What is the plan?

How many months/weeks/days has it been since o d held one of his administration's coronavirus task force presser?

No problem, Uncle Joe has a plan. His people have not told him yet what the plan is. Joe may not be able to comprehend what the plan is. There is a plan. Maybe Chuck Schumer should be put in charge of the plan. To the best of my knowledge the plan is to blame trump for not having a plan. That is quite the plan. You can call it the passing the buck plan.

"Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response
As it improvises its way through a public health crisis, the United States has never been less prepared for a pandemic.

The epidemic control efforts unfolding today in China—including placing some 100 million citizens on lockdown, shutting down a national holiday, building enormous quarantine hospitals in days’ time, and ramping up 24-hour manufacturing of medical equipment—are indeed gargantuan. It’s impossible to watch them without wondering, “What would we do? How would my government respond if this virus spread across my country?”

For the United States, the answers are especially worrying because the government has intentionally rendered itself incapable. In 2018, the Trump administration fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command, including the White House management infrastructure. In numerous phone calls and emails with key agencies across the U.S. government, the only consistent response I encountered was distressed confusion. If the United States still has a clear chain of command for pandemic response, the White House urgently needs to clarify what it is

If the United States still has a clear chain of command for pandemic response, the White House urgently needs to clarify what it is—not just for the public but for the government itself, which largely finds itself in the dark."

because this is taking a pandemic seriously. Also from Feb. 2.

great stuff, re-reading all your (collective) comments.

How smug you are are/were. So sure, from day 1, that it's ALL his fault.

Well, at least, from Feb. 2 on......

At this time the rate in China is 3.4%, Italy is 2.6% and South Korea .9%. A lot of China's death occurred with early cases when China was just plain unprepared. Italy is in the early stages of fighting the virus and it is probably not surprising that their mortality rate is still pretty high. South Korea is probably the best example of a modern "western country" fighting the virus for a long enough period for mortality rate to stabilize. This is still 20 times the mortality rate of the average annual flu (and about 10 times the mortality rate of this years flu season). This amounts to 900 deaths for every 100,000 infected as opposed to the average annual flu of 50 deaths for every 100,000 infected (in the US).

Annually the flu kills about 20,000 (on average) in the US. Some years as high as 50,000.

I agree you can spread around the blame. But in the end, the President is the legally-authorized person to most meet the demands of a crisis, "foreign and domestic." You want to dilute the pool of the blameworthy -- OK. But the holder of that office not only gets Harry Truman's maxim tossed at him, he has the legal powers to meet the moment. This President didn't, won't and, in terms of his priorities and character, probably can't.

The Governors by and large seem to have done the work, and some have done better than others. My Governor, a Republican, has done a very good job, under conditions that weren't as fraught with difficulty as many other states. But he and his cohorts in the GOP would tell you privately that the federal government's failures center largely on the Executive Branch's inability and unwillingness to meet the moment.

So, we should NOT find out what the heck Dr. Fauci, and those that reap the rewards of Bayh-Dole act, have been doing with our money?

Because, just by asking this, I am defending tRump.....huh?

All day, every day, those pretend liberals, Speaker Nancy, AOC, etc......should be screaming about the lack of financial oversite for the trillions that has all but vanished. Protests should be about this too......but, we know why.

Sure. Go for it. But you're forgetting that people get into politics to do good. They STAY for decades to get rich and line their pockets.

I can tell you. Gonna be a lot of people getting rich on all the vaccines that are coming out...that will very likely be useless.
