what i’m bringing up, is that last month the left went nuts that he was going too far, and today the same exact people are saying he didn’t do enough.

NO ONE on the left has held Pelosi or Diblasio for the reckless things they were telling their constituents to do. Why not?

once again, you’re trying to have it both ways.

not saying trump handled this well. it’s just funny that the left sees nothing wrong with attacking him for overreacting a few weeks ago, and now attacking him for under reacting. And none of you has sh*t to say about Pelosi or Diblasio. only trump. why is that?

So much wasted energy, time and talent around here..

Kraft's plane, (one of them, with Patriots logo), was sent to pick up a reported 1.5 million masks... What we don't know is if Kraft paid for crew and fuel, and landing fees? Who paid for masks? Or who is going to distribute this 'order", and whose order is it?

What we do know is that the factory producing said masks is in China... China. Not Maine. Not North Carolina. China. And we know who is working to get Americans a better deal in trade... Maybe, just maybe, after this is all done with the virus, we will see things actually being manufactured here in the USA. The corporate greed of older boomers played its part in America not making anything within our borders anymore... This has to change...

I have done all I can to buy American made products and if all Americans did that, vacationed in the US, ate out often and visit local mom and pop stores after this is over, it might send a message that will be heard.

All those masks are for Massachusetts now Russia just sent more ventilators


TRUMP latest tweet. Let's see who jumps to his defense

Massive amounts of medical supplies, even hospitals and medical centers, are being delivered directly to states and hospitals by the Federal Government. Some have insatiable appetites & are never satisfied (politics?). Remember, we are a backup for them. They should ...have been stocked up and ready long before this crisis hit. Other states are thrilled with the job we have done. Sending many Ventilators today, with thousands being built. 51 large cargo planes coming in with medical supplies. Prefer sending directly to hospitals.

All great ideas here and I am being serious. I love seeing the manufacturing being brought back also.

The My Pillow guy (1) makes everything in the USA, and (2) voluntarily re-tooled 75% of his production to making 50,000 masks a day. But he is to be mocked instead of being called a hero(not by you), because he had the audacity to mention religion.

It's not just huge CEO's who benefitted from making everything in China, we all benefitted from the lower prices. No one was forced to shop at Walmart, we all could have continued to shop at the mom and pops, but we all swarmed to Walmart because of the prices. If we make all that stuff here, prices go way up. I'm not saying I'm opposed to that, but prices will go way up. But so will quality.

These first two things ought to really scare you, I hope they are not a trend.

On the first day of tracking whether the new coronavirus model Dr. Birx is using is accurate, the data on the ground exceeded the highest end of the model for deaths and new cases by 15%+.

Today a frontline doctor at a major NYC hospital tells he lost his first patient this morning to rationing of care — not enough ventilators to go around. The lack of supplies and testing is real — and costing lives — no matter what the daily reality show tries to sell you.

Now look at just what did the Dems do or not do?
If you look a little bit you will find that the coronavirus danger was pushed publicly quite a bit.
It was pushed far more within the intel and public health community.

Just think what might have happened if there were WH press conferences and hard questions were asked by nasty reporters.

We will find that out eventually, this will be investigated.
Americans will want to know how so many died and what could have been done, it will likely be hundreds of thousands worse than Benghazi.

February 2nd
With fewer than a dozen cases reported, Mr. Trump said
in an appearance with Sean Hannity that the United States
had stopped the virus’s spread by restricting travel. “We
pretty much shut it down coming in from China,” he said.

Chris Murphy
@ChrisMurphyCT
Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough.
Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.
10:09 AM · Feb 5, 2020

March 7th
With nearly every state reporting at least one case, a reporter
asked Mr. Trump whether he was concerned that the virus was
getting closer to the White House. Mr. Trump replied, “No, I’m
not concerned at all. No, I’m not. No, we’ve done a great job.”

Remember that the same people who had a problem with Hunter Biden’s qualifications are totally cool with the president’s know-nothing son-in-law playing a big role in solving a global pandemic. It’s almost like they’re completely unprincipled scumbags.

Nations around the world bought up the worlds supplies of PPE and ventilators starting in January, including ours. The administration dawdled.

Last week, a Trump administration official working to secure much-needed protective gear for doctors and nurses in the United States had a startling encounter with counterparts in Thailand.

The official asked the Thais for help—only to be informed by the puzzled voices on the other side of the line that a U.S. shipment of the same supplies, the second of two so far, was already on its way to Bangkok.

Now read the playbook and think about what could have been if the administration had listened to the people inside and outside the administration telling them before March.
