I normally don't complain and have tried to understand the down play on what is being done here in the U. S. About the pandemic but I can't hold my tongue another second 🤯. First, I must say that This is not a political topic / statement ... I'm just wondering who made the decision that We die and other countries like Taiwan live?
Why didn't USA secure what we needed for us to survive? You can't tell me that our secret service didn't notice that exports of certain items were no longer available. Taiwan was prepared for this when the first cases appeared in China. They took immediate action in January. They STOPPED The exports of masks & Thermometers, screened & Monitored travels into Taiwan, immediately Isolated the infected & close contacts of the infected, they set up temperature check points in Businesses and schools. They imposed and enforced a $10,000 fine for violators, they Offered free testing for everyone and provided free food to the isolated people. I almost forgot this part ***#1- They learned from the past viruses and sent a team of doctor's to China to study COVID-19 when it was in the beginning stages. OUR elected administration was warned that this pandemic was possible back in 2017. Their response was to FIRE THE PANDEMIC TEAM two years before COVID-19. Because of Taiwan's quick actions they saved hundreds of thousands.
I'm really in a state of shock... we are being encouraged to get back to business as usual in a few weeks.... We are indirectly being told to send our older Americans onto the front lines to save our economy for their grandchildren. Our stay at home recommendation was a little too late. Now I'm hearing that we better hope that our state governor will play nice in order to get the crumb of help that US tax payers PAY taxes for. This virus is a living nightmare. Sticking your head in the ground or putting your fingers in your ears won't make this go away. Everyone please take time to tell your family & friends how much you love them right now. As for me , I'm going to get on my knees, pray to God to end this pandemic then wash my hands.
