Look there’s a difference between having PPE and having the stockpile. We should absolutely have more PPE than we do but we have enough for current times which is all I said. It’s the same with hand sanitizer for a product that regular people use. Is there a normal stockpile no. Can you obtain it yes.
Yes, I certainly do! Did you carefully read my posts? What happened after the middle of January? We wasted well over month by doing nothing when the Intelligence people were issuing dire warnings as early as late January. Why is that so hard for some of you to admit or understand? Our leaders were saying there was NOTHING to worry about from late January through early March. This was nothing worse than the common flu.
Good to see testing has finally increased a little. I think there were about 4,000 tests done with yesterdays stats, and 3,460 today with a 15.3% positive rate.
Looks like we're about even with WI in terms of deaths/population and ahead of MN. Assuming these stats are kept up to date (Iowa's appears to be accurate). This also shows we've actually tested more than both those states per capita.
It was NOT a ban but only a restriction. 40,000 people still came into the U.S. after the restriction. And what about Europe? That was not put into effect until a few weeks later I believe. Meanwhile, probably thousands of infected people were still coming into the U.S.
So would you have been in favor of a ban that did not allow US citizens to return home ?
No, of course not. However, I very much doubt they were all U.S. citizens. And what took him so long to not allow Europeans to enter the country?
The other MAJOR problem is this: Were all these people given COVID-19 tests? Of course not.
Just providing masks would have been a huge improvement given how they packed everybody coming back into a few airports. I think that was a bigger issue coming back from Europe rather than China though.
