Over the past three months i've been reading up on several pandemics over history and it's been quite an eye-opener! This is why the current pandemic around the world hasn't really been too surprising for me and actually expected. What i did not expect was the fact the American government would be so slow in responding to it and especially when it comes to testing and getting much-needed protective equipment to health care workers. This i did not expect. But then again look who's the so-called "President". Should we be really surprised??
Why are you surprised? Over 90% of all surgical masks in the U.S. are being made in China. I'm sure it's the same in Canada. In fact your idiot Trudeau is now finally begging for more surgical masks, etc. https://globalnews.ca/news/6716834/toronto-hospital-mask-drive-impending-shortage/ Yet you have no criticism of St. Justine, as he is "WOKE". Do you think China is racing to supply more surgical masks to the U.S. or Canada? Of course not. They are laughing at us. According to the New York Times China is hoarding all masks manufactured at 3M's manufacturing facilities in China. In addition, they bought up most of the world's supply after their initial outbreak, way before the U.S. or Canada had a chance to get their hands on any excess supply. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/business/masks-china-coronavirus.html This is a ludicrous situation and both the Obama and Trump administrations were warned of the dire consequences especially after the Swine Flu outbreak. https://www.npr.org/sections/health...-are-made-in-america-to-deal-with-coronavirus Among Trump, Trudeau, and Obama, the only one who has advocated for bringing manufacturing jobs back to the West is Trump. He hasn't been very successful during his 1st term, but if he gets re-elected I expect him to drop the hammer on China. On the contrary, Obama was a Chinese puppet when he famously said "...those jobs aren't coming back." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpso3vhZtw
