“States won’t help each other”

The stupidity threshold is seriously being tested.

America has a federalist system of government

Except all the times after hurricanes and floods where they did.

I have to admit, I laughed at the "preppers" but I bet they're feeling pretty good about their stockpiles about now.

A couple of weeks ago he said 15 cases in the US would be at zero. It is ok to admit he has not handled this as perfectly as his phone call with Ukraine.

e’re getting destroyed by what Germany, Japan, and South Korea are doing

And Italy.. Yet that dumb son of a bitch got on TV last night saying how we are handling this better than anyone in the world..

The testing has been a royal frick up, but some of you expect magic to happen when at this point it cannot

If congress/WH could somehow produce more tests, they would have already done so

The cdc has a lot of explaining to do.

I hope this leads to serious reforms

Should he have come out with doom predictions and statements that we are failing?

Keeping people calm is the correct course of action.

This is false news

Fact-check.org

As the COVID-19 disease caused by the new coronavirus has spread around the world, a number of politicians, news organizations and public figures have made the false claim that the Trump administration cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s anti-pandemic work in over 40 countries to just 10. The CDC told us that’s not true.

The claim appears to have been based solely on outdated news reports from early 2018 that said the CDC was preparing to dramatically reduce its work helping to prevent infectious-disease epidemics. Those reports said much of that work on the Global Health Security Agenda, a pact between over 60 nations that began in 2014, had been funded by a five-year, nearly $600 million supplemental package that was dwindling. That one-time funding, which Congress originally appropriated in response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2014, ran out at the end of September 2019.

The director of the CDC’s Center for Global Health did say at the time that, without additional funding, its Division of Global Health Protection “will have to scale its global health security portfolio to focus efforts based on existing resources,” as the Wall Street Journal first reported in January 2018. If that happened, the official said the CDC would shift its focus to just 10 “priority countries” and “plan for the completion of its country-based programs” in 39 other nations, the Journal’s story said.

Those hypothetical cuts were avoided, however, because Congress later provided more funding for the CDC’s global health programs, the CDC told us in a statement.

Ask yourself WHY people refuse to do simple fact checks before believing a serious claim?

Because they WANT to believe the claim.
