Perhaps if the person in OUR WHITE HOUSE would listen to the real doctors things would be better. Maybe calling it a hoax did not help or demeaning smart people who wear masks. I wonder what things would be like if he had pushed wearing masks and being careful back in March. Maybe our death toll would be much lower.
OK, since you brought it up, Varvel: Who IS responsible for the fact that our covid response is state by state? Would it by #3 himself (counting those who’ve been impeached)? The one who declined to make any policy, saying it should be up to the states? That guy? But, now you’re complaining that the states and localities have different systems? When YOUR guy caused it! What a consistent kind of guy you are! Not.
Maybe if we actually had competent leadership at the federal level to coordinate responses, it’d be better than the guy that’s turning the US into a S-hole country.
State and local governments doing their best with zero credible guidance from the Fed, and Varvel thinks that they’re the foolish boobs making things worse.
Mr. Varvel, a question, with individual states clearly struggling, is it now time for a National strategy, or does the 10th Amendment still apply? Not sure what you are calling for here.
Gary, nice deflection. DEATHCULT a GOP subsidiary wants more dead. Scientists don’t. You need to make the scientists look bad or people will stop dying. Telling the truth is a Christian value and that doesn’t fit with your cult. Denigrate it. Again and again and again.
How in the world does Varvel not see that this is exactly the situation that the Orange Idiot allowed to happen in the first place? When he refused to do what the Federal government is there for in the FIRST PLACE??
Isn’t that what the Freaking Federal government is supposed to do? To coordinate interactions between the states?
You know, other countries, with coherent, national plans, have used all of those tools to defeat coronavirus and start reopening. So has NY. The fact that the GOP has not come up with a similar plan means that thousands more Americans will still die.
If only they would listen to the medical experts, there wouldn’t be so many choices. Instead, Trump replaces an epidemic expert with a radiologist who has no experience with epidemics.

Don’t worry, Trump will announce a vaccine super cure just before the election, when there is no time to prove it a hoax.

Yeah. And who the heck cares about vaccines anyway? Huh? Vaccines are for “Suckers and Losers”, and “Dead People”.

New Zealand just had its first death from a Coronavirus since May. Meanwhile under Trump the United States loses a thousand people per day.

“LIBERATE MINNESOTA!”, “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!”, “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!”. Donald Trump, 4/17/2020.

So Varvel is concerned about “businesses”, but apparently not about people.
In fact, he doesn’t even bother to emphasize “small” businesses.
