Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

You do realize that because of him we are testing far more people than anyone else in the world. The CDC f...d up testing and he quickly fixed it. Perhaps you were in favor of just waiting for the CDC to fix the testing issues

Trump made no plans from Jan to March. We're still behind because of his inaction.

Why Is the U.S. Behind on Coronavirus Testing?

I appreciate Dr Fauci's contributions to society but it's time for him to step down it be removed after this pandemic runs it's course.

It's time for you to lay down in the middle of I-40.

We're behind in testing because the CDC botched the preparation of test kits as bad as humanly possible.

 

[Purple Tiger]

The president is not responsible for governors who make a conscious decision not to order ventilators.

Then why was Trump bidding against the states for them?

Tests per million are such an inconsequential argument when you look at population. There's no way South Korea tests the actual number of people who have. No chance

You think testing 2 million out of 330 milllion Americans is inconsequential? I think it is malfeasance.

WTF did Cuomo refuse to replenish NY supply in 2015 when advised they were 16 k short? Trump was not the president then nor the governor of NY.

 

[NCFisher]

Meanwhile, our fat-assed leader failed to order test kits and medical supplies while he lied to Americans. He's a worthless sack.

When should the president have ordered test kits and when did he? What medical supplies should he have ordered, and when. Lastly, do governors and state legislatures play any role in emergency preparedness in your world?

That is, are you even aware state governments exist?

There was no COVID-19 in China just waiting to attack us, that's why.

Stay on task 500k tops in S Korea. No way they can test the amount of people we have

Don’t wait until it’s over, get rid of him now

Lol so you wait until you need them and then don't have them and blame the closest Republican.

Again, why was Trump in a bidding war with state governments for these supplies if obtaining them is the purview of the states?

Hoax

Tough day, set a new peak in deaths.

They did but we have accomplished so much since.

I don't disagree but Americans are comfortable with him now and just don't think it would be a good time

Did anyone think we needed more ventilators before Jan 2020?

I was talking about the US, F-wad.

You do realize that if the president had ordered ventilators to be produced the day the first case was reported we still wouldn’t have them??

 

[Mick]

It isn't simply a domestic issue, *global* export demand has also crashed. There was no problem until world governments shuttered economies; no one was dumping milk til now.

No, all the overhead hasn't occurred. You can't put a gag order on cows' udders; the same milk is produced and has to be harvested every day. If there's no place for it to go, you don't throw good money after bad by processing it.
U.S. dairy farmers dump milk as pandemic upends food markets

"Global export demand" for Milk? We don't ship milk all over the world. Think Canada, Mexico, NAFTA and the trade war. The Canadians are probably poring out milk too.

But you were comparing them as a failure to the amount of tests done by SK you wad

How not? Ford is already making an average of 50 a day and they just got started making them.

Did anyone see the report out of Knoxville today..... they said there were just 35 active cases with 115 recovered

I guess I don't understand why testing is a huge deal at this point. Testing is irrelevant for the sickest patients, and we've tested enough people at this point that I'm confident the data out there is an accurate representation of the outbreak, fatality rate not withstanding.

Mass testing is important for getting back to work in a controlled manner. But that can't be it, because I've been told going back to normal before anything less than a vaccine is available is crazy.
