U.S. not prepared for coronavirus

[JuliefromOhio]

Thanks Trump. That would take forethought and planning. Instead, Trump abolished what was set in place by Obama to deal with a pandemic.

Why Trump’s Coronavirus Response Continues to Cause Concerns

With a pandemic looming, there are signs the Trump administration is improvising much of its strategy as it faces what may be its biggest crisis yet.

Trump has sabotaged America's coronavirus response.

Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response

As it improvises its way through a public health crisis, the United States has never been less prepared for a pandemic.

It's another big blunder of Trump's to downgrade what is so important to everyone. Playing catch up is not very helpful now to those in danger of dying or contracting the Coronavirus.
Why did Ziemer leave his post?

Typical. Posting articles that call Trump xenophobic at the beginning of the article tell you how seriously to take them right there

I am so disgusted at how this is being handled.

I have an idea lets bring ALL infected Americans back to America and don't restrict travel.

What could go wrong

This would be a great time to have a president who wasn’t a clueless ignoramus.

Ziemer was smarter than Trump and tried to do good policy. Trump can't have that....plus I think Trump is trying to do his worst....to push his supporters to the brink. Will they still support him in the morning?

I know.
Maybe Trump and his entourage will pick up coronavirus in his travels to India.

This is medical science and Trump and his Trumpies don't do science.

Yes, he was smarter than Trump, Trump's actions have now left us unprepared.

Collectively, warns Jeremy Konyndyk, who led foreign disaster assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Obama administration, “What this all adds up to is a potentially really concerning rollback of progress on U.S. health security preparedness.”

Read my link above...

The flu is still regarded as a killer..
We had/have a flu vaccine, although it's not a universal vaccine. It is considered to be helpful.

So helpful 80,000 Americans died of flu in 2018!

Libs post as if this is first virus dealt with...…………….why

 

[Addy]

If you would read the link I posted above -- you would understand why...

It's never ending the way new viruses can appear apparently. Some are more deadly/contagious that others. That's why we need funding and qualified officials to head up global health security.
Trump sends qualified people packing and doesn't replace them and cuts funding, or he combines much needed agencies.

Thank goodness we were already in a trade war with communist china, eh? Reduces the number of infected people flying back and forth.

My heart bleeds for apple and its $200 billion stashed in offshore banks to avoid taxes. They wont have a steady supply of Chinese made widgets if this keeps up, and they might have to actually consider producing phones here and hire actual americans.

Interesting point. When Corona virus starts appearing South of the border it will be an interesting discussion as far as preparedness is concerned

What does that have to do with the Trump admin not being prepared for pandemics? Not a thing.

It's as if Trump is purposely trying to endanger the American people.
