people don’t voluntarily get tested until they are experiencing symptoms. At that point they’ve been walking around for a week infecting others. I don’t know what y’all aren’t understanding about this. Once it broke containment in the EU, the rest of the world was fucked.

You asked about misinformation. I provided you with examples of misinformation.

Would you or would you not agree that these are examples of misinformation by Trump?

 

[justoffal]

This is just another pathetic attempt to deflect blame from Trump, as his cult following loves to do.

Trump. Fucked. Up. Just admit it. He's not the only one who fucked up, but he most certainly fucked this up, terribly.

Not really. Tests aren’t gonna do much since you’re always gonna be a week behind containing this. Whats helping SK is the fact they wear masks on the regular and just upped that even more to where businesses wouldn’t serve you without one. But even they are seeing a big second spike now.

The travel ban did buy us a month, as evidence by the fact the EU is getting hammered right now, and we’re basically a month behind where they are gonna be. Once this broke containment in the EU it meant that we were next. The EU just did their travel ban this week which is a month too late. The only goal now is buying time for our hospitals to prep, and hopefully slow the spread. The one area you could say he fucked up (it’s more on hospitals and states since the fed can’t do much other than give money away) is that our hospitals weren’t prepared for this earlier. My hospital (place of work) is almost out of masks. I’m ready to infect myself, take off two weeks, just so I can be ready to go when this really starts to hit, rather then get it during the big rush

He also fired the pandemic response team and on numerous occasions minimized the seriousness of this pandemic.

How exactly are those not fuck-ups on his part?

Don’t know the validity to that. Doesn’t matter anyway because all world governments are not prepped for this. They aren’t prepped for any type of disaster as they should be. Why?

Early And Combined Interventions Crucial In Tackling Covid-19 Spread In China | University of Southampton

This study shows very damning evidence for China. Had China, instead of covering up, used basic interventions one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent. But because the Chinese government is close to the most evil regime on the planet today...the rest of the world is wrestling with a pandemic. All because Xi didn’t want to loose face. But you won’t hear this from our media. If it doesn’t make trump look bad, the story isn’t going to run. Yea those travel restrictions from China may have bought us a month, but they’re racist. Now, the EU is being racist, just a month too late.

The article is a statistical failure.
With a 14 day incubation period
I doubt that any of it could have been
Prevented.

They’ve known about it since November. Knew what they were dealing with at least by early January, most likely sooner. And didn’t inform the rest of the world until Mid-February about its transmission. And in all that time, they allowed travel everywhere. Remember those doctors that risked their lives to defy their government and warn the rest of the world? Who knows how long it would’ve been until we finally found out what was going on if it wasn’t for those doctors. The rest of the world was speculating that it was by feces, because toilets are an option in mainland China.

Why is the left rushing to defend China? It’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever seen in my life. China...where there’s concentration camps full of 2 million Muslims, and have another couple million political dissidents in gulags. But I guess the left needs a picture of a crying kid behind a fence before they actually give a damn. Now they’re too busy equating quarantines with racism. Virtually all influenza strains come from China. That’s where our doctors go when they’re making the new flu vaccine. They go to China, pick the 3 that they think are going to be the major ones in America. Whatever is going on China, usually makes its way here. That’s why flu vaccines aren’t 100%, either they don’t pick every strain correctly, or a 4th emerges. Why do these diseases emerge in China? Because they have millions of people stacked on top of millions of animals, domestic and exotic, they eat pigeons and rats on the regular or whatever they can get their hands on, they don’t care about sanitation or proper food prep, they have no problem putting their hands in animal shit, pop a squat in the middle of the street if you need to shit, don’t even know what tissues are you just blow snot rockets wherever your standing. It’s the perfect environment for diseases to jump from animals to humans. Doctors and epidemiologist have been screaming about the wet markets in China for decades now, and now they’re ripping their hair out.

The EU fucked up almost as bad as china waiting a month too late to restrict travel. The evidence is in the fact they’ve been getting rocked for the past 3 weeks, and were just starting to see it here. And because they didn’t restrict, they became the new pathway for this to come to America. China royally fucked up, and the EU fucked up. Now the modern world gets to reap those consequences, and see what a real pandemic looks like. News flash: they aren’t good. Not good at all. I’m an RN, I got sent home because of allergies. I’m hearing from co-workers, it’s getting really bad. We’re over maxed at capacity, already putting our names on our masks to re-use them. We’re only scratching the surface on how bad this can get. You can’t test you’re way out of this shit. The only right thing to do was restrict travel to China...it’s called a fucking quarantine, and they stop pandemics.

Great posting!

I'm no lefty trust me. Not sure why the left wants to defend China. Probably just as simple as a ....my enemy's enemy....thing.

Yes China should be effing attacked for what they did. It's was heinously irresponsible. I'm not a bio scientist....but I do a lot with stats. Once I heard about the 14 day incubation....I was mortified. I looked at any possible scenario I could think of to say It could be contained but no matter which set of numbers I worked with the inc period always drove the exponent of increase out of sight. I'm afraid it was already too late with the first person.

Jo

Oh I saw that too and immediately thought it was an evil genius form of transmission. Nope, no evil geniuses needed, just Mother Nature, same **** who brought us AIDS, Ebola, Toxoplasmosis, Australian trap door spiders, and fucking flying snakes.

Im in a group chat with other co-workers...there’s still RN’s who think this is going to pass if we just social distance. NO-ONE has immunity to this. You could shut down everything for two weeks and all it’s going to do is buy you two weeks and re-emerge.

[DigitalDrifter]

I'm not trying to justify anything he has said, his comments much of the time are stupid. He was caught in a situation early on where there was not a clear path to get on.
If he overreacted early on, the country would have been harmed in a huge way, economically, panic, a major societal meltdown. If he underreacted, more people would end up with the virus. It's been a delicate balancing act, and instead of you leftist assholes attacking him, you should be looking for ways to help unite us.

He implied that it's ok to go to work when you're sick. Over-reacting, under-reacting. That's just fucking stupid.

"You know, we're hoping this thing goes away. We hope it won't be so bad. Do us all a favor and just take extra precautions. Cover your cough and don't go to work when you're sick. We don't know how bad this thing can get." How hard would that have been?!

Instead, this jackass tells us that it's ok to go to work when you're sick and LIES to us saying that it's completely under control. He. Fucked. Up. And you know it.

He did not imply, or tell people IT'S OK to go to work if they have the virus.

Just like the MSM, you guys are twisting what he said:

“We have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who get better just by sitting around, even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better,” Trump added.

I didn't twist it. I said he implied it because he did. He stated that sick people can get better after going to work, implying that one does not need to stay home from work when sick.

Did he at any point say that a sick person should stay home? No. It would have been so fucking easy to make that simple statement, and your orange deity managed to fuck that up. How fucking stupid is that?

All this goes hand-in-hand with the message I've been telling you all along - he minimized the effects of this thing, causing who knows how many more people to get sick, while lying to us about the seriousness of this virus and sitting on his ass instead of taking action. Your piece of shit idol fucked us all over and you refuse to admit it because you're a Trump-fondling retard who is willing to blame anyone and everyone except for the guy in charge.

He was "implying" that people HAVE went to work, he hasn't implied it's ok to. He was OBVIOUSLY making the point that a lot of people that get the virus are not going to end up dying or even ending up in a hospital.

Unfortunately, we have an extremely biased media that is quick to suck idiots like you into believing Trump is to blame for all of this, and they are 100% motivated to attack and twist everything he says or does.

Now having said that, Trump is a bull in a china closet and one minute he says one thing, and the next breath later he contradicts what he's just said.

BUT HE DIDN'T SAY IT'S OK TO GO TO WORK IF YOU HAVE THE VIRUS !! HERE'S A DICKHEAD HERE THAT CLAIMS HE DID !

His message should have been simple - don't go to work if you're sick. It's that fucking simple. Stick with what the CDC and WHO are saying. You know, actual professionals who actually know what they're talking about.

Did he at any point say that people should take serious precautions when dealing with this potential pandemic? No. He fucking minimized the seriousness of this every chance he got because he wasn't taking this seriously. And where did that get us?

It got MORE people infected, MORE people believing that it's just a made-up story, and now we have much of the country on lock-down and we're crashing the economy.

Good job, Mr. President. That's a perfect way to handle this situation. And people like you, who have your head up Trump's ass, refuse to find any fault whatsoever in his misleading the public.

He could have made his comments much clearer, but since he's such a wordsmith, we have to decipher some of his comments for ourselves.

China could’ve contained this or even slowed it. They were too consumed with not looking bad (self-preservation). Until it was too late for them and they had to take drastic measures. The EU didn’t ban travel when they should have, they were too consumed with not looking bad or “racist” (self-preservation), until it was too late and now they’re taking drastic measures. At least we bought a month and can watch the EU try to tackle this and see what works and what doesn’t. It’s crazy to me that we have now equated quarantines with racism in the age of air travel. Yea quarantines suck for the people in them, but you can help them from the outside. What sucks a lot more is pandemics shutting down the world economy. Now it’s every country for itself, 100,000s probably dead, trillions of dollars thrown at this by governments just to attempt to slow it down, and god only knows what the world is going to look like after all of this.

Did Trump Administration Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?



Snopes article on firing the pandemic response team. Youtube video of him minimizing the seriousness.

Maybe, just maybe, it would have helped if he had professionals in place for this thing and didn't spread misinformation about the seriousness of this virus.

You're not getting this are you?
Everyone will be exposed sooner or later.
Vaccine is the only real answer.
You cannot stop this.

The American left wants us all to believe that Trump's initial lack of response is the reason we're all going to die.

Nobody knows what's going to happen.

But one thing should be clear - his initial lack of response sure as hell didn't help.

He could have made his comments much clearer, but since he's such a wordsmith, we have to decipher some of his comments for ourselves.
HOWEVER, he NEVER said if you have the virus, it's ok to go to work.

It really depends on where you work.

But if you dont have symptoms it is definitely OK to work.
