Responsibility for tests not working falls on CDCUS death rate is about 1/2-1/3 of those first world countries with govt run healthcare.The number one country for Covid-19 Deaths in the world is run by a Republican.The top 6 Chinese Virus death states are all run by Dimwingers.Might want to look at the governors of those states that have the high death rate and see what they were doing.Oh you really shouldn't just get all of your information from Trump and Fox News.Outside of a few hotspots in Blue States handled by democrat governors, this nation did quite well.thats called diplomacy ! Trump was trying to get better trade deals for Americas people ! if you think Trump isnt tougher on china than any democrat then you must believe the tariffs on chinese imports and the sanctions on chinese companies are something your comrades enjoy !And again- it is not the 'left' who claims friendship with dictators- that again would be your Dear LeaderIt's more that they are doing the opposite of what Trump does.
Nancy used to have a fire under her about China now she doesn't.
Could it be because their candidate is in bed with China? Maybe
He isn't in bed with China......
China owns him .... completely........ his son put his dad on the hook to the Chinese....and other foreign governments because they aren't as competent in their evil as the clinton's are....

please explain how the most rapid mobilization of the government and the private sector [emphasis on the private sector] in 75 yrs to fight this virus is a failure ..over 100 countries are calling for investigations into china over the virus !Only a true Trumpkin would believe that the coronavirus came from MarsOh so it came from Mars then.............OK........we go and declare War on ET then...............freaking alien asshole.Let’s make this clear.
China is the creator of the virus, not Trump.
If you blame Trump over China, you need to swim in a lake.
China no more created this virus than the United States created measles- based upon the facts we know.
As I said before- there is plenty to blame China for- but there is no evidence that China created this virus- anymore than there is evidence for the Chinese claim that the United States created this virus. China screwed up its handling of this disease- and for that China deserves blame- but-
If you blame only China for what has happened in the United States- and ignore Trump's failures in this crisis- well you are just another Trumpkin- always looking to blame someone else for Trump's failure.

Fine with me. I have no problem at all with investigating China- and finding out what China did or did not do.

Oh do I really need to spell it out for you- well you Trumpkins do have a problem with facts
Lets review the facts:
The United States leads the world in both coronavirus cases and coronavirus deaths- over 80,000 Americans have died from coronavirus during Trump's watch.
Our deaths per 100K/population are 28.10- which puts us ahead of the UK and France- but far behind Canada with 16.27, Germany with 9.74 and Poland with 2.5 and South Korea- which had its first case the same day as the United States- with an astonishingly low .51.
What explanation do you have for why the United States so many more deaths per capita than Germany and South Korea- who had just as much warning as the United States?
If having 3 times more Americans die than Germans is not considered a failure of leadership what is? Football coaches have been replaced for doing better than that.
I think you confuse what Trump said- with what he failed to do.
A few more points:
Under Trump:
The pandemic response team was disbanded
The pandemic response plan was ignored
The United States lagged far behind South Korea and Germany in sending out tests- and when it did send out the first tests- 3 weeks after Germany and South Korea- they were defective.
The United States- when a U.S. manufacturer offered to ramp up production of American made masks- repeatedly- in January- but the Trump administration turned them down.
Trump has repeatedly downplayed the significanceThe US was offered millions of masks in January. The Trump administration turned the offer down.
A Texas medical supply company told the federal government it could make 1.7 million N95 masks for the US per week — but no order came.www.vox.com
Trump repeatedly downplayed the significance of the coronavirus- including this gem from February:
“And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
As of today- there are now 1,000,000 times more cases than when Trump told Americans it would be down to zero within a couple of days.

I don't think that it was Trump who told those states to put infected patients in with the nursing homes.
If he did could you please link that for all of us.
Should be blaming China and WHO for all the misinformation regarding the severity of this virus.
But, I see your not, you're blaming Trump, which leads me to believe it's just all political
with you and your ilk trying to bring down a duly elected president..
It's obvious that you're all butt hurt, and have been for the last three years.
Not sure how you consider 80,000 dead Americans doing 'quite well'.
How is China to blame for the fact that the United States has far, far more deaths per capita than South Korea or Germany?
I have no problem with blaming China for its failures- again- I can't find any 'liberal' who defends China- only Trump- but we won't be voting November on how China handled the pandemic that has killed over 80,000 Americans- we will be voting on whether Trump did a good job.
NY, Ma, NJ, Mi. I do see a trend here.
Oops!
I don't support Trump, but I don't blame Trump for anything over health care because that is not the job of a president in the US.
But in general, countries with socialized medicine did best.
The best example is Germany, which had hardly any deaths.
And they attribute that to the efficiency of their socialized medicine with better access and more invested.
Responsibility for ordering the mass production of tests lies with either Homeland Security or Pandemic Response Team.
Responsibility for maintaining the stockpile of PPEs lies with the Office of Management of the Strategic National Stock Pile.
Responsibility for not purchasing reagents for processing test kits lies with the CDC
Responsibility for not purchasing other supplies and equipment before they are back ordered lies with the Pandemic Response Team
Responsibility of Creation of the Guidelines for the states lies with the Pandemic Response Team
Responsibility of funding America's response to the pandemic lies with Congress.
Ect, Ect,
However, the overall Responsibility for American's Response to the Pandemic lies with the President. The president or his staff must coordinate and manage all activities of all government agencies and work with the states on setting division of responsibilities. Ever agency involved reports to the president, every director of the agencies were appointed by the president and serve at his please, and lastly the president has broad powers when it comes to controlling agencies. An order from the president carries weight of the law.
Harry Truman hit nail on the head when he said the Buck stops Here. The voters don't care which of the president's men or agencies fucked up because their name is not ballot.
