Coronavirus

[Ron Mexico]

I don’t buy this fully. I think our country is too big to compare to others directly like that. Hell even in CA you have a ton of cases in LA but our county not so much... yet they still shut **** down. We have followed the playbook... we have limited the spread... yet our good governor still feels it necessary to destroy the financial lives of thousands of families... it destroys any chance you have at getting compliance imo. It ain’t just money... it leads to divorce, depression, etc It will lead to a huge economic downturn... most of which will hurt those already poverty stricken.

USA didn't follow any playbook. They shut down some things and some people half *** followed it. Every place has done something different and didn't do the basic things that should have been done early to prevent shutting down. They have yet to properly test and quarantine people coming in to the country. My friend just flew from Beijing through Europe and to California and he walked right out the airport with no questions, no tests, no temp taken, she definitely no quarantine.

Americans and our government simply don't want to take responsibility because we feel too entitled as a culture.

Some more facts for you. Are you ready yet to admit that voter fraud isn't an issue as this number is a fraction of a fraction of the numbers you just posted?

This.
And a bunch of individual states governing themselves doesn't help either

Idk. What was his plan?
Btw, I think of the federal government as more than 1 person.

I'm okay with states giving guidance on local use of masks and prevention at county levels. States should not be accountable for larger national needs such as contact tracing and fighting for PPE.

The levels of federal government failure are deep and it's not all Donald's fault. However, like he said, when you're the boss, you're the accountable one.

Israeli Data Show School Openings Were a Disaster That Wiped Out Lockdown Gains

Of 1,400 Israelis diagnosed with COVID-19 last month, 657 (47 percent) were infected in schools. Now 2,026 students, teachers, and staff have it, and 28,147 are quarantined.

We could have had far better federal coordination, yes we could have. Instead, now the administration seems to be running a disinformation campaign. Federalism does not mean we are 50 independent nations. He could have used the Defense Production Act sooner. He did not have to downplay the virus over and over. My governor used the models used in nations like New Zealand. Other governors might have tried something similar. As far as more power, we needed a better response at the federal level, he could have exercised the power he already had.

Here is what a good job looks like, up to this point. And, if needed, she will shut down our Atlantic beaches again. She learned early she could not count on help from Trump, so she took charge. A Rhodes scholar, one smart woman. What did the Republican kiss-up-to-Trump governor of Florida do? He stood on the White House lawn and screamed at reporters for having suggested that his do-nothing strategy would hurt Florida. He carried on yelling at reporters like some kind of big shot. But, he’s nothing but a punk, just like the clown he supports....

How the Smallest State Engineered a Big Covid Comeback

When Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo realized that Washington wasn't going to be much help, she called CVS, Salesforce—and the bishop.

www.politico.com

“So how did Rhode Island do it? The short answer is Raimondo copied the playbook of nations like South Korea and New Zealand that have fared much better than the United States in battling the virus—intensive testing, tracing and isolation plus wear-your-damn-mask policy and messaging—while adding innovative twists through uniquely American public-private partnerships. It doesn’t hurt that Rhode Island is home to drugstore giant CVS, which is also the state’s largest employer; in part through help from the company, more than 25 percent of Rhode Islanders have been tested, many of them barbers, grocery clerks and other public-facing workers with no symptoms. She persuaded Salesforce to develop a state-of-the-art contact tracing app for Rhode Island for free, while working with Infosys on a location tracking feature and SurveyMonkey on symptom monitoring. Brown University has provided dorms for health care workers who want to remain isolated from their families. Raimondo was also one of the first governors to shut down schools and businesses, ban large businesses and require masks.”

His level of influence is significant. Imagine if he had told his supporters to take this seriously, wear masks, have patience through social distancing, called for financial assistance to workers and businesses, and let experts like Fauci inform the public (rather than hold those disastrous self-aggrandizing rallies where he suggested people inject Lysol).
