The human race is the feces on the anus of this planet.
It wipes it off with corona.

It would have to do better than this. This is only 2 or 3% of the tissue needed for such wiping.

Hello again
Perhaps, we may be able to get back to banter and less accusatory commentary. IMHO, there is plenty of blame to cover all political ideologies. Hopefully, I'd like to see the sober and just opinions of, say, Finnbow and Merrylander contributing their positions.

But they are spending a lot of money and they are working very hard, and we’re going to be helping that industry,” the president said at the White House during a sitdown with top health insurance company execs.""

The owners of said ship ain't from Panama.

Donny’s virus list of shame, from another forum
1.. Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.
2.. In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.
3.. In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job.. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.
4.. In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.
5.. In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.
6.. Trump declined to use the World Health Organization’s test like other nations.. Back in January, over a month before the first Co-vid19 case in the U.S., the Chinese posted a new mysterious virus and within a week, Berlin virologists had produced the first diagnostic test.. By the end of February, the WHO had shipped out tests to 60 countries.. Oh, but not our government.. We declined the test even as a temporary bridge until the CDC could create its own test.. The question is why?. We don’t know but what to look for is which pharmaceutical company eventually manufactures the test and who owns the stock.. Keep tuned.
7.. Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that responds to public health threats.
8.. Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.
9.. Trump has on multiple occasions sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word HOAX at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus.
10.. Trump pretended the virus had been contained.
11.. Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers in America.
The big question is why was the test that the World Health Organization made available to other nations, declined here in America? We are still flying blind relative to testing because of this decision and numbers of cases are still severely under reported.

WHO also made poor judgements. So what, they've made them before. Unfortunately, this is a big one. Trump is an an asshole, but most politicians are. What would you have done, say, at the end of January. At the beginning, in early November, if we knew, it would have helped. The Chinese government knew, but decided not to inform the world.

This government is even more guilty of withholding important information that would save life's. Passing the buck to China is only a distraction from the inadequate incompetents leading our response.
Dude if close to a month ago I knew to do something, make plans take precautions.
Then did!
Just a common guy with no training, just a average citizen. Then is it wrong to expect, demand more from the leader of this country?
One only need to remember just how well this Trump guy handled and lied about Puerto Rico! Still is handling our citizens there shamefully to this day.
