California cases --- 952 deaths---18 --- recovered---0

What's next for CA at this point? Total lockdowns?

What do you think Trump should be held accountable?

He and his supporters are more than happy to claim the highs, but never the lows...

BS ---and you know it, too. It was impossible to stop it in its tracks. Don't pretend otherwise. Tell every single country in this world that they "screwed up".

If you're looking to blame someone, put the blame squarely where it belongs and that is China. You are dreaming if you think there was a way to stop the spread across the world.

Yeah right.

This virus is called "a novel virus" which means when it showed up, no one had ever seen it in the world. China tried to hide it from the world which only made things worse.

Did you want Trump to immediately declare martial law and force a total lockdown?

Never did I ever claim Trump was perfect.

You also know that much of this falls at the feet of every state. Some took it more seriously than others did. Again, how do you get them all on the same page? Martial law?

Did Taiwan screw up? They are just fine and they had the first case before we did.

It's not a binary choice.


Not voting for Trump doesn't mean voting for Biden.
