COVID-19

[UsualName]

There is an argument that our infection rates are higher than other countries is because we are doing more tests.

1. We are not doing more tests per capita

2. We are still only testing the symptomatic. Other countries like Germany and South Korea are catching significant numbers of asymptotics

3. We have left the chart despite having an extra week or two more than Europe

rapid testing reveal by Chump/FDA right now. This is pretty big....being able to be tested at work would be good

I think you’ll find I’ve tried to stay out of rhe political fray, pointing blame and concentrated on beneficial ways to protect ourselves, immune boosters, potential treatments etc. most you’ll find in the heath and fitness forums.

What I’ve spoken out against is this continuous blame Trump for everything. Sorry, Coronavirus is not Trump’s fault and the adnausium attacks do absolutely nothing to help the situation.

Sorry, but no. I could understand if we were not on course to have the worst outbreak on the planet but we are and Trumps inaction and downplaying the severity and seriousness of the problem is a major factor in degree of severity.

So you are not going to openly support Trump’s response to Covid but disparage anyone who rightly points out the obvious failures.

Not sure whether when you say "anyone" you are referring to yourself or Sleepy Joe.

I guess it really doesn't matter. You are both concerned about the epidemic for the same reason.

I disagree, just because he didn’t hit the public panic button, zigged when you though they should have zagged, doesn’t mean they were not taking steps.

You don’t yell the proverbial “fire” in a movie theater.

Not yelling fire and claiming Covid wasn’t more dangerous than flu are two different things. Trump was derelict and dismissive and not led by the science. He sat on his hands because he thought more positive tests would hurt his re-election chances.

Zigging and zagging isn’t the problem. Faucci said openly we did not have enough tests to be prepared and Birx admitted yesterday we did not act soon enough to contain the virus in a meaningful way. That’s simple preparation stuff. We never even gave ourselves a fighting chance. The right wing media has a lot to do with the delays, too.

How would rate the Trump administration’s response to Covid?

Simple question.

Above what other proposed leaders could be or are doing.
