I know this question is off topic but when this pandemonium has blown off could you react to the. "Defense Culpability Act (DCA)" from "Phoenix Wright ace attorney Spirit of Justice (Look up the youtuber Slyzer and then find his spirit of jystice videos and watch a few of them to see the DCA)
During this lock down, I have had time to rewatch some favorite shows of mine. Which reminds me.... please take a look at Black Mirror Season 3, episode 3: Shut Up and Dance. I promise I'll shut up after that lol
Whats funny is people take this as an attack. When you point out someone saying something and then not doing it, it isn’t an attack. It’s having a memory.
Yes but he didn’t include many of the emergency declarations that were declared back in January, and when discussing emergency declarations made in March, he focused on failures of the speech instead of how the administration is using the funds. This is likely because it would show the president in a good light.
@@nickvenuto9803 Okay. So can you state something said by the host in this video that was incorrect? Or something that he failed to mention that he should have? Funny how you have an extreme pro-trump bias, but you still think you have some credibility.
You can date the video quite easily when he says that the deaths in Italy are over 2100. You can date this comment quite easily when I say that the deaths are now over 4825.
Yeah, the fact that the number of cases and deaths in Italy have increased so drastically in the time it took him to edit and upload his video is rather scary

@@Mawkatz Fun fact, it's not that the numbers are fake, but they fluctuate due to the fact that they keep testing more and more people, which changes the numbers. It's not that suddenly the virus is spreading rapidly, but rather they are just finding more people infected due to testing. If you're going to call foul on anyone, you should do that for China, because the government there is most assuredly lying about their numbers
The biggest face palm is to fire doctors thinking you can just "get them back" when you need them. No you can't. By firing them they then need another job. They aren't going to quit that new job to work for someone they know will fire them once things are "slow".
Agreed that's ridiculous, though I think the bigger error is thinking that they "weren't doing anything" just because people weren't dying at the time. Preparedness and research on disease are ongoing processes that take staff.
Of course not. These people are highly educated and experienced, so they didn't just go home and play solitaire until they were called back to the government since they had bills to pay.
To be fair when you have such a vast amount of money you can usually get away with contracting out work whenever necessary. At the same time it is definitely foolish to ignore the reason that the pandemic response office was set up as a proactive measure rather than a reactive one. It's obvious that he cares more about his own pockets than the people who line them. I hate to say it but he's so arrogant he'll probably end up catching the virus himself. Maybe then he'll finally realise that money can't buy everything but by then it'll probably be too late.
Getting laid off while my company stays open but downsizes, while senators are dumping stock ahead of time- this is what makes it feel like the system is not meant to protect those w/o wealth or connections
...It's not. There's two terms: oligarchy or plutocracy. Either one describes our country. Rule by elite, or rule by the rich. Democracy, rule by the people, does not describe it. We have the appearance of democracy, but not the reality.
The doctors in the pandemic response team were highly paid professionals with decades of training and experience. It was ridiculous to think he could fire them and they'd just be sitting around if he ever needed them back...
Yes, but that's not even the problem here. Bringing them back 'when we need them,' i.e. when a politician could perceive the need, is like waiting until January 2000 to fix the Y2K bug because there was 'no need' before then (as far as a fool could see).
Everyone in this thread needs to read this: www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/17/instagram-posts/celebrities-are-sharing-misleading-post-about-trum/ Because there's a lot of lies coming around. 1. Trump did NOT fire the pandemic response team. It was combined with another office, and a specialized coronavirus team was created in response to the outbreak. 2. Trump did not cut funding to the CDC. He thought about it, and didn't go through with it. In fact, his proposed budgets have been increasing the proposed CDC funding. 3. Trump didn't refuse WHO tests, because the US isn't on the list of countries that the WHO supplies with those kinds of things. The US makes its own tests. It is not on the WHO's list, and is therefore not up to the president's jurisdiction. 4. Trump didn't call the virus a dem hoax. He called the Democrats trying to politically weaponize the virus for political gain a hoax. Once again, check the source if you don't trust me to condense it. I don't even like him as a president, but I don't listen to lies
I'm experiencing symptoms of this virus and contacted my doctor to discuss my symptoms, as recommended by the WHO. He strongly urged me to contact my local health department for testing. So I did. The woman on the phone said they need a direct referral from my doctor for authorization for free testing. I called the office asking the doctor to contact them. The next day I received a call from my pcp saying I was denied for the free test because I cannot "clearly define who was a carrier" I came into contact with. However, if I choose, I can pay for the test out of pocket. Problem is, Medicare doesn't cover that shit, no matter that I'm in the *high risk* category with diabetes, a heart disease (SVT), AND respiratory diseases (asthma and chronic bronchitis.) So I'm just stuck under self-quarantine because our government wants to keep the "official numbers low." Our government, the ones who are supposed to protect us, has betrayed us. I don't meet the criteria for testing because I can't specify anyone in particular who has been a carrier. What kind of world do we live in where the sick are told to just sit and wait for an illness to kill them because they can't afford treatment before it's too late? 😢 EDIT: added more info
Can you come up with a list of people that you know have the virus and provide that to your PCP? Can you claim that you are a victim of community spread because you either went to a place where a known person had the virus? I sympathize with your frustration. This is an example of government run healthcare that will restrict access to healthcare to control costs or minimize political criticism. It may be also a stalling tactic to give local administrators time to get more test resources. The powers that be may have a very limited number of tests available and only want to use them to confirm diagnosis for people with strong symptoms.
You know what sucks? When a government does take action fast, and actually prevent something bad from happening, you always have some people saying “see I told you nothing would happen, what an overreaction”.
@@elizabethhenning778 I don't know that that's the point. The point is next time when they'll be saying "Oh last time wasn't so bad, the government really overreacted, I hope they don't do that again," not realizing that it would have been much worse if not for the "overreaction." Not to mention inability to see the difference in threat levels. I actually heard someone saying they didn't get ebola so they'll be fine. That was different from this in so many different ways...
Personally i think anyone running for president should take an basic fitness for presidency role which would cap presidential candidates age at 60 making them nearly 70 by the end of their 2 terms. A written test to prove you know the basics of presidency like history of major incidents and mistakes make things learnt off:history like the bay of pigs incident word the questions s scenarios and score accordingly on ethical and national interest .
Al there's still a hiring freeze in federal government that's been ongoing basically since he took office. "Small government" and whatnot. So no, they can't actually just hire them back.

Oh so you didnt watch the full video? Inform yourself and dont see just a 30 second clip. Also Trump was the ONLY country to close borders to China in late January 2020
It's amazing how low the bar has become for being the president. You can go on television, blatantly lie and nothing happens. And do it over and over and over again.
As soon as I heard trump demanded airports shut down all flights for China. And after 48 hours they were still happening without checks... I realized people are blatantly ignoring the president
This video hits even worse a year later. It wasn't just the lack of preparation that was the problem. It was the ongoing refusal to deal with reality. 💔
@@user-fr4cg2xj2w Well I dont think hes implying Corona Virus fears are an overreaction, because the crisis is not averted. He's saying if we just knocked it out of the park, people who said "Coronavirus will be gone in a few weeks, you'll see", and others of the sort, would think it's an overreaction.
Only if all other countries also averted it in tandem. When you have a pretty clear example in Italy of shit hitting the fan, hitting it out of the park and avoiding an outbreak completely would make you look pretty damn good. And the scientists/doctors and other people who actually know what they're talking about would know regardless, even if Joe Schmoe doesn't.
@@destinycircle8192 , a published study that focuses on Italy's extremely high death rate from the flu shows 68k deaths in the two seasons between 2014 and 2016. Global deaths are currently less than half (one season) the deaths Italy saw in the study period. Things the news and this guy won't tell you.
The fact you constructed this comment means you are able to see the structural tricks in editing and presentation to misinform. The fact you support that means you are either malicious or a bad person.
You're arguing against facts my dude. its all there in the public record for everyone to see. the numbers don't lie, the stats dont lie, you're just all too partisan to see or care. The fact that you wrote this means you're either a malicious actor, or just stupid.
You can't argue with these people. The majority supports your view. This is just one comment section on a channel tailored to a certain crowd within a sea of opinions and beliefs.
Objection: You stated that “no one would claim that the government response was perfect.” Without a shadow of a doubt, Donald Trump WOULD say that the government response is perfect.
Here is the funny part: The virus lethality is more than the flu, and even if it is close to 5% lethality, put enough people out of commission without killing them, then an outbreak can make any infrastructure collapse. Take it lightly like Italy, and all you got are floppy spaghetti. People starve, and hospitals have no room to treat the severe symptoms, and its national healthcare collapses like said limp linguini. Keep critical infrastructure running, and the infection and contamination is more controlled while people still have access to supplies. But yeah, all too hilarious.

When there hasn't been much bad happening during his presidency, and the majority of the bad is either blown out of proportion or not his (or his administration's) fault, there isn't any reason for him to take responsibility because there isn't anything to take responsibility for.
Kid: put his his into fire gets burned US govt: see the kid getting burned and proceeds to put hand into fire gets burn and complains they were not warned.
It's even worse than that. It wasn't a logical decision, it was personal like Reagan removing the solar panels Carter put on the White House. Apparently there's nothing more satisfying than putting your thumb in a Democratic predecessor"s eye.
Too bad the logistics of a pandemic response are so bad in there US. Both South Korea and China can mobilize large swaths of the economy towards production, while the US can't even approve automated testing without FDA approval. Even worse, until FEMA was involved, no state clinic or independent clinic could process tests. The US does not have the steps in place to respond to a crisis like this.
I always told people who used to say we needed a businessman to run the country like a business that being president is nothing like running a business and this is making that glaringly obvious. Even though the voters of this country have seriously let me down before, if he gets reelected I'll fall out of my chair.
@@marccolten9801 Even worse than that. The Department of Health and Human Services conducted an exercise from January to August of *last year*, simulating a global pandemic, to find the shortfalls in the federal government response and offer recommendations to shore things up. It was called "Operation Crimson Contagion", and the draft of the report was released in October 2019, marked "not to be disclosed". And it literally predicted everything that's coming to pass, because it showed how ill-prepared we were. www.nytimes.com/2020/03/19/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-outbreak.html
Trump didn't want to lock down and do all that stuff. People are finally waking up to the fact he was right. Countries like Sweden that didn't lock down were just fine.
Sadly it's about money and reputation with people if it will effect that it's no good. So they let it get worse until they are not able to make it go away and have to face it jaws had that as well when the shark was finally blown up.
Yea it’s practically the plot of most disaster movies- The scientist(s) warn the -insert government official- , but the official disregards the warnings because either they either have alterior motives that would be negatively affected by public knowledge or is just simply too ignorant. It isn’t until it is too late that the official is finally forced to accept the problem, but by then the -insert disaster- has progressed too far that it becomes irreversible.
To anyone upset with LegalEagle making a video pointing out the awful response our government has provided us; Understand that we need to demand more from ALL of our elected officials. Democrats and Republicans need to stand up and demand our government take this more seriously. It is already too late to get on top of this but the recovery does not need to be as painful as it will be without proper action. Call your senators and representatives.
As a libertarian, I believe in freedom over security. The government should do less, not more. People shouldn't be forced to be quarantined, personal autonomy and responsibility means I can go out and get coronavirus if I so please
Malachy Moreland 🤦🏾♀️ it doesn’t only affect you though. It’s a viral infection that could kill millions if not contained. Our hospitals would be overwhelmed and even more people would die. And people would still blame the government for not taking more responsibility for their constituents.
Our governmental response isn't that bad haha. Do you even know anyone that knows anyone that's sick. Look at Italy, Iran, and China. China literally imprisoned doctors that were trying to get this information out Legal eagle didn't mention ANY of the early actions taken by the government, if you weren't aware, we've been preparing regulation since January.... Did legal eagle mention that? Nope. All he did was pick apart a speech haha.
@swave158 so you just give up your rights when the going gets tough? People should quarantine but you should be allowed to go out and risk getting coronavirus if you want to
"What would you say to the millions of Americans who are scared right now?" "I would say you're a bad reporter." ...seriously? I mean, I'm not surprised, but... seriously?

@@leestrz4153 I mean that's kind of the definition of leadership. Why does anyone ask the president anything? Because they are looking to him to lead by example, and to show understanding and vision to a certain degree... well actually, the first thing they are looking for is competence and wisdom, but a lack of that is a foregone conclusion in this case.
That's why you don't treat scientists like a day laborer waiting on a corner to be called in for moving gig. You don't disband them and dismissively say if we need them we will get them .

They elected a celebrity that built his political name off of spending years pushing a racist conspiracy theory about Obama not actually being American.
I have a hypothesis; ever since the neutral response video (a video which has equal number of likes and dislikes) there are a number of people whom will always vote for the side with the least support.
SO GLAD you went into this rather than shying away from it out of fear that it's too political. Information like this has nothing to do with politics, they just have politicians involved.

It didnt imo. It is however starting to do so now. Italies initial response was the right one. Yeah, 5% of the population may die if the vulnerable fail to selfsegregate, but is that worse than the economical consequences of this response? We are only seeing the beginning, the plan by the virologists involved having this be the new normal for most of the time (with a few breaks) until a vaccine comes around which they expect in 12 to 18 months at the absolute earliest. People will starve, and not just 5%.
Italy got it completely wrong thinking they could just go about their ordinary lives. The economic consequences of losing 5% of the population are massive (more likely closer to 1%). We can keep people from starving through thoughtful government policy.
@@rsmith02 Well, 5% was based on recorded lethality and overshooting becouse some people think the numbers are downlplayed. If itd be lower, that would make it just more true. There is no *good* way forward but as for the economic consequences of losing 5%, that would be true if it was random. Its not. Im not saying we shouldnt care about the life of an 80 year old, however, the economical impact is lower than losing a young adult or even a child. And theres thus far no recorded deaths under 10, under 40 its only been recorded to be lethal in 0.2%of cases for each agegroup except the under 10 year olds where it sits at zero. It increases to 0.4% to 40-49 year olds, 1.3% for 50-59, 3.6 for 60-69, 8% for 70 to 79 and 14.8 to 21.9% (depending on dataset, suspected vs confirmed cases) for 80+.

I beg to differ, America currently sits in the unique position of arguing vehemently that there is fairness in a system where the presidential candidate who is least wanted is the rightful winner of the election. We also have no universal healthcare system in contrast to pretty much every other developed country.
We do vote, yes, but when it comes to electing our president, it's not a majority vote, but runs through a system called the electoral college. Imma skip explaining how it works, but in practice, because we have an electoral college we frequently end up with a president who received a minority of the votes. Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton but won in the electoral college, which is why he's president. I don't care much for Clinton either, but I find Trump to be both extremely selfish and moronic and I've spent his entire term dreading his reaction should we ever be presented with a serious situation. Currently, the president is extremely keen to reopen the country and get Americans back to work, which is terrifying because that's how we'll end up with a bunch more dead people.
Counter point, your honor! Generalized statements of human behavior are well understood to fall under the "reasonable person" standard, a standard the president regularly fails to adhere to. His statement does not undermine my client's charge, but rather his own faculties.

This is bad in itself, because the executive branch *really* doesn't need even more unaccountable power and the legislative branch should be doing its actual job instead of looking for ways to offload the work to someone else, but it's also bad because this particular DoJ has repeatedly indicated a desire to undermine encryption, which makes people think that they would, if they were given the opportunity and legal authority.
@@captainbacon9662 yeah, that's what I gathered. Like I said, that's why I want a video on it, to clear all that up. And to know exactly who it is that's involved.

I have heard a ton of his supporters claim the media coverage around the coronavirus was specifically designed to cause panic, crash the markets and lead to Trump not being reelected. After Trump, himself, stated this virus is a serious issue, many of these Trump supporters still support the conspiracy. They are not the brightest bunch.
I'm not too upset with people who were really panicked and buying toilet paper for themselves, even if they bought (say) 5-6 weeks worth. The people who really infuriate me are those who deliberately bought all that they could get their hands on, expecting to resell them at much higher prices once the shelves were empty.

John is here somewhere on the shelf. Okay, well I got most of the team back. Let's talk about disaster. How much is it going to cost, and how are you going to do it with a lot less than that?"

Currently of about 43.000 active cases as of yesterday, as the numbers of today will be made official in about 2hrs, around 2.850 are in serious condition, while the rest has mild symptoms. Sadly "serious condition" in Italy means a chance of 25% per day that you will die of the disease.
Italy's response is partly to blame, but overall biggest issue is that places like Italy and Spain are major tourist attractions. Especially from China.
It's silly to use the reasoning of, we haven't used them or that they haven't done anything in a long time when we are talking about a PANDEMIC. That's the whole point, we don't want to have to use them, but these are one of the things you end up paying for and keeping around regardless of use, they should just be one of the costs of running a government. Like are you going to get rid of the NTSB if there haven't been any plane crashes in 1-2 years? No of course not, because these types of groups are essential and time is of utmost importance to these types of groups. Even if you could get these groups back "quickly" just the mere fact that they all have to travel to one central location to do their job is time lost or how about the fact that if they aren't part of one of these groups that they wouldn't be getting as much information about things that are going on in order to be able to keep people safe. You don't lay off the police force when there is no crime and hire them as part time when there is a crime, that's just not how things like this work.

I texted a friend a few weeks before we went into lockdown and said, "I have a feeling this is going to be really bad." My feelings regarding support from the federal government are best summed by Sir Ralph Richard's words from the beginning of the movie The Battle of Britain (he was playing the British Ambassador to Switzerland, and he had just spoken to the German Ambassador): "We're on our own. We've been playing for time, and it's running out." Signed, an RN.
Urazz bruh we aren’t dealing with a potentially nasty disease outbreak. We’re dealing with an extraordinarily dangerous and resilient outbreak right now. Even if the government response is as robust as you claim, it’s already too late to be “gathering supplies.” We knew about this threat ahead of time and many other countries have been working together to combat it. We did not implement treatment and testing plans in time.

I wish I could see the alternate reality where trump was tweeting about a president making the exact same decisions he has made. I have a suspicion he would not be so complimentary of his own actions. It's funny when Obama was President Trump constantly lambasted him and yet here we are and his actions are quantifiably worse

@@iviaverick52 Literally anyone who would have had the forethought to not disband the Pandemic Response Team would have done better in this situation than Trump. Sure, it would've costed more money to keep them, but preventative measures are there for a reason.
We see the Trump administration purging CDC experts, cutting CDC funding, blocking CDC from participating in classified meetings about Corona, preventing early Corona testing to artificially lower the official count for the sake of publicity, and consulting facebook for policy decisions. Why do so many people seem to think that no one could have done better? -_-
@@DJHise Because they have to protect their own egos since the man they voted for thinking he was an expert is demonstrably the reason why our response is so botched.

These stopped abruptly in 2017. Ummmm...what was different in 2017 vs. 2016...? I can't quite remember! Can someone please help me out?
I have a few rules to follow when I’m left in charge of something and let me just say Trump broke every rule in the leadership book. Keeping everyone in the dark when the situation was clearly getting out of hand Not admitting to his mistakes when he goofed up leaving the country unprepared for this pandemic outbreak Getting rid of precautionary measures to prevent said disaster of a pandemic from getting out of hand The freaking list goes on Can someone just tell me WHY DID ANYONE VOTE FOR THIS GUY?!

Ohhhh burn. you should tweet that at him with a clip of his statement.....after we get things handled. Right and left senators were insider trading going off the secret January meeting with the pres this ain't about politics anymore.
Listening to this again gives a war flashback to events that happened only a year ago but simultaneously feels like it happened 4 years ago. It is also great knowing this type of blatant disregard to everything does not prevail in the White House anymore.
the first mistake was not using the known good test and instead creating a far more complicated (likely more expensive as a result) that does the same thing but worse and less reliable.
I'd assume so. He was so unprepared that he actively dismantled many of the preparations already in place, then turned around and claimed to have no knowledge of it.
and that reminds me of the statement "ok so the president wasn't perfect but is there really any reason to impeach? the election is just around the corner. how much damage could he do in the the last few months" response: "a lot" and here we are... but to be "fair" i don't think the replacement would have done much better in terms of response time. but then again. days and even hours can make a big difference. should have never disbanded the response team. that it self is negligence more worthy of impeachment imo. you do not cut out the safety nets and unique emergency response teams just to save a quick buck.
We went from three times a week to (hopefully) once a week. Mostly for fresh stuff, our pantry is well-stocked due to the recommendation of the German government to ALWAYS have enough for at least two weeks ready in the case of emergency.
In my town, we don’t even have enough tests to give to those who show symptoms. And are just saying “you have aggressive pneumonia... but *under the table* you have COVID19.”
And now we know that testing isn't even necessary. You aren't required in most places to test anymore at all. You're supposed to treat it like any other illness because perhaps we are finally coming to our senses.

The biggest face palm is to fire doctors thinking you can just "get them back" when you need them.
No you can't. By firing them they then need another job. They aren't going to quit that new job to work for someone they know will fire them once things are "slow".
Agreed that's ridiculous, though I think the bigger error is thinking that they "weren't doing anything" just because people weren't dying at the time. Preparedness and research on disease are ongoing processes that take staff.
Of course not. These people are highly educated and experienced, so they didn't just go home and play solitaire until they were called back to the government since they had bills to pay.
To be fair when you have such a vast amount of money you can usually get away with contracting out work whenever necessary. At the same time it is definitely foolish to ignore the reason that the pandemic response office was set up as a proactive measure rather than a reactive one. It's obvious that he cares more about his own pockets than the people who line them. I hate to say it but he's so arrogant he'll probably end up catching the virus himself. Maybe then he'll finally realise that money can't buy everything but by then it'll probably be too late.

1. Trump did NOT fire the pandemic response team. It was combined with another office, and a specialized coronavirus team was created in response to the outbreak.
2. Trump did not cut funding to the CDC. He thought about it, and didn't go through with it. In fact, his proposed budgets have been increasing the proposed CDC funding.
3. Trump didn't refuse WHO tests, because the US isn't on the list of countries that the WHO supplies with those kinds of things. The US makes its own tests. It is not on the WHO's list, and is therefore not up to the president's jurisdiction.
4. Trump didn't call the virus a dem hoax. He called the Democrats trying to politically weaponize the virus for political gain a hoax.

"I'm a business person."
Running your country like a company cost you over half a million lives.
The premise is wrong and the conclusion is also wrong, regardless of how correct the premise might supposedly be.
STILL waiting on an audit of that claim.
I'm experiencing symptoms of this virus and contacted my doctor to discuss my symptoms, as recommended by the WHO.
He strongly urged me to contact my local health department for testing. So I did. The woman on the phone said they need a direct referral from my doctor for authorization for free testing.
I called the office asking the doctor to contact them. The next day I received a call from my pcp saying I was denied for the free test because I cannot "clearly define who was a carrier" I came into contact with. However, if I choose, I can pay for the test out of pocket.
Problem is, Medicare doesn't cover that shit, no matter that I'm in the *high risk* category with diabetes, a heart disease (SVT), AND respiratory diseases (asthma and chronic bronchitis.)
So I'm just stuck under self-quarantine because our government wants to keep the "official numbers low."
Our government, the ones who are supposed to protect us, has betrayed us.
I don't meet the criteria for testing because I can't specify anyone in particular who has been a carrier.
What kind of world do we live in where the sick are told to just sit and wait for an illness to kill them because they can't afford treatment before it's too late? 😢

I sympathize with your frustration. This is an example of government run healthcare that will restrict access to healthcare to control costs or minimize political criticism. It may be also a stalling tactic to give local administrators time to get more test resources.

Objection: You stated that “no one would claim that the government response was perfect.” Without a shadow of a doubt, Donald Trump WOULD say that the government response is perfect.
I was about to comment on that, he literally rated his response a 10 out of 10. *sigh*
No person without a mental disability would have been more apt.
Yeah, Legal Eagle kind of dropped the ball in wording that statement.

Here is the funny part: The virus lethality is more than the flu, and even if it is close to 5% lethality, put enough people out of commission without killing them, then an outbreak can make any infrastructure collapse.
Take it lightly like Italy, and all you got are floppy spaghetti. People starve, and hospitals have no room to treat the severe symptoms, and its national healthcare collapses like said limp linguini.
Keep critical infrastructure running, and the infection and contamination is more controlled while people still have access to supplies.
But yeah, all too hilarious.

@@marccolten9801 He knew about it in January and refused to act because he was afraid it would affect him in the election.
Too bad the logistics of a pandemic response are so bad in there US. Both South Korea and China can mobilize large swaths of the economy towards production, while the US can't even approve automated testing without FDA approval. Even worse, until FEMA was involved, no state clinic or independent clinic could process tests. The US does not have the steps in place to respond to a crisis like this.
I always told people who used to say we needed a businessman to run the country like a business that being president is nothing like running a business and this is making that glaringly obvious.

@@marccolten9801 Even worse than that. The Department of Health and Human Services conducted an exercise from January to August of *last year*, simulating a global pandemic, to find the shortfalls in the federal government response and offer recommendations to shore things up.
It was called "Operation Crimson Contagion", and the draft of the report was released in October 2019, marked "not to be disclosed". And it literally predicted everything that's coming to pass, because it showed how ill-prepared we were.

I am reminded of the mayor in the movie Jaws. He wouldn't close the beaches when the chief and scientist warn him about the shark.
Sadly it's about money and reputation with people if it will effect that it's no good. So they let it get worse until they are not able to make it go away and have to face it jaws had that as well when the shark was finally blown up.
Yea it’s practically the plot of most disaster movies-
The scientist(s) warn the -insert government official- , but the official disregards the warnings because either they either have alterior motives that would be negatively affected by public knowledge or is just simply too ignorant. It isn’t until it is too late that the official is finally forced to accept the problem, but by then the -insert disaster- has progressed too far that it becomes irreversible.
I'm still amazed the mayor doesn't learn shit by the next movie, what a dick
We're gonna need a bigger vote.
So when humanity jumps the shark? Does that mean we win or lose?
To anyone upset with LegalEagle making a video pointing out the awful response our government has provided us; Understand that we need to demand more from ALL of our elected officials. Democrats and Republicans need to stand up and demand our government take this more seriously. It is already too late to get on top of this but the recovery does not need to be as painful as it will be without proper action.
Call your senators and representatives.
Hey the democrats tried making a home sick leave bill, but only extends sick leave for only 20% of the workforce.

"What would you say to the millions of Americans who are scared right now?" "I would say you're a bad reporter."

To be fair, the reporter was Jake Tapper.
Don't forget the "that's a terrible question" and "that's an excellent question" responses depending on whether the question is critical of something he said, did, or knows, or if ithe question is stroking his ego.

Legal Eagle: Did the government botch the Coronavirus response?
Trump: That's a nasty question! You're bad lawyer!
It didnt imo. It is however starting to do so now. Italies initial response was the right one. Yeah, 5% of the population may die if the vulnerable fail to selfsegregate, but is that worse than the economical consequences of this response? We are only seeing the beginning, the plan by the virologists involved having this be the new normal for most of the time (with a few breaks) until a vaccine comes around which they expect in 12 to 18 months at the absolute earliest. People will starve, and not just 5%.
Italy got it completely wrong thinking they could just go about their ordinary lives. The economic consequences of losing 5% of the population are massive (more likely closer to 1%). We can keep people from starving through thoughtful government policy.
@@rsmith02 Well, 5% was based on recorded lethality and overshooting becouse some people think the numbers are downlplayed.
If itd be lower, that would make it just more true. There is no *good* way forward but as for the economic consequences of losing 5%, that would be true if it was random. Its not. Im not saying we shouldnt care about the life of an 80 year old, however, the economical impact is lower than losing a young adult or even a child. And theres thus far no recorded deaths under 10, under 40 its only been recorded to be lethal in 0.2%of cases for each agegroup except the under 10 year olds where it sits at zero.
It increases to 0.4% to 40-49 year olds, 1.3% for 50-59, 3.6 for 60-69, 8% for 70 to 79 and 14.8 to 21.9% (depending on dataset, suspected vs confirmed cases) for 80+.

Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton but won in the electoral college, which is why he's president. I don't care much for Clinton either, but I find Trump to be both extremely selfish and moronic and I've spent his entire term dreading his reaction should we ever be presented with a serious situation.
Currently, the president is extremely keen to reopen the country and get Americans back to work, which is terrifying because that's how we'll end up with a bunch more dead people.

Because we might buy a lot of an item intending for it to be for us for a long time, but if worse comes to worse and we have to get some of that toilet paper off to raise capital for something else.

Same goes for everyone who is selling hand sanitizer, gloves, and face masks at insane markups knowing that they are pivotal for anyone who is sick to stop the spread of this illness.

I think the bigger problem is that he's an idiot. Sure, it's dangerous to have businessmen as political leaders because there's a chance they'll use that power to their advantage. But "smart" businessmen would know that in a situation like this they actually need to perform well or even their businesses would be negatively affected. "Smart" businessmen know how to lead. This idiot doesn't know how to do anything but somehow still fervently believes he's brilliant. And your lives are in his hands.
J every country has government advisors, usually other politicians, but the have advisors to assist the leader in determining the best course of action

I think he expected the people he fired to be like objects on a shelf. When an object is on the shelf it's easy to get immediately. People have lives, and they don't stay in one place. They suddenly had to find new work, and maybe they had to travel to where that work is. It's weird that in his mind he's going, "Okay, Sally is on the top shelf. Bob is on the bottom shelf. John is here somewhere on the shelf. Okay, well I got most of the team back. Let's talk about disaster. How much is it going to cost, and how are you going to do it with a lot less than that?" I then expect him to reply with a typical "I'm a business man" and "...the most beautiful chocolate cake."

@@Valerie-s6n Of "solved" cases. Currently of about 43.000 active cases as of yesterday, as the numbers of today will be made official in about 2hrs, around 2.850 are in serious condition, while the rest has mild symptoms. Sadly "serious condition" in Italy means a chance of 25% per day that you will die of the disease.
Italy's response is partly to blame, but overall biggest issue is that places like Italy and Spain are major tourist attractions. Especially from China.

It's silly to use the reasoning of, we haven't used them or that they haven't done anything in a long time when we are talking about a PANDEMIC. That's the whole point, we don't want to have to use them, but these are one of the things you end up paying for and keeping around regardless of use, they should just be one of the costs of running a government.
Like are you going to get rid of the NTSB if there haven't been any plane crashes in 1-2 years? No of course not, because these types of groups are essential and time is of utmost importance to these types of groups. Even if you could get these groups back "quickly" just the mere fact that they all have to travel to one central location to do their job is time lost or how about the fact that if they aren't part of one of these groups that they wouldn't be getting as much information about things that are going on in order to be able to keep people safe.

I texted a friend a few weeks before we went into lockdown and said, "I have a feeling this is going to be really bad." My feelings regarding support from the federal government are best summed by Sir Ralph Richard's words from the beginning of the movie The Battle of Britain (he was playing the British Ambassador to Switzerland, and he had just spoken to the German Ambassador): "We're on our own. We've been playing for time, and it's running out." Signed, an RN.

Urazz You missed his point completely. Your reasoning only makes what Trump said even more egregious, not the other way around.
you haven't noticed all the millionaires in the government? Yes it totally is a business.
Urazz bruh we aren’t dealing with a potentially nasty disease outbreak. We’re dealing with an extraordinarily dangerous and resilient outbreak right now. Even if the government response is as robust as you claim, it’s already too late to be “gathering supplies.” We knew about this threat ahead of time and many other countries have been working together to combat it. We did not implement treatment and testing plans in time.

and in the very end, he brought the one thing up, that trump did right (closing travel to china). and thats it.
that whole video is full of strawman fallacies. it isn't tackling how trump actually handles this crisis as the video claims with it's title.
I wish I could see the alternate reality where trump was tweeting about a president making the exact same decisions he has made. I have a suspicion he would not be so complimentary of his own actions. It's funny when Obama was President Trump constantly lambasted him and yet here we are and his actions are quantifiably worse

What about the trash where Pence was I charge of the team heading this up.. when he really is just the telephone between this group and trump.
You are all pathetic
Hysterrifying.
How can Trump be caught in so many obvious lies - yet still have supporters??? I legitimately don't get it.
The ONLY reason Trump wants this info classified is so we can't see how woefully unprepared he was and horribly he messed up.
And anyone else would have done better? No official in the US would have been prepared for this. The best that can come of this is the infrastructure crumbles and we build a new government that isn't garbage.
@@iviaverick52 Literally anyone who would have had the forethought to not disband the Pandemic Response Team would have done better in this situation than Trump. Sure, it would've costed more money to keep them, but preventative measures are there for a reason.
We see the Trump administration purging CDC experts, cutting CDC funding, blocking CDC from participating in classified meetings about Corona, preventing early Corona testing to artificially lower the official count for the sake of publicity, and consulting facebook for policy decisions.
Why do so many people seem to think that no one could have done better? -_-
@@DJHise Because they have to protect their own egos since the man they voted for thinking he was an expert is demonstrably the reason why our response is so botched.
The DHS used to partner with Sandia National Labs and Los Alamos to run simulations of being distasters hitting the untied states, and predicting the faults with our potential response, where our infrastructure needs to be improved, and so on.

Keeping everyone in the dark when the situation was clearly getting out of hand
Not admitting to his mistakes when he goofed up leaving the country unprepared for this pandemic outbreak
Getting rid of precautionary measures to prevent said disaster of a pandemic from getting out of hand

The first mistake your country made is having a system where people have to pay for a test that is vital for those who suspect they might be infected.
The Doctor even if they were free we don’t have enough to actually get everyone needed tested...
Lol in the UK we can't pay for it or get it anyway. Doesn't matter when supply can't meet demand.
@The Doctor Go get one then.
the first mistake was not using the known good test and instead creating a far more complicated (likely more expensive as a result) that does the same thing but worse and less reliable.
Nothing is ever free. People pay for things either way.
in other words..."a lack of preparation" is the lawyers way to say "you are at a level of incompetence that should not be allowed to exist"?
I'd assume so. He was so unprepared that he actively dismantled many of the preparations already in place, then turned around and claimed to have no knowledge of it.
and that reminds me of the statement "ok so the president wasn't perfect but is there really any reason to impeach? the election is just around the corner. how much damage could he do in the the last few months"
response: "a lot"
and here we are...
but to be "fair" i don't think the replacement would have done much better in terms of response time. but then again. days and even hours can make a big difference.
should have never disbanded the response team. that it self is negligence more worthy of impeachment imo. you do not cut out the safety nets and unique emergency response teams just to save a quick buck.

We went from three times a week to (hopefully) once a week. Mostly for fresh stuff, our pantry is well-stocked due to the recommendation of the German government to ALWAYS have enough for at least two weeks ready in the case of emergency.
In my town, we don’t even have enough tests to give to those who show symptoms. And are just saying “you have aggressive pneumonia... but *under the table* you have COVID19.”
And now we know that testing isn't even necessary. You aren't required in most places to test anymore at all. You're supposed to treat it like any other illness because perhaps we are finally coming to our senses.
