I understand how this may work for you, if you actually don't pay attention to anything, and just invent false narratives like the rest of your clan.
Yes, we should do better. I blame it in part on our education system, the CDC and WHO.
Everything the CDC says is "wash your hands and cover your cough. Besides that no real public health advice comes from them.
You can drill it down to its most simplistic terms. They could have taken it seriously. They could have messaged consistently that it was serious. They could have impressed upon people support for taking steps recommended by health professionals to minimize spread. Trump didn’t have to push for things to reopen in April. He didn’t have to say it would be gone in no time. They did none of that. Nothing. And that’s just looking at their words.
Current WHO guidance for healthcare workers .......
It’s honestly hard to think of a more incompetent response to COVID in the entire developed world. He failed in every way it is possible to fail.
As for things Trump could have done better let’s go with the easy one - he could have not directly undermined public health measures like the closure of bars and restaurants.
Really, have you been in a coma since February or March? We had governors receiving clandestine shipments of PPE, and storing it under guard by state police in undisclosed locations to keep the fucking feds (Trump's feds) from confiscating it.Which States? I do understand the bidding war, but China basically horded masks. We had to have ventilators made at car manufacturers (IIRC).
So it was a challenge.
Lying about the virus "magically going away in April". When he said that I knew it wasn't true.Without using hindsight, what exactly has the Trump administration done that you disagree with?
We can go back decades, and to Democrat presidents if you want who signed free trade agreements that allowed companies like 3M to move their manufacturing offshore.
No one is innocent here. From Bill Clinton allowing China to join the world trade organization, to the senate ratifying free trade agreements that allowed drug companies to move offshore, to Nixon restoring relations with China, to Biden saying we need a strong China....... our government gave away our ability to respond to stuff like covid.
I feel Trump has done everything in his power to respond to covid, but it is never enough.
So what? You asked what the admin could have done differently. That’s what they could have done. It’s what they should have done. It’s what we in Canada did. Even our incredibly conservative premier of Ontario has been nothing but consistent in his messaging on COVID and how serious it is.Even people from the CDC and WHO downloaded the severity. Even to this day the WHO does not want COVID classified as airborne.
If you go to the CDC page, it cites WHO - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/non-us-settings/overview/index.html
We have had similar debates over the years, and as you have asked me in the past, I now ask you, be specific. Please provide exact examples.
Does Trump have the authority to tell local businesses to close?
Trump in numerous public statements that anyone can access argued against closing businesses. He could have not done that.Even people from the CDC and WHO downloaded the severity. Even to this day the WHO does not want COVID classified as airborne.

The question is 'have you looked at the per-capita numbers.Have you looked at per capita numbers?
That tells the true story.
lol we have 328 million people. Being 12th and 10th respectively is ok.
.. and what “sources” show different numbers?
Ohh. Who am I thinking of then? Ohh well, maybe he regularly saw a physician?
That medical press conference was tough to watch.
He is not on oxygen NOW. Does that mean you pulled the oxygen during this time and you are going to hook him back up?
He has been fever free for 24 hours. Wait, he had a fever yesterday.
He is getting daily ultrasounds and daily lab work. He has been in there less than a day.
What was his fever. I don't want to get into specifics. Why not?
What is today, Saturday. Umm, Thursday not oxygen, he is not on oxygen today and yesterday while we were all here he was not on oxygen. DUDE, that means he was getting supplemental oxygen on Friday!!!!!!!!!

@Retro Rob Zinfamous is likely a very high IQ person. He is like a fucking scientist or something.
High IQ people typically want to educate others likely because they are tired of hearing our dumb bullshit (notice how I said our).
Learn from him, you don’t have to agree. You are free to use feelings because those are exclusively yours and cannot be challenged.
Remember intellegence is a compounding type thing. Zinfamous is probably 16 times smarter than you and I combined. Particularly regarding maths and problem solving.
Learn from the guy who used to work for me.

I was specific and exact. Trump argued against public health measures like closing businesses.Please be specific and exact, you have provided one microscopic example of something you disagree with Trump on.
Got anything else?
None of those people are responsible for Trump’s incompetence.I would also like to know how you feel about how the past 40+ years of free trade agreements impacted our ability to respond to covid. Presidents Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama.... did more to hamper our response ability to covid-19 that anything Trump could have ever done. Then there are the senators who ratified those free trade agreements that allowed companies like 3M to move to China.
The most normal Trump WH thing to happen is an entirely different story leaking almost immediately after the official bullshit is poorly received.
I liked that movie.Anybody remember the movie "Dave"?
no no no; I'm an "idiot." Please don't pretend I am smarter than I am (and know that I am.)
...I am surrounded by vastly smarter people on any given day, however, and that matters.

Words and, especially, medical classifications have the same definitions that they have always had, and for very good reasons. There is a reason that Covid-19 is not classified as "airborne" because that actually means something. It really doesn't matter that you don't know, don't care, and clearly will give zero dicks about caring to learn what that means, but what you want it to be has absolutely no baring, and never will, on what it is.
Do you understand that?
This statement ties back to my earlier post about a low IQ guy who worked for me. He claimed if he was any stupider he would be retarded.
You like him know there are others around you who are smarter. Goal is to learn from them not say how stupid and shitty they are.
