What pandemic response team?

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyes: “For the moment we are not witnessing the uncontained global spread of this virus and we are not witnessing large-scale deaths... [countries should be] doing everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic.”

And you know who will be worse hit... old people, those with underlying health conditions and those with limited access to robust healthcare... Trump and the idiots that surround him have not one clue how to handle this if it becomes a pandemic. Do you think they will think he is the next best thing to the second coming when they lie struggling for breath in shitty isolation? They have systematically abolished the support systems that everyone would expect during a crisis... and people only notice this kind of shit when it is suddenly needed. Now I truly hope that the virus does not take hold anywhere in America, of course I do, but if it does... yelp.

1. Trump doesn't get sick so why would we need a pandemic response team?

If it doesn't effect him who cares?

2. The economic reaction to the pandemic may well affect traitortrump

6. The way he socializes with God knows who, behind the scenes

it will not surprise me one bit if he eventually doesn't end up with this.

4. I listened to a health expert on cable news last night

and he said that WHO should be calling this a pandemic right now.

7. Yes they should, IMO they are doing everything they can to

avoid the word pandemic, I truly believe they think the word alone will cause panic and they are doing whatever they can to avoid that.

5. Trump has been busy

cutting all sorts of programs that benefit us and giving the money to the greedy 1%. Maybe and I do mean maybe someday his brain dead supporters will wake up to that fact. I doubt they ever will but one can hope.

9. HEY! It's part of the repugs voter suppression programs. With voting underway ANYTHING that keeps a

...potential poor uninsured Democratic voters away from the polls is a program success.

I know that is a possibility because I actually mulled it over in my mind before going to the polls on 02/18/2020.

Reason won out and I went out and voted. But we live in a small community of about 8000 residence. With few, if any international travelers.
