Time To End The Shutdown?

"Trump has claimed that his administration could not have foreseen the coronavirus pandemic, which has spread to all 50 states and more than 180 nations, sickening more than 460,000 people around the world. “Nobody ever expected a thing like this,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday.

But Trump’s aides were told to expect a potential pandemic, ranging from a tabletop exercise that the outgoing Obama administration prepared for the president’s incoming aides to a “Crimson Contagion” scenario that health officials undertook just last year and modeled out potential risks of a global infectious disease threat."
Unfortunately China lied about their outbreak and the WHO covered for them. If they were honest thousands of lives could have been saved.

Thanks Obama.
They followed it?
"But under the Trump administration, “it just sat as a document that people worked on that was thrown onto a shelf,” said one former U.S. official, who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations. “It’s hard to tell how much senior leaders at agencies were even aware that this existed” or thought it was just another layer of unnecessary bureaucracy."

If only China hadn't lied.

If only tRump had been even a 1/2 competent leader!, listened to the experts and acted accordingly before the virus became a pandemic! If only he done something, anything before mid March!

ImPOTUS failed the country!

Not before mid March he didn't. NOTHING in February but golf and rallies!

Sheeple like you have horrible memories!

How many confirmed COVID-19 cases/deaths were there in the US by the end of February and do you think those numbers were high enough at the time that the average American would have agreed that a shut down of our economy was warranted?

Imagine what would have happened if our elected officials had inflicted the economic suffering we’re seeing now upon their constituents in February when the reason for doing so was not actually a visible thing yet. What do you think Democratic leaders would have said then?

Imagine if we had available widespread testing since February.
