We did a great job on CoronaVirus, including the very early ban on China, Ventilator production, and Testing, which is by far the most, and best, in the World. We saved millions of U.S. lives.! Yet the Fake News refuses to acknowledge this in a positive way. But they do give....Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is with us in all ways, a very high 72% Approval Rating. So, if he is in charge along with V.P. etc., and with us doing all of these really good things, why doesnt the Lamestream Media treat us as they should? Answer: Because they are Fake News!

If Dr. Fauci is in charge, Sir, then why aren't you taking his advice and doing what he says?

I would hate to think what a bad job would look like.

(9,895 posts)A "bad" job was the initial projections if NOTHING was done in January when the virus seemed likely to infect damn new everyone in short order and produce a fatality rate of >1% (or some 3.3-3.8 Million or more US dead).
That would have also resulted in a complete collapse of the US healthcare system, and untold millions of more deaths due to hospitals being over run or shut down and people being cut down by appendicitis, broken limbs that ended up infected for lack of a hospital to go to and much much more...essentially the worst parts of "The Stand" before Randall Flagg (for Stephen King fans)...
Trump sees the worst case as a continuation of his initial response (nothing, lying, downplaying, calling it a hoax, etc.) and the fact that he was FORCED to change and then he still tries to pretend like he was so forward thinking with the China travel restrictions, etc.
The bottom line is South Korea and the USA has their first cases on the same day...South Korea trails the USA in fatalities by over 110,000 so far...helluva job there Trumpy...

Plug it with an Adderall pacifier or something. Just shut up and stop the stochastic genocide.

(65,148 posts)It did nothing to contain the virus, as he was calling it a hoax for well over a month and allowing community spread. He did not test and continues to downplay testing.
