He gutted the infectious disease plans that previous administrations setup. He is far from blameless or just a guy who got a ton dumped on him. He did direct actions that prevented a better response.
People keep calling it political football, when has the CDC or Fauci say you don't need to wear a mask? Months ago when no one knew what was up. That is like taking census data from 30 years ago and applying it to now. Just because they said one thing at the initial stages doesn't make it a political football. You still have people now saying who are doing so for political means.
More like this isn't a political forum and the place that is has banned some here so they don't get a free ride. We don't care what your opinion is in the end because it's just that, an opinion and not fact nor law.
The 12k NAM is a bit better but I don't know if I buy the front being dragged so quickly East with no significant convection. The evolution of the model is right but I would take what happens overnight and tomorrow and drag it back West/Northwest about 100-200 miles.
I think the numbers across the country are proving that some restrictive shutdowns are necessary as the places that are highly populated but with a free for all are getting absolutely crushed right now.
What else would you call your comment of wasting money on payroll, you are viewing the workers for a business as nothing more than line items to be eliminated. It is those same workers that then don't have money to buy the products. This country has gone far away from the Henry Ford models where you pay a good wage so the workers can buy the products they make or services provided.
Not to mention a closed business does have quite the overhead an open business has, since they aren't paying workers for the most part. And in same cases they can run with less people and make more if they are a take out/delivery service.
That opportunity was there, but the current administration saw it fit for celebrities and in-laws to get the money first. Maybe you should take an issue with that.
