The CDC and its response to coronavirus has provided Americans with a small taste of what life under a government-run, single-payer healthcare system would be like, with the bureaucrats who make decisions that have life-or-death impacts reigning supreme in regard to what care will be provided and who will be allowed to get treatment. Who wants more?

With all the spending and intervention by government during this crisis, the left will demand even more government in the future. Let's pray people see how much better the private sector is at handling just about everything.

Actually Trump has enlisted private companies to speed up testing...this should be a great lesson in how government slows things down.

You just said a mouthful.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and I am glad that he is in the white house right now. I cannot imagine what a Joe Biden administration would be doing right now.

Yes.

And an example of how the bureaucratic swamp does nothing.

There are huge departments and divisions tasked only to plan and prepare for an event such as this.

What have they been doing with their billions for the past 14 years?

This crazy and when it’s squelched there needs to be a reckoning w/regard to the health establishment health security swamp.

Management at CDC should be publicly fired. None of that “spend more time with their families” nonsense.

They’ve cost this country hugely with their ineptitude.

Yes, but they are incredibly inefficient and backward looking.

Many have said...and I have said...Most of the AG's and most of the CIA, and FBI...should have been fired when Trump won.

Many GOBMENT agencies are bloated and inept.

Gov Northam said go over there and sit in the corner senior. Here’s some GOV mints for you. Nurse Greta will be your nurse on duty today. You’ll be kept comfortable until you’re not.
