Do Y’all hate scienctist or women or both? Dr Birx has told us, the data in early March pointed to Covid 19 being like SARS. China lied, people died
Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said March 31 that her team reviewed China’s statistics and thought the coronavirus outbreak would be no worse than SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), the 2002-03 epidemic that effected more than 8,000 people in 26 countries.

When it’s all said and done, this bad-faith analysis isn’t fact-based and lacks important context. Hating Trump is not an excuse for lazy argumentation and emotional reasoning. Now, more than ever, we need critical thinking and productive deliberation.I am using facts. The fact is that he messed up in early March when he had a chance to turn this thing around. In his words, "he choked like a dog". Today he is messing up again calling on active rebellion from his supporters. Just use your own eyes and ears for a change.

China lied, people diedAnd you claimed the WHO said the flu was more deadly than the virus. How did that work out? Speaking of the WHO, who are you going to blame next? Give up and face it, trump is a cruel, incompetent, lying, fukup. Has been his whole life.

Cheers!It may be armchair quarterbacking, but it certainly isn't hindsight. We've been saying since the first week in March that Trump's approach is really messed up, guess what? We were right. How could we not be right? We based our opinions off common sense, and the words of the scientific community. Today because of the recklessness exhibited in Trump's daily briefings, we have a cult of anti-social distancing morons in key states that Trump desperately needs to secure for his 2020 reelection.

Mid March I believe. Why so late?

“I spoke with a number of former U.S. diplomats and officials over the past two weeks about the U.S. response and how it’s been viewed on the global stage,” the journalist replied. “They essentially said that Trump has embarrassed the United States on the world stage and opened a void that’s been filled with China in terms of global leadership. One told me the U.S. has not behaved as a global leader during this pandemic and the U.S. is not even helping itself,” he continued. “What she was referring to was the lack of a robust testing system and the fact that governors had to turn to each other for help and in some cases even China in order to receive much needed medical equipment because Trump has denied them that help.”
Business Insider political editor John Haltiwanger said former U.S. diplomats are furious with Donald Trump over his coronavirus failures, saying he has become a source of embarrassment when viewed from overseas.

We are already starting to see the medication shortages because 80 to 90% of all US drugs are made in either China or India. Wait a few weeks. I haven't been able to find any info on the mandate for US manufacturers to step it up. A very dangerous position to be in.

“We see Donald Trump ill-prepared to be the leader of this wartime effort,” the historian began. “Yesterday the Washington Post talked about he just reached the 18,000 falsehood mark, meaning lying that many times to the American people. When you watch one of these briefings, you don’t know what to believe.”
“He’s in high scapegoat mode,” he continued. “Yesterday, it was John Kerry’s fault and Barack Obama, the World Health Organization who is trying to do work in Africa and Latin America. Money is going to be cut and the Democratic governors are no good and people are trying to take your guns away from you in Virginia. He was all over the map.”
“That wasn’t leadership that I witnessed,” he insisted. “What I saw was a president who is in re-election mode and the way he does that is to divide the country and he right now when we should be trying to heal the country.”

Americans at World Health Organization transmitted real-time information about coronavirus to Trump administration
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...1c77fa-818c-11ea-9040-68981f488eed_story.html
More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts, many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization as the novel coronavirus emerged late last year and transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration, according to U.S. and international officials.
A number of CDC staffers are regularly detailed to work at WHO in Geneva as part of a rotation that has operated for years. Senior Trump-appointed health officials also consulted regularly at the highest levels with the WHO as the crisis unfolded, the officials said.
The presence of so many U.S. officials undercuts President Trump’s charge that the WHO’s failure to communicate the extent of the threat, born of a desire to protect China, is largely responsible for the rapid spread of the virus in the United States.

BOOM!Which brings us to the WHO’s malfeasance in this affair. The WHO should have known at the outset that it was dealing with a bad-faith actor in Beijing. Yet instead of immediately insisting upon access, openness and transparency from China, WHO leadership followed the Chinese lead and at times even took the Chinese line.

The very fact that truth-seekers are left counting urns is an indictment not only of the Beijing regime, but also of the WHO. To help stem the pandemic, the WHO should have been tirelessly pressing China to tell the truth.
Far from sounding an alarm, however, the UN outfit was impassive while Beijing stonewalled international health authorities for weeks. Indeed, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised the Chinese regime for its “transparency” in the crisis. Tedros, recall, was Beijing’s candidate for WHO chief and owes his job to China’s campaign for him at the United Nations.

He didn’t shut the country down the individual states made that decision on different dates, in fact there eight states that still have no shelter in place policies.So then the obvious question is why did the states, say N.Y. not act faster? You have made countless arguments arguing all the information was available and Trump doesn’t have the authority to do it. So why didn’t N.Y. shut down months ago.

Remember, the leader of the free world was downplaying the threat (lying) all while knowing it was more serious.

Trump’s COVID-19 ‘testing czar’ got brutal performance review at his old job — and was told to resign or be fired
“After eight years of work on several vaccine projects, Giroir was told in 2015 he had 30 minutes to resign or he would be fired,” the Post reports. “His annual performance evaluation at Texas A&M… said he was ‘more interested in promoting yourself’ than the health science center where he worked. He got low marks on being a ‘team player.'”
