I still want an answer to this:

Otherwise I think saying this should be punishable by live burial

Obviously cuomo did such a fantastic job running New York at the time that Trump should’ve done whatever he said: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-new-yorks-coronavirus-response-made-the-pandemic-worse-11591908426

It kills me that cuomo and other blue state governors managed to shift the blame for their retarded fuckery onto Donald Trump. And now they’ll be rewarded with enormous federal bailouts partially funded by Florida and Texas.

Or that Americans’ pre-existing obesity/diabetes might be relevant. skinny counties (even dirt poor with barely any healthcare in Africa) have raped the fat decadent west on covid death rates because...corona targets old feeble fats no matter what you do.

Trump is about to lose re-election because the media is corrupt, voters are literally too fucking dumb to know any better and Trump is horrible at messaging. Wow.

they then use their professional expertise to figure out exactly when the person was infected and then they figure out every person whom might have been exposed.

everyone will then go into guarded quarantine

if we do this diligently, we can ultimately completely eradicate covid 19.

everyone should still wear masks, though

Donald Trump would have left us, 600 soldiers from Ohio, in the middle east for as long as it would have taken for him to be "comfortable" that coronavirus would not kill him.

where is national test and trace

why did donald try to stop more testing (hint it's an absurd herd immunity pipedream)

Chinese style national quarantine is unworkable in any western democracy. I would personally force you spend your remaining life in a xinjiang uyghur camp if I could.

Walk me through how much “test and trace” helped enlightened europe avoid this result:

Are you actually American? Do you know how the federal system works? It’d be tough for a President to set a massive amount of federal tax dollars on fire in such a boondoggle

Taiwan (the country I assume you have in mind) is a closed island for whom SARS-like coronaviruses aren’t actually novel. It also accepted 24/7 government surveillance to address a virus that kills healthy people at a lower rate than influenza. I feel like reasonable people can disagree about this trade off

Here’s the timeline:

In 2018, he let the pandemic-preparedness office in the National Security Council simply dissolve, and followed up with budget cuts to HHS and CDC this year. That team’s job was to follow a pandemic playbook written after global leaders fumbled their response to Ebola in 2014. Trump was briefed on the playbook’s existence in his first year - had he listened, the government would’ve started getting equipment to doctors two months ago.

The initial outbreak of the coronavirus began in Wuhan, China, in December, 2019.

By mid-January, 2020, the White House had intelligence reports that warned of a likely pandemic.

On January 18th, HHS Secretary Azar spoke with Trump to emphasize the threat of the virus just as US Diplomats were being evacuated from Wuhan.

Two days later, the virus was confirmed in both the US and South Korea.

That week, South Korean officials immediately drafted medical companies to develop test kits for mass production. The WHO declared a global health emergency. But Trump … did nothing.

As Hubei Province went on lockdown, Trump, who loves any excuse to enact a racist travel ban, barred entry of any foreigners coming from China (it was hardly proactive) but took no additional steps to prepare for infection in the United States.

He said, “We pretty much shut it down, coming in from China,”

He didn’t ramp up production of test kits so we could begin isolating the virus.

By February, the US had 14 confirmed cases but the CDC test kits proved faulty; there weren’t enough of them, and they were restricted to only people showing symptoms. The US pandemic response was already failing.

Trump then began actively downplaying the crisis and baselessly predicting it would go away when the weather got warmer.

Trump decided there was nothing to see here, and on February 24th, took time out of his day to remind us that the stock markets were soaring.

A day later, CDC officials sounded the alarm that daily life could be severely disrupted. The window to get ahead of the virus by testing and containment was closing.

Trump’s next move: He compared Coronavirus to the seasonal flu…and called the emerging crisis a hoax by the Democrats.

With 100 cases in the US, Trump declined to call for a national emergency.

Meanwhile, South Korea was now on its way to testing a quarter million people, while the US was testing 40 times slower.

When a cruise ship containing Americans with coronavirus floated toward San Francisco, Trump said he didn’t want people coming off the ship to be tested because they’d make the numbers look bad.

It wasn’t until the stock market reacted to the growing crisis and took a nosedive that Trump finally declared a national emergency.

By this time, South Korea had been using an app for over a month that pulled government data to track cases and alert users to stay away from infected areas.

Over the next weeks, as the virus began its exponential spread across the US, and Governors declared states of emergency, closing schools and workplaces and stopping the American economy in its tracks – Trump passed on every opportunity to get ahead of this crisis.

Trump’s priority was never public health. It was about making the virus seem like less of a nuisance so that the “numbers” would “look good” for his reelection.

Only when the stock market crashed did Trump finally begin to pay attention…and mostly to bailing out corporations in the form of a massive $500 billion slush fund, rather than to helping people. And then, with much of America finally and belatedly in lockdown, he said at a Fox News town hall that he would “love” to have the country “opened up, and just raring to go” by Easter.

In March he didn’t want to be held responsible for it.

He told governors they were responsible for getting ventilators and protective equipment – setting off bidding wars, state against state, city against city.

He peddled an unproven remedy, hydroxychloroquine, which the FDA warned against.

There was no national response. No national standards. Governors and mayors haphazardly closed businesses and schools.

In April he suggested more quack remedies.

He pushed governors to reopen states earlier than the Centers for Disease Control thought wise.The CDC warned him such reopenings could mean a “significant risk of resurgence of the virus.”

In May he continued to minimize the threat.

He blamed the increasing number of cases on excessive testing.

In June he suggested slowing the testing down.

In July he muzzled CDC experts. The Trump administration directed hospitals to stop reporting key coronavirus data to the nonpartisan CDC, and instead report it to HHS, which falls under the supervision of the administration.

He demanded schools ignore CDC guidelines, and plan to fully reopen in the Fall – even threatening to cut off funding if schools refused.

His political appointees pressured the CDC to change warnings and scientific conclusions they didn’t like.

He lied about how well America was doing relative to the rest of the world.

When extra unemployment benefits ended July 31, he didn’t push to extend them.

In August he peddled hydroxychloroquine again, even after the FDA revoked its emergency authorization in June.

He blamed the “deep state” for making it difficult to test vaccines.

He suggested the FDA was trying to deliberately delay treatments until after Election Day.

In September he claimed a vaccine could be available before the election.

He continued holding campaign rallies where many went without masks.

He blamed the mounting number of COVID deaths on “blue states.”

His lackeys pressured the CDC to remove language on its website confirming that airborne droplets could transmit the virus, before being forced to reverse the change.

At the first presidential debate, he mocked Joe Biden for wearing a mask.

He didn’t want his White House staff to wear masks. He criticized a White House reporter for wearing a mask. He held White House events where people didn’t wear masks or maintain social distancing.

In October the White House itself became a hotspot for the disease.

Trump himself tested positive for coronavirus and was airlifted to Walter Reed Medical Center for emergency treatment.

When he announced he’d be discharged, he told the American people: “Don’t be afraid of COVID.” He then tweeted COVID is “far less lethal” than the flu. Both Facebook and Twitter flagged this as misinformation.

Despite all the infections, the White House did no contact tracing, and declined the help of the CDC to do so.

And the White House still did not require masks because, according to the Deputy Press Secretary, “everyone needs to take personal responsibility.”

Now 225,000 Americans are dead.

America has suffered the worst rate of coronavirus deaths among all advanced countries – a death toll equal to 9/11 every three days. And, as a recent Cornell study confirmed, Trump’s blatant disinformation has been the largest driver of COVID misinformation in the world.

This is not leadership. It is pure, malicious incompetence and it’s killing Americans.

No ban on flights from elsewhere like Europe, as if it can only be transmitted directly from Chinese nationals. The strain that ravaged ny/NJ early was the euro strain
