This virus HAS NOTHING to do with politics!
I agree. It's too bad Democrat leaders and MSM aren't as perceptive as you are.

Democrat leaders (Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc.) are complaining that the Trump administration is "not doing enough" to combat what they're calling the "rapidly spreading and deadly CoronaVirus disease."
If President Trump is "not doing enough", how did they feel when President Barack Obama waited until ONE THOUSAND Americans had died, before taking any action?

In April 2009, H1N1 (the swine flu) was first detected in the U.S. According to the CDC, this “virus was a unique combination of influenza virus genes never previously identified in either animals or people.” Sounds almost like the descriptions we’ve been hearing of the coronavirus.
It began to spread immediately and President Obama addressed Americans briefly (1:27) at the end of April. He called on Americans to take the same precautions they would to prevent any other flu. “Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough. Stay home from work if you’re sick.”
And he assured us the government would do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe.
By October, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, declared: “Millions of people in the United States have been infected. At least 20,000 have been hospitalized. And more than 1,000 have died.”
President Obama finally declared H1N1 a public health emergency on October 24, 2009. He issued a statement: “The 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities. Thus, in recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation, we are taking additional steps to facilitate our response.”
On November 12, 2009, the CDC reported an estimated 22 million Americans had been infected with H1N1 and 4,000 Americans had died.
FAST FORWARD TO 2020... with President Donald J. Trump in charge of taking care of Americans.

On December 30, 2019, scientists in China “a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology was observed in Wuhan, China, and reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) China bureau in Beijing.
A week later,January 7, 2020, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated from these patients.”
On January 31, 2020, President Trump declared a public health emergency. USA Today reported that “quarantines of Americans who have recently been to certain parts of China” had been set up, “the first quarantine order issued by the federal government in over 50 years.”
Among the other steps taken:
The government began restricting U.S. access to non-citizens from China. Flights filled with U.S. citizens who were in Wuhan were brought to America and those people were quarantined on U.S. military bases for two weeks.
U.S. citizens who have been in China’s Hubei province during the past 14 days and are returning to the U.S. States will undergo health screenings and be monitored during mandatory quarantines of up to 14 days, officials said.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar also announced a temporary suspension of entry into the United States of foreign nationals who pose a risk for the transmission of the coronavirus.
All flights from China to the U.S. will be funneled to one of seven airports that are designated ports of entry: New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.
This is just another example of how Democrats and the Mainstream Media allowed President Barack Obama to do almost anything he wanted, without complaining about his lack of caring, or his lack of accomplishments.
And, because Democrats were 100% immersed and fixated on Impeaching President Trump in January, he and his Administration had to unilaterally take proactive measures to protect Americans.
Instead of waiting 6 months for thousands of Americans to die, like the Obama Administration did, the Trump Administration began taking action just 3 weeks after the Pandemic was declared in China. But Democrat leaders have the GALL to complain that Trump's "not doing enough".

I’m trolling the troll.
To whom/what? Are you referring to my claim that VP Pence screwed up the HIV scare, or that the left is worse than most Americans believe? Curious.

So just how proactive is ATS in preventing trolling on their site?
A die hard democrat through and through, are you? You can't face the facts that your idol, the first black democratic president was a lousy president. Lousy... The entire democratic party is lousy. Chock full of greedy politicians that only use the fools to gain power.
From the time I can remember, it took a republican president to repair the damage created by democratic administrations. Lousy, lousy people are your idols.
They are leaches.

Just hurry up and apply for a top level cabinet position already. If he can hire a 23 year old, surely your unwavering sycophantic loyalty will score you a spot.

Compare the numbers, the time scale and the mortality rate.

Yes..Trump took action loooooong before 1,000 Americans died.
A new survey has exposed the dirtiest surfaces that Americans touch and, unfortunately for the average person, they are some of the most frequent and most necessary things we touch on a daily basis. The top offenders on the list include gas pumps, handles on public mailboxes, escalator rails and ATM buttons.
71 percent of gas pump handles
68 percent of mailbox handles
43 percent of escalator rails
41 percent of ATM buttons
40 percent of parking meters/kiosks
35 percent of crosswalk buttons
35 percent of vending machine buttons
cutting boards, coffee maker, refrigerator, kitchen sink and countertops, bathroom light switches, refrigerator handles, stove knobs, microwave handles, the shower tub, drains, faucets, floor area around the toilet, bath towels, toothbrushes

Trump did take action early! This is good. But it isn't just about the swiftness of the response, but also the quality and competence of the response... also, he has been way too slow on relaxing testing requirements. I wouldn't call his actions swift enough in this case.
yeah I know. So you gonna help me get care a Cabinet position or what? I was waiting for the less charismatic version of carewemust to show. Here ya are

Really? That's all you got?
Obama waited until 1,000 American had died of H1N1 before declaring an emergency, and only 2 1/2 weeks later, over 4,000 American had died.
And that's all you got? You're pathetic.
