Why is it the Republicans can't be civil and argue politics? Is it the lack of what? Besides knowledge...i think it is a question that needs to be asked . the private sector has been retooling researching and fast tracking medical supplies protective gear testing and treatments to fight this outbreak ! thanks to the POTUS actions in removing barriers and government regs to empower the private sector to fight this pandemic we are testing more than any country on earth and are speeding toward treatments that will save thousands of lives ..[it will be the private sector that makes the difference in this fight ! but what if the POTUS was a big government business taxing liberal ? would the private sector be used as effectively in this fight ? if recent history tells us anything the answer is no ! so in the future when the naysayers on the left claim that big government is the answer and more regs and higher taxes are the answer remember this struggle we are facing ! it will be the private sector that has the biggest impact in stopping this virus ...that and taking personal responsibility over our actions like social distancing personal responsibility [something else the left does not believe in ] and not relying on big government to solve all our problems.
Had there been a Democrat in the White House, there would not have been a need to get the private sector involved in the testing. The CDC would not have been without leadership and the roll out of the test would have gone better.
Had there been a Democrat in the White House, the country would have started preparations in December, like the rest of the first world, and so the whole pandemic would be taking a much different trajectory.
WTF do you know about it ya canadian ****?
Jealousy. Plus conservatives in general have little respect for women.
Every time you compare the USA to Canada, the USA comes out on the short end of the stick. Best country in the world two live in the past two years running. Better education, better health care, cleaner air and water, and fastest growing middle class in the world, before this mess.
We had our first case the same day you did. We now have over 6000 cases and you have 160,000. Your rate of infection graph is a line almost vertical and our is a very slowly rising horizontal line. We had tests from day one and we tested aggressively, especially people coming from China, Iran and Italy. 20% of our cases (when we were at about 1000 cases), came from the USA.
That's why Canada and Mexico closed the border with the USA. Trudeau initially closed the border to everyone but Americans, and the press excoriated him for that, because so many of our cases were Canadians returning from the US. Reports I was reading out of Mexico said something similar for their President. I know Trump and Pence told the American people the they closed the northern and southern borders but that's not what happened. Canada and Mexico closed the border with the USA.
