LMAO If our country had our shit together!

Laughable.

We should have stopped all travel from China in January.  Oh wait.  Trump did and was attacked by the left!

China should have told us it was transferred human to human and not lied that it wasn’t. China doctor critical of the government is missing.

WHO should have done its job.  They didn’t.  They allowed it to spread.  Look it up.

Schumer, Pelosi, deBlasio, WHO - all attacked Trump for trying to isolate it.

And after all the feds have done - we have to hear the left pretend Trump didn’t do a great job!

Hahaha get a clue.  
There is nothing political in the quote, unless you want there to be.

This country (everyone of us) are in this together and hope we continue to act like it instead of looking for decisiveness and arguments.  

It is OK to expect better of our local, state, and federal governments so that we can learn and improve because we all know these virus's are going to be more frequent.  These are the situations that allow the local, state, government to use the taxes we have paid. No person and especially politician is perfect (Ha) and we need to hold them accountable.
Yup.

We should learn the truth about NYS.
And what is that?

not the forum for this arguement.   take the politics off this board.
I was responding to this:

” We aren't going to see these apocalyptic numbers some predict. But the numbers we see could have been prevented had our country had its shit together.”

Which you liked.  
Tribalism at its finest! Sad that so many people lack the ability to critically think because choosing sides and their side winning is more important than anything else. You prove this by jumping immediately to political insults. My post was in no way political and rational thinking folks are able to identify that fact. This is a commentary on our COUNTRY as a whole, we were not prepared and neglected our health care infrastructure.

I work for a large Midwest healthcare company. We have hospitals, PCP clinics, urgent cares, surgical centers, cancer centers, PT clinics, mental health centers, in 6 states as well as one of the largest nursing colleges in the Midwest. I am part of my regions disaster preparedness team, on top of the team opening a MHUC.  We get twice daily updates from CDC as well as local, state and national health officials. We have a former ranking official at CDC as a hired adviser. Curious where you are getting your information.

My mother in law,  a retired nurse flies out tomorrow morning to start work there Wednesday. To put that in perspective the organization she does this volunteer work for is usually in 3rd world countries. Countries that are victims of genocide,  civil war, horrific poverty, droughts famine etc. Shes usually in countries you could never find on a map 9 out of 10 times. Tomorrow shes in NYC!

My brother in law is an er tech at a city hospital in Iowa that is located in the county with the highest CONFIRMED cases in the state. He has stopped answering/returning calls from the hospital department charged with telling employees someone they've been exposed to tested positive. Too many calls not enough time in the day.

I work at a community mental health center in Iowa that's part of a regional healtcare system over several states. Last week I was put on a team of people tasked with opening a "mental health urgent care ". It will be next to our er and a huge triage tent that will eventually need to be used in the parking lot.

In November our board met for our strategic planning.  The mental health urgent care was to be the crown jewel of our 5 year plan. We will be opening this in 6 days! The penny pinchers that usually ask for exhaustive studies and trial runs have told us money is no issue nor is staffing.

Typical hospital regulations and things like ADA are waived due to COVID-19. Our head of mental health is getting reports from large city hospitals that are refusing to see mental health patients who are suicidal/homicidal. They dont want to "waste beds". Hence us opening the urgent care. 

Mid March I was in the group that thought this was over blown. Then was assigned to be on our hospitals COVID-19 preparedness response team and attended just one meeting. Between the meetings Ive attended for that and our mental health urgent care I am incredibly concerned.  

Some of you get it, others not so much. But it's not the vrius that scares us in healthcare, its our healthcare infrastructure being overloaded.  We aren't going to see these apocalyptic numbers some predict. But the numbers we see could have been prevented had our country had its shit together. Sorry for the rant,  long day at work. 
Thanks for the insight and all your efforts!
