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

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Please don't pretend you know what you're talking about. This is complete nonsense.

I would offer you the same advice.

 

[justoffal]

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 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.

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.

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

Stupid socialized medicine.

Yes and it made absolutely no difference in the speed of the contagion moron.
But always remember... Trump eats puppies!

I that why they have far more deaths than we do?

You can't reason with someone who's trying to make a lie a reality. Remember: Trump eats puppies!

[bendog]

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????

Clearly that hindered other nations

 

[justoffal]

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.

Those 12,000 to 30,000 deaths are unimportant because they can't be politicized. The few dozen corona virus deaths on the other hand are extremely important because they provide an opportunity to blame Trump for something.

I don't know if that's true or not, but regardless, so what? There is no special medicine for the Coronavirus. The one guy here in Vegas who contracted it was being given Ibuprofen to help keep his fever down. That's it. Nothing else. It's a cold. There is nothing you can do to make it go away any faster whether you know you have it or think you just have the common cold.

Because tracking the presence of the virus and who is exposed is important to preventing further spread.

 

[bendog]

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.

Well I certainly hope they don't get here too soon. Early detection can lead to a curing of the condition. Hopefully they're delayed for a couple months.

Jo

Trump has everything to lose if there are adequate numbers of kits. Clearly his concern is the best interest of americans. Keep em on the ships!

Well in that case hopefully they just send the kits back wherever they come.

Politics is far more important than flu deaths.

Judging from his tendency to screw up whatever he gets his hands on, I think that it is safer to let him continue on Twitter and let the adults handle it. This matter is too urgent to allow him to louse it up.

If President Trump was on site supervising such things, you morons would be screaming he is creating a distraction and just being in the way.

TRUMP EATS PUPPIES

JO

Trump best source of information.
On Saturday Jan. 11 — a month and a half before the first Covid-19 case not linked to travel was diagnosed in the United States — Chinese scientists posted the genome of the mysterious new virus, and within a week virologists in Berlin had produced the first diagnostic test for the disease.

Soon after, researchers in other nations rolled out their own tests, too, sometimes with different genetic targets. By the end of February, the World Health Organization had shipped tests to nearly 60 countries.

The United States was not among them.


Why the United States declined to use the WHO test, even temporarily as a bridge until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could produce its own test, remains a perplexing question and the key to the Trump administration’s failure to provide enough tests to identify the coronavirus infections before they could be passed on, according to POLITICO interviews with dozens of viral-disease experts, former officials and some officials within the administration’s health agencies

How testing failures allowed coronavirus to sweep the U.S.

 

[Oldstyle]

Of course it would be helpful if we had secure borders that we could prevent people from entering our country in the advent of an even more serious medical emergency...but nah, who needs THAT...right liberals?

Whatever in the world makes you think it came across the southern border, instead of flying in on TWA or some other airline? The idea is ludicrous.

Oh, I'm quite sure it came in numerous ways...my point was that if we ever DID want to prevent something from coming in to the country we could do all the "travel bans" in the world and it wouldn't do a thing if our borders are so porous that anyone who wants to come in can.
