  1. President Obama left CadetBonespurs tRump an intact CDC & Pandemic Playbook that illiterate tRump totally ignored!

    1. If the hUUUgely stable genius had a playbook he threw it away because it didn’t come with crayons.

    2. Hydroxychloroquine–Number Of Prescriptions Explodes In France

      Despite the warnings around taking hydroxychloroquine to combat the symptoms of COVID-19, prescriptions in France have increased by as much as 7,000% in certain parts of the country since the pandemic began.
      From Financial News:
      Mylan Ramps Up Production of Hydroxychloroquine as a Potential COVID-19 Treatment
      Mylan (NASDAQ:MYL) has restarted production of its hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets at its West Virginia manufacturing facility as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The company plans to have product available by mid-April and thinks it can ramp up to 50 million tablets, which could treat more than 1.5 million people.

      COVID-19 Treatment: India Ships Tons of Hydroxychloroquine To 100-Plus Countries
      The COVID-19 pandemic almost certainly began in Wuhan China under an authoritarian Communist regime that is alleged to have covered up the scope of the health crisis. Could the end of the disease, that has now infected close to 2.2 million people and killed nearly 150,000, be credited to India through an anti-malaria drug touted by U.S. President Donald Trump?

    3. No masks to go with the play book? Funny, Obama gave China the virus, funds to study it, and depleated mask inventory. Food for thought.

  2. We are pawns in the game of Trump. We cannot change him so we have to change what we can.

    V O T E !!!
    BIDEN 2020!
    Let’s start the healing!

  3. Trump takes no Responsability we in Reality this is all Trump for disbanding the Pandemic Fast Responce teams USA always controlled them!

    1. Rhonda Smith It’s time to call for a coup to force Trump out! He’s showing to be a danger to this country.

    2. 25th amendment.
      Unfortunately his enablers (Read G.O.P.) HAVE LEFT THE ROOM.
      In 2015 I believe.
      Imagine, leaving a mentally challenged child to run the family car…
      SMH.

    3. Reg U They won’t do it. The Republicans are to dumb and corrupt. And the entire Administration is far to corrupt and have become a bunch of yes men. Pressure your Governors, Mayors, Military Generals, Intelligence Agencies, etc. to come together to call for a coup. Get Trump and Pence out and get Biden as soon as possible so he can start cleaning up this mess. As well as different groups like the #SDNY finally be able to finally question them on these numerous investigations swirling around him.

    1. I hate to be the one to brake it to ya, but we are not all in this together. It’s sad, but in a way it’s fitting.

  4. “Mr president, did you read the playbook?”
    “Read? I just looked at the pictures.”
    “Ugh, I said playBOOK. Not Playboy.”
    “Oohhhh…. No then. Too busy.”
    “FML. 🤦 “

    1. @william Thomas And that is saying A LOT.
      Stay safe, healthy and for your family’s futures sake VOTE.

    2. Responsible journalists and politicians would own up to these failures and vow to fix them. Instead, irresponsible ones are attempting to rewrite history.

      While they downplayed the virus and its risks, President Trump took action. Here’s just a sample of what his Administration has done over the past 3 months:
      • On January 29, the President assembled his Coronavirus Task Force. Two days later, he declared a Public Health Emergency and restricted travel from China.

      • On February 4, President Trump vowed to protect Americans in his State of the Union Address and issued Emergency Use Authorization for Medical Devices. On February 24, he requested $2.5 billion from Congress to combat the virus’ spread.

      • On March 6, the President signed Coronavirus preparedness funding into law. Between March 11 and March 18, he restricted travel from Europe, declared a National Emergency, issued aggressive national Coronavirus Guidelines, and signed the Family First Response Act. By the end of March, he’d sign a historic $2.2 trillion economic relief package negotiated by the Administration into law.

      • By April 9, more than 2 million Americans had been tested for Coronavirus—by far the most testing of any country on Earth. The same day, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the Paycheck Protection Program had already approved more than $125 billion in forgivable loans in fewer than 5 full days of operation.

  5. 100% foreknowledge. As a US citizen watching the news, I knew on 01/27/20 there was a serious problem. The CDC’s team & plan could have kept us safe.

  6. I knew I disagreed with conservatives and republicans. But absolutely hate them for electing trump and others… and even worse, standing by him.

    1. I blame the people that knew he was a POS and put him in our White House anyway!!! I blame them first. He is their doing!!!!

  7. Australia had a task force in place due to WHO yearly warnings. Probably why we have only had 104 deaths and are now safe and open.

    1. You also have a population of grown ups. Not spoiled, uneducated, pampered, overprivleged self righteous arrogant idiots!

  8. *Trump couldn’t have done any of this without the help of ‘Fox’ the Network that feeds ‘Republican Rage’. I advise folks: go two whole weeks without tuning in and see how relaxed, peaceful & less angry at the world you’ll feel.*

    *#ComplicitMurdochs** profiteering on hate & division, it’s their speciality🤮*

  9. 130,000 dead, 100’s of thousands more on ventilators, millions sick, 10’s of millions unemployed, 100’s of millions mentally fatigued.

    Vietnam – 0 dead, fully reopen
    Taiwan – 7 dead, fully reopen
    Iceland – 10 dead, full reopen
    New Zealand – 22 dead, fully reopen
    Singapore – 26 dead, fully reopen
    Thailand – 58 dead, fully reopen
    Australia – 104 dead, fully reopen
    Croatia – 108 dead, fully reopen
    South Korea – 282 dead, fully reopen

    America, it didn’t have to be this way!

    1. while not 100%, there seems to be a correlation between left/liberal governments and containing the outbreak, and right wing governments royally fcking the handling up.

    2. These are countries that have done extremely well. But even the countries who have been affected badly have come out of it because of strict measures. And now all these countries will have to suffer because of the USA. Just look at the leaders of the top 3 countries affected by the virus. It tells a very definite story.

  10. WHERE IS THE DONALD’S PANDEMIC RESPONSE PLAYBOOK!!! seriously obama left a pandemic playbook but the donald and is such a pathetic loser that he rather watch us die that use that playbook…

    1. Yep… worse, trump et al dismantled the agencies that were in charge of identifying and having a plan to eradicate viruses before they go to pandemics ….. there falls the rub of it being out of hand.

  11. I am a liberal Democrat, but , I recognize Bush as a normal man with whom I could disagree. Trump is abnormal and cannot be dealt with in a normal manner!
