This is a worldwide problem and is not helped by globalization and political correctness.
When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.
It takes a lot more than that to offend me.
All I said was that dondon was late out of the gate in treating covid as a large threat, and he was, like other leaders. I find it difficult to understand why you can't simply admit it.

Former Obama Adviser Expects 'Historical' Turnout for Trump, Says Biden Is in Trouble
Despite the prospects of a gloomy April as America hunkers down for its battle against the coronavirus, a former Obama adviser predicts that by November, voters will turn out in legendary numbers to re-elect President Donald Trump.
David Plouffe, who managed Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, said on Thursday’s “Fox News Rundown” podcast that there is little Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden can do about it, according to Fox News.
He said Trump’s likely victory turns logic on its head, given a superficial look at the current state of the nation.
“You look at the economic situation and say, ‘How can an incumbent win in that?’ But, you know, no one’s blaming Trump for the damage,” Plouffe said, suggesting a candidate might get traction against the president if the candidate could “lay his crisis response at his feet and connect that to the economy.”
“But almost no matter what happens, can Donald Trump win Wisconsin? Can he win Michigan? Can he win Pennsylvania? Can he win Florida?’ Sure, because his base is so solid. And I think he’s going to turn out voters almost at a historical level on his behalf, so that makes him very dangerous if you’re Joe Biden,” Plouffe said.
But mostly, he said, Biden is on the sidelines.
“There’s nothing he can do about it. He’s not in office. He’s not a governor. He’s not the president. And truthfully, [New York Gov.] Andrew Cuomo, [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom … Donald Trump, citizens want to hear from those folks because they’re the folks making decisions,” Plouffe said.
That leaves the former vice president trying to find ways to get attention.
“So all Biden can do is leverage interviews … leverage social media every day … to communicate how you would handle this crisis,” he said.
Conservative commentator and former presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan said in his column Tuesday that the virus has left Biden with few options.
“If Biden begins to mimic a hostile media, baiting Trump at every turn, pointing out conflicts in his views, Joe will invite the same fate the media seem to have brought upon themselves,” he wrote, referring to a recent survey in which Americans held the media in low esteem.
Buchanan said traditional political attacks could backfire in the current climate.
“But if Biden cannot gather crowds to hear him in a time of social distancing, how does he get his message out? How does he attack Trump without appearing to undermine the president in his role as a wartime commander in chief, where America wants Trump to succeed?” he wrote.
Biden “pops up infrequently in interviews out of the basement of his Delaware home where, sheltering in place, he reads short scripted speeches from a teleprompter,” Buchanan wrote, while Trump assumes the role of a wartime commander-in-chief.
“Moreover, when Biden appears on camera, he often seems confused and forgetful, loses his train of thought and doesn’t remember what he came to say. The sense that Biden is losing it is taking hold, and not only on the Republican right,” he wrote.
Buchanan said there is only one path to victory for Biden — and that would require a major blunder by the president.
“For Biden to win this election, Trump must lose it. And the one way Trump can lose it is the perception on the part of a majority of Americans that he has proven an ineffectual president in America’s worst pandemic since the Spanish flu of 1918,” Buchanan wrote.
“If Trump is seen as the victor over the virus, Biden is toast,” he said.
When the H1N1 (swine Flue) ravaged almost 1.4 BILLION people in 2009 -2010, that should have been the wake-up call for Obama and his administration to ramp up production of certain items to be better prepared for the next potential pandemic. Instead, they let supplies run out without restocking them .......FOR 8 YEARS!! Multiple agencies/ health experts/ etc. told Obama that he needed to resupply the "stockpile" that was used up in the H1N1 efforts, but alas, he nor his administration did any of that!!
Again, democratic leadership FAILED to do something right for the American people. Now we are feeling the deadly effects (partly brought on by the previous admins failure to re-acquire life-saving items), and trying to lay blame on someone who had no control of those choices made before him.
TRUMP2020
P.S. we had a tech 3 years ago that messed A LOT of things up in our company (copiers/ inventory/ vehicles/ etc.), and we are still "feeling his ghost" even to this day. So to say you can't lay blame on someone from the past is bullshit.
Omertà
No worries there will be plenty to blame 45 and the Trump Administration failed polices.
He's making history everyday and breaking every previous President's records. Only one problem it's all BAD!
If you are going to discuss failure to restock, don't forget the liberal state governments like New York and California. hey never requested restocking until after COVID10 cases started to grow in their states and medical personnel w2ere in grave need of them. And then it was discovered that they had been hoarding enough medical supplies to cover their needs but did not want to distribute them at this time. They thought it was better to lie and accuse the Federal Government for the apparent shortages.
And as for allocating funds, it sure took Queen NanNan a long time to do anything other accuse the President.
