Can anyone explain this to me? Everyone says it's Trump's fault, but of course I aint believing that shit. Whats the real problem here? Bureaucracy run amok? Health officials underestimating the severity? Gib QRD pls
Why has the US been so seemingly underprepared to deal with coronachan?
These are the same people that Bernocrats want running our healthcare system in total, just keep that in mind.
Simple facts are is that government management of anything is largely inefficient if not incompetent.
High healthcare costs and low coverage means that Americans as a whole have been conditioned to not visit the doctor u less they're in dire condition.
CDC has tight regulations on who gets tested. Unless you meet their criteria of "almost dying," you won't get tested.
Making all Covid-19 related treatments free won't help the situation, because the symptoms are so generic that you pretty much play Russian Roulette by visiting the doctor.
It isn't exclusively Trump's fault, but he certainly didn't act fast enough and didn't use his position to pressure CDC into loosening regulations.
Korea mass tested their population in the blink of an eye. Everyone made fun of them for their high numbers, but now they're the healthiest looking country in the world because they actually offered care for their people and understand the concept of herd immunity.
Theyre prepared. Thats not the problem. The elite wanted to save as much money and keep the good times going as long as possible. They dont care about you and if you die. Theyll fly off somewhere, import a million third worlders and do it all over again
Think how easily they couldve shut the border/ suspend work etc. They didnt, instead theyve been using msm to drum up fear, sell everything off the shelves and now when it could affect them, is when action is being taken. Never forget, these people hate you and want you dead and view you as less than human
We offshored production of practically everything useful in this situation, and on top of that we've spent the past 50 years "streamlining" (read: gutting of surplus) our hospitals, so we now operate very near ICU capacity in the best of times. Since empty beds and stockpiled meds/PPE don't make money, we don't have them. For profit healthcare is frankly a disaster, but blaming trump or saying that europe is better prepared is honestly just a coping mechanism
How do you prepare, from a public health point of view, for a pandemic? All you can do is shut down international travel and tell people to wash their hands and not congregate.
You could deploy the militarily and enforce quarantine zones but everyone is too cucked for that. How else could you prepare?
You’re asking for a 1000 word essay this is a complicated question
This
Idiot for president.
He is more concerned about his reelection and the stock market than getting out in front of the issue which ironically will actually probably make the stock market and his re-election perform better.
Compared to what country specifically?
any other country that's dealing with it better than US, I suppose.
>Trump didnt do enough to fix this for everyone!
Typical asshat always looking to blame someone else. Nature is a real motherfucker, you cant always handle shit.
because they can't shoot it
>have functional test kits ready to go
>make sure that hospitals have adequate supplies of masks, respirators, etc
>get medical staff up to speed on wearing the correct gear and on testing procedure
>start setting up field hospitals ahead of time
>prepare truthful and helpful messaging and get out ahead of disinfo
>shut travel down immediately
>get started on bringing production of critical supplies back to the US
>prioritize people over markets
We had months to prepare for this one and blew it in every conceivable fashion.
b/c the country is full of atheists and heretics
integralism now!
>ignores it til shit starts to implode
>not his fault
if it turns out hes a lying fraud and we all start dying I wouldn't even be surprised at this point. He lied about sticking it to the Saudis, hes pro redflag gun laws, he put Rudy in charge of cyber fucking security at one point, and he hasn't sent the feds to deal with corruption in new york and california. Fuck him, hes a traitorous kike but not for the reasons you hear about on CNN.
God is removing His protection of our country.
Everything bad is coming soon.
There still isn't a test that doesn't have shit accuracy, that's the real problem and not one the government can magic away
basically this.
i'm now full on integralism train
current prediction:
coronavirus takes out trump
pence becomes president
pence implements integralism
i always thought the deep state has a vaccines/antivirals
cus its a free market shithole. no one can take any action unless someone profits from it. they will literally all be in army field hospital tents.
Instead of looking tough but prepared, declaring martial law, banned international travel, people congregating, and using the Emergency Medical System to give around the clock reminders for people to wash their hands, he pushed the retarded "nothingburger" argument to try and save the stock market from temporarily crashing. He still has time to make things right but that window is closing.
By looking worse than Bush Jr. after Katrina, the kung-flu is the only thing that would allow him to snatch a loss from the jaws of victory.
Real answer is that the US hasn't dealt with a serious pandemic threat in a very long time. Asian countries have been prepared since SARS. Our initial concern was to limit testing and preventative measures in order to keep the economy going, and hope the virus burnt itself out on its own. Most western countries did this, not just us. Now we're all looking at Italy and going "oh shit"
Specifically which countries are those?
>>shut travel down immediately
This one boggles my mind. We've all played Pandemic or Plague Inc.
They are more interested in keeping the stock market alive
Early CDC testing was sabotaged in a terrorist incident, that Trump has been trying to keep silent. There are insane democrats in CDC labs actively sabotaging everything. If word got out, stocks would tumble. Fortunately Trump has activated many non-CDC labs, so it won't be noticable to the general public.
Couldnt be the $12 billion dollar CDC annual budget.
Are you really that dumb, mutt?
Think real, real hard - the answer is juuuuust around the corner
Because nobody in any country has been prepared for anything for literally decades.
I don't know if you've noticed but every single aspect of "the system" has been running at about 900% over capacity for many, many years now.
All the "power" and "control" of the "elites" are just carefully crafted, soviet-style illusions.
>Where your proofs
Look at the London riots from 10 years ago. The authorities had to abandon the entire city to diverse multicultural looters (who weren't even armed) after about 15 minutes and just mop up the mess afterwards.
Trump supporters are uneducated shitbagz who unironically vote against their own economic interests
I don't think the gubment can do much unless an emergency is declared and then based FEMA can kick into action
>All the "power" and "control" of the "elites" are just carefully crafted, soviet-style illusions.
No shit. It literally is just the flu bro, but the wy out "Elites" handle it have made it pretty much undeniable to even the most bluepilled taht we are ruled by a bunch of clinically retarded Kretins.
That is also why people are storming the supermarkets, because "always do the oppistie of what the government says" has become the Credo at least around here.
And yeah, America is fucked as its healthcare system excludes large swathes of the population by default and is intended to care for only a fraction from the get go, so youd need to magic up hospitals like the Chinese did to even get up to the coverage of a First World country. Which of course isnt happening because see above.
This really activates the ol almonds
>Whats the real problem here?
1)
Top of the list is the CDC decided to "improve" the WHO Corona Test Kit so it could detect multiple illnesses. When the kits were manufactured, they didn't work because they were overcomplicated. Three weeks and thousands of faulty kits were lost, giving the virus time to spread.
2)
Having fucked up the test-kits, the CDC began covering their ass by saying the kits weren't needed. they spent more time trying to avoid blame than on actually doing their job.
3)
Despite knowing this was coming, nobody built a stockpile of masks. There is a shortage of masks because well paid bureaucrats didn't do their job.
4)
Trump administration didn't decisively say who was paying for this (for tests, for quarantine etc), so nobody took charge and time was lost.
:(
The test-kits and masks will go down as one of the biggest debacles in US history. Primarily it is the CDC who are at fault, but Trump will be blamed even though he's followed all the advice from the best people.
It's just a fuck up.
to extrapolate a little more about this, our system is not designed for the broad public health response that's needed at a time like this, but specialization and tailored care for particular diseases and afflictions.
Because all the serious people have been pushed out of government are replaced with homos, trannies, women of color, and Jews.
all this goes on you, don't try to hide behind some presidential pansy
>muh demonRATs
MIGApedes are the biggest coping faggots on the planet
Efficiency is the enemy of resilience. Efficient systems get lean and mean. They also break easily because every part of the system is just the one bare part, no backups. It costs too much to have a backup.
Efficiency is also the god of capitalism/free markets/corporations/etc, and its creed has suffused every aspect of American culture. It's efficient, but fragile. It's not resilient, not ready for disaster.
We needed to be more willing to "waste" money on "more than we need" so that the country could be more resilient in times like these. We're never preparing for disasters, we're always responding to them, because we're always hoping we won't have to pay for them, and only reluctantly do so after they've actually happened.
And by god the people need to be more independent. More off-grid, more homesteader, more ready to survive without supply lines.
I love this magical thinking behind the expectation that there were ever or is even possible to reliably test for a new virus we are learning about as we go.
There’s no fucking shortage, no fucking sabotage, they simply don’t know how to ducking test for it, even after decades there are still false positives and false negatives for hiv tests.
The shortage and sabotage nonsense only serves to create the illusion that these people are in control and working on solutions.
Oops we fix it oops we make more are the Santa Claus and Easter bunny you need to sleep at night because oops we don’t know how to test would have you afraid of everyone you see
>all the serious people have been pushed out of government are replaced with homos, trannies, women of color, and Jews.
nice pic
Boomer cope
CDC has been incompetent because it's full of affirmative action hires in majority black Atlanta. Trump is 100% to blame because he's done nothing to roll back affirmative action.
This
Our government hates out guts, just like any other government, but unlike other governments, ours fears it's citizens more than they care for them.
Talking the talk became more important than walking the walk.
Can't bullshit or neg your way out of a virus.
Prove to me virus' are even real. Show me pictures from a Google image search, not cartoons.
Want to know WHY you don't get tested on demand? Because 99% of potential Corona "sufferers" that ask for it are just retards who got the seasonal cold or flu, since it's nearly impossible to distinguish in the majority of cases due to the respiratory issues being similar. You can only diagnose otherwise once someone actually starts spewing up their lungs so it's safer to just tell people who didn't go to Korea, Japan, China or Italy that they won't get tested because then it stops limited amounts of resources being wasted on spastics who are worrying about a bug.
they just want to prop up the stock market
Had to take shitposting flag off
Trump never stood a chance against this thing poor bastard
As Hank Oslo put in this interview, we don't have a space agency (NASA) for the purpose of space exploration anymore, we have an institution who's purpose is to reinforce the idea that women and nonwhites would be the best for the job if we were actually doing it.

lmao, please eat a bullet retard
Literally nobody is prepared because it's a unique and unexpected thing.
Your elites (and the europoor's) believe in wordmagic, where using the correct language will remove any problematic part of reality, and that good intentions = good outcomes.
If you disagree, you are removed for being racist, sexist or disloyal, since these troublemakers makes the "challenges" much harder.
When these elites meet a reality they can't ignore, it literally goes to hell.
The real infuriating thing here is that they knew exactly how bad it was, I mean, everyone here knew and all we had were twitter posts by chinks to go by. So I am supposed to believe major western governments with their surveillance state and over 9000 secret agencies didn't exactly know what was going on? Yeah, right. So why didn't they react at all and still react way too slow? Is it just sheer incompetence, was it out of greed over muh economy or is it some kind of sick planned global culling of largely old people, who knows either way these people are not fit to govern and should be hanged at the next lamp post immediately. Also, fuck niggers, fuck kikes and most of all fuck jannies
That’s not an argument against widespread testing, but instead an argument in favor of devoting much more resources to the production of far more testing materials. For situations like this you WANT the public to get tested at the drop of a hat, just in case
Seattle wouldn't close its public schools until today because some black kids don't have a new computer for online education and it would interfere with their primary goal of closing the achievement gap.
I’m hung up on this too, how the fuck did we know how bad it was and our governments didn’t? Why the fuck do we even have them if not for this exact circumstance?
it is USA, duh. did you expect common sense in the levels of Mexico? lol
you are in Shithole
F
>Literally nobody is prepared because it's a unique and unexpected thing.
That is the wordmagic believer's excuse, but the truth is that "racist, sexist or disloyal troublemakers" have tried to warn for years, and have been punished for their "sins". After having seen the ones that was made examples of, the rest shut up, for the good of their careers or because they have children to feed.
