🚨US intel agencies issued ominous, classified warnings in Jan/Feb about the risk of the #coronavirus causing a global #pandemic, yet @realDonaldTrump & the @GOP played down the threat & failed to act.

INACTION = more people DIE.🤬

Intelligence agencies “have been warning on this since January,” and intel reports were disseminated to members of Congress and their staffs and to the Trump administration.

I also have been warning about this #coronavirus for 2 MONTHS, and Trump & the GOP did NOTHING.🤬
“Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it. The system was blinking red.”

Trump’s INACTION on the #CoronavirusPandemic will COST AMERICAN LIVES.🤬

#coronavirus #COVID19
US intel warnings increased in late Jan/early Feb, and the “majority of the intelligence reporting included in daily briefing papers and digests from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence & the CIA was about #COVID19.”

I called for testing starting in JANUARY.🤬
🔥”The surge in warnings coincided with a move by @SenatorBurr to sell dozens of stocks worth btwn $628,033—$1.72 million. As Senate Intel Chair, Burr was *privy to virtually all of the highly classified reporting on #coronavirus.”

Burr saved his fortune, but NOT American lives.
Trump on 2/19: “I think it’s going to work out fine...when we get into April in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on...that type of virus.”

5 days later he tweeted: “The #Coronavirus is very much under control...Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
Trump on 2/10, after the 1st US #COVID19 cases were confirmed: “I think the virus is going to be—it’s going to be fine.”

2/14: We have a very small number of people...It’s like ~12. Many of them are getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape.”
Trump’s failure to act in response this deadly #pandemic, despite REPEATED warnings, will go down as one of the greatest presidential FAILS in history.

INACTION = more people DIE.🤬

⚠️New report describes characteristics of 3,200 patients in #Italy who died from #COVID19.

Symptoms at time of hospital admission:

▶️Fever 76%
▶️Dyspnoea (shortness of breath) 73%
▶️Cough 40%
▶️NO symptoms 5.7%

h/t Dr. @trishgreenhalgh #coronavirus
Consistent with other reports, older patients (>70 yo) comprise the vast majority of deaths. Rationing of healthcare in #Italy may have skewed these numbers even higher.

Note the STRIKING disparity between the number of men🔵 >> women🔴 who died from #COVID19.

#coronavirus
This disparity in #COVID19 mortality between men >> women in #Italy was also seen in #China.

Analysis of 44,672 #coronavirus patients in #China: of those who died, 63.8% were men vs. 36.2% women with case-fatality rates of 2.8 vs 1.7%, respectively.

If you think it’s bad that there’s no toilet paper in the store, then imagine a hospital with no doctors.

Our doctors are putting their lives on the line to fight this deadly #coronavirus, and NO ONE is making sure they they’re protected.

Important thread by @drdanchoi.👇🏼
I’ve spoken with doctors all over the country, and they are quietly echoing the same sentiments as Dr. Choi. While they want to help their patients, they are worried about being exposed—day after day—to this deadly #coronavirus.

One oncologist at a prestigious #cancer center told me that she was NOT allowed to wear her N95 mask (that SHE bought!) while seeing patients. Why? “You are being hysterical.”

WTH? She cares for #cancer patients—HIGH risk for serious #COVID19—who LOVE her wearing a mask.

⚠️Doctors warn that #anosmia (loss of sense of smell) and #ageusia (diminished sense of taste) have emerged as peculiar telltale signs of #COVID19 and are possible markers of #coronavirus infection.

In #Wuhan, ENT and eye doctors DIED in large numbers.

nytimes.com/2020/03/22/hea…
U.K. physicians cite reports from other countries indicating that significant numbers of #coronavirus patients experienced #anosmia: in #SouthKorea, 30% of 2,000 patients who tested positive for #COVID19 had anosmia as their major presenting symptom (these were MILD cases).💥
A high rate of transmission of #COVID to ENT doctors has been reported from #China, #Italy and #Iran, many resulting in DEATH.

In the "hot zone" of New Rochelle NY, patients who had first complained of #anosmia later tested positive for the #coronavirus.🧐

U.S. intelligence reports from January and February warned about a likely pandemic washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus while President Trump and lawmakers played down the threat and failed to take action that might have slowed the spread of the pathogen
The intelligence reports didn’t predict when the virus might land on U.S. shores or recommend particular steps that public health officials should take, issues outside the purview of the intelligence agencies.

NEW: US intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in Jan and Feb about a likely global coronavirus pandemic as Trump and GOP lawmakers called the virus a hoax and failed to take action that might have slowed its spread and saved lives.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
By January, “the system was blinking red” but “Trump’s advisers struggled to get him to take coronavirus seriously.”

Azar spoke to Trump about the virus on Jan 18 but “Trump interjected to ask when flavored vaping products would be back on the market.”
“US intel reports painted an early picture of a virus that showed characteristics of a globe-encircling pandemic that required governments to take swift actions to contain it.

But Trump continued to play down the threat coronavirus posed to Americans.”washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Me too, he desperately wants/needs narcissistic supply from feigned altruism b/c everybody already knows he’s a sociopath with a huge body count. Vetoing a comprehensive #COVID19 bill (*if Grim Reaper Mitch even lets it get passed in the Senate) would only enrage America further.
Plus there’s this. A narcissist/sociopath doesn’t mind how crass this sounds, and Trump knows full well that his most fervent supporters STILL don’t blame him for his incompetence or malfeasance. In Fox/MAGAt world the crisis didn’t actually start until DT “took charge” on 3/13.
The worst thing Trump/the @GOP have going for their “none of the shitty pandemic response is Trump’s fault and he, alone, can still fix it” narrative™️ is the public will now have plenty of free time in quarantine to watch them keep creating more disasters that fail humanity.

This thread is dedicated to #coronavirus / #Covid19 information. The full name is "2019 novel Corona virus", shortened to 2019-nCoV & Covid-19. Its name comes from the crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus that resemble flares in the sun's corona.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic diseases, meaning that humans become infected by animals that have the disease. Scientists speculate that #Covid19 may have originated from Chinese bats or ant-eating pangolin. It is possible the virus crossed multiple animals before infecting humans.
Dozens infected in the #Covid19 outbreak worked in a Wuhan animal market, but tests of #coronavirus samples from the market have yet to identify a source. The close proximity of shoppers to animals in wet markets has made them breeding grounds for zoonotic diseases in the past.

This is our future: countries w/ close ties to Beijing play down threat of #coronavirus. "Some governments have either played down the threat of the epidemic or openly worried about offending a superpower whose economic heft can propel their economies."nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…
Philippine President Duterte, "who has brought the Philippines closer to China while distancing it from the United States, said there was no reason to bar visitors from mainland China, bringing a barrage of criticism from local medical experts."
Even high-levl officials promote folk remedies. After FaceBook user in Myanmar wrote widely read tribute to onions as way to prevent transmission of #coronavirus, chief min U Myint Mg,shared on FB:"Chinese govt announcd people shld consume & hv on hand as many onions as they can”
