Fauci should not be allowed to muse on hindsight for the press. Of course if we had started mitigation sooner it would be less deadly.
if Whathisnutz was running everything we would have been ready for Pearl Harbor.

There is ONE fucking person that gets up there and tries to tell the truth while walking on egg shells in front of the world's #1 dipshit and you guys want him fired. Unbelievable.

If I was running things we would have kept PREDICT in place, we would still have the Pandemic Response Team in place, and I would have declared a national emergency when the first cases hit this country. Then, I would have turned it over to the experts like Fauci.

He was asked a question and he answered it!


?I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives,?*he said on ?State of the Union? on CNN. ?Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you?re right. Obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down.?

Cricket: To use your Pearl Harbor analogy, imagine if we had a system in place to detect foreign aircraft on their way to attack us but the President cut the program in 1940. In 1939, that same President fired the people that would help our country if we were ever attacked. In his 3 years prior to the attack, he failed to replenish the supplies needed in case we ever got attacked. Then, after we got attacked, he called it a hoax. 70 days later, he declared war.

Would that make the President look competent or incompetent?

Some business leaders had no idea they were included until they heard that their names had been read in the Rose Garden:lol::lol::lol:eek:n Tuesday night by President Donald Trump. Some of those who had agreed to help said they received little information on what, exactly, they were signing up for.:lol::lol::lol: And others who were willing to connect with the White House could not participate in hastily organized conference calls Wednesday because of scheduling conflicts and technical difficulties.:lol::lol::lol:

Sadly, it was just a matter of time. I predict that the southern Republican-led states will soon be ravaged - especially if they go ahead with the "It's OK to die for the economy, let them back to work" mantra.

Peace! :)

The thing China and Trump have in common?

Neither one will be responsible for getting us out of this mess.


and Trump is responsible for the delay in a proper response at the onset.

Fact........not fiction


Jan. 24

In a tweet, Trump praised China for its efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"

Jan. 29

Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, said, "The whole world needs to be on alert now. The whole world needs to take action and be ready for any cases that come from the epicenter or other epicenter that becomes established."

Jan. 30


At a campaign rally in Iowa, Trump talked about the U.S. partnership with China to control the disease. "We only have five people. Hopefully, everything's going to be great. They have somewhat of a problem, but hopefully, it's all going to be great. But we're working with China, just so you know, and other countries very, very closely. So it doesn't get out of hand."


Tedros announced that the outbreak had become a "public health emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of novel coronavirus."


Feb. 10

At a campaign rally in Manchester, N.H., Trump said: "Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that's true. But we're doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and they're working very, very hard. And I think it's going to all work out fine."

Feb. 11


At a WHO briefing, Tedros urged world leaders to give priority to containing the virus: "To be honest, a virus is more powerful in creating political, economic and social upheaval than any terrorist attack. A virus can have more powerful consequences than any terrorist action, and that's true. If the world doesn't want to wake up and consider this enemy virus as Public Enemy Number 1, I don't think we will learn our lessons."


Feb. 13

In an interview with Geraldo Rivera, Trump characterized the threat of the virus in the U.S. by saying: "In our country, we only have, basically, 12 cases, and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered. So it's actually less."


Feb. 24


In a tweet, Trump wrote, "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"
Feb. 26


In a news conference, Trump said: "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."


Feb. 28

The WHO raises the global risk of the coronavirus from "high" to "very high."


March 5


In a WHO briefing, Tedros praised China and the U.S. for taking "the right approach." He said: "After our visit to Beijing and seeing China's approach, and President Xi leading that, and also in the U.S., President Trump himself, and also for regular coordination, designating the vice president. These are the approaches we're saying are the right ones, and these are the approaches we're saying are going to mobilize the whole government."


In a Fox News town hall, Trump said, "It's going to all work out. Everybody has to be calm. It's all going to work out."


March 10


In a meeting with Republican senators at the U.S. Capitol, Trump said, "This was unexpected. ... And it hit the world. And we're prepared, and we're doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."

March 11


Trump said in an Oval Office address: "The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low."


Tedros said the WHO had "made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic."

"You cannot fight a fire blindfolded. And we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't know who is infected," Tedros said at a briefing in Geneva. He added, "We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test. Test every suspected case."


At a press briefing, Trump issued orders to control the spread of the virus in the U.S.: "My administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible. Avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people. Avoid discretionary travel. And avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants and public food courts. If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus. And we're going to have a big celebration all together. With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly."


March 17


Trump told reporters: "This is a pandemic. ... I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

Feb. 13


In an interview with Geraldo Rivera, Trump characterized the threat of the virus in the U.S. by saying: "In our country, we only have, basically, 12 cases, and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered. So it's actually less."


April 7

Trump criticized the WHO for mishandling the pandemic. "The WHO really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China-centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately, I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?"

April 8

"Please don't politicize this virus," Tedros said in a briefing in Geneva after he was asked about Trump's remarks the day before. He later urged political leaders to "please quarantine politicizing COVID."

April 14

"Today I am instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus," Trump said in a briefing at the White House.

Feb. 24


In a tweet, Trump wrote, "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"




April 15


"We regret the decision of the president of the United States to order a halt in funding to the World Health Organization," said Tedros at a news conference.

Responding to the U.S. accusations, Ryan of the WHO said, "In the first weeks of January, the WHO was very, very clear."

"We alerted the world on January the 5th," Ryan said. "Systems around the world, including the U.S., began to activate their incident management systems on January the 6th. And through the next number of weeks, we've produced multiple updates to countries, including briefing multiple governments, multiple scientists around the world, on the developing situation ? and that is what it was, a developing situation."

In an interview with NPR that will air on April 16, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, stated: "[The World Health Organization] was not accurate. Had it been accurate, it would have slowed the virus and saved thousands of lives."
