Considering NY is the epicenter of all of this, and completely closing down the economy doesn't seem to be effective in stemming it, do you still think that these coward governors are doing the right thing in destroying their respective economies over this, or do you view it as an over reaction?
I think those cowards who clung to Trump's fantasy instead of following the advice of medical experts will have that cowardice come back to haunt them.
Instead of? Cuomo is following the medical experts supposed advice. How is that working out for him? NY is the epicenter of this thing. Most states are doing far better.
Trump was well aware of that and some even did accuse him of over-reacting at the start. The point was that many leaders wished to exercise caution but were trying not to strangle their local economies. It made sense at the time.
Apparently he is going to let the virus do the strangling for him, because he wasted valuable time we can not get back.
I'd say a 10-12 day period where the public was not seeing much action still does not translate into inaction, as much was happening by calls and behind closed doors. Your presumptions are simplistic and incorrect.
Yes, it is my position, obviously correct, that some people espouse racist theories. The rules are against calling people names, not against criticizing their theories.
I can’t speak for other conservatives/ “right wingers”, but I have no interest in politicizing/weaponizing worldwide pandemics.
Link to a national wide quarantine on January 31. I think I would have remembered that, guessing it’s just more of your gaslighting. Anyway, declaring a public health emergency shows you are on top of things now? Trump was still saying the situation was “very much under control” as of Feb. 23.
Their survival was threatened by it.
Yes, he can politicize public health meetings if he wants to. The question is whether his doing so is harmful to the public health.
Trump was warned by the intelligence agencies about this back in Jan. It was not until this Friday that he even admitted this was going to hit the nation hard.
Imagine where New York would be if he had NOT followed their advice. Soon you won’t have to because you will SEE it in Alabama, Texas, etc.Instead of? Cuomo is following the medical experts supposed advice. How is that working out for him? NY is the epicenter of this thing. Most states are doing far better.
It's "evil" to misstate the entire approach the federal government used.
They sold their stocks, didn’t they? Is that what you mean by taking action? Cause they sure didn’t do a damn thing to make tests, masks, or ventilators available or to discourage large public gatherings.
That is NY. I am talking about CA. The leaders in this state acted early and they came down hard on non essential places that stayed open. In LA they shut off the water and power to businesses that did not comply and threatened the owners with arrest.
LOL calling a partisan based impeachment a partisan based impeachment is harmful to public health? I suppose only if you're a democrat.
So they didn’t quarantine people with Ebola exposure? Oh, wait, they did.Trump administration declares coronavirus emergency, orders first quarantine in 50 years
U.S. citizens from parts of China will undergo entry health screenings and will be monitored during a 14-day self-quarantine, officials said.www.usatoday.com
WASHINGTON – The Donald Trump administration declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a public health emergency in the United States on Friday, setting quarantines of Americans who have recently been to certain parts of China.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said it was the first quarantine order issued by the federal government in over 50 years. Marty Cetron, director of CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, said the last time a quarantine was used was in the 1960s for smallpox.
"The risk of infection for Americans remains low," said Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services and chairman of the coronavirus task force set up by Trump. "We are working to keep the risk low."
Azar described the new entry rules and quarantines as "prudent, targeted, and temporary." He said the United States is working to complement efforts by China and the World Health Organization to contain the deadly virus in China. Quarantines are imposed on people who may be exposed to an illness but are not yet sick, Cetron said.
