No, but Bugen wants to blame Trump for it reaching the US. This would have played out the same regardless of who was in office.
The fake news media is trying to give me the virus says Trump
- Thread starter Cuddles
- Start date
Because preemptive action did not help in South Korea
Nextstain, mapping the virus ancestry showed this was in the US probably sometime in December, before we completely understood the seriousness of the virus. Trump shut down traffic between the US and China but the cat was out of the bag by that time and no one knew it at the time.
Our problems derive from lack of early testing, but again the time to start testing and contain was late December early January if we were to put up an effective barrier.
It’s here, is it as deadly as some fear? I hope not and hope we get past this. But the only country to date that has success in stopping it is China and they basically quarantined their entire population. Italy is attempting such measures now.
I can’t see us doing that here, maybe not yet, but it might be coming if the virus starts wreaking havoc.
Do you know what the prior admin set up to hand a reoccurance of a H1N1 problem?
No, of course you don't. But it was operating in China before it was defunded as an "Obama program". All this was to Trump was payback, legacy destruction.
Well, I think in this case Trump deserves blame and all who support him. He was obviously incapable and we were right.
There is another significant difference in the US that you don't see in China or Europe, and that is the nature of how our population is dispersed. Suburb and rural neighborhoods don't interact like cities do and a good portion of our population lives in such a situation. Yes, there are rural areas of Italy and China, but proportionally, they tend to be much more centralized and therefore, a virus has a target rich environment.
1st cases reported at the same time in S. Korea and US. You think it wasn't in much closer s. Korea 1st?
Just going by Nextstrain, I think it was here first and unreported. We didn’t know to look for it.
When testing in earnest gets going on here, i think we’ll find a lot more cases than what’s reported now.
You probably mixed up the Purell and the Jergens Trump left you.
Well now, here is the clear leadership only a businessman can provide.
