The Ebola pandemic of 2014

      Right off the bat you can tell by the title that I’m messing around. You can go ahead and look at the questions if you want but up front there is one thing that I want you to keep in mind. The mortality rate for Ebola is 50% to 90%. They have been working on a vaccine for years.

Ω  Remember Ebola?

Ω  Remember the great Ebola pandemic of 2014?

Ω  Remember the tens of thousands of Americans that died?

Ω  Remember the crashed economy?

Ω  Remember the millions out of work?

Bear with me.

    What did citizen Trump have to say about how President Obama handled the threat of Ebola. Quite a lot. Below are just a fraction of the tweets. A fraction. I have a couple of favorites in the list below. You can go to the twitter archives if you want to read them all. Trump supporters won’t get it. They won’t get it at all. They’ll be enraged at President Obama for totally screwing up how he handled the great Ebola pandemic that didn’t happen.

    Remember the other pandemics? Did they leave a lasting impression on you for the devastation that they caused?

Ω  All the governors are already backing off of the Ebola quarantines. Bad decision that will lead to more mayhem.  Oct. 28^th, 2014

Ω  There is ZERO margin for error on Ebola. Are we confident in Obama when he can’t even make a website for $5 Billion? Oct 24, 2014

Ω  President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf! Oct 23, 2014

Ω  If this doctor, who so recklessly flew into New York from West Africa, has Ebola, then Obama should apologize to the American people & resign! Oct 23, 2014

Ω  Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar with zero experience in the medical area and zero experience in infectious disease control. A TOTAL JOKE! Oct 17, 2014

Ω  The Ebola nurse should NEVER have been allowed to fly to Cleveland and (amazing) back again. Nothing works in our once great country anymore Oct 16, 2014

Ω  President Obama has a personal responsibility to visit & embrace all people in the US who contract Ebola! Oct 15, 2014

Ω  If Ebola is so non-contagious, how come an NBC cameraman caught it so quickly while over in West Africa? U.S. is behaving very foolishly! Oct 4, 2014

    Judging from these tweets, by his own standards, Trump has been a complete failure at handling the current pandemic. He should take his own advice and resign.

 Think about this. Really. Think about it.

     What would the country be like right now if instead of the SARS-CoV-2 virus the country had been hit with a virus that had a higher mortality rate? Not even Ebola high. Just higher by say ten percent. A virus with a ten percent mortality rate.

 Spanish Flu Pandemic

    One of the reasons that the Spanish Flu pandemic was so bad in the United States is because the government decided to cover it up because they didn’t want to hurt the war effort. (This would be World War ONE not World War TWO as mentioned by the President.)

    President Trump has been covering up about the current pandemic because he wants to get reelected. Republicans have backed him every step of the way. Everything that they have done or NOT done has made the pandemic worse.

Bring out your dead

    There’s a scene in a Monty Python movie where there’s a cart full of bodies going down the street and the guy is yelling “Bring out your dead!”. If this virus had had a higher mortality rate, people would have been piling bodies in the street. Hospitals and morgues have been so overwhelmed that they have had to use refrigerated trucks to hold the overflow.

Taking one for the team

    Early on the Republican Trump Administration figured that the death toll would hit Democrats harder. Fatal mistake for a lot of people. Why they thought the Trump virus would be partisan is beyond me. With that decision they condemned Trump supporters as well. I wonder if those folks knew that they were taking one for the team. The team being Trump and his swamp cronies.

Denial

    Trump and his supporters are in a continual and evolving state of denial. The body count continues to go up so the conspiracy theory is that hospitals are calling non-COVID-19 deaths as being due to the virus. That it’s still an ongoing hoax being manipulated by media to look worse than it is. I watched a video of a Trump supporter after the Tulsa rally saying that he had lost a friend to COVID-19 and the friend’s son was in the hospital but he still didn’t know what to make of it. He wasn’t wearing a mask. The mask is giving people the virus. It never ends.

The Trump Virus

    Trump and the racists supporting him want to blame this pandemic on the Chinese. (Trump is still calling it the “China Virus”.) But what has happened at this stage is squarely their responsibility. They created this ongoing disaster. They own it. Not only have they seen to it that we will lose so many Americans they are setting the stage for possible solutions to fail. They are already cranking up the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theories blaming everyone but themselves. They are the chaos party. They want the Russians to ‘save’ us.

The man who would be King

    President Trump, with the complete support of the Republican Party, White Supremacists and Evangelical Party, are trying mightily to administer the coup de grace to our form of government and create one in their own image.
