Like it or hate it,the following is only my opinion:
To think that one life could have been spared if we had prepared is foolish at best.
One can only react to the unknown. The speed to which one reacts determines the outcome.
Yes we have lost lives...........one to many lives.............but hundreds of thousands have been
spared because our nation reacted quickly.....maybe not quickly to some as that is a matter of debate
but quickly enough to spare what could have been a much greater trauma to our country of over 300 million.
God Bless America!
God Bless President Donald Trump .....................2020 woo....hoo!
I don't know why Trump is constantly brought into this. Some of his decisions helped, some didn't. But regardless, more people should've taken the initiative to prepare and take precautions earlier on. This means state governors, companies, and regular people. None of them should need to be told by a casino reality tv star how to handle an infectious pandemic. It's not like there wasn't plenty of warning from seeing other countries being ravaged.

The same thing is happening in the UK with Boris.
The very same people who hated him winning the election and causing Brexit to happen are now the same haters attacking him for his actions on C-19.
Most of them are in the media.
How it must pain them that opinion polls show massive support for the very difficult job that he and his party are doing in very trying circumstances.
It's not a good look for Trump when even Dubya knows more than him.
When is the "stable genius" side of him supposed to come out?

i get that you hate trump with a passion, in fact it BLINDS YOU to reality. lets look back to 2009 shall we? lets talk the flu epidemic that hit this country that we were not prepared for. obamas response was at best sluggish when compared to trumps response to the covid-19 response pandemic. trump pushed through the efforts to get medications out there to fight the virus, especially considering that there were NO MEDICATIONS APPROVED for the virus. and lets look at the medias, and the democrats, response to trumps efforts shall we?
regarding trumps travel ban, that they now concede was a good idea, was at first considered xenophobic, racist, unnecessary, etc. when trump pushed medications that had proved effective and SAFE when used against SARS and MERS, both covid viruses, and medications that have been around since 1955 with a PROVEN safety record, trump was considered to be pushing bad medications that were dangerous and unproven, and ineffective. well guess what people, like it or not TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!
when trump ordered the hospital ships to new york and california, the media said it would take weeks if not months for them to get into place, and that trumps timeline was pure fantasy. well the ships were in position a week AHEAD of schedule. remember we are talking about sending in the navy whose motto in situations like that is "the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes only a little longer" GO NAVY!!
so bleat on about hating trump all you want, but at least look at the reality of the situation and the reality of trumps response to that situation, including the effectiveness of that response, and be truthful. dont let your hate of the man blind you.

ABC news reported that the USA military in Asia has been telling anybody who would listen Covid 19 was coming since November.
I don't think it could have been stopped, but it damn sure could have been handled differently had the administration permitted people who know what they are doing take the lead.
The very fact that states and medical facilities were catapulted into a bidding war to obtain PPE, will cost taxpayers and health insurance companies for years to come. That .10 made in DFW masks would have been a lot cheaper than what some are now paying.
Somebody must have needed time to calculate how to monetize disease.
Yeah well. He was dead wrong about going into Iraq. What's your point?
All those Americans who voted for him to serve a second term didn't think he was dead wrong.
You try finding a Yank who'll admit to doing that now - they're as rare as hen's teeth.

Using that same logic, that means Dubya knows more than Obama too or will you just only apply it to Trump because you are a Leftist?
