Why I think a lot of the blame for pandemic in America and Worldwide rests on Trump's head. This off
the top of my head so I might be wrong on some of my facts and figures.
> In 2017 he disbanded our Pandemic Task Force.
> In 2018 he fired the CDC's epidemiologist who was on the ground in Wuhan, China
looking for potential dangerous viruses in particular the sars corona viruses.
> In 2019 he pulled us out of international group (I think they were in China too) called
PREDICT that was looking for potential dangerous viruses.
> In November of 2019 our intelligence people told Israel of the C-19 virus and Trump
should have been told about that or in his PDBs (which would mean he would have had to
read it ). Supposedly it wasn't long after that Trump and Kushner invested into
Hydroxycholoroquine and their own C-19 test kit (instead of the one produced by the W.H.O.)
both of which turned out to be useless.
> In Feb. of 2020 Kushner and Pompeo sent 18 tons of our PPE to China .... supposedly Trump
and Kushner owed them money .... which left the medical personal and 1st responders on the
east coast w/out the needed PPE so they had to make their own masks, wear garbage bags,
and make their own face shields. Many of them got the disease some died and 1 E.R. doctor
got the disease, became depressed and took her own life.
> Trump pretty much refused to work with the W.H.O. on the international pandemic and
left it up to individual states in America to respond to the disease instead of having a unified
national response and a plan of action.
> Trump continuously lied to America and the world about the disease.
* The White House told the University of Washington & Seattle's health department not to talk about it.
But in good news Joe Biden put together a truly great team to take on this nightmare. Dr. Fauci, Dr.
Walensky, Dr. Mike of the University of Minnesota, David Kessler, and so on are the best of the best.

(113,336 posts)that we were facing a deadly pandemic, and chose to lie, to hide the facts. Claimed he wanted to be upbeat. . .upbeat about an emergency that could/did/will kill millions. He LIED, people died, and continue to do so because of his lies.

have been a straight up scientific, medical, and public health problem became a political/social issue.

(42,770 posts)But that stunning recording of him telling Woodward he purposely kept the fact that the virus was airborne and deadly from the public takes the cake. Negligent homicide of hundreds of thousands of human beings he swore to protect.

(42,564 posts)they had also invoked the Defense Production Act to replenish the supply and take care of all hospitals, health care facilities and essential workers. But that would have taken competent and concerned leadership.
