I think its worse than people thought it would be, to some degree. Also, theres a fine line between informing the public to prepare and inciting panic.

Things like these definitely sort the good leaders from the bad ones.

[ousdahl]

where's the line between informing the public and treating a virus like it's just another mistress to keep quiet?

[PhDhawk]

We're all mistresses now.

[ousdahl]

careful PhD, that's the kind of talk that violates an NDA....

[ousdahl]

what would have been an appropriate measure to inform the public?

say in January, potus comes out and tells us there's a viral outbreak, here's how it works and who it threatens most, here's how we can prevent it, so we're implementing actual screening of travelers returning from hotbed areas, and encouraging and making available ubiquitous testing of anyone who thinks they may be infected or has even been exposed. So let's all be aware and have an idea of social distancing and refresh some concept of personal hygiene, so we can hopefully stay ahead of this and not shut the whole damn country down.

I wonder how that would have gone. How far would that have gone? Or does everyone still hoard the TP?

Cuz I def don't think Mericans would have bought into it if in January potus said, we're asking y'all to reconsider all nonessential travel. Shit, how many Mericans didn't even reconsider that when THE PANDEMIC WAS ALREADY OUT OF HAND, and besides, we've had this trip planned for weeks, woo! #SpringBreak2020

but yeah, I just think there could have been much improvement on what instead was just "yeah it's 15 cases but within a couple days it'll be zero, you hear otherwise and it's just another fake news hoax, cuz I'm once again crediting myself for doing a terrific job #maga

Trump administration changes definition of national stockpile after Kushner remarks

https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... X_EJRcLgPY

The Trump administration quietly changed an online description of the country's Strategic National Stockpile following a press briefing with White House advisor Jared Kushner.

Previously, according to the federal public health emergency website, the Strategic National Stockpile was described as "the nation’s largest supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out."

The description continued: "When state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency."

That definition disappeared from the site on Friday.

The new, one paragraph description says the stockpile is meant as a “short-term stopgap.”

Mrs 99 is listening to this moran now.
"We were not prepared because Obama.
Our military had no ammunition because of Obama."

ONCE AGAIN.....
I sit and watch the President's presser and I shake my head thinking we have one of the most incompetent leaders (and his advisors) in the world - and we're supposed to be the "greatest" country?
Why in God's name am I constantly able to call out our President and his advisors on either their bull-shit or their idiocy? FUCK DONALD TRUMP! He's a complete piece of shit!

[jhawks99]

Had to turn it, he's now congratulating himself on providing thousands of ventilators.

So much flip flopping going on and MIND BLOWING after they bragged that they were prepared for an inevitable pandemic - just not THIS pandemic.

This mother fucker whines like a bitch when he (or Jared) are rightfully called out and yet he's the king of the blame game and has zero problem calling other people out. The hypocrisy is unreal!

[Geezer]

I don't take responsibility at all.

I don't take responsibility at all.

Bad = No responsibility.
Good = I AM THE GREATEST! LOOK AT ME! I'M #1!

[Deleted User 289]

What the fuck is he talking about? When you use your credit card you have a picture? WHAT?

[seahawk]

States were supposed to STOCK UP.

Trump is holding back supplies because the Federal Government needs supplies.

But just to let you all know, NO MAIL IN BALLOTS. We want all those elderly volunteers out there at the polls on Nov. 3, because MAIL IN BALLOTS ARE EVIL.

I don't usually watch these, just happened to turn the TV on, but it was unbelievable.

How does it feel to be a Trump supporter? Just asking the general question.
