Welp. Ocean mart is nuts rn. I didnt make it to Chinatown.Baek ri hyang is my wife's place to go since it has some Korean stuff that's hard to do at home like jajangmyeon, Jjambbong (korean-chinese food btw, yeah) and like Ugeoji Galbitang. CY noodle has gone off a cliff and my kids really like one more noodle house. Chickqueen but Utah really needs an upgrade in the Korean Friend Chicken genre. That and the place in AF are the only chicken places from here to vegas so I still get it sometimes.
If I see you I'm definitely saying that to your wife. JK
I don't think any president is an expert here and I don't blame them for a virus that is world renowned.
In the St. Louis Metro East, no shortages, no school closings. Business as usual.
People using this as a reason to auto criticize Trump are ****ing pathetic human beings. You're better off avoiding them.
Testing and treatment for the virus now appear to have shifted to the private sector, which is a good move since CDC showed itself to be slow and ineffective.
How about the people making carefully considered, relevant points, like Trump's reduction in staff at the CDC?
Sounds like a false claim.
-The time to criticize response is not at the very beginning of a new, rapidly developing issue. No **** it won't be handled perfectly to every single person's liking.
-We won't know of anything was bungled until after.
-Do you really think Trump is mangling things? Not doing as his advisors and heads of various beauracracies recommend? That's laughable.
-As far as the CDC goes, it was pathetic of Trump to criticize them the way he did.
Unlike in 2012, when the CDC response was swift and effective. It's almost as if when you put people in charge of government who believe government should be dismantled, the government becomes less effective.
Sounds like a false claim.
-Do you really think Trump is mangling things? Not doing as his advisors and heads of various beauracracies recommend? That's laughable.
What did the CDC do in 2012? Give people flu shots?
Do you mean 2009?It declared a health emergency much earlier in the process, for a start.

The Washington Post reported that former National Security Adviser John Bolton dissolved the NSC’s Office of Global Health Security and Biodefense in May 2018 in a reorganization effort. That’s when Rear Adm. R. Timothy Ziemer, who was senior director of the office, left his post. He was not replaced.
...
Contrary to some recent news reports, Bossert was replaced with a series of people, but the job of coordinating a pandemic response does not appear to have followed. When Trump announced his coronavirus task force on Jan. 29, he did not name current homeland security adviser Julia Nesheiwat in any capacity.
...
But the lack of someone in the White House to coordinate the response to a widespread disease outbreak in the U.S. is something numerous experts and groups at the time had cautioned against.
Yes, I think Trump started off not doing as his advisers and heads of various bureaucracies recommended.
