PBS Frontline: The Virus: What Went Wrong?

Season 2020: Episode 1 - Runtime -- 1:24:22 (One hour, 24 minutes, 22 seconds)

As COVID-19 spread from Asia to the Middle East to Europe, why was the U.S. caught so unprepared? Despite repeated warnings of a potent contagion headed our way, America’s leaders failed to prepare and protect us. Why and who is accountable?

Fauci: The risk is Low. We have ways of preparing and screening for this”

But it was NEVER done because donald Useless never read his PDB, and was incapable of swift action and leadership to protect the lives of citizens. Damn him.

The stable genius didn’t understand Exponentials.

Donald trump Fuck You; damned egomaniac freak.

Yet so much of it enraged me. It was very clear that Trump and his administration completely dropped the ball on this and are completely responsible for the severity of the epidemic.

He just did not even fucking care one tiny bit about the people in this country. His only concern was for himself and for his chances at re-election. He is a murderer. He knew all along what the potential was for wiping out a huge number of citizens, yet he chose to ignore it for his ego and his future election prospects. The man is nothing but a sadistic, evil bastard.
