The only people who think the response was a “shitshow” are folks like those at the Merc who have hated the guy from the start.

I voted for Trump in 2016; up til the outbreak he had a great chance for a second term but I think the Corona will cost him the election. He inaccurately underestimated the impact like the rest of Europe and many forum members as we can all see. However I don’t think Obama would have handled it well either. Basically the West screwed up from the beginning for taking this lightly.

The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American."

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.
