A picture tells a thousand words

- 3 democracies run by women leaders- Germany, New Zealand and Iceland

Draw your own conclusions 

 

My conclusion is this.  1) You are charting 6 out of 195 countries so it is very limited.  2) It oversimplifies a very complex situation.

 

I know your conclusion shows that 2 out of 3 run by women show very low amount of cases.  First Germany seems relatively high and second what are the testing rates of the other two.  That is a VERY important variable in this wouldn't you agree?

We were warned five years ago... but Google it - do some research. I have also posted several links in the past; including today. 

 

Oh. You don’t say. 

Five years ago we were warned about Covid-19. 

And Trump, the non-President ignored the info. 

Got it.

Very good words by Obama.  He said some very good and spot things.  But what did he do about it?


We were warned... and Trumps response?

 

Video emerges showing Trump talking about cutting pandemic team in 2018, despite saying last week 'I didn't know about it'

Huh???  Seriously. You're pulling the racism card out?  WTF dude? 


Harder Jim - reach harder.

 

Who lives in Trumps head? Who has destroyed just about everything Obama accomplished? Who cheers Trump on?

 

THANKS TRUMP VOTERS

And there it is folks. I ask an honest question of:  What did Obama do about it? And the answer is.

 

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP.   YOU'RE A RACIST.  

 

It's getting real tiresome guys. 

 

So I'll say it again. Bravo on Obama for saying we need to get prepared.  And I'll ask it again @BillStime What did he do to prepare?

How much more could Obama warm us? He literally spelled it out - left a freakn blue print - and Trump threw it all away... and Americans died.

 

You really suck at this Jim

I suck?  No sir.  I asked a serious question. And I'll ask a third time seeing you have a hard time answering it.  I seriously want to know "what did Obama do to prepare us for this?"   And according to the video you linked it he talked about it back in 2004.  Great for having a vision.  But what did he do about it?

Obama left us a blue print.
 

And in the past 3.5 years into the Trump presidency - what has Trump done to prepare us for a pandemic besides golf?

 

* In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.

 

* In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.

 

* In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.

 

* In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.

 

* Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. 

 

* Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.

 

Trump destroyed our infrastructure and blamed Obama; just like you are inferring.

Again I ask about what Obama did and you come back with Trump Trump Trump!!!  He had two years after that speech (which again was insightful and spot on) to do something.  Ok he left a blue print. That’s great. What did it say?  What were the steps?
