Anyone who trusts the governments of China, Russia, or North Korea is an idiot and has no business being president of the US.

Also, Trump sold a lot of our PPE stock to China in February when we already had coronavirus cases. He sold more to Thailand, Spain, and Italy when we already had a shortage at HOME. In fact, members of his administration asked Thailand if they can send the PPE back.

He didn't invoke the DPA for production of ventilators and PPE for medical staff until April 2nd. The drastic shortage of ventilators and PPE has costs thousands of lives. And regular citizens are forced to walk around with cloth on their faces. The mass deaths and shutting down the economy is a direct result of gross incompetence by Trump.

Holy shit, again, Trump is a fuck up, but you guys want it both ways. He says left you say right, he says right you say left. You are a puppet.

I don't remember the left condemning the travel ban.  I thought it was too little, too late.  Trump wasn't doing enough IMO. But condemned?

From Feb 4th.

Quote

The Trump administration’s quarantine and travel ban in response to the Wuhan coronavirus could undercut international efforts to fight the outbreak by antagonizing Chinese leaders, as well as stigmatizing people of Asian descent, according to a growing chorus of public health experts and lawmakers.

Quote

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Tuesday that widespread travel bans and restrictions weren’t needed to stop the outbreak and could "have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit."

This is just one article, but the media took the quote from the head of the WHO and ran with it. Maybe condemned isn't the right word, but rather, they used it as another opportunity to paint Trump as a moron and a racist.

Jennifer Rubin represents a type of person that is lowest scum on earth.  Neocon piece of shit.  She’s a creature of pure avarice and greed.  Even the alt right fuckers have an ideology that goes beyond the maintenance of purely distilled capitalism.  Rubin does not. She’s a blood sucking gremlin.  There’s no amount of blood she would be against spilling if it meant the market would go up 1/1000th of a percent.

Great news, this is the drug that many have suspected had the most potential to prove effective.  The only issue with it is that it has to be administered through an IV.  But hey, if you get to that stage whatever works.

I was just about to post this. I'm so happy to see something like this. I'm hopeful. This is the kind of stuff that buying time can hopefully allow for that will make a difference. I know that's a trainwreck of a sentence, but I'm not changing it.

I just hope they do not go full retard and use placebo as a control group. It is outdated and life threatening procedures for testing that is unnecessary. Patients cannot fake a 104 fever or severe lung congestion, just as they cannot fake recovery. The proof is in the success rate, not if the success rate is greater than injecting a patient with simple saline. There is enough evidence that doing nothing is fatal.

Fauci's wife seemed to support people dying for economical reasons. Of course, this was published in support of Obamacare.
