Trump was playing golf and holding racist hate-filled campaign rallies all the while China battled the coronavirus. He should have been building up medical supplies during this time.
There is no reason other than sheer incompetency that an industrialized country like this should have a shortage of rubber gloves, face masks and ventilators.
There had been plenty of time to nationalize the entire health care industry to bring it up to snuff but Trump chose not to do this because his friends would have had to sacrifice profits... as a result people now are needlessly dying.
We must never forget that Democrats, including Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Andrew Yang, Amy Klobuchar, Chick Schumer and Nancy Pelosi all joined the China haters- Trump, Bannon, Pompeo, Bolton and Elliot Abrams- instead of promoting mutual cooperation so these Democrats share the blame for this mess, too.
Common sense should tell us that a National Public Health Care System should have been put in place to take care of our health care needs and served as a job creating program creating well over twelve- million jobs: you put people to work solving the problems of the people.
