Ahem! Have you thought about what you will do for medical care when the entire US medical resources are either fighting the pandemic — or down for the count?
Have you? Are you ready for banana republic medical care, Amigo?
I’m like a mad hornet when dumb dumb interrupts programming…he can’t even speak, let along understand what he’s saying…he reads a script someone else wrote….tremendous, bigly, fantastic, beautiful, wonderful, GAG ME!
What will folks who having a ruptured appendix do while all this is going on? Another Commenter and I were commiserating over the fact that he needs “elective” heart surgery and I need rotator cuff repair. Not now, folks. Later. Much later. My problem can wait, but I worry about his.
Put Trump in a rubber room, and project scenes of his cheering crowds on all four walls. He won’t be able to tell the difference, and intelligent and sane people will heave sighs of relief.
n 2017, the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense survived the transition intact. Its mission was the same as when the Obama administration established it after the Ebola epidemic of 2014: to do everything possible within the vast powers and resources of the U.S. government to prepare for the next disease outbreak and prevent it from becoming an epidemic or pandemic.One year later, the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like covid-19.The U.S. government’s slow and inadequate response to the new coronavirus underscores the need for organized, accountable leadership to prepare for and respond to pandemic threats.In a health security crisis, speed is essential. When this new coronavirus emerged, there was no clear White House-led structure to oversee our response, and we lost valuable time. Health systems are struggling to test patients and keep pace with growing caseloads. The specter of rapid community transmission and exponential growth is real and daunting. The job of a White House pandemics office would have been to get ahead: to accelerate the response, empower experts, anticipate failures, and act quickly and transparently to solve problems. It’s impossible to assess the full impact of the 2018 decision to disband the White House office responsible for this work, but it is clear that eliminating the office has contributed to the federal government’s sluggish domestic response. What’s especially concerning about the absence of this office today is that it was originally set up because a previous epidemic made the need for it quite clear.When asked about the slow roll-out of coronavirus tests in the U.S. on March 13, President Trump responded, “I don’t take responsibility at all.” Trump is not just responsible for it. He owns it The Trump Plague is not just his responsibility. It’s his fault.

Besides his own, Dr. Fauci should get all of the air-time that Trump is currently using. More Truth and fewer lies.

He is jonesin’ for a rally. He is getting very selective when comes to allowing who gets to ask the questions.
