Suck it, anti-American Dim wits

quote:

The United States was ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in late 2019 by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS) -- an assessment seemingly at odds with claims by Democrats that the Trump administration left the country vulnerable to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The Global Health Security Index was was "developed with guidance from an international panel of experts from 13 countries, with research by the Economist Intelligence Unit" from 2018 to 2019, The Washington Post reported last year. "More than 100 researchers spent a year collecting and validating publicly available data.”

No. Democrat policies on open borders would account for that.

Here is the argument to be made:
“America was the best prepared due to our brave federal government, however Trump fumbled the response so badly, the US is now the worldwide epicenter”

Instead of downvoting, I'll go with calling you a count.

For comparison, here is WaPo's take on the study LINK:

quote:

The United States does well in five of six preparedness categories but ranks 19th — after Australia, Canada, Singapore and more than a half-dozen European countries — in an assessment of overall risk and vulnerability to biological threats. The factors driving down the U.S. score include the risks of social unrest and terrorism, and low public confidence in government. Liechtenstein ranked No. 1 on this measure.


Nowhere in their article do they say (as concluded in the study) that US was ranked #1 overall.

You should get your application in to John Hopkins ASAP. I’m sure you’re more than qualified. Lolololol

We are the third most populous country in the world too...

And a country that has, so far and likely throughout, been unwilling to beat its citizens in the streets and then weld them inside their homes.
