Dr. Vivek Murthy, former U.S. surgeon general under the Obama administration, expressed some frustration with the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Unfortunately, we were a bit late to recognize how bad this was as a country,” Murthy said on Yahoo Finance’s The Ticker. “We have been late, also, when it comes to ramping up testing, which we desperately need. And we’re also still having trouble getting the materials, particularly the protective equipment that health care providers need. We’re making progress over the last month, but it’s unfortunately nowhere near where it needs to be if we want to feel safe to relax social distancing restrictions.

Nasty Rat.
Translation - Trump screwed it up before and during and now he’s screwing up by opening early. But that’s just my professional unpartisan opinion.
Which is total BS if you looked at what happened to Italy, Spain, UK and Iran who has the exact same amount of time and did far worse.
What - the vaunted EU socialist system not good enough for you?
former U.S. surgeon general under the Obama administration,
Funny l stopped reading at that point.
Nobody appointed by the Kenyanesian Usurper should be listened to.
I remember that!
When will the pay cuts begin for government civil servants begin? Just kidding...I already know the answer.
When we are broke!
I stopped reading there.
You and me both. Hopefully, there are many more who did so.
Best joke I read all day!
You and your buddy Obama depleted vital resources, then didn’t replace them. Shut your pie-hole, you brought us to this situation.
Did Yahoo ask him about Obama’s H1N1 response?
I thought not.
And let's be real...we don't know what kind of machines we will need. Test kits that have to go to a lab are archaic. The President is bringing us into the 21st century.
He is a doctor. However he is a politician first. If I had the clap I would not let him be my doctor.
Too bad they haven’t gotten Joycelyn Elders to give us advice on sexual gratification during this pandemic.

The new Dem/MSM mantra is that “testing” is some kind of panacea and Trump has failed to provide that in adequate supply. As Fauci said a day or two ago, not only is there adequate “testing” but also that the value of “testing” under these circumstances is really overblown. As he said, with HIV/AIDS testing, if you’re negative and don’t engage in behavior where you might contract the disease, we can safely say that 6 months later you’ll still be negative. With COVID-19, someone who’s negative today could very easily and quickly be a positive 2 days from now, so unless you’re testing everyone on a daily basis, the idea that universal or near-universal testing is going to solve this, just ain’t true.
Was he the guy in charge when Obama didn’t even declare an emergency until after 1000 people were dead?
