This C-19 nightmare was so preventable

[Botany]

Trump shut down something that very well could have caught and stopped C-19 because
the project was "the black guy's idea."

1. Almost every agency

that could have sounded the early warnings were closed or gutted. The ones left did sound alarms and were promptly ignored. if they kept sounding the alarm they were demoted. Like we see with Dr Bright, a world renowned scientist, being insulted by the guy who wants people to stick UV lights up their ass.

2. Page nine specifically mentions Corona virus

""Obama's White House National Security Council left the Trump administration a detailed document on how to respond to a pandemic. The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, is called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.
"We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored," Ronald Klain, a campaign adviser to Democratic candidate Joe Biden and the former Obama administration Ebola response coordinator, wrote on Twitter.
The playbook -- 40 pages plus appendices -- contains step-by-step advice on questions to ask, decisions to make, and which federal agencies are responsible for what. It includes sample documents that officials could use for inter-agency meetings. And it explicitly lists novel coronaviruses as one of the kinds of pathogens that could require a major response."
