Politicians in South Korea stayed out of the covid 19 response & left it to scientists and professionals.
South Korea ramped up production of PPE in February and rolled out a national plan for testing, contact tracing & isolation. Meanwhile, Trump was lying to us but giving Bob Woodward the facts.
Nancy Messonnier rang the alarm early on in February saying parents should ask their children’s schools about closures; businesses should consider telecommuting options to their employees, & hospitals might need to look into expanding telehealth services. statnews.com/2020/02/25/cdc…
While other countries were testing thousands of people per day in February, the USA was testing only hundreds. We had community spread but were only testing people who traveled from China.

I still remember that airport debacle when Trump banned travel from Europe. #TotallyUnderControl
Supply chain was a known problem since production shifted overseas years ago for not only ingredients for drugs but also PPE. #TotallyUnderControl

I knew about the incompetence of the Trump administration that led thousands of people to die from covid 19 but seeing so much more of the behind the scenes warnings that Trump ignored is infuriating. #TotallyUnderControl
Watching Max Kennedy explain how disastrous the "procurement" team was, led by Jared Kushner, is making my blood pressure rise. They made them sign NDAs & had multiple TVs playing Fox News. The team purchased not one n95 mask.

I still can't believe Trump forced states to compete for PPE like Hunger Games. He's a disgusting excuse for a human being. #TotallyUnderControl
Taxpayers already gave $70.5 million to Gilead to develop Remdesivir & they have the audacity to charge $3,000 per patient for a $10 dose.

I'm confident in a Biden/Harris win but woke up enraged. It's going to take at least 16 years to get the USA back on a positive trajectory because of Donald. Covid 19 can be contained, hopefully by 2021 but the racism & xenophobia he made mainstream will linger. People chose him. ImageImageImageImage
Republicans didn't want to stop Trump. "They knew he was a merciless narcissist, without empathy or compassion. They knew he was corrupt & dishonest. They chose him anyway" because they wanted minority rule of a diverse electorate with white men in control
usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
Trump had all the information needed to contain covid but instead decided to let people die since it impacted predominantly Black & brown people. Trump knew a covid 19 surge was coming in rural areas but he hoped it would hit after November 3. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f…

Trump discovered a lucrative new revenue stream: people who wanted something from the president. An investigation by NYT found over 200 companies, special-interest groups & foreign governments that patronized his properties while reaping benefits from him. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"Individuals, groups and companies that patronized a Trump property and had business before the administration are represented by dots. Arrows show the flow of money to Mr. Trump by way of his properties." Image
"Just 60 customers with interests at stake before the Trump administration brought his family business nearly $12 million during the first two years of his presidency, The Times found. Almost all saw their interests advanced, in some fashion, by Mr. Trump or his government." Image

@AdamInHTownTX @4everNeverTrump @JustinGrayWSB Or we could just have cops pretend Black people who assault them or steal their tasers are White. None of them quit after White men embarrassed them. All I have to say. In January: A suspect steals cops taser. He is still alive. whio.com/news/crime--la…
@AdamInHTownTX @4everNeverTrump @JustinGrayWSB In February/ DUI & took officer’s tasers. He is still alive. ydr.com/story/news/cri…
@AdamInHTownTX @4everNeverTrump @JustinGrayWSB September 2019. He was drunk, resisted arrest, took officer’s taser. He is still alive. lehighvalleylive.com/bethlehem/2019…

@KosherSoul Good idea since so many people don't know the Civil Rights Movement was far from peaceful. Some have a whitewashed idea of what happened when cops & white citizens turned violent against peaceful protesters. History is repeating. ImageImageImageImage

It's been a crazy morning going over legal documents to determine rights since businesses closing by order of governors. I came across this Y2K language & was reminded that there were so many IT professionals working behind the scenes that some people said Y2K was a hoax (thread)
since they didn't know IT professionals who worked on Y2K for several years prior by editing & scrubbing code to make sure we noticed no changes. Software applications with 2-digit years were replaced or altered if fixable. Some people are now saying coronavirus is a hoax despite
the rising positive cases & rising death toll. We could have been prepared but Trump fired everyone on the pandemic response team in 2018 & kept downplaying it & said it was a Democratic hoax. Taiwan prepared & has only 59 cases with 1 death. nbcnews.com/health/health-… #TrumpPlague

I woke up early on my day off to move my SUV (alternate side parking) & am still pissed off that Michael Bloomberg has the audacity to be running as president. For anyone who doesn’t think broken windows policing that targeted black & Hispanic people for minor crimes with stop &
frisk caused any harm, I can assure you that it did & all evidence proves stop & frisk did not reduce crime. NYPD radically cut back their use of stop-and-frisk & crime didn’t spike, but was reduce yet again. propublica.org/article/in-new… We are personally still dealing with the
fallout from stop & frisk in 2019. Bloomberg & Rudy Giuliani are both racist assholes who used stop & frisk to harass black & brown people in NYC for years. Bloomberg was defending stop & frisk until January 2019 cnn.com/2019/01/22/pol… although a NY court declared stop & frisk
