Thread

I want to thank @Jossfjh for perfectly illustrating what I've been saying:

Leftists are insane and utterly impervious to reality.

Here's how she responded to my FACT-BASED thread on how quickly @realDonaldTrump reacted to COVID-19.
Let's go over it again:

Trump was being told by Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, and the WHO that COVID-19 did not pose a significant threat to the US.

NEVERTHELESS, Trump ordered the CDC to begin screening travelers from China on January 17.
The first American COVID-19 test was confirmed on January 19.

He was a 35-year-old man in Snohomish County, Washington.

AT THAT POINT, Trump began making plans for a pandemic.
On January 20, he asked 3M to double its production of N95 respirators.
On January 21 and 26, Dr. Fauci said publicly that Americans have little to fear from COVID-19.

On January 31, Trump placed travel restrictions on China, DEFYING Dr, Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, WHO, the Democrats, and the global press.
Obviously @Jossfjh has no idea how things work.

One, the public health system has pandemic plans that go into action regardless of who's in the White House.

Two, the CDC lacks the authority to gives orders to states, cities, hospitals, and individual clinicians.
Three, the FDA is in total control of which treatments are allowed.

Four, the Defense Production Act is an enormous blunt-edged sword that smashes its way through industry, often causing unnecessary delays due to bureaucrats who know nothing about manufacturing.
Five, the press tells us "success stories" about other countries when in fact those countries only DELAYED the spread of COVID-19 and are now having to take the steps Trump took long before them.

South Korea and Singapore come to mind.
Six, most governors, mayors, and hospitals view the federal strategic stockpiles as a superstore; therefore governors, mayors, and hospitals FAILED to maintain their own stockpiles of supplies and equipment, which is required in order to ensure the system works.
Governor Gavin Newsom of California is PROOF that when the states, commonwealths, and territories, DO THEIR JOBS, the system works.

Newsom has so successfully contained COVID-19 that he was able to send surplus ventilators to New York.
@AmbassadorRice is blaming Trump for the nature of COVID-19.

It turns out that she's just as childish as Obama. She can't understand with her two-watt chicken brain that NO AMOUNT OF PREPAREDNESS could have stopped this.
Nobody knew how infectious it is.

And the majority of the country expected the feds to "wave a magic wand," as Rice's moronic boss infamously said.

Trump showed LEADERSHIP by going with common sense.

NOW the country and medical community have caught up to him.
