Enjoy your $1,200, suckers: Tax breaks worth as much as $170 billion literally written for the 1% were tucked into relief bill by the party of coal miners, Republicans. Trump and family, Jared Kushner, ‘have the potential to score big tax savings.’ https://t.co/c6VjFh9Vza

Donald Trump could invoke the Defense Production Act, launching a wartime effort in which American manufacturers switch to making medical equipment. But after invoking the act last Wednesday, Trump failed to actually use it, due to lobbying of U.S. Chamber of Commerce and CEOs

So it’s official. We’re number one in the world for coronavirus cases, even surpassing China which has more than 4 times as many people as the United States. That’s because despite spending more money on healthcare than anyone else, we have one of the worst health systems around.

#TrumpVirus he is pathetically ill equipped to deal with a crisis of this magnitude and the sycophantic staff he surrounds himself walk around on egg shells to avoid his narcissistic ire.
Trump enablers should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity #VoteOutTrump

@davidaxelrod @realDonaldTrump CDC director says of it’s China office:
“is actually being augmented as we speak,”
Is that trump speak for going from 0 to 1 or 2 staff?
And why not let Quick speak to journalists?

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The @realDonaldTrump Admin cut a CDC expert stationed in China who might have helped detect COVID-19 and avert a global catastrophe.

Some believe Dr. Linda Quick might have been able to inform the U.S. of the coronavirus situation in China more quickly. TRUMP FIRED HER just before being able to infom the U.S.A. @POTUS guilty again!

@RepAdamSchiff The American expert in China (Dr. Linda Quick) could have provided real-time information to the United States during the first weeks of the outbreak in November, when the Chinese government tamped down on the release of information and provided erroneous assessments.

5) Zhu and the other sources said the American expert, Dr. Linda Quick, trained Chinese field epidemiologists who were deployed to the epicenter of outbreaks to help track, investigate and contain diseases.

[Bobak K. Persis @BobPersis]

@RepAdamSchiff Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump Administration eliminated a key American public health position at China’s Disease Control Agency intended to detect disease outbreaks in China.

The American disease expert (Dr. Linda Quick) left her job in July.

@WhiteHouse Thank you Dr Linda Quick,a epidemiologist who had to leave China due to CDC budget cuts in July 2019 was working on coronavirus crisis & could have alerted the world earlier if she had been there in Nov https://t.co/4esULHMvqV BEST tRUMP,RESIGN.

Sources told Reuters that Dr. Linda Quick could have provided real-time information to the U.S. and other countries during the first weeks of the outbreak in China — a time when China had clamped down on information sharing.

Linda Quick left @cdc amid a bitter U.S. trade dispute with China when she learned her federally funded post, officially known as resident adviser to the U.S. Field Epidemiology Training Program in China, would be discontinued as of September 2019.
