Question for all you Trump bashers...

Is every country that's in the same boat as us regarding this virus just as incompetent and ill prepared as you claim our President is?

MOST countries are, as you say, 'in the same boat'. Not ALL, NEVER ALL. Your love for tRump* and all things him, keeps you from learning and getting TRUTHFUL information.

So. Korea and the United States BOTH had the first positive result from the covid-19 test.

You can find (although, I highly doubt you will look for) many side by side comparisons between the two countries.

tRump* didn't AND STILL hasn't sent enough tests out the the states (except for those who kiss his ample ass) There is so much wrong and so much blatant vindictiveness in HIS actions.

I'm not posting this for you, because I think there is nothing anyone can do to help you with your willfull ignorance, I am posting for those who click on this post that maybe, just maybe they will get a clue.

The contrast is particularly shocking because health authorities in both South Korea and the United States learned of their first coronavirus case on the same day in late January, according to an investigation published by Reuters. Seven weeks later, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had tested close to 300,000 people out of a population of 51 million, while the United States is “not even close to meeting demand for testing,” with only 60,000 tests in a population of 330 million, Reuters reported.

South Korea’s rapid rollout of its testing was crucial because “speed is paramount” in outbreak situations, Sanghyuk Shin, an assistant professor of nursing at the University of California at Irvine and the director of UCI’s Infectious Disease Science Initiative, told The Nation. “The longer the delay, the greater the mortality, and the public health response becomes much more difficult,” he said in an interview.
