"Unprecedented response" to the pandemic.
Unprecedented only in its blindness and lethargy in the face of the threat.

"We are responding with great speed" good God.
And *again* with the travel restrictions and the quarantines. Those ceased to be a meaningful protection as soon as community spread had started. Which was before those measures were even announced.

Suspending all travel from Europe to the US. POINTLESS AND TOTALLY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
These measures are worse than useless. They distract and divert the efforts of public health officials who need to be protecting hospitals and seniors' homes.

Sweet Jesus they're still totally missing the point.
Sweet Jesus.
Sweet Jesus.

WHERE IS THE PLAN.
LAY OUT A PLAN.
Hand-washing is great BUT IT'S NOT A PLAN.

Sweet Jesus stop talking about the great economy.
I am shaking.

How will you prevent our hospitals looking like Lombardy?

"No nation is more prepared"
I can't even. We're not prepared at all.
I can't even. We're not prepared at all.
I am unspeakably angry.
That address was an abomination. It achieves nothing.
Travel bans are like locking the doors after the killer has already entered the house.
Economic support treats the symptoms not the disease.
I need a drink. This is horrid.

(neighbor reading my feed and texting with my wife to ask if I'm ok)
(I am. But also kinda not.)

As I said last night...
State and local leaders will need to take charge.
And we ourselves will need to take charge.
The President is checked out and flailing.
