Mod Notice

The level of vitriol and frankly toxic culture in this thread is getting out of hand. As such, the thread will be monitored actively for posters who drag down the quality of posting for all others, and they will have their access to the thread removed.

Further, reference to TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) will no longer be allowed. Much like other tropes of that nature, it serves as a conversational barrier and fall-back point for people to simply sling mud. That's unacceptable.

Thanks.

So Obama knew a pandemic would occur but didn't restock after H1N1.

According to the Washington Post, more than 85 million of those masks were distributed back in 2009, during the H1N1 outbreak -- and never replenished. Instead, in the years that followed, the stockpile focused on using its limited budgets to buy up pharmaceuticals, including vaccines and flu medications. Today, according to HHS officials, the stockpile has about 12 million N95 masks on hand.

Obama's response in 2014 to the ebola crisis would indicate that, yes, he did anticipate a future pandemic.

As usual, Trump got it wrong.

This 30x over. An entity who is meant to lead the way in these areas spent their time covering for China, policing speech ("Don't call it China Virus") and spreading false information. If China and the WHO had been honest from the start this wouldn't have left the Chinese borders.

Spot on ... but but but it’s all Trumps fault.

Dems are embarrassing

WHO, part of the UN.

The Organisation vilified by Trumpy & all good Trumpanzees.

WHO itself has be badly underfunded for years by the nations who now blame it for much of the current ills we see with Covid-19

Bloody stupid really. But with RWNJ's, we get use to that, sadly.

Not arguing any position just pasting some info in re WHO funding Link
