CONCLUSION/ A significant percentage of the U.S. COVID-19 outbreak is attributable to a federal response hobbled by Trump's secret side communications with China. That changed only in March—after it was too late.

... certain parts of the GOP and Fox News was and still is the biggest crime in US history and this
is now one more level in this unending madness and cruelty.


BTW

Both Trump and Kushner were well aware of the C-19 virus and the disease in Nov. 2019 and then
they invested in hydroxychloroquine and in the manufacturing of their own C-19 test kits instead of
using the working model made by Germany/The WHO so they could make money instead of getting
America and the world ready for the coming pandemic.

And Trump, Pompeo, and Kushner sent 18 tons of PPE to China in Jan. and Feb. and that killed and
or got Drs., nurses, and 1st responders because they liked the need equipment. Turns out that Trump
has a 220 million $ nut that is due to China in 2021.

And just 3 days ago. Trump stole PPE in VA. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213399587

The # of C-19 dead here in America and world wide MIGHT very well be staggering. We are talking about Joseph
Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot type of #s.

Well if the politico piece you linked to is correct then yes Trump sabotaged it because
he was thinking about the $210,000,000 he owes the Chinese.

... the people, the lab space, and the protocols in place in Wuhan and they were looking for
coronaviruses that might cause a pandemic. Trump helped to kill that program because it
was "the black guy's idea."

And according to your links Trump was busy negotiating with China about the money he
owed them and not looking out for America and the World's best interest.

The #s that will die because of C-19 in America and world wide will be staggering.
And it is just about all on Trump.
