Not to sound like a broken record, but ---
Trump is incompetent:
Trump is blaming Obama for lack of Personal Protective Equipment to combat the coronavirus, but his administration sent tons of vital US supplies to China.Trump is deliberately withholding aid from states:
. . .
According to a press release from the State Department, the US gave 17.8 tons of supplies including ventilators and masks to China.
In Massachusetts, where there are major outbreaks around Boston and in the state’s western Berkshire County, only 17 percent of requested resources have been shipped out. Maine has received about 5 percent of what it has requested, and Colorado has received about a day’s worth of supplies, according to the Post.
On Sunday, Michigan’s Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on Meet the Press to say that her state received 112,000 masks from the national stockpile Saturday, but that even with that number, “We’re going to be in dire straits again in a matter of days.”
President Donald Trump has been critical of Whitmer’s requests for aid, and her criticism of his administration’s response, referring to her as “the woman in Michigan.” By contrast, he has praised Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, where Trump resides, and that state has received multiple shipments of everything it has requested, and is awaiting another, according to FEMA data.Trump is an abomination. He will get one thing we wants, however: He will always be remembered in our history --- albeit as a corrupt, stupid villain.
I'm glad I spent an enjoyable weekend with my kids, because reality is horrifying, and it's only going to get worse. The lone bright spot at the moment is that apparently COVID19-related deaths in the U.S. are up only slightly from yesterday --- a mere 4.6%. Unfortunately, I suspect that's just a delay in reporting, and so we'll an unusually large spike in reported deaths tomorrow.
Stay home, stay safe, maintain social distance.
