USA must look to be the most inept and clumsy of any world power at this moment.

Cutting CDC funding, eliminating Pandemic Task Force, cutting off Affordable Care Act, dereliction of responsibility federally, blaming CDC and other countries, withholding PPE and forcing state and local governments and hospitals to fend for themselves. What a national disgrace. Get them the fuck out of there. They are useless and more importantly, detrimental to our survival.

Except Germany, if you call them a world power. So if we are inept and clumsy I guess everyone else is worse. Unless you have a different standard. Blaming other countries? China says the U.S. military snuck the virus into Wuhan. Do you buy that?

I wonder if third world countries will be kind and accept economic, political and medical refugees from a fourth world country?

After all, the US was kind to the third raters, long ago, when they were a first world country! (Or were they?)

that electing a bumbling crowd of self centered greedy ego trippers into high office wouldn't have some very serious repercussions later on?

Sad if you thought that!
