Some thoughts on COVID-19

1. Trump says a lot of stupid shit

2. COVID-19 and it's initial deadly spread are 100% due to the policies & dishonesty of China

3. China's actions & cover-ups expose the risks of economic dependence the US and many countries have with that country

4. The WHO and other corrupt international organizations are run by the same criminals that these organizations were intended to protect us from. Any future appeals to their authority will fall on deaf or highly skeptical ears.

5. No country is or ever was ready to handle a pandemic. Some are better equipped to respond & mitigate due to immigration policies, healthcare infrastructure, demographics and other factors.

6. Saying that the US should have been ready with test kits before the outbreak is a give away that you don't know what you're talking about

7. The main US responding organization is the CDC, they made mistakes and have been transparent about that.

8. Neither President Trump or a President Hillary would have had any direct impact in preventing the CDC's mistakes. And, I think we can all agree that the President shouldn't be overriding the CDC's decisions, regardless of party.

9. In fact, despite the missteps, what you're seeing about as effectively as government works. Comments to the contrary have the full benefit of hindsight and are made by armchair generals. The expectation of perfection is insanity, and they all know that.

10. The media has acted disgracefully throughout this entire episode. They continue to reveal themselves as partisan activists and have little use for honest reporting. Some of their stories defy logic if not basic math.

11. Having said that, see #1

12. This is a time for Americans to come together to fight a common threat. Watch for those who only attack and resist but never help to heal, they are truly our enemies.
