This wouldn't have happened if Hillary Clinton had won

The coronavirus is the most foreseeable disaster in history — and so is President Trump’s inability to rise to the occasion.

There were scattered warnings before Pearl Harbor and 9/11 of what was to come. But nothing like this. My Post colleagues report that throughout January and February, the U.S. intelligence community was warning Trump that the pandemic was going to hit America. “The system was blinking red,” one official said.

But Trump wasn’t paying attention. “It will all work out well,” he blithely tweeted on Jan. 24 while credulously thanking Chinese President Xi Jinping for “working very hard to contain the Coronavirus.” (A British study suggests China could have eliminated 95 percent of its cases if it had acted three weeks earlier, when a doctor first called attention to the epidemic in Wuhan.)

Because of Trump’s negligence, the United States lost two months of response time — precious days that should have been used to test the population, produce more N95 masks and ventilators, and build new hospital beds. This past week, the Pentagon finally announced that a Navy hospital ship would be heading to New York — but it will take at least two weeks to get ready. Why wasn’t the deployment order given sooner? Even now, with the crisis upon us, Trump hesitates to use his full authority to order wartime production of ventilators needed to keep thousands of patients alive.

1. Almost none of this shit should not be happening. End or story

Trump fired Obama's Global Pandemic Response Team whose job it was to be on the
look out for exactly what we are going through right now with C-19.

Somebody or somebodies stopped the funding for a coronavirus vaccine (SARs) in 2018.

In late Jan./early Feb. of 2020 the Seattle Dept. of Health and the University of Washington found a case
of C-19 and reported it to the Trump run CDC and they were told to stop testing.

Trump turned down the W.H.O. C-19 test kits which were critically needed. The rumor is that he wanted
to make money by selling his own C-19 test kits.

Trump, Fox, and the republicans told us time after time that C-19 was a hoax. And then did nothing to
prepare America and the world for the coming wave of illness and death.

2. I think lots of Americans would still get infected, it's just we would know our Prez is doing

what is best for us and will get us through as well as possible. With trump it's just the opposite.
