Trump should stop tweeting for a second and supervise coronavirus testing kit readiness

[Dana7360]

@OP:
Just curious why you made the comment. Did you expect the POTUS to go work in a Coronavirus test kit manufacturing facility? Considering that Trump’s efforts have been overtly lauded by many in the medical community for their proactive effectiveness, don’t you think some other countries should throw their effort behind this? It is not a uniquely American problem. Israel seems to be making good headway.
Maybe Trump has to tweet because the media isn’t doing its job and he feels it is more effective for him to get the message to those who can help fight this and keep disinformers on their toes. Seems like he is doing a fine job by delegating much of the response to Pence.

He had warning months ago.

He should have started back then to get everything ready.

He didn't. All he did was lie through his teeth about the whole thing.

He could have started taking steps to make sure there's multiple sources of test kits. He should have made sure there was enough beds in hospitals. He should have made sure that the rules for those who get the tests shouldn't have been only those who traveled abroad. He should have made sure there was clarity in what the government was telling the people.

He should have been a real leader. He should have been honest. He should have put the nation and our people before himself.

So far at almost every step of this crisis, trump and his incompetent government has failed miserably.

Testing is necessary in order for people to recover.

What prevents recovery in the absence of a testing kit? Give us your expert medical opinion, Doc.

testing kits need to be ready and accessible for everyone. Testing is necessary in order for people to recover.
Yet many people cannot get tested at this time.

IF they have more kits, the numbers of cases will go up, and Trump admitted he likes the number where it is. Jus saying. But I think the admin is now forced into testing. And I think they've got a least 40K kits this am and will have a million by Fri latest.

We were told this time last week that there would be 1 million tests available last Friday.

In reality the government only had 75 thousand test kits and knew it.

I don't believe there will be 1 million test kits by this Friday.

Do you?

The President took action 1 MONTH after the Chinese govt reported the illness to the WHO....as opposed to Barak Obama, who waited until thousands were infected and approx. 1,000 Americans were dead from H1N1. These undisputed FACTS make your attempt to attack the current President look petty and ignorant.

Why do we have a CDC?

Months ago, nobody really knew the scale at which this was going to spread around the world.

Months ago, when signs started showing it getting out of hand in China he halted travel from there and got criticized for it by the media and opposition party.

Months ago, simply wanting more test kits and hospital beds wasn't going to make them magically appear because you want them. There are only so many that can be manufactured within a given period of time and unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers and suppliers get their supplies from..... wait for it..... CHINA!

As for honesty, he is being honest about it, in my opinion. This is not the huge ordeal the media is making this out to be. Yes, there are vulnerable populations of people such as elderly and people with compromised immune systems, just like they are vulnerable to the flu or any other illness, and precautions should be taken to prevent the spread to those groups as much as possible. However, the hysteria being whipped up by the media, politicians, and irrational, panicky people like you in the general public is largely overblown. You people act like the bubonic plague is sweeping across the world killing tens of millions of people. Spanish influenza killed 50 million 100 years ago. Some estimate that even higher. This isn't even a blip on the radar compared to that. Over 95% of people who catch this will experience cold symptoms at best. Some may exhibit very minor symptoms or none at all.

Lighten up, Francis.

"Trump should stop tweeting for a second and supervise coronavirus testing kit readiness."
He should stop tweeting, commenting on Covid19, and stay out of the way. This is no time for the false leadership from the anti-science faction of government.

Your decision here to politicize our nation's fight against this disease, certainly showed all undecided voters that you are a bad teammate ---and you are a bad teammate, because the Dem Party is a bad team!

Not about teams. it is about not trusting the utterances of one that has proven himself untrustworthy, lacking self discipline and having questionable judgement on matters involving science. He did this to himself.

So, Trump can't be trusted............but you whine and cry he isn't more involved.

Makes sense............to window licking morons.

Have you all forgotten how China was not forthcoming in releasing the details of this virus?
How can test-kits be manufactured when we didn't even know what we were dealing with?
But, go ahead and blame it on Trump, we all know that it isn't political, right????

Do you?

Honestly I don't know, but the Trump admin has lied itself into being not a credible source of info. Unfortunately, Fauchi who is a straight shooter is put in the position of not being able to tell the straight truth because he cannot afford to contradict Trump.

If we don't have enough kits, and the ability to process them in less than 4 days, this is going to get way out of hand, imo. I was dismissive of the lethality because, in part, I've watched family members die needlessly extended painful deaths in nursing homes. If we can't even treat healthcare professionals and cops and ambulance drivers …. then the lack of enough respirators may be the least of concerns. Italy shut down its financial center.

can't make this stuff up Taz. We should ask him if the test kit is the antivirus fix, why do we have to wait twelve months for the vaccination to treat it?

Been here since mid November. You never heard that from me. Always knew I would have a better opinion of him on most issues if he just kept his mouth shut. It is better to let people think you a fool, than to open you mouth and remove all doubt.

Trump was on the corona virus long before the media was ever on it, the media was too busy trying to whip up
public frenzy in the impeachment proceedings. You all want to place blame, lay it on the feet of China. They were
the ones not being forthcoming with the virus.

How does a testing kit make people recover?

the main save was the travel restrictions on Jan 31.

Other countries got their act together and had far more accessibility to testing than our country.

Stupid socialized medicine.

another stupid fk that thinks that test kits is a cure kit. too fking funny. ever hear of thing called a doctor? BTW, there currently is no cure vaccine. bet you didn't know that did you? There is one that is in testing in the US, but you wouldn't know that cause your news comes from your asshole, and you farted.

 

[Oldstyle]

People die from flu viruses every year. Last year the CDC estimated between 12,000 and 30,000 died from influenza. This is media driven hysteria, folks.
