Let's look at the op ed:
Starts out with recognition that this is a serious issue. But don't worry too much because: "the United States today is better prepared than ever before to face emerging public health threats, like the coronavirus, in large part due to the work of the Senate Health Committee, Congress, and the Trump Administration." Yikes. That's some serious bullshit. Are we more prepared than before the pandemic response team was disbanded? Are we more prepared with a State Dept. that's been slashed and burned and with a small fraction of health workers in China that we had before this clown shoes administration? But I digress.
Now we go to all the very impressive things we're doing, including "screening incoming passengers at airports as they arrive in the United States from China." Wait a second. I thought we had a travel ban? Why do we need to screen passengers from China if there's a travel ban? Sorry, off topic again.
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is training state and local health departments on the symptoms of the coronavirus." Seems like that information is probably available on WebMD, but alrighty.
"The CDC has developed a diagnostic test that detects coronavirus infections and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is prepared to expedite its review." Oh sweet, the CDC has a test. We good.
"The White House has convened a Coronavirus Task Force, HHS has declared a public health emergency for the U.S. to help state and locals with the response efforts, and the National Institutes of Health, along with drug manufacturers, are expediting the development of a vaccine." Task force, sounds awesome. I'm sure they'll stock it full of infectious disease experts and physicians and allow policy to be driven by facts and science.
"All of these steps are part of the response framework Congress has put in place to ensure we are prepared for disease outbreaks and other public health threats." WE ARE PREPARED. WE ARE GOOD.
"No matter the outbreak or threat, Congress and the federal government have been vigilant in identifying gaps in its readiness efforts and improving its response capabilities." THE GAPS HAVE BEEN FILLED, LOL.
Now, does this sound like it was written by a motherfucker who was dumping nearly his entire net worth?
