On Wednesday, the Nodaway County Health Department announced 13 new cases of the Coronavirus. As of Wednesday, there were 60 active cases in the county, including three current hospitalizations. This mirrors a national trend. After dropping to as low as 50,000 new cases a day, the number of cases per day has risen to 100,000 a day, plateaued for a while, and has now plateaued at around 130,000 per day.
No reasonable person can argue that Joe Biden’s policies on COVID have been anything but a catastrophic failure. More people have died under Biden than Trump. When he became President on January 20th, 2021, we were supposed to have Dr. Fauci in charge, and a whole of government effort deployed in order to eradicate the virus and get everyone vaccinated. But now, COVID continues to rage on.
It doesn’t do any good for Joe Biden to blame Donald Trump for the present situation. Sure, Donald Trump failed to protect us from the virus, didn’t help us enough, surrounded himself with grifters and virus deniers, and encouraged science denial. But Joe Biden has had 1½ years now to clean up Donald Trump’s mess.
Now, the Biden Administration is engaging in the same failed policies that Donald Trump engaged in against the monkeypox virus. His CDC failed to expand testing until late June. They tested 2,000 people for the monkeypox from mid-May to the end of June, when an optimal response necessitated testing 15,000 people a week. The Biden Administration had on hand 2,400 doses of Jynneos, a vaccine for monkeypox. The FDA is dragging its feet on approval of a vaccine plant in Denmark that has 780,000 doses.
The Biden Administration is showing the same kind of incompetence in its response to the Monkeypox virus that the Trump Administration showed in its response to the Coronavirus – lack of coordination among federal agencies, the fact that the CDC refuses to recognize a crisis when it’s right under its nose, the fact that it makes excuses when it can’t compile data, and a complete lack of engagement at the top.
We were told that Joe Biden had a wealth of experience in government, and that Trump’s incompetence would be replaced by his competence. That did not happen. And then he wonders why nobody likes him.
