It's Too Late...

            It's too late. It's too late for America to prevent the spread of the deadly Coronavirus otherwise known as COVID19. With 60,642 Coronavirus cases and 817 deaths and rising by the minute here in the U.S., we have failed, and we are still failing. We have failed to heed the warnings by those in China that dared to speak. We have failed to heed the warnings by those in Italy and Spain that have been quarantined and have watched their lives change overnight. We have failed in listening to those who are living a life of self isolation and those that have suffered losing loved ones. We have failed to listen to all those who have attempted to warn us on the seriousness of the Coronavirus. We have failed to listen to the experts in infectious diseases and professionals in the medical field. We have failed to observe other nations as to learn how to keep the numbers low. We have failed to prepare the American public for a pandemic. We have failed in part, due to having a president that mocked the Coronavirus at his rallies. We have failed in that we have a president that seems to have literally brainwashed his followers into believing that he knows all, when he simply does not. While the president may know how to boost the economy, create jobs, and negotiate trade deals, we do not have a president that is an expert on infectious diseases and pandemics. We do however have a president that pretends to know almost as much if not more than experts on infectious diseases and pandemics.  We the people have not failed, it is our president and his administration who have failed. It is the President and his administration that have failed to protect the American people.

     Ad nauseam, the president and his cheerleaders at Fox News would exclaim how many lives were saved due to his stopping the flights from China early on. The president stated that his ban on travel from China was "unprecedented". The president stated that the travel ban was "his", ever so very brilliant idea, and his idea alone. The president's administration and all at Fox News would drill nightly into the heads of Americans that his travel ban on flights from China was "unprecedented". Had the travel ban been implemented sooner, and had it been a complete travel ban, it would have been "unprecedented", but it was not true. It was a lie. The travel ban was not due to the president's brilliance. The travel ban was advised as "uniform", at the recommendation of the experts in Secretary, Alex Azar's  Health and Human Services department . The president also did not completely stop the flights from China. First and foremost, the travel ban was implemented too late. The travel restriction on flights from China was not effective until February 2nd. The previous month 300,000 people entered the United States from China. By the time the president implemented the travel ban, the virus had already been unleashed in America. Furthermore, the travel ban was not a total travel ban. Secretary, Alex Azar stated that when the travel restrictions to and from China were announced on Jan. 31, the policy prohibited non-U.S. citizens, other than the immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who had traveled to China within the last two weeks from re-entering the U.S. That being said, there were exceptions in the president's
"unprecedented" travel ban, too many exceptions. 


     Those exceptions have lead to now 841 deaths in the U.S. and counting. Those exceptions have led to the United States having the 3rd highest number of Coronavirus cases in world behind China and Italy. The U.S. is already at  61,081 cases and as told by the pandemic experts we have not yet even peaked. China who had the highest number of Coronavirus cases in world, had a total of 81,218 cases and 3281 deaths,  while Italy ranked 2nd, with 74,386 cases and 7503 deaths.  It is assumed by most that China hid the true number of cases, and deaths, however it appears our government is doing the same. Our government by not testing is keeping the numbers low. Unfortunately for the president all states such as New York are not on board with hiding the true number of COVID19 cases. States like Florida who has had a large number of travelers from New York, and Connecticut who have not self isolated, has been at around 1600 cases for days. Failure to protect. That is what our local and federal government officials are doing. They are failing to protect the American people. 

    The president was warned early on that the Coronavirus was affecting thousands in China. The president was advised early on to close the borders. The president failed to listen. The president's travel ban on China was not "unprecedented", it was a joke. Over 300,000 travelers had already entered the U.S. and they continued to enter as there were exceptions. The president failed to act abruptly on banning travel from countries abroad. Germany, Israel, Iran and other various countries closed their borders almost immediately upon seeing the number of COVID19 cases rise throughout the world. Israel even went so far as to ban travel early on from highly infected areas here in the U.S. Yes, Israel banned travel from the states of California, Washington, and New York. Had our president done a domestic travel ban at the same time as he banned international travel, the president could have quite possibly prevented a major COVID19 outbreak, but he didn't. He didn't and that resulted in thousands of travelers from the Northeast traveling to southern states for spring break. Quite obviously, Florida was where the majority of spring breakers chose to land. Not to mention all of the snow birds that fly back and forth. These travelers were told to "self isolate" a week after a good many had already arrived. Not that that would have mattered as again and again I've heard of Americans returning from abroad that did not have their temperature taken as per FDA and CDC COVID19 guidelines.  Essentially, the Coronavirus pandemic has been handled with complete negligence by the president and his administration, not to mention lunacy. It is lunacy for a president to go from mocking a disease for which there is no cure, to then saying life will be shutdown for weeks as to prevent the spread, to then as of yesterday saying that we will be in chursh togethjer by Easter. As of yesterday the World Health Organization stated that the United States would soon be the epicenter of the virus if it were not diligent in preventing the spread. 

    We have not prevented the spread. We have not prevented the spread when a man who tested positive for COVID19 was recently at a bar in West Palm Beach, Fl. at a St. Patrick's Day party. We have not prevented the spread when thousands of travelers from abroad, and from highly infected states such as New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington, Texas, and California have been able to travel and have not self isolated or self quarantined. Our government officials both at the state and federal levels have not taken this pandemic seriously. They have failed to protect us. Countries like Hong Kong, give travelers bracelets as so the government can track their every move until their time in self isolation is over. Other countries such as South Korea and Hong Kong made every citizen and or traveler wear a mask and they have masks to give. We in America do not even have enough masks for physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals. Many countries such as China, Israel, South Korea and Hong Kong went so far as to spray their streets, schools, shopping malls and various businesses due to the virus being found to be airborne. We have done none of that. Our government has failed. Our government has failed to protect the people and we the people will pay dearly. We will pay dearly with the loss of our lives or the loss of those we love. That being said, as I close there are now 64,775 COVID19 cases at present, and 910 people who have died. Yes, I do firmly believe that our government is guilty in failing to protect we the people. It's too late...
