Is it true, that no state or local administration is able to function without input from the federal government?

[PhilFish]

Yes, Locals plays defense, while the Fed's can't go their shit together enough to go on offense.

hmm. odd..

so, no no one can think or prepare absent the fed??

 

[Dawg]

They didn't expect a global pandemic.

I don't expect a home fire but I have smoke detectors

it's how dictatorships are formed

if Trump had then they'd say he was a dictator

One of the craziest things we learned from this epidemic is hospitals only have enough PPE for about two weeks. Unbelievable, especially after the Ebola scare when we found out they were so ill prepared.

It would be like fire departments that only have one hose.

You would think that with a Trillion dollar a year budget that the Military would have a blue million of everything... and they probably do but not for You.

Who has time to prepare when they have to do the Fed's job on top of their own?

how?

and why were they not?

 

[Jack4freedom]

but we're not talking war...

and we are coordinating it n a national level..

meanwhile, were the states constrained in some way in planning?

So far, it looks like many states are taking action on their own because they happen to have great Governors like Cuomo, Newsome and Inslee. Others like the morons in Florida, Georgia and Mississippi have been sitting around while their states become more infected and wait for Trump to tell them what to do.

 

[ObamacareForever]

how?

Coordinating a COVID response.

and why were they not?

Because Trump was born with an extra chromosome.

as they should...no?

odd.. what does a chromasome have to do with the actions of state governments and their actions...?

Pandemic's can't be contained at the local level.

 

[PhilFish]

Pandemic's can't be contained at the local level.

so you're not quarantining? no one near you is?

 

[ObamacareForever]

so you're not quarantining? no one near you is?

I am self-isolating. Does that mean the virus is contained? No, because there isn't a national level shut down.

 

[PhilFish]

I am self-isolating. Does that mean the virus is contained? No, because there isn't a national level shut down.

are others near you doing similarly?

didnt say that meant the virus was contained..

 

[Dawg]

Who has time to prepare when they have to do the Fed's job on top of their own?

seems some here have posted if they can't do the job he shouldn't have taken the job

maybe that apllies to 'they' as well...…..no

 

[ObamacareForever]

are others near you doing similarly?

No, the people in Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming are near me and they haven't issued stay at home orders.

didnt say that meant the virus was contained..

All these local shutdowns are pointless unless there is some coordination

so, all the people in the states referenced (whom you have personally scrutinized each and every one..) are not of a capacity to resolve their own decision on self quarantine and distancing?

further, you yourself were unable to take action/did not take action for yourself and family..before someone told you to do so?

How many people not following social distancing guidelines does it take to spread the virus?

 

[Dawg]

I am self-isolating. Does that mean the virus is contained? No, because there isn't a national level shut down.

Post as that is why I think every male should have to do 2 or 4 years in military when they graduate high school...…...it's clear today they need be trained how to adapt & overcome

 

[PhilFish]

why another tangent...

what of my question.. are they all sitting about ...waiting?
