If they criticize President Trump’s response, they also have to criticize all of the world leaders who were also caught unprepared for this pandemic. They are calling the U.S. for help.

“Dr. Fauci declared this to be a hypothetical and minuscule threat in late February.”

And I ordered my virus defense supplies in late January.

“The Federalist” put together a nice compendium of Trump Administration actions in the early weeks of COVID-19.

Those AP hacks, as usual, are lying their little pink asses off.

When this is all over, in a perfect world a committee would be appointed composed of experts from outside of government who would look over the actions taken by the last few administrations relating to dealing with pandemics. Their purpose would be to identify things that went wrong, and recommending ways to correct and avoid them in the future, and things that were done right, and recommending ways to build on them and make sure they were followed in the future. But unfortunately this is not a perfect world and no such committee will ever be appointed because neither party will want to take the chance of their side looking bad.

Now they is know that up to 50% of cases are asymptomatic, all points to we don’t and didn’t know enough about this disease to comment on it.

Whoever manufactured this crap is an evil SOB.

It’s truly shocking to see how the AP went from being a fairly down the middle entity to one that pushes out opinion pieces couched as news.

Dear AP,

In 2015, the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law warned Andrew “Benito” Cuomo that New York was grossly unprepared for a pandemic. Rather than stock up on ventilators, N95 masks, and other essential health care supplies, Cuomo spent billions of dollars on free food, housing, education, and health care for illegal aliens.

With all the post-apocalyptic movies we've seen since the 60s, we were ripe for this panic. Covid-19 hit, and immediately our collective subconscious projects images from "The Walking Dead."

In 1938, Orson Welles narrated "War of the Worlds" on radio. Listeners thought it was a real time event, and they panicked.

We are such a simple minded species. Further proof of that is the ease with which Nancy Piglosi and Mad Max Waters can stay in office.

Fauci is a big Hillary Fan, and is in with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (see also the wargaming of a Coronavirus pandemic by Johns Hopkins in Oct 2019, and the *hem* "vaccinations" Gates wants to force on everyone.

Nothing in this article offers any counter / explanatory information nor is there a comment ability offered. That makes this an opinion / propaganda piece and needs to be identified as such. That the AP fails to do this self-identifies them.

A lot can be learned from the internet that destroys this LEFT MYTH that Trump is uniquely culpable for inaction. As late as the Democrat 2020 Presidential Debate at Charleston, SC, on 25 February, in 45 minutes between the 7 debaters, there was a mere 9 mentions of ‘virus’ even after a posed question on it! Here is a link to the transcript; https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3831971/posts

Hey, MICHAEL BIESECKER!
Have you finished digging a bomb shelter in your yard?
If not, you’ve wasted years preparing for WW III.
Have you fashioned an iron suit, to wear when crossing the street”
If not, you have wasted years preparing for the bus that’s going to run over you.
There are many things in life that we don’t go overboard preparing for.
