Truth hurts eh?You have some imagination. I guess you will say anything to defend failure.Stupid to blame mayors or governors for an international problem.BULLSHIT, MARTY. look friend, I've taken up for you and your non-mainstream takes on various issues, but you are an asshole on this. A hundred thousand have died as a direct result of Trump and the fed govt not having testing (to0 many cases!!) and contact tracing. States don't have the means, and it is the fed govts job to deal with multi-state disasters. The fat fuck can raid other programs for wall money when this is actually a very real national disaster.It’s an international problem. Most the blame belongs at the top.We have poor leadership. We shouldn’t ever be one of the worst. Thanks Trump!FU Marty. NZ has stadiums open. Trump closed it down and then opened it up and now blames Governors, and that's why he sucks worse than his whores in the polls.We know Trump says “I don't take responsibility at all,” for most of the things a President is responsible for, but I don’t know how he ducks responsibility for the resurgence in US C19 cases in a majority of states and mostly in Red States.
Trump is in a death spiral in the polls for the past few weeks, but I’m thinking he has seen nothing yet if the current spikes in virus infections bring about devastating news for sports fans that there won’t be any baseball, basketball or football pro or college for another year.,
What do you think? Will this bad news of no sports going into November finish off Trump and Republicans and add another ten points behind Biden and Democrats in the polls?
Trump doesn't control the States if they decide to allow sporting, nor does he decide which leagues will open, and how they will do it.
All he could do is shut down air travel entirely, and even then they could still drive to the sports locations, unless you are saying he has the power to ban interstate travel.
So Cuomo and DiBlasio are blameless?
Most of the actual actions that had to be taken happen at the State/local level in our system of government.
What could Trump have specifically done to prevent this?
Oh wait he tried to shut down travel from China and your side bitched about it.
States have Department's of Health, which are the local organization mandated to handle these things. FEMA and the CDC are just advisory organizations and planning organizations, with some research added.
Part of the problem with the testing was existing regulations that had to be bypassed. These regulations were around well before Trump came into office.
Why do you think States went to lockdowns? At that point contact tracing was moot, and even if they had tests it was to far gone to contain. Also, that was when we were worried about a 3%-4% mortality (and being off by a factor of 2 on the high side) instead of the more than likely less than 1% overall mortality we will see at the end of all this.
I only call out DiBlasio and Cuomo as defenses to your attacks on Trump. Both were wrong, but you don't see me calling for their heads or using their fuckups for political fodder.
It's actually a local problem, with a lot of localities dealing with it. Disease spreads locally, and has to be controlled locally.
States and their home rule subdivisions have the power and authority to deal with things like epidemics, the most the feds can do is support and control international access.
I have how things actually work on my side, you have no response besides ignoring the basic facts of how our system functions.10 Ways Trump And Obama Handled Pandemics Differently
10 Ways Trump And Obama Handled Pandemics Differently. Obama reacted quickly and accepted advice from medical experts during the swine flu pandemic. Trump was unprepared for COVID-19 and even cut off ties with the World Health Organization.www.worldatlas.com
