Oh you convinced me.........yep Trump should have had his ass in Atlanta cleaning up that contaminated CDC lab and fixing that test that the incompetent fools at CDC were unable to get going.
I'm sure he had somebody get them on the phone and then he bellowed "I don't care if the test is ****ed up - just get it out NOW!!"
seee, there are people out there, even on this thread, that believe something like this.
they'd been through SARS
they share a border with China and live under a different level of readiness than we do since 20% of their population lives within ~50 miles of their mortal enemy
they had one main cell of infection - that church, in their 5th largest city
they're happy to comply with forced testing, tracing, etc.
"Whack claims" are that he alone ignored:
CDC
FDA
WHO experts
PS - you've been saying "did nothing for 6 weeks" for page after page. Please don't think a new claim of "just January" is fooling anyone.

Please tell us what Trump did to contain this virus from Jan 10th up until Feb 27th when he claims the virus is very much under control.
I need to cite for you that Seoul is 50 miles from the NK border?
By the way, I was actually wrong - SK does not share a border with China. It's 100 miles away separated by the Yellow Sea. You need a map link for that too?
Upon arrival, we were escorted outside the building for COVID-19 testing, and boarded a chartered bus to a police facility, to wait for the test results overnight. Food and other amenities were provided, and I received my results the following morning.
After my negative test result, the chartered bus took all the foreign passengers back to the airport, where we were asked not to use any form of public transport to return home (taxis are checked to make sure there are no arrival passengers using them). When I got home, I had to report back on my health status every day. I was also given a grocery box and a basic set of masks and hand sanitizer!”
now, I may delve into your actual scientific opinion from time to time so that I can better understand. However, given it's clear that you're as interested in blaming Trump as solving the issue, I'm done responding to your blathering pablum.
Who cares what he says...are you basing the entire republican party by this one person (it's still better than wearing a mask incorrectly, you know like a few very prominent dems).... but to the bold you said above, does the mask or any mask other than the actual medical m95 (not sure the actual name) mask...Does wearing a mask PROTECT you from the DEADLY COVID-19?
I had a delightful lunch with an ocean view on an open patio. We were socially distant and safe.
People have to be patient, and we need to be measured as we approach opening up.
And we need a govt. that is giving a consistent, strong message that takes health of residents first and the economic health second.
Whatever their message it needs to be strong and consistent.
if you're 65+ or have serious other comorbidities, stay away from other people. How hard is that?
I've seen (elsewhere) a post today from an Amazon "data analyst" worker at a distribution facility who is mortally afraid of infecting her 4 year old. is the infection rate at Amazon?
What is the infection rate at Amazon? hospitalization rate? What is the hospitalization rate for < 18 year olds?
So the federal govt. came out with guidelines and the governors went rogue. It was as if they were told to go rogue or they are thick as a brick in the head and misunderstood....and the President didn't pull them back -- or on track with his guidelines he applauded the protesters.
I don't care what it is --you create chaos if you don't have a strong message.
I'm ready for things to go back -- in a measured way. And I support actions being tried in our communities to work towards that but it is clear that the messaging in the White House is contradicting itselfd.
So what is it?
these are the guidelines you should follow (but the Federal government doesn't have jurisdiction), but if you don't and things go wrong, THEN we'll come down had on you.
if you will, tell us 3 states that are "doing it wrong". But remember to leave SC off your list, since you wee happy to enjoy the relaxed rules.
One thing is for sure, it ain't going away in the summer. It will slow down, but not go away. I'm in Miami, and it's spreading just fine, yet we've been hitting 90 everyday, humid as all get out, and a sun searing everything.
