If you’ve ever wondered what, not – ready – for = prime time meant, and the possible undesirable ramifications, unfortunately, it looks like we are living this nightmare – scenario! While it is unfair and untrue to blame President Donald Trump for the disease, it is fair, to blame him, for many aspects of his administration’s response, which apparently began when the United States government first learned about it. Either because of Trump’s arrogance / ego (often articulating, he knows more than so-called experts or, due to his political priorities, early in his term, there seems to be little doubt that the president is downplaying, having a Panel of Pandemic, or reduce CDC funding, etc., or some combination of these and other factors, the majority of your response – team, has an unacceptably low level of experience and knowledge. Unfortunately, what we have discovered, that is, there is no place, because, at work, training, after a crisis, is upon us.With that in mind, this article will try, briefly, to consider, examine, review and discuss, 5 examples of this impact.
1. An experienced pandemic panel has not been established: Afterward, he said, he would relocate the panel and cut funding, for the most part, that meant there was no ready group of experts who could use their combination of experience and knowledge to come up with certain quality protocols. instead. In doing this, when the crisis hit, our government had to fight, thus wasting crucial time and energy, delaying the adoption of the most viable action / approach. Then when the President appointed his administration’s response team, he appointed Vice President Pence, President, when a public health expert was needed!
two. CDC was not a political priority: Even in 2018, Mr. Trump proposed cutting funds to the CDC, because, he claimed, it was not necessary! How much faster and better would our response have been if he hadn’t?
3. The president downplayed the potential danger: Then, first, affirming, we would see little impact, from the pandemic, calling it a hoax, perpetrated by its political enemies, etc., then, showing very little empathy, and, until, very recently, it maintained its own panel of experts contradictory!
Four. Your delay, wounded answer: Procrastination is, in general, the enemy of quality actions, etc.! The president’s delay and mixed signals wasted crucial time in terms of the national response.
5. Mixed messaging: This president, according to political fact-checkers, appears to have trouble telling the truth. When the crisis hit, instead of the national response being unified, consistent, timely, and maximizing efficiency, it seemed that, until very recently, politics was ahead of public health!
When President Trump holds his daily press conference, there seems to be little or no empathy and / or sincerity. Many claim, when compared to Governor Cuomo’s briefing, that they are empathetic, compassionate, and informative! We shouldn’t blame him for the virus itself, but, he should be held accountable for his previous actions, lack of preparation, and messages!
