    Default "U.S. wasted months before preparing for virus pandemic"

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — After the first alarms sounded in early January that an outbreak of a novel coronavirus in China might ignite a global pandemic, the Trump administration squandered nearly two months that could have been used to bolster the federal stockpile of critically needed medical supplies and equipment."

    "A review of federal purchasing contracts by The Associated Press shows federal agencies largely waited until mid-March to begin placing bulk orders of N95 respirator masks, mechanical ventilators and other equipment needed by front-line health care workers."

    "By that time, hospitals in several states were treating thousands of infected patients without adequate equipment and were pleading for shipments from the Strategic National Stockpile."

    And before the predictable Trump deflection arises, "states do not have the purchasing power of the federal government. They do not have the ability to run a deficit like the federal government. They do not have the logistical power of the federal government"

    Trump & Co. were literally saying in February this thing was pretty much contained and we would soon be down to zero cases


    So it is no wonder they did not prepare or adequately assess the risk

    Oh, that won't matter much, by then Trump will be blaming the Governors, Biden, the medical community, Pelosi, private suppliers, Mayors, Obama, the media, Democrats, and just about anyone else he can relevant or not and the lemmings will believe it

    ON JAN, 31, 2019, WHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS DECLARING A TRAVEL BAN ON ALL CHINESE-ORIGIN TRAVELS, FOR WHICH THE FAKE NEWS/LYING LEFT/TREASON-O-CRATS CALLED HIM A "RACIST", AND A "XENOPHOBE",THE STALIN-O-CRATS WERE BUSY DECRYING THEIR OWN SHAM "IMPEACHMENT", DECLARING THAT THE TESTIMONY OF SEVENTEEN WITNESS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY CLAIMED WAS ROCK SOLID, SUDDENLY BECAME "NO WITNESSES"...YEAH I REMEMBER THAT.






    AND WHAT WERE THE TREASON-O-CRATS DOING ABOUT HELPING CONTAIN THE VIRUS FIVE DAYS LATER, WHEN THE PRESIDENT MENTIONED the EFFORTS TO CONTAIN IT, IN HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS? WHAT WERE THE CORON-A-CRATS DOING THEN???

    OH YEAH...I REMEMBER THAT, TOO!!.








    WHILE THE PRRESIDENT WAS BUSY CONFRONTING THE SOON-TO-BE-PANDEMIC THAT THE CHINESE and WHO (AKA:"THE UN) WERE LYING ABOUT TO DOWNPLAY AND COVER UP...THE TREASON-O-CRATS WERE BUSY ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT.




    GREAT LEADERSHIP, FUCKFACES....
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..
