    100 million N95 masks got used up out of the US emergency stockpile with the swine flu and never got reordered.
    Trash had 3 years to correct any deficiencies, that he could also have hit Obama with.

    Trash did nothing AND made everything worse.

    The talking point that's going to be hit hard is Dennison was too distracted by impeachment to be a competent leader.
    lol

    Trump was acquitted on Feb. 5, emergency COVID-19 declaration was made on March 13.

    I can't blame everything on the President. He probably assumed the people in charge of that stuff had reordered. If they requested funds to resupply masks and Congress didn't appropriate the funds, that's another story.

    When Trash was presented by the pandemic team's list of grave preparedness deficiencies based on their decades long exercises, simulation of pandemic response, Trash disbanded the effort AND ignored their report.

    A couple months later, covid-19 arrives, and STILL Trash did nothing for six weeks, instead mislead his cult mob into a death cult mentality.

    It's 2020.

    Trump has been president since 2017.

    The buck stops with him.

    off boukaki. I didn't blame Obama. that's as stupid as blaming Trump for Covid19. Congress appropriates funds for purchases like that.

    Cuomo has over 1200 dead Americans on his ledger. Sugar coating it every morning with a Give-a-Show Projector presentation doesn't change that 1200+ dead count.

    C'mon, CC, let's wait for bouts in your truck tonite. We'll play 2 handed Canasta & eat pistachios. We'll settle his in' hash then finish our game & pistachios, then watch the homeless rut.

    We'll have a grand time!

    A Pandemic Expert Tells Us Why She Was So Wrong About Coronavirus

    'I just assumed that the US system would be a little bit better...and I just couldn't have been more wrong.'

    Theresa MacPhail, a medical anthropologist, Assistant Professor at Stevens Ins ute of Technology, and author of the book The Viral Network: A Pathology of the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic.

    In late February, she spoke optimistically with me about America’s ability to handle the coming Covid-19 outbreak. In early March, she got sick with what she believes to be Covid-19.

    She reached out to me recently, insisting to go on the record again to say that

    she was wrong, and that

    she put too much faith in the CDC and America’s ability to manage the crisis.

    I feel guilty. I feel like I should have known better.

    assumed that the US system would be a little bit better,

    would be a little bit more robust and

    do more testing and containment

    than China was able to do, and

    I just couldn't have been more wrong.

    I was wrong to believe people in the leadership of this administration would actually give a and start acting like adults at some point. It's been all politics and magical thinking.

    It's decades-old strategy, first announced by St Ronnie the Diseased

    "Govt isn't the solution. Govt is the problem"

    Then the President of the USA formalized Capital's War on Labor by firing 10Ks of govt employees

    Trash's administration is not an anomoaly, it's 100% coherent with the oligarchy/Repug strategy of destroying govt For The People, while operating govt exclusively for the oligarchy.

    Donald Trump donated his salary to fight the virus, Nancy Pelosi asked for a raise.

    This is all you really need to know.

    I think literally anyone other than Dennison would've handled this crisis better and the US would've been more prepared.

    Just think, if Obama was still president instead of trump we'd all be watching basketball right now and eagerly awaiting the Masters.

    My favorite time of year.

    Instead, ignored the crisis and we had to cancel everything. Great going s.
    We were headed for that outcome (cancelled sports seasons, quarantines, etc) regardless of who was in office. It was never a question of if the virus would us, it was a question of how badly. And when looking at it in those terms, we definitely have the worst possible leader. John Oliver said it best, “It was always going to be hard, but it didn’t have to be this hard.”

    Sorry to be abrupt like that, Dumps.

    You're hitting him politically, but, I can't promise if it were Hillary I wouldn't be doing likewise.

    Sorry, Trump will go down in history as a failed president. This seals it. No other president would've done worse. You may never accept it, but that's how it's going to go.

    Agree. Trump had 3 years to fix it. Obama had 6 years to fix it. General incompetence in pandemic preparation from both sides.
