She just made a big mistake.
According to Breitbart News, Governor Gretchen Whitmer attacked President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus stating that American lives will be lost “because we weren’t prepared.”
Whitmer said, “The problem that we have right now is, we don’t have enough test kits. I heard your conversation with the man from FEMA — we need test kits because these numbers are informative to only to a certain extent. We know that COVID-19 has infected a lot more people than just those who are being tested and testing positive. And that’s why in order to make decisions, we really need better data. We’re all building the airplane as we fly it right now. We’re doing the best that we can. We’ll continue to be aggressive and continually monitoring what our next move. But we need the federal government to get us those test kits.”
She continued, “We need clear directive and guidance from the federal government. Frankly, a patchwork strategy of each state doing what they can, is — you know, we’ll do it if we have to, but it would be nice to have a national strategy.”
She added, “Had the federal government really started focusing when it became clear that the whole world was going to be confronting this, we would be in a stronger position right now.”
She concluded, “Lives will be lost because we weren’t prepared. Our economy will struggle longer because we didn’t take this seriously as early enough as a country. And there are going to be consequences of that, but right now I’ve got to solve problems, and I need the federal government to help me make sure that I’ve got what we need for our frontline providers, in particular, but also ventilators for people that are going suffer.” You can watch a clip of Whitmer’s comments here.
No governor!!!!! He give the the state and local officals to do what ever is necessary to help their state residents up to and including a limited ” martial law ” and only relay on federal government when they need it
To begin with, while it is true we weren’t prepared as a nation to confront a situation like this, Rome wasn’t built in a day, as the expression goes. This Governor should know this and ignoring what this President and his administration has accomplished in such a short time period getting those test kits produced and out to the public, the research accomplished and found a drug that may help in fighting the virus while working at whirlwind speed to produce a vaccine specifically for it.
I don’t see you or anyone else helping Trump or the American people. All you do is sit behind your desks and b***h. You need to find out why WHO didn’t do their job when they found out,even before Trump, what was going on and that the virus was transferrable between people.
