STAT interviewed more than a dozen physicians and scientists around the country, and one after another, they leveled strikingly similar critiques at both the federal and local levels: That the Trump administration neglected scientists and public health experts and downplayed the severity of the disease, helping stoke a spread of misinformation. That many state leaders, toeing party lines, were too paralyzed to act in a timely fashion. And that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, once a venerable institution, bungled a critical component of pandemic control —
But instead of using a ready-made test developed by the World Health Organization, the CDC opted to create its own. The CDC test malfunctioned, leading to a series of delays. Nearly three months later, it’s still a fraught and time-consuming process to get a coronavirus test in most parts of the country.

Listening to whenever Trump rants, I flashback to this soliloquy:
"Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don't listen to him. Remember that—do not listen."
— Father Merrin, The Exorcist

Today he's back ranting about his tv ratings for the third day in a row. Would be nice to have a President who cares about people's lives more than his television ratings.

My heart cries out for all the doctors, nurses and staff putting their lives on the line on the front lines. They deserve so much better than this. I hope those who aren't brainwashed (the brainwashed are beyond help) will come to realize who is most responsible for this debacle and vote accordingly come November.

Trump cultists will not change. When I reached him via a Zoom video call, Steve Hassan, a mental health professional and cult expert, started nodding immediately when I asked if he saw parallels between, say, the Jonestown Massacre and Trump’s willingness to put the elderly on a near literal chopping block. www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/04/trump-death-cult/

A bunch of rich folks willing to sacrifice a bunch of poor and middle class folks to save their balance sheets. A President who looks like he's leaning that way.

Trump consistently ignored the warnings and advice of experts and here are the *emails to prove it.

Alex Azar has been run over by the Presidential motorcade, can't be surprised seeing that the President told us that he accepts no responsibility...

Who's surprised???
The list of ways Trump failed us during this crisis is seemingly endless.

But to Trump and his supporters, the fact that he said all of the above was enough. If it comes to fruition, it was his idea. If it doesn't, it was someone else's fault.
No substance. No accountability. No problem.
