So he had daily briefings on the virus but they were only held so he can hide the virus from the public.Name calling sort of diminishes the impact of your posts. Just an FYI....So, in other words, you would have done nothing different if Trump told you this is serious, kiss your children and brace yourselves.I will ask again...but using your guidelines...if he nicely and calmly said "this is really bad and the American people need to take this seriously"...what would YOU have done differently? What should HE have done differently?OK. So he lied.They were deficient in the NPI even though they had plenty of warning. Our President lie about the deadly nature of the virus to the citizens.
If he screamed "the sky is falling" what would you have done differently?
Lets see...
he shut down travel from China.....of course only because he is a xenophobe.
He had daily COVID briefings....but, of course, he did not think it was serious...it was only because he wanted to be on TV....egomaniac.
He supported initial closings of major elements of the economy....but, of course, that way he and his rich friends can watch stocks tumble and buy the stock at lower prices
He initiated project warp speed for a vaccine.....but, of course, he did not thin it was serious, so it was for no other reason than to suggest to his rich friends to invest in pharma.
He sent hospital ships to both coasts...but of course, he did not thnk it was necessary....he just wanted to see those ships on the water
He directed companies to change business plans and retrofit factories to manufacture PPE's and venitlators...but of course, he did that only because he wanted to show people he has the power of the pen.
He directed the ACoE to build makeshift hospital centers....but that was only because he liked to play "CiC"
In retrospect....I guess you are right....he should have said...I am doing all I can to assist in this pandemic.....but you all should panic anyway because the sky is falling!
Why should he have screamed? Couldn't he have laid out the facts as he was told by the scientist to the American people? Did he think the country that defeated Fascism in the World with the blood of hundreds of thousands of our citizens, would respond to the virus like frightened little girls? Their biggest goal was not saving people by shutting down but it was to get back open ASAP. Even if it cost 400,000 lives by the end of the year.
Other than "consulting with the professionals" what would Biden have done differently?
The fact that there were daily briefings on the virus telling me to take it seriously was enough for me and my family to take it seriously.
I did not need the leader of the free world to tell me "this is really bad. Really bad. Many of you will die. I am doing all I can (as laid out in my previous post), but Kiss your children goodbye. Run for the hills".
Exactly what good will that have done?
And I am curious......exactly what is President elect Bidens plan other than "listen to the professionals"?
If he had done that many more Trump followers would have, like you, listened to the scientist.
I can't think of a president that would have lied to the people like Trumpybear did. How do his supporters justify that?
So what he did was give us light at the end of the tunnel, make us aware our leaders are on top of it and follow CDC guidelines...
Sort of what a smart leader would do.
But that was not good enough.
It's not about people who had enough sense to not listen to the big old orange turdball.
What he did was to whine about how the Democrats were being mean to him again and making up another Hoax with the new virus.
You might consider that a smart move. I don't.
What he did was have daily press briefings for an hour a day informing us of the situation.
I know....Biden will do better. An hour and 5 minute press briefings a day.
Oh please, I tease the poor poor Trumpybear. He's said a lot worse about way better people than getting called a colorful Turdball.
He used the daily press briefing to attack his opponents not to inform the public about the virus.
I believe Biden will delegate authority better that old Trumpybear.
Got it.
If you say so. I didn't.
