But see...this is where everyone's hatred for the current President shows. Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that had China not hid this from the world(and destroyed records of it along the way as well as silenced doctors etc), that we would have been more prepared and executed better had we known about it sooner. That's just facts.
Yep. Looking at the CT list, it seems as though everyone other than clowns and mimes are "essential." Makes it kind of a faux lockdown.
See no. That's the exact wrong way to interpret this and leads me to believe you didn't read the article.This report is from October. Long before the current crisis. And YES!!! We were prepared!!! But being prepared doesn't mean much if we don't execute well on that preparedness when the time comes. And that's exactly what happened. Which is even more damning of the current administration considering that these people STILL were denying it was a problem as of about three weeks ago. Even though we HAD a plan, and considered quite prepared, we F*CKED up the execution.So no matter how many times you practice the onside kick, there's always a chance its gonna get screwed up when the time times.In short....Donald Trump is the nation's Brian Bostick.

What a total and utter failure of our government.And then there are idiots who have the audacity to defend this?
It sounds more and more like you have a vested interest in this being bad. Which explains a lot. And it's probably true of a lot of people here and around the country.
Are you saying he wants thousands to die?
I'm saying he and others are overly focused on the most negative aspects of the current situation and the uglier potential future situations here. Any potentially reassuring data or study gets dismissed or ignored pretty quickly. Anything that builds the case for bigger numbers gets built up.
Are you saying that people focused on the absolute worst that could happen to the economy aren't also focused on the most negative aspects?
Oh please. I've been the one beating the drum since January that this is going to be bad unless we do something. I have very close friends that are doctors and nurses in Wisconsin and Illinois. Our family business is operating at less than 10% capacity since last week. My parents are on a god damned cruise ship just off of South America that is currently reporting 87 people with flu like symptoms. There is a boat that should be meeting them in two days with supplies, and covid tests. Both parents are over 70 and have underlying health conditions.So understand me when I say, that I have absolutely EVERYTHING to lose, and I am DISGUSTED by our government's response. I am just some yahoo from Wisconsin, and even I could see what was coming for over two months!You, sir, can go straight to hell. I'm sorry you can't math yourself out of this.
I overstepped, and I'm sorry for that. Understanding the situation you're in makes it clear why this is so important to you. What I interpreted as political bias was actually driven something else more meaningful.
This is 2 weeks old, but early research from the University of Maryland suggests warmer temperatures will help to slow down the spread of the virus."Researchers at the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and the Global Virus Network (GVN) predict that COVID-19 will follow a seasonal pattern similar to other respiratory viruses like seasonal flu."“Based on what we have documented so far, it appears that the virus has a harder time spreading between people in warmer, tropical climates,” said study leader Mohammad Sajadi, MD"https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/news/2020/Researchers-Predict-Potential-Spread-and-Seasonality-for-COVID-19-Based-on-Climate-Where-Virus-Appears-to-Thrive.html
IMO trump is just doing what he does best in creating an argument that distracts from the underlying. I am encouraged by Birx, Fauci and Adams are still engaged and giving sound advice and measured expectations. I’m too worn out to get dragged into the political fighting. It’s just not worth it.
Sure. But I see a lot less of that. Could just be about where I'm looking I guess.
