Is The Trump Administration Ready For A Second Wave Of Covid-19?.......

Trump has blamed the Obama Administration for not having the PPE needed to fight the first wave of Covid-19. Trump's Administration was in full force for 3 years at the initiation of the virus in the U.S. and still blamed the lack of supplies (i.e., ventilators, masks, gloves, swabs, tests, PPE, etc) on Obama.

Well - 112,000+ Americans have died from Covid-19 to date. Trump has minimized the talk of Covid by silencing the Task Force and is promoting re-opening the country.

Already we're seeing a rise in positive Covid cases in States that pushed into re-opening before meeting all the criteria for re-opening. Shortly we should be seeing both hospitalizations and deaths start climbing as well.

The question now is - seeing that the Trump Administration has now had months to prepare for a second wave of Covid to terrorize the country - Is the Trump Administration ready (have all the necessary supplies available) to fight a second wave?

He can't blame - not being prepared anymore on the Obama Administration. The responsibility falls entirely on his administration now.
