Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[DMC]

The U.S. exported more than $1.7 million worth of surgical masks to China in January alone – more than double the previous January. In February, shipments surged to $15.8 million, the data show.

Jesse Wang, co-founder of LuggEasy, a company that provides shipping services to Chinese residents in the U.S., confirmed the surge of masks exports in February. His company exported 14,000 to 15,000 pounds of masks from the U.S. to China in early 2020 alone.

At a retail price of roughly 50 cents a mask – which is likely higher than what wholesale customers would have paid – that meant more than 31.6 million surgical masks were shipped to China during the second month of the year, based on the trade data.

That was February. He had the DPA to use and reroute all those masks to the stockpile. Was that Obama's fault too?

You wanted him to use the DPA in early February? How many infections/deaths were there then?

120% Obama's fault
-55% Trump's fault

True, that would've taken leadership and reading PDBs and .

Does that matter? The point was to prevent them for happening in the first place. That’s why you act in February and not April.

Why does the infection count matters now? Isn't that what you do when you suspect there might be something ing big coming your way? You prepare? That's leadership.

Did he even know we had a PPE backlog? I suspect he had no idea.

An idiot like hater was calling this on January 22nd, see the first post on this thread.

Would’ve detracted from the 8 hours of watching fox and friends — essential aspects of his impeachment defense

Especially since he has absolute authority.

Is DMC blaming 70 percent of the pandemic's fallout on Obama and 30 percent on Trump?

Or just the PPE debacle? Even if we blame the PPE debacle 100 percent on Obama, Trump is largely to blame for the US's overall response to the pandemic. This is the smoking in' gun, and no amount of spinning, talking about closing down travel with China (which didn't actually happen, as some 40 thousand Chinese still travelled here after Trump's ban), and blaming Democrats will change that:

Days before, Republican senators were selling off stock.

However, on Feb. 13, the senator made more than 30 stock sales.

On Feb. 27, Burr told a private audience of wealthy cons uents that COVID-19 was "much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history. ... It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."

Oh yeah, but Dear Leader was oblivious. Nah, he was hoping the virus would turn out to be a "nothing burger" and downplayed and downplayed to protect the DOW. That was sole motivation until reality finally hit him in the face. He sacrificed Americans for the stock market, and that should never, ever be forgiven. "Uhhhh, b-b-but Democrats did this thing!" Lynch their asses, too. I don't give a about Pelosi, et al. That's the freedom you have when you don't revere politicians as some kind of savior.

DeflectMC is desperate to insulate Trump from any blame.

Why?

No idea.

So why did the mayor of NY tell people to go out and have fun?

Should Trump have sent in the Marines to stop them?

We all know this is what happened, and he thought he could talk his way out of this one like he had done with lots of things before.

He only realized how ed he was once somebody told him his re-election would be in jeopardy if he had 50k+ deaths on his tally.

Because I still don't think he gives one damn about the dead, he only gives a about his re-election.

It’s bizarre that people think they need to choose a side to criticize another. It’s totally acceptable to say: I hate what Obama did while President - and - I think Trump is just as bad. It’s this weird tribalism. For someone who refuses forced choices, you’d think they’d know better

Both sides sold off stock.

Don't be dishonest now Mid.

The governor and mayor of NY weren't too concerned about it even though they have large Chinese populations and a major connection point.

[midnightpulp]

Push harder for Bernie I guess?

Never happen. Just like we discussed the other day. The Left is too fractured. The moderate Left is also scared by the "socialism" word. I give Republicans full credit for understanding how to exploit single issues that can unite their base and drive them to the polls, those issues being Jebus, Abortion, Tax Cuts, and Guns. Whiny in' leftists want the "perfect" candidate. Like Joe Biden could be for every leftist cause in the book, but if he's against "bathroom laws," the SJW segment of the left will stay home. Meanwhile, an evangelical Republican would still get an atheist Libertarian's vote just for the tax cuts.

From Cuomo to Obama to Di Blasio ... still can’t defend Trump.

The mayor was really dumb to say that. He should t have. What’s that got to do with Trump ignoring national security briefing that told him it’d be prudent to build up the stockpile? Oh, right, nothing.

But you're not saying that. You're trying to pin people down on Trump. Why, who knows.

[ElNono]

DeBlasio got blasted here as far as I know, BTW... At least from the NY resident.

Cuomo also ed up with his ventilator stockpile.

Again, whataboutism doesn't invalidates any other criticism.

I specified Republicans in this case because they would presumably be more in communication with Trump. Diane Feinstein calling Trump probably doesn't get an answer.

I guess 22.5 thousand dead people don't matter as long as you get your TDS fix.

If it's status quo to ignore the briefing for 2 consecutive terms (Obama) then it's status quo.

At no point in time have you said: Trump ing sucks bro, yeah he really ed up.

You’re defending him.

Because he’s your cult leader
