‘Defunded the CDC’ to ‘build his wall’: Trump scorched for incompetent handling of coronavirus – including spelling it ‘caronavirus’
Yes he will. What he won't do is desperately hope for a mass die off and an economic crash so he can score political points. We'll leave that to the 2-headed SchumerPelosi creature.
Its always a tell when the Democrats get their hate on. When the like of SchumerPelosi start their noise, we know that the danger is past us and the petty political shit-slinging has begun. A pathetic grab for relevancy.
Coronavirus is leas deadly than the flu. In contrast, the invasion along the southern border is a serious issue requiring urgent attention. As such, a bigger focus on the wall than on CDC would be a more prudent allocation of resources.
Actualky calming reassurance words of wisdom in a repetition of what he has already stated would be the proper approach. IMHO he did not get out in front on this quickly enough which allowed false and hysterical narratives to take roo . Calm and steady solve problems. Panicked hysteria generally isn't helpful.
I apologize for the typos. Essentially by not getting out in front on this early enough false and hysterical narratives regarding coronavirus were allowed to take root.
It’s also a blessing that - even with the so-called horrible healthcare system in the US - we have far fewer cases ov coronavirus than some EU countries with their “free” healthcare.
The military makes heavy use of reservists to respond to situations that require the use if the military. This enables to maintain an effective fighting force while reducing the costs that would be incurred with keeping additional full time personnel when they aren't needed.
The same dynamic will be at work with a "pandemic response team." Such a team of trained medical personnel can be assembled when needed in much the same way mikitary reservists are assembled when needed. Furthermore pandemics are exceedingly rare with little that can actually be done to prevent them and medical training is readily available to the appropriate skilled personnel that a full-time pandemic response team that mostly sits around and does nothing isn't really needed. Add to this the fact that systems can be put in place that allow a rapid response to be mobilized relatively in the event of a pandemic that will be a better use of resources than a full time team that has little to do most of the time.
If such a team actually existed, Trump was absolutely right to disband it. The current situation is not a pandemic nor us it likely to become one hysteria aside.
I think a better use of these funds would be to divert them to border security where the problems are much more severe than the coronavirus hysteria.
Pandemic Response Team set up by Obama in response to ebola.
Ebola eradicated or slowed?
It made Obama look like he was doing something effective when all he really was doing is CYA and spending money.
Could Fred tell if it did?
Answer is "NO". Fred does not know what a Poisson Distribution is.
About spending money. There is this Jewish professor, who now has emeritus status. He told us that "Nature loves elegance". In that profession you understand constraints. You do not use too little and you do not use too much. using too much is as deadly as using too little (Bigness can be its own downfall like in "The bigger they come the harder they fall.").
Trump understands this intuitively. He understand s it like a great baseball pitcher who throws well but may not understand the physics behind it.
I questioned 3 years ago whether Trump was Aurelius or Aurelian. We'll find out in a year.

I'm confident president Grandpa will offer cogent, calming words of wisdom in this difficult time.
Yes he will. What he won't do is desperately hope for a mass die off and an economic crash so he can score political points. We'll leave that to the 2-headed SchumerPelosi creature.

Luckily they're easy to ignore.
ADULT,
SWIM.

The Trump administration fired the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018 to cut costs.

I wondered, where grandpa went, when he stopped showing up at a thread. I figured there must be a new blogpost and he was drooling there. I was right.
I am not going to even look it up.
Let's guess.
