We must acknowledge, however, that for decades we have ignored some basic principles for preparedness for an epidemic threat.

We should have anticipated that a virus would, at some point, "get out". FEMA should have had strategic reserves of respirators and protective equipment.

We have spent our national treasure stockpiling instruments of war at the expense of other deadly threats. If we don't get a handle on this, more Americans will die from Covid-19 than were killed in WW2.

We had prepared, pandemic response had a place on the National Security Council. The pumpkin brain (apologies to pumpkins) wanted that expertise erased, so Bolton did it for him...

Right now, more than 77 thousand infected in the US and more than 1100 dead. Thanks tRump...

This is a problem created by the ENTIRE Republican party and ALL Repuke voters.

Greed above lives. The execs are taking huge salaries while the front line workers are taking the risks.

YES!!!!!

We gave the Repugs a golden opportunity to
remove the toxic toddler from office.

They threw it away, and here we are.

The ignorant belief that Govt is the problem if coming on 40 years.

They honor people who rip off Americans, no issues with price gauging, scams, etc. It is why they could even support tRump in the first place. They don't give a fuck that he is a scam artist, they idolize him because he gets away with it. At their core they are bad, no kind way to put it.

40 plus years of conservative ideology and policy has turned this country into a third world country except for a few wealthy spots.

I hoped it was just an over the top exaggeration. I should've known under donald j trump's presidency this is what it has come to. fucken garbage bags for our hospital workers.

trump would say - they are beautiful garbage bags, nobody in the world could imagine we'd be the first to use garbage bags, it's like a miracle.

... right.

While I applaud the ingenuity of these healthcare professionals, it is a freaking crime that in this country, in this day and age, they are forced to take such measures.

Anyone who voted for, continues to support, or turns a blind eye to the stain currently occupying the White House (I refuse to use the title when talking about him), should hang their heads in shame. Oh wait, they don't have any.

I wonder if Intel is sharing any of their bunny suits and rubber gloves with the local hospitals? HUGE manufacturing facilities in Oregon, NM, and Arizona.

trump excels at mindless destruction- he is the end of all things - 'everything trump touches dies' - he would implode if he uttered one word of truth. trump's toxic animosity, his brutal, ignorant hatred and arrogance are as contagious and virulent as COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus)

I despise the person I become when I think of him, or hear his voice or see his face, or hear any news about him or his minions. I am infected with his darkness, although I have tried, these past four years, to focus on the Light that I know to be the stronger force.

In addition to the doctor in China — who succumbed after his warnings were censored by Xi Jinping — we’ve lost a doctor here to the virus. One, so far...

Sorry, I can’t find the link at the moment, but it was from a reputable source.

I’ll repeat what I commented on another OP here: once we get through this absolute nightmare, we need a Nuremberg-like adjudication. These are crimes against humanity, and the dots connect in a straight-line to Nectarine Nero, who fiddles as our nation feverishly burns.
