What's Trump's fault is proposing a 19% cut to the CDC, including cuts to public health scientific services, public health preparedness and response programs and global health programs; as well as cuts to epidemic prevention programs in 39 out of 49 countries, *including China.*
What's Trump's fault is sewing doubt re: the severity of the virus, using the word "hoax" at events (including ones WHERE THE VIRUS WAS BEING SPREAD), when he should've been warning people (especially older & immunodeficient ppl) to avoid crowded areas, unnecessary contact, etc.
What's Trump's fault is pretending it was contained to avoid political fallout; teasing tax cuts to avoid political fallout; leaving a cruise ship full of Americans at sea for days to avoid political fallout.
What's his fault is focusing on his political future over our lives.
