The Coronavirus

They did not issue shutdowns and social distancing rules in time, they did not provide protective equipment and masks in time, they did not and still do not provide testing and tracking. The feds alone can do this adequately. And waiting to "figure things out" was the problem. That reminds me of what Trump said when he issued his first policy as president, his travel bans which he claimed were needed until "we find out just what's going on!" Remember that? There was never anything to find out; it was an excuse to appeal to his xenophobic fans.

Washington State did "shut down," of course, as I described it above. So did California. Both are doing better per capita than other states that were hit hard. They were #1 and #2 originally in total cases, and now CA is #5 and Washington #16 in total cases during the pandemic. Santa Clara County CA was the first in the nation to get infected, and now its total case curve is downward. It's not even in the top 50 counties anymore in total cases.

I going to agree with you. I now believe that COVID19 is a racist disease that mainly targets minority populations. We were told that the disease didn't care about race but that was wrong based on the results that we've seen so far. As I recall, liberals were the first to cry racism like they always do these days and the first to side with the Chinese ruling class and their big tech masters when Trump imposed travel/import bans early on. Now, I don't blame Warren based on his race for China's obvious failure to adequately inform us about the severity of their issue prior to it's failure to adequately contain it within their country. I don't blame you or Obama for being dumb enough to trust them, go a long with or latch on to their propaganda and support/side with them either. You're all leftists pf some sort and leftists aren't viewed by most as being that sharp these days.
