No excuse for not being prepared
I've been holding my thoughts for some time now. So here goes:
From early on the message from the White House was it's the flu. Then it was only 15 cases and one death. "We have this under control" When the death projection was 100,000 to 240,000, they said we would have done a "good job." Really? Now as of April 17, it stands at 33,000-plus.
It broke my heart with the first one. They knew in early January and did nothing until mid-March. Don't believe it? I invite you to view Susan Rice's April 9 fact check commentary on MSNBC if you really want to know how they could have saved thousands of lives and saved some 22 million jobs and kept businesses open
