Birx was reportedly so frustrated that she allegedly blurted out, “There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust.”

CDC is being pummeled by both "sides." They were once considered a highly respected, independent entity, considered by most of the world as an authority to be listened to. Then Dump cut one of their nuts off. That what he does.

EVEN IF you could know the exact numbers by 25% better, it could be 100,000 deaths or it could be 64,000. Not sure that changes anything. South Korea has only 200+. Give me a fuggin' break. This guy is toast - he can't handle it. Wrong person for the job. You need someone to give rich people and banks money and lie all day long? Bingo! Dump's your boy!

America loves a winner!

CDC and P. Most people drop off that last letter in the acronym, but it does stand for “prevention“. Honestly, what the fuck did this multibillion dollar division of the United States government do to prevent any damn thing? Seems more like we gave money to China so that they could manufacture this virus in their well-funded laboratory which we practically built. In Wuhan.

I know some on this board fidgett and feel uncomfortable about looking at things honestly, but I don’t give a fuck. In fact, you will be forced to watch.

Oh, and Trump isn’t going anywhere. He handled is probably better than anyone considering he was lied to by China and our own CDC dropped the fucking ball. Testing? That only works if the actual test we get are reliable. The initial batch of kits were faulty, but you don’t want to give a fuck about that do you? You’re just like everyone else on the left, you don’t give a god damn about the facts, you just want to win. Sorry buttercup you’re gonna have to endure four more years of awesomeness from Trump.

Lied to by Chi-na? So you think he should have trusted Chi-na over his own Intel agencies & Health advisors? WTF?

Bruh - I actually agreed with you on the CDC. Hate to see how you'd react if I disagreed!

"Awesomeness from Trump" - can't laugh hard enough. The guy who won't wear a mask, makes others NOT wear masks, and then yells at everyone when people around him get sick. F-sake, dude, those are The Goddamn Facts ™

Deep state describes dedicated, educated professionals.

Timeline: How Trump was out of step with the CDC during coronavirus response

Health officials in Wuhan, China, post a notice that says they’re investigating a pneumonia outbreak that is spreading in their city. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges that it “was informed of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause.”

OFFICIAL US ACTIONS

It’s going to be just fine.”

OFFICIAL US ACTIONS
January 23
CDC advisers tell CNN they are concerned that Chinese health officials haven’t released basic epidemiological data about the virus, making it more difficult to contain the outbreak. Questions remain about how quickly people with the infection become contagious.

TRUMP COMMENTS
February 26
At a White House press conference, Trump defends his administration’s response to the coronavirus but also contradicts the assessment from the CDC that the virus will definitely spread throughout the US.

Let us test this shall we rappy. Here are more facts to add to the ones I've posted above. Can you handle the truth yet? Again I'm betting not.
T

Deep state describes dedicated, educated professionals.

1. Trump fired America’s pandemic response team and 6 other ways he ‘sabotaged’ our coronavirus response

In 2018, the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command was let go.

Trump shut down the global health security unit within the NSC, and the DHS epidemic team was also pushed out. No one was ever replaced.

This fact caused a ripple effect of panic in many federal and state programs while the news spread of the Coronavirus in China. If the virus was to spread in the U.S., there is no playbook on how to respond.

Why did Trump decide the pandemic response team was dispensable? Simple. It was another part of Obama’s legacy that he felt the need to destroy.

2. The CDC is getting its budget slashed

Trump’s budget request for 2021 cuts the budges for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC by nearly 16%. The CDC is responsible for disease prevention and control in the United States.

But Trump isn’t worried about cutting funds to the entity that stops disease prevention because “it will all work out well.”

In addition to the cuts being made to the CDC, Trump is also proposing a cut to the global health fund, lowering it from $571 million to $532 million.

Short-sighted decisions such as these have many people worried the current administration is crippling the country’s ability to respond to coronavirus. Former Vice President Joe Biden pointed out in a USA Today piece that “diseases do not stop at borders. They cannot be thwarted by building a wall.”

Yet, a wall is exactly where Trump is throwing the money. His 2021 budget also calls for $2 billion to be allocated for construction on his border wall.

For now, the majority of the confirmed cases are in China, but the director-general of the World Health Organization warns that there is still a “very grave threat” to the entire world.

3. Emergency funds are drying up

Along with the missing response team, there is also the lack of a budget to contend with.

The Department of Health and Human Services has already notified Congress that it may need to transfer up to $136 million in funds to help combat the fast-moving epidemic.

This is partially because the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has already gone through the $105 million that was set aside for emergency public-health responses for infectious disease outbreaks.

Hawaii Lt. Gov Josh Green voiced concerns about the White House’s gameplan to tackle the Coronavirus issue.

“The way this was rolled out is concerning. This is not the kind of thing you want to do on the fly because it creates chaos.”

4. Trump spreads misinformation

Trump keeps repeating a false claim that Americans don’t have to worry because the Coronavirus will be defeated by warm weather.

Steve Herman
?
@W7VOA
Replying to @W7VOA and 3 others
“The heat generally speaking kills this kind of virus,” @POTUS explains to governors, suggesting #China has given him confidence that the #coronavirus outbreak will subside by April.

There’s one big problem with this: scientists say the opposite.

Infectious disease experts told CNN last week that they don’t know enough about this strain of Coronavirus to make that judgment. Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, calls the assumption that spring weather will kill coronavirus “reckless.”

“We don’t really understand the basis of seasonality, and of course we know we absolutely nothing about this particular virus.”

5. The administration doesn’t heed warnings

Experts have been warning the administration, but those concerns have gone completely unheeded.

Ron Klain, for one, has been telling the Trump administration for two years that the United States was not capable of handling a pandemic. Klain served as Chief of Staff for two U.S. Vice Presidents and was also the Ebola response coordinator in 2014.

Even Bill Gates, the philanthropic billionaire, repeatedly met with John Bolton about the issue. Bill Gates warned that ongoing cuts to the global health disease infrastructure would make the United States vulnerable to “significant probability of a large and lethal modern-day pandemic occurring in our lifetimes.”

The Trump Administration didn’t listen to the words of Klain or Gates. The CDC’s global health section has been cut so drastically that staff members have been laid off in droves. The section used to work in 49 different countries, but now they have a presence in just 10.

6. The President creates a Coronavirus Task Force

A potential epidemic is here.

In addition to waiting for spring weather to weaken the virus, the only other move Trump has made to prepare the country is the creation of a task force.

The “President’s Coronavirus Task Force.” contains a dozen men, five of whom are directly from the White House staff. According to the Press Secretary, the task force will be responsible for “efforts to monitor, contain, and mitigate the spread of the virus.”

While a task force might seem like a good idea, the details on how its goals will be accomplished have been left quite hazy.

7. More misinformation from his administration

The Trump administration sent Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to a Fox Business appearance. Ross’s main talking point was the hypothetical business opportunities from Coronavirus saying it “will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America.”

Ross claims that the losses in China will lead to a surge in American business prospects.

The Commerce Secretary words were proven to be nothing but more misinformation by Paul Krugman of the New York Times. Krugman says:

In such a world, anything that disrupts imports — whether it’s tariffs or a virus — raises production costs, and as a result if anything hurts manufacturing…if the virus seriously disrupts Chinese production, its impact on the U.S. economy will be like an extreme version of Trump’s trade war, except without any compensation in the form of tariff revenue.”

The White House does not have a plan, it does not have a framework, it does not have a philosophy, and it does not have a goal.

It is not that the president is doing the wrong thing — he is doing basically nothing. But he has combined a substantive passivity with a showman’s desire to dominate the narrative and a political street fighter’s obsession with settling scores, so he is making the job of governors and mayors harder, neither giving them what they need to beat the virus nor leaving them to make their own decisions free from his interference and criticism.

The result is that the country has accomplished essentially none of the necessary preparatory work required to safely begin to reopen and return to some semblance of normal life.

Americans have made tremendous sacrifices to buy their government time, and that time has been wasted. That is why we are left with an increasingly polarized, and polarizing, debate between endless lockdowns and reckless reopening: The government has failed to do what functional governments in other countries have done and create a better option.

Trump said, “We have more cases than anybody in the world, but why? Because we do more testing. When you test, you have a case. When you test you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases. They don’t want to write that. It’s common sense. We test much more.”

A 10-year old heard this, immediately rolled her eyes and said, "That's so stupid! They still have it, they just wouldn't know it!"

What a bizarre thing for Trump to say. So does testing cause deaths, too? Is that why almost 1 of 3 deaths worldwide from COVID-19 comes from the United States?

I think that the media rightly understood this to be a crisis. And if thinking it's a crisis makes it lean 'left', then I guess that makes almost every country in the world part of 'the left', except for Brazil and Mexico, which now have an upward case explosion when major countries have either plateaued or dropped.

You have really heavy filters on your glasses that somehow block off seeing the rest of the planet.

And why should you care about the rest of the planet? Because it keeps you from coming up with silly statements about D's and R's. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. If you don't look at the rest of the planet, I'm sure you could find a way to blame that on one or the other, or credit one or the other.

Many, many things aren't a matter of D or R. If you take off your polarized filters that see everything that way, you'll see a more complete reality.

1kiki, why are you using science? Science has little traction on the Republican side of the climate change debate because it is a long-standing partisan issue. When Covid-19 became partisan, Republican vs Democrat, months ago, science lost with Republicans.
www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/covid-19-is-turning-into-
a-partisan-battle-politics-daily/608578/

There is a wide partisan gap on views of President Donald Trump’s response to the outbreak. Although both Republicans and Democrats rate the responses of public health officials and state and local elected officials positively in the survey conducted last week, partisans are deeply divided on views of Trump’s response. A broad majority of Republicans and Republican leaners (83%) rate Trump’s response to the outbreak as either excellent or good; just 18% of Democrats and Democratic leaners say the same.

The president is a racist, in his words and his actions.

Before you go clutching your pearls and extolling the virtues of “civility,” let me say this: Put a sock in it.

This is not a new revelation, nor is it something that we can continue to ignore as though it were coming from a drunk uncle at the family barbecue. Bigotry is dangerous and, coming from our nation’s commander in chief, it can mean an inability to recognize individual humanity and a failure to act with moral authority in times of crisis. Every person talking about his clothes as Trump cheerfully bares his ass is part of the problem.

When the data show that President Trump’s support stems from racist and sexist beliefs, and that his election emboldened Americans to engage in racist behavior, it is the responsibility of social scientists and other political observers to say so.

America loves a winner!

Trump has never embraced racism.

There's zero proof he's a racist.

In contrast, Joe Biden has made multiple truly racist comments, and I don't need a filter or some false authority figure telling me what Joe said and then have it explained to me why they're racist.

On their own, Joe's remarks are undeniably racist.

“ Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.” - Joe Biden

Racism Is All Trump Has Left
Facing a tough reelection fight, the president tries to rally his base with the bogeyman of Obama and a reassertion of racial hierarchy.

What else does Trump have left? The economy is a shambles and his unilateralist foreign policy has yielded no clear achievement. Racism is the only card Trump has left to play. There is every reason to think he’ll try to exploit racism to the limit in order to hold on to power.

I see you're too much of a coward to offer any actual evidence.

Deflect away all you want.

What else does Trump have? WTF are you even babbling about? Trump is purposely being falsely accused or non existent racism in the midst of a world pandemic which started form Communist China ( possibly on purpose ).. how ?

I used to think more of Firefly fans, but then I used to think Joss was a decent guy too.
