With 1 Million Test Kits This Could Have All Been Avoided

[DanieRains]

Testing all travelers from bad areas and REAL self quarantining them till we got results.

Little / no community spread.

Not rocket science.

It's what Taiwan did I heard.

Don't ever forget this didn't have to happen.

1. Trump wasted 8-10 weeks

that's a huge amount of time in a pandemic

[elleng]

4. Huge

17. +1. His dereliction of duty is amply documented

[Hoyt]

2. Not sure all would have been avoided, but it would definitely have helped.

[elleng]

3. Properly distributed, maybe;

it's a big country.

5. I've been talking to someone in Singapore.

I told him I’d rather be there as the government there seems to have it together. He said they’d learned some lessons from SARS.

6. They have a city/state so they have more control

over their population. It comes in handy during times like this, other times, well......

[Phoenix61]

10. Yes, it is a city/state/nation but it is also a

democracy. They haven’t done anything we couldn’t have done, namely testing on a massive scale.

[BigmanPigman]

15. Their leaders aren't the GOP...makes all the difference in the world.

Our leaders are greedy sadists.

[Phoenix61]

16. Very, very true. They have a really good

health care system. Great public transport and parks. I was suppose to be there and Bali for the next month.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Check these out...really good.

19. It cracks me up when they say it's hot and

and humid. I grew up in Gainesville, FL, home of The Swamp and live on the Fl Gulf Coast. It was cooler and dryer in Singapore than it was at home.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I agree.

Whenever I would visit my grandmom in Ocala I would stick to the sheets, even in winter it was humid as Hell.

12. We did too and it was in the Pandemic Response Team

[magicarpet]

7. Population tested to find carriers of COVID -19

** Quarantine carriers immediately until virus runs its course.

** Avert having to lock down the whole country and totally trashing the economy.

trDumpie was too busy calling it a hoax on Hannity and at his Nazi Political Rallies

Never would have happened if trDumpie left the Obama special international infectious disease and pandemic team in place, rather than have John Bolton closes the office down and fire everyone with no replacements. The Rand Corporation warned back in 2016 a pandemic likely coming from China could destroy our economy and cause a lot of American deaths. Yet trDumpie ignored those warnings.

[Phoenix61]

11. And the CDC person embedded in China.

The would have given the warning and the pandemic response team would have acted. Hell, it might not have even gotten out of Wuhan.

13. +1,

[Brainfodder]

8. Profit over people, haven't forgotten!

[Initech]

9. I've been saying this since it started!

This didn't have to happen. It's Trump's grotesque level of incompetence and narcissism that brought us here and to the brink. And it seems like he doesn't give a fuck.

14. K&R, Obama admin had 1 mil tested for swine flu in less than a month!!!
