There are many things that could have happened that a normal leader would have done.
A short list…
Take an inventory of federal stockpiles of medical supplies and have them positioned to enter the supply chain where most needed.
Coordinate with the State and local governments as to a coordinated response to outbreaks.
Start the beginnings of a national tracing system so we can at least know where the virus is traveling
When initial tests came back as being flawed… something I don’t even blame the President for…work to insure that it didn’t take weeks to work out that mistake.
Prepare the nation for the reality that it could take sacrifice and pain to defeat the pandemic.
There was a ton of things that could have happened in February that could have lessened the blow to lives and the economy.
But instead we have the President trying to ■■■■■■■■ it away.
Instead the war time President is waving the white flag and we should just “live with it”
It’s happening a little. But shouldn’t wal mart be completely infected? Shouldn’t the majority of their employee’s be infected since they are in constant contact with the general public? How about gas station employee’s? Truck drivers? Refineries? Oil workers?
There’s no choice but to extend the enhanced unemployment. Even McConnell is making bleating loses that sound suspiciously like we’re gonna do another stimulus check and extend it.
The other option is economic apocalypse. Plus it would be bad for their election chances.
Yeah it’s almost like the refusal to adopt sensible policy basically wasted the last four months and now we’ve ended up in the worst of both worlds, a cratering economy and the outbreak expanding exponentially. Just like I predicted through my superpower of the obvious relation of cause and effect in March.
Actually I said back then it was problamatic. We have employers in my little town finding it hard to lure people to work because they are getting more on unemployment (with the extra 600 a week) than they would make working. That needs to go away. The 1200 to every person was problamatic. Needs to have more restrictions. The funding for businesses was problamatic.
The probles are because they needed something fast. Anything new needs to have problems fixed and all that.
Or let people go back to work.
Sure it is. Extra precautions and all that. Open back up. Funny how “protest” are allowed but no other large group gatherings in the Dem states.
How do you know widespread infections aren’t happening? Our business has remained open and half my sales staff has contracted it since March yet that information never made it into the news.
My best friend is a chef in Florida, seventy five percent of his staff has tested positive, he’s running the kitchen with him and one other guy and they can’t get their customers to wear masks or practice social distancing.
I may have to put him and his kids up in my crib for awhile. It’s getting that serious.
If Wally and that didn’t have employhee’s (aka infected) they would be closed. If truckers were infected shelves would be bare (now the funny part is walmart shelves are sparsley stocked, but I go to the independent grocer in town and they are fully stocked . . . . things that make you go hmmmmmm)
1k a person for the next 2 months (2k) total
in order to qualify for the money any state must have a mandatory mask policy with penalties for failure to wear one
