I do not accept 100,000+ terrible, lonely deaths due to coronavirus as acceptable.

The unprepared state of our health care system is inexcusable. It was avoidable.

The lack of preparation for an epidemic was likewise inexcusable and avoidable.

The continuous poor management of the crisis by the Federal government is inexcusable, shameful, and criminal.

The lack of urgency on the part of red state governors is also inexcusable, shameful, and criminal.

There's plenty of blame to go around, but we should never accept that "nobody saw this coming".
