OK, let’s be blunt. We knew this was going to be a pandemic in January. We have done nothing to ramp up production of protective suits for medical personnel, only today getting the defense department to step up to provide more facilities and tests. Incompetent and corrupt. 1/
It is almost impossible to have confidence in any of the people who are running things in this administration. These press conferences are a joke, with a president more concerned about his poll ratings and hitting Joe Biden as sleepy than swift and appropriate action. 2/
And the people he has arrayed behind him dissembling and offering praise for Dear Leader even as they sneak in constructive information. Fauci is an exception, even though he in accurately said there would be 1 million tests. I won’t exempt Congress here. 3/
The bailouts are wasteful and not targeted where they really should be. And there is not enough to ensure we have adequate medical personnel and are both paying and protecting them. But at least now we are seeing some effort to ameliorate the problems. 4/
If and when this catastrophe eases, we need the equivalent of a 9/11 commission to do a deep dive into how we could have blown this so badly, resulting in unnecessary loss of lives. And pointing to the blame where it belongs without fear or favor. 5/
