countoff 331 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 As much as I dislike career politicians, I'm not going to point fingers at them (either republican or democrat) over this. I think there are a lot of people (including myself) that arrogantly thought our medical advances have made us impervious to a pandemic that would demand so much in the way of medical supplies. "Oh those CDC guys are always talking Doomsday. Ignore them...we've got REAL problems we have to deal with." OK...we realize our mistake. We need to learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
