"SNIP.....

President Trump has not attended a coronavirus task force meeting in “at least five months,” the Washington Post reports.

“The president is no longer regularly briefed on the pandemic by his team of doctors, and he rarely reads the daily virus reports prepared by Birx… The reports have grown increasingly grim in recent weeks, aides said, but are largely ignored in the West Wing.”

....SNIP"

1. It's not about him so he never cared about it

He was bored with it in February

[liberalla]

15. If he had taken it seriously (try not to laugh) and been successful at containing

the virus, he may have beat Biden/Harris. I think of Jacinda Ardern of NZ, who crushed the virus and won re-election in an astounding landslide.

Back to drump:
I can't believe it was as close as it was, and if his poor handling of the covid crisis hadn't been available as a tool to pound him with... he may have won...

2. but he is in the middle of self-pity snit. It's all about him.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. And I really don't believe he had Covid-19. PR stunt.

5. EXACTLY!!! That's what I think too, a PR stunt!!! And we're not alone thinking this. n/t

6. Of course he got it. He had big gatherings. It was inevitable.

4. He got bored with that toy. Not that he was ever much interested in it.

7. The pandemic? He's ignoring his entire job.

He is binge watching the news, calling and yelling at people and chewing the covers.

[Blue Owl]

8. This is what makes him a terrible public leader

You can't 'pick and choose' your crises when you're running a country, and make them all go away by firing people...

9. Trump will destroy anything he can out of spite.

The USA is way into a danger zone.

10. Dereliction of Duty. nt

[crickets]

11. This is not about ineptitude, it's deliberate abrogation of responsibility.

People are dying by the thousands. The country can't go through two more months of this. trump needs to be removed and charged.

12. here's a plan to lower Covid dramatically

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/08/09/covid-tests-cheap-home-tests-stop-pandemic-harvard-doc-says/3325446001/

I heard the doctor who knows about it on the radio and I looked it up. This was proposed way back in August. Here's a snip from the article:

In recent weeks, Mina, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, has been lobbying heavily for fast, cheap, at-home tests, hoping to get the federal government to fund their development and remove barriers to their approval. He’s spoken with senators, foreign leaders, and company executives, who share this idea, but is increasingly frustrated by the administration’s inaction.

If this Harvard doctor is right and we could have lowered Covid by 90-95%, we would not be in the situation we are in right now and it's all because of poor leadership.
