Hopefully our next president will re-incorporate some measures to help safeguard against such things as this instead of dismantling them like the current regime.

I must ask...
what, exactly, was "dismantled" by the "current regime" that led to a global coronavirus outbreak? THIS has gotta be good...

Further, what was ever DONE by a previous administration to "safeguard" against such things?

Cite sources, please. Facts are always nice amidst the spew...

I'm dumb enough to bite: how about defunding the White House Nat Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense team, who monitored potential outbreaks worldwide? Slightly scary reading an article from 2018 stating the threat of a pandemic flu as their number 1 concern

Thank you, Mayor Bloomberg. I'll provide the citation for you, in case you missed it. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/de...avirus-claims/

Thanks for linking it for me:
"Multiple Democrats, including Bloomberg and Biden, have criticized Trump for getting rid of a pandemic response position on the National Security Council. The position was eliminated, although John Bolton, then-national security adviser, was the person directly responsible."

Nobody could have stopped this and to say they could have is assanine. No country in the world has stopped it and will not This thing has to run it's coarse and then it will subside. All you geniuses who think any person could have stopped this is a nut case. Blaming the President is just plain Stupid.

South Korea and China actually have stopped it by taking aggressive measures to do so. Just taking a �let it run its course� approach is a recipe for disaster.

CNN accusing "someone" of being racist and a xenophobe for calling the Coronovirus the Wuhan virus or the China Virus. Is CNN really this dumb where they, themselves, forgot what they also called it?

Now who can argue with genuine American gibberish like that? Just a thought, but perhaps the next time you decide to attack people for being stupid or sarcastically call them geniuses for not agreeing with you or your beloved fearless leader, maybe get someone who can read and write at better than a 9th grade remedial level to proof the post for you. The words you are searching for are "asinine", "its", and "course". The next to last sentence should read: "All you geniuses who think any person could have stopped this are nut cases."

Just to be sure you don't think I am criticizing the way you expressed yourself rather than the content of your statement, I have carefully considered your brilliant defense of the regime's incompetent, late and grudging response to the pandemic and can think of only one response that seems appropriate: nuts!

You're welcome. To provide context to your quote, I added the preceding sentences to those bullet points (including your quoted one), just in case you missed that.

I didn't miss it, it did not relate to my point. You appear very interested in making this a Trump/NonTrump thing, I have no interest in that. Feel free to argue with others, I would rather care about my students, my family, and my friends, no matter if they wear a D or an R on their hats.
