    Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Here he is standing next to Ivanka Trump on March 6th (he’s the Voldemort looking one).

    How do people still support this guy? https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-13-20-intl-hnk/index.html

    "The public health infrastructure and the response to outbreaks and the National Security Council have been gutted by this administration," Davidson said.

    Two years ago, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 countries, including China, after the Trump administration refused to reallocate money to a program that started during the government's response to the Ebola outbreak in 2014.

    At that time, former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said the move "would significantly increase the chance an epidemic will spread without our knowledge and endanger lives in our country and around the world."

    Another factor involves the tests themselves — including malfunctions, shortages and delays in availability.

    In the first few weeks of coronavirus in the US, the CDC was the only facility in the country that could confirm test results.

    "We had the ability about five weeks ago to use a WHO — World Health Organization — approved test that's been used in other countries that was available, and that was rejected so we could use a test that was developed here," Davidson said.

    After test kits were later sent across the country, some were flawed. "So they go back to the drawing board," Davidson said. "It put us behind by about four or five weeks."

    Trump's followers are delusional and have been from the beginning...they somehow believe he can do no wrong.

    This should all be put in context with the number of actual tests theyve run.

    An expert from Harvard University's Institute of Health has estimated U.S. infections at somewhere between 5.000 and 10,000.

    How can a person who lives on the diet that he lives on be healthy at 73, especially with zero exercise?
