He can probably lay a few bricks. You seem to have a weird idea about killing expertise.
You and I both know he was listening to the advisers in place in the bureaucracy. Did he do everything they said to a “T”, I doubt it. Did he do as much as he thought he could? I think so. He certainly did a lot.
Could he have done some of it faster? With the advantage of hindsight; sure.
Did they have the advantage of hindsight in the heat of the situation? Of course not.
Do I believe Cuomo intentionally killed 8,000 nursing home patients? Of course not. Did they die because of the decisions he made? Probably.
Remember all the chatter about ventilators? Misunderstood the critical path. Do you think Trump came up with ventilators on his own?
In March, who in the government was focused on “deaths per day”? Nobody. They were all focused on “save the hospitals”, assuming if they had a bed, they could save the patient. Fauci is still doing it.
Remember “no one died for lack of a ventilator”? Ok, a bunch of people still died. What does that tell us?
Shutting down travel - can a President prevent US citizens from returning to the US? For how long.
The virus raging in China and I’m going to leave US citizens abandoned there to die? On what authority? I’m not even sure that’s legal. I don’t believe it has been adjudicated. Could they be quarantined on return? Probably. For how long and where? How do we separate the symptomatic from the non? Who takes care of them? When did we have reliable testing.
Now you will say contact tracing! They still would have been released into the population. It’s a virus. What are you going to do when, not if, they don’t follow the rules? If the lie? Don’t answer the phone?
Could things have been done better? Sure. Fauci could have not said “You don’t need a mask”
When he told the truth, Trump could have charged ahead with reinforcing the new directive.
We could have shut down travel of all kinds from everywhere and put the military on both borders. Put the Coast Guard and Squids in the water 13 miles out and turned every rowboat around.
We could have put GPS on all positives and shocked the ■■■■ out of them if they opened their doors. Or welded them in.
We could have put the nursing home people on the hospital ships or tents or something.
We could have shut down all mass transit. Shot anybody who protested.
There’s a bunch of things we could have done.
