Trump has done *nothing* to prepare America for this.
He's endangered us all.
And yesterday he was in India saying that the coronavirus is a problem that'll "go away," and that the *main thing of importance* is that the stock market drop isn't his fault. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

NBC: "Americans [must] prepare for disruptions to their daily lives, including school closings, working from home and delayed elective medical procedures, as efforts to contain and control the possible spread in the US may accelerate in the coming weeks." And Trump did *nothing*.
NBC (2): "This means that business leaders should start considering who can work from home. Perhaps the time will come, experts said, to observe religious practices and ceremony at home, rather than larger community gatherings at places of worship." And Trump did *nothing*.
NBC (3): "Families should start asking themselves how they'd handle a week or two at home, without traveling for food, medicine or entertainment."
And Trump has done *nothing*.
Millions of us saw—long ago—that having a *man-child* as POTUS would end up costing lives. He we are.

PS/ Worse still, Trump *harmed* preparation efforts by spreading *disinformation* about the virus and falsely downplaying its danger. When he did the *same thing* re: election security, half of America didn't care because they *want* stolen elections. Do you care *now*, everyone?
PS2/ America will pay the price for the selfishness of Trump's staunchest supporters for decades to come. They thought of how good "owning the libs" would feel, never caring about the long-term effects of having a *child* president. And now, how it'll feel is like dead Americans.
PS3/ Keep in mind, we've *already* seen the effect, not least of which is 200 US service members with TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) who wouldn't have had them if not for Trump's *stunning* decision—which almost *no one* at the Pentagon supported—to nearly start a war with Iran.
PS4/ We've seen the effect in farm bankruptcies, higher costs on goods (a tax), a drop in numerous quality-of-life measures, a coarsening of our public discourse, and much else. And all of it because some selfish, immature Americans wanted to see how "owning the libs" would feel.
PS5/ When the coronavirus slams into the U.S. in full force, that itself won't be Trump's fault. But we've already seen enough from him—and his administration full of "acting" officials with political agendas—to know a percentage of the lives to be lost can be laid at their feet.
PS6/ Trump's disinformation machine is already in high gear to ensure he gets *no* blame for whatever happens. Why do you think Limbaugh—who Trump gave a Presidential Medal of Freedom to—is falsely calling this a Chinese attack? So all US deaths will be blamed on China—not Trump.
PS7/ My advice to everyone is to educate yourself—with reliable sources in major media—about what's already happened and what we can reasonably (and rationally) expect here in America. But *also* hold Washington's feet to the fire—especially Trump—for our preparedness/lack of it.
