    And, who was ultimately responsible for the Obamacare roll-out? They had a year to plan for that and still screwed it up. CDC had roughly a month and a mistake was made. And how much whining about Obamacare did Republican do, and how much justifying did Dems do? Sure, executives get hammered for the mistakes of underlings, that’s part of the job. I don’t expect to change anyone’s opinions about this, but it would be nice if people could accept that mistakes happen. I’m much more inclined to blame Trump for his bragging, whining about the media and evil Dems, and stupid messaging on this whole thing than I am a CDC mistake.

    I'm not interested In whataboutisms. Also, maybe Trump shouldn't have fired the Pandemic Response Team. Just a thought.

    When you gut the system designed to prepare for things like this, and put people who don't believe in science in charge of Departments that NEED a fundamental background in science, the blame can only go in one direction.

    I wasn’t aware of what you referenced so I read this on Politifact:

    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...nald-trump-fire-pandemic-officials-defund-cd/

    That is certainly something you can ding Trump for. Still not sure that it would have made a difference in how CDC designed its test kits.

    Obama didn't say the problems were a hoax. He also did not say he had absolutely no responsibility.
    The US could have used existing WHO tests but the administration wanted a US test, and I know from my experience in the industry what happens when you try to cut corners.
    Trump ended the NSA and the NIH pandemic response teams.
    He repeatedly lied about number of cases, severity, availability of testing, timeline for vaccine. And when challenged called reporters "nasty".

    Why are gyms still open? Gyms are one of the worst places people can go in a time like this.
