I think leadership didnā€™t repond fast enough to the emerging threat. trump said at 15 cases, we had it contained. It would be zero soon. that doesnā€™t sound like a leader who is already speaking to statekholders about how to meet the coming challenge.

here is a piece that speaks to another problem. After running through a tabletop discussion of the government role in pandemic response, two thirds of the attendees are no longer in the trump administration.

No, some are. Some are picking up pine cones and painting rocks.

cite a source on that please

the travel ban was a good move.

But trump thought that was the only move necessary. He literally told us our 15 cases would go to zero soon.

He is too stupid or uninterested to understand he should have been working on MORE good moves - this is not a one move game. But I think we all realize heā€™s more of a tic-tac-toe guy that a chess player.

Their government didnā€™t get in the way.

That isnā€™t going to work.

They can go to work in the private sector, which is bailing out the GOVERNMENT!!

This is a logistics problem, not a lack of bureaucrats problem.

To, not about.

more or less than the 700B we just spent on QE?

Yet true. At least you havenā€™t yet.

Why didnā€™t a republican administration get out of the way then?

Itā€™s a leadership, priority and vision problem.

From what I have read, Trumpā€™s FDA certainly did. That is the nature of bureaucracies - not adaptable.

Just 3 short years agoā€¦

The Seattle vaccine was developed in confluence with NIH

Private sector!!

ā€œGun violenceā€

Why should it have before the outbreak?

It wasnt not trustedā€¦it was shunned for a test that was flawedā€¦

I did a google web search and it didnt bring up anything about trustā€¦

Also that as wellā€¦soā€¦Iā€™d just ignore the trust argument

Did it during 09-10 H1N1?
