3 months ago 5K people were infected in a single day in China. The current administration was completely trained on how to handle a pandemic right after the inauguration. Unfortunately most of those folks have been fired and 3 months ago we were distracted by yet another scandal this time ending in Impeachment.
However 2 months ago this was the message from the White House:
'When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.'
That un-fucking-believable 'head in the sand' moment happened at peak infection in China; 80K people infected. This administration isn't a month behind; they simply don't deal with things unless they are forced to.
The US stockpiles ventilators for emergencies like this for a reason. Someone was asleep at the switch in our Federal Government and the reaction is to lie about how well they are doing and blame everyone else.
I'm fed up, aren't you?
- freeopinion 7y ago3 months ago the first four cases walked into a hospital in China. I don't want to defend the current US political powers. I'm highly discouraged about a lot of things. But it doesn't help to make unfair accusations based on bad facts. If your criticisms are based on fiction they get tossed out. Just rebase on truth and you might have some much more supportable criticism. There's plenty to legitimately criticize. When you drown out legitimate criticism with baseless criticism, the noise to signal suppresses real criticism. It is unclear whether this is intentional.
