If you need someone to tell you how to respond, you're proving what I said to be correct.

No one gave a shite about this virus in December

You are out of your mind. This will become everyone’s problem in Louisiana because there will be a mass exodus of businesses and residents that the state won’t be able to collect taxes on too.


That was already happening before the pandemic.

What does Biden have to do with any of this? Who cares what he thinks at this point.


Biden is the democrate’s representative to go against trump. So it makes perfect sense to compare and contrast their opinions as to how to handle this pandemic. Biden didn’t want to halt travel to and from China, and called trump a racist for doing so. Trump is accused of not taking this virus seriously enough, yet he did something that Democrats have said should not have been done. How can Democrat’s suggest trump doesn’t take this seriously enough when he did something they admitted they wouldn’t even consider as an option? Because Democrats are dumbasses.

Not to tell me how to respond you jackass but coordinate a national response to a national problem among the various sectors of the health care industry & to enact consistent public standards to limit the spread.

Maybe because the people tasked with analyzing such things were fired 2 years prior

This is some serious deflection

You don't want to talk about the actual response or lack thereof, by the actual president. But you DO want to talk about a hypothetical response by someone who is not the President

What has trump not done that would suggest that he is not handling this well?

Maybe if he hadn't fired the pandemic response team of all things 2 years ago we'd have been better positioned to coordinate and respond to this situation.


Wouldn’t have mattered anyways, china wasn’t allowing any outsiders in. No knowledge of the virus’ severity was allowed to be known until it was already out. But yes, blame trump.

Quick question, is the lack of face masks trumps fault?

I've had all I can handle of Nola. Just bought a house on the Northshore. Moving in hopefully by the end of the month.

He’s your representative, so let’s compare and contrast how Biden would have handled it as compared to how trump handled it.

You say trump didn’t take it seriously enough, yet he did something that your side has said isn’t an option.

Not only that, but your side defends China.

They are caught between a rock and a hard place at this point.

Either Trump did an amazing job and the death rate is significantly lower than it could have been, or

The virus was not as big of a deal as initially reported and their histrionics were founded on false information.

Still leaning towards the latter.

I literally talked about his response. Look back and see where I mentioned trumps banning of travel to and from China.

Again, every town, parish/county, and city will have financial problems after this is over with.

We will all have to deal with our own governments problems and should not have to bail out other dysfunctional cities problems.

New Orleans citizens need to deal with their problems.


Why should New Orleans which is a city of dysfunctional get bailed out?

Exhibit
A) building collapsed two dead people still inside one has a tarp over legs
B) sewer and water board enough said
C) High crime rates, high homeless rate, and parts of the city businesses have left no new businesses have replaced them. Example New Orleans East.

Why should I or any citizen that does not live in the City of New Orleans pay for problems caused by its citizens who elect incompetent people?

Nola could be in the hole five times that and it wouldn’t make a difference.

Even on a balanced budget the city doesn’t provide basic infrastructure or services to its citizens.

They shouldn’t.

This is their problem. It is a LA problem.

Everyone else in WI, MI, FL, NV, etc., should not have to contribute to pay for LA’s stupidity.

The mortality rate for the United States is around 3.5%.
The rest of the world’s mortality rate is 6%.

But yes, Trump is doing awful!!!

Lets start with the fact that he didn't do shite until mid March, about two months after it was known this had the potential to be a big problem.

You shouldn't. NO is constantly being bailed out. It's a standout in this country (with NY) as an epicenter to this bug.
