Trump and China's initial response to this was the same: Lie about it.
Why should I blame one but not the other?
Maybe because it came from China and they allowed it to spread around the globe? By your logic every leader in the world is to blame. Blaming Trump solves nothing. And yes, I know if Obama was president he’d get the same blame from the right, it’s ignorant. Human nature is to blame the person on top for a crisis, even if they aren’t responsible for it.
Rand Paul tested positive. On the one hand, this is karmic since he voted no on the relief bill, on the other hand it just goes to show how the haves have access to the tests while us have-nots don't unless we really get sick. Viva la resistance!
From real life accounts from people with Covid-19, I do not wish this nasty little virus on anyone.
The "I am more virtuous than thou because I raise my own chickens" crowd wants to tell you that everybody ought to live on a hobby farm isolated from urban life. That's simply not realistic.
Indeed.
There are also a lot of terrible doctors in rural areas. The better ones are mostly in the big cities.
Really? Time to get past the political blame game, this was coming no matter who was president. If you must place blame, China is a good place to start.
It was going to come no matter who was President, but it wouldn't necessarily be this out of hand no matter who was President.
Canada learned a lesson from SARS and swine flu and built a robust infrastructure to tackle future epidemics.
Obama built an infrastructure to deal with future epidemics.
Hillary Clinton in "Stronger Together" identified pandemics as one of our top national security issues and proposed building on Obama's pandemic infrastructure.
Trump slashed CDC funding and fired the entire White House pandemic response team.
Mr Trump said of the pandemic team that “some of the people we’ve cut they haven’t been used for many, many years and if we ever need them we can get them very quickly and rather than spending the money”.
Geez. It's too bad Trump didn't get all those people back in November, December, January, February. You know, when U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing warnings about an imminent biological threat.
