Trump did his job protecting the US from COVID-19. Look at the numbers not the bullshit

[kyzr]

If you add the number of infections for the EU countries and compare that to the US, the EU has about 15x more infections than the US for similar populations. That is because Trump stopped the flights from China as soon as he learned about the potential pandemic. Trump did his job. Now the healthcare professionals in government need to do theirs.

The number of your cases is so low because you haven't tested anywhere near the number of people suspected of having the virus, and because it's just getting started. The USA is where China was at in early December, except in China, the epidemic was more localized. In the USA, where the population is more mobile, the virus has quickly spread throughout the country.

Trump didn't ban travel from China until February 4th, and by then it was too late. The virus was already loose in the USA. But what the ban did do, was to give the appearance of doing something, and then Trump ignored the whole thing for another 3 weeks.

One has to wonder if Trump has deliberately botched getting the tests out because he's trying to keep the numbers low. He sure doesn't want to see those numbers going up and if you can't test, you can't confirm.

1. By the end of this week with the use of automatic testing from Roche and Thermo-Fisher the US will be current with all testing needs. We'll see how much the US was behind in testing, if at all. I couldn't find where there was a significant shortage of tests.

2. The virus spread worldwide from China. The EU has about 15x more cases than the US comparing similar sized populations. That has to be because Trump stopped the flights from China. Possibly combined with more travelers to the EU than to the US before the flight bans. Or, maybe the EU population is more densely populated than the US?

3. Trump has nothing to do with the lab tests, those are managed by the CDC and FDA. You know "career professionals".

4. There is no advantage to hiding the number of infections. This infection will go on for months.

5. These discussions will be resolved when the virus numbers are plotted over the next 2-3 weeks and we see what the actual bell curves look like. Will the curves be flatter and not overwhelm the hospitals, or will the virus explode and create a real healthcare mess? We'll find out which countries did well and which were messes.

6. Just saying that right now the numbers look like Trump did just fine to keep the US from leading the pack in infections. If he finishes the race in first place remains to be seen. Don't look at the number of cases, look at the right column based on population. Or combine the EU country numbers.

Your umpteenth post of the same chart doesn't make it any less invalid. You have no numbers on the number of people tested. But that's been pointed out to you multiple times. Sorry, it won't change the reality that Trump not only fumbled the ball, but ran smack into the center's ass while proclaiming that his execution was beautiful.

Bottom line, weeks of the Donald handling this outbreak like a campaign speech, the chickens have finally come home to roost. He's largely been sidelined..and it's about time.

TDS infection is growing..............the travel ban bought us time.........but you have another disease......only cure I've heard for it is holding you head under water for 6 minutes......Have you tried that yet...........

If you have Trump Defense Syndrome, I hear there are antibiotics for it. Honestly, no one should have to suffer with an orange rash.
Now, back to the topic. The list is BS because it doesn't state the number of people tested. Trump treated it like a campaign slogan for weeks. He looks like the incompetent fool that he is Snagglepuss.

Now that the testing capacity is more than adequate, what's your next baseless TDS complaint?
