Shirking

BY MID FEBRUARY it was evident that the Covid 19 virus not only could but would come to the United States. Instead of setting in motion a system for producing and distributing hundreds of millions of testing kits,, which could have prevented the necessity of shutting down the country and ruining the economy, President Trump first called the epidemic a hoax, then suggested that everyone get a flu shot. He didn't begin to take the disaster seriously until mid March, for which he is morally and criminally culpable. On April 20 Facebook joined the fight against the virus. In what way remained unclear, presumably to share information, of which the venerable gossip mongering corporation has a greater abundance than any organized entity on the planet, save the United States government. Why the delay? The government, aka the Trump administration, late to the table, with over forty thousand preventable deaths on its hands, and rising. Every day one hundred and fifty thousand Americans are being tested for the virus, by now everyone in the country should have long since been tested, at least once, the sick healed, and the economy should be operating smoothly, as usual, without collapse or interruption. Trump promised 27 million test kits by March 31; by April 20 only four million Americans had been tested. Each day the president stands in front of the nation, brags about his fake achievements, and spews vicious insults at everyone who disagrees with him and tells the truth. He refuses to accept the facts from experts until he is either ridiculed into doing so or forced into it by made being made aware of the obvious. By criminal negligence and failed leadership,the president failed to prevent tens fo thousands of deaths, needless deaths, and yet, the morally bankrupt reprobates who support this gangster president resolutely serve as his criminal accessories. Laughably, they think of themselves, for the most part, as followers of Jesus Christ.
