We would not be in this situation had we just got tough on this from the get go...the patty cake patty cake soft ass measures have availed us the situation we are currently in... We blew it bad...and Trump definitely played a big role in the lax attitude and failure therein..."We have it under control, we have the greatest medical advisors in the world" early on. I'm not blaming it on Trump alone it was a collective fail but a more practical, unifying charismatic leader could have made a world of difference in how this went down and how we went about squashing it early on...In the countries that did what China did...There are no shut downs, people are going about their daily lives just like in the olden days of 2019.
Here's a link to a site that shows the countries that got it right as opposed to the dumbass ones ( of which the USA gets first place!) ...It's pretty current data early November..
Below is a snapshot from worldometer.com of the stats for yesterday and below it a spread sheet I posted on May 3rd here... To be clear on May 3rd China had it under control pretty well with a total of @ 82,000 cases, as of yesterday they have had a total of 86,361...Oh yeah I know , I know they are lying they can't be trusted.....all the 100's of people I know there are lying to me cause they'll be sent to the disinformation camps if they don't...
Look at this number and hopefully you'll get a sick feeling in your gut ......as of yesterday here in the good old "we have it under control" USA we have had a total of 11,695,711 cases and yesterday ...yes... in ONE FREEKING DAY we had 157,261 new cases.. China with 4 times as many people, as of yesterday has had a TOTAL of 86,361 cases...
If I had a rake! The U.S. had almost double the amount of cases in ONE DAY that China has had over the whole last 11 months.......we should be so proud....
If you can get beyond the blinders of the bias ignorant media.... they kicked the Corona virus's ass and we have lovingly kissed it ...an embarrassing fail of monumental proportions.
I know some of you get pissed off at me for defending China and I do want to be very clear. I am grateful as hell that I live in a country where I can post information on a forum like this and point out my governments flaws without the fear of my door being busted down and me being thrown in a cell and getting my ass beat. If the tables were turned and it was the USA that had handled it right and someone in China posted the same shit they absolutely could be getting themselves in some seriously hot water.
There is a lot about China I admire and a lot of things I am not a fan of but because people have to follow the rules a lot more closely there they were able to say stay the fuck in your house and people did it.
In the beginning had we taken this a lot more seriously and understood the gravity of not taking strong measures to stop the spread...things should have been done a lot more strictly and it should have been a nationally united battle. This is just Monday morning quarterbacking at this juncture but IMO national Marshal law would have been appropriate but the Trump haters would have said here comes Hitler. We all wear mask, temperatures taken at all public places..areas like New York where it went crazy fast get locked down...no one leaves or enters the city. Would have a made a huge difference but here we are now laughably still yapping about herd immunity....lordy.
