The mines have gone off and we have already started taking in water. Captain Rump is already in the ship’s only lifeboat rowing furiously away from the stricken ship. He pauses only to shout to the people left aboard “ Everything is under control, go back to your business “.
President Obama’s administration provided the incoming Trump administration with a thoroughly developed pandemic response plan which was promptly circular filed. The U.S. is seeing the results of President Trump’s “leadership” and “planning” abilities in action during this crisis.
Until a vaccine for Covid-19 is developed.. and all the Anti-Vaxxers are subdued.. this threat be with us. This.. will be our new normal for several years.
Last night on AHC, American Heroes Channel, ran a show that originally aired in March of 2017. How the World Ends: Episode 5 Pandemic PandemoniumThey predicted this pandemic. It was no surprise, nor unexpected.
It is questionable if it was ignored by tRump and his administration or not. He fired the CDC upper staff and cut the Obama CDC budget, and cut the National Security health position.
Covid-19 was not in Trump’s plan for re-election. Blaming Obama, media, and the Democrats didn’t work. Trump using his personal propaganda machine, Faux News, didn’t work. Pretending the virus isn’t really that bad failed miserably. Trump tried everything he could BS the virus away. Mega failure! Critical time lost. Now he claims that he knew this was going to be bad all along. Nice try. With Trump, failure always seems to be the end result. It’s what he does best, besides lying.
There are going to pandemic warnings (and real pandemics) periodically, no matter what. But it would be nice if we were willing to invest in preventive measures and a stronger healthcare system, to be able to handle them…
Project Aura was initiated in 2006 after the SARS scare. It was supposed to provide 10k ventilators, and other supplies for a respiratory “epidemic” EACH year, over 15 yrs. If it was funded and implemented, we should have plenty of supplies on hand. Anyone that held office from then to now is accountable.
Just like when President Bill Clinton tried to warned people on Capitol Hill about Osama bin Laden way back in 1993 after a truck bomb tried to take down one of towers then! Nobody listened! And we all saw what happened afterwards.

And Trump decommissioned the minesweeper (disbanded the CDC task force) after he took office.
