Did I Hear Pence Say 'We Flattened The Curve Now And We Can Do It Again'?......

If we would have had a nationwide plan and implemented it - instead of 50 different plans - we wouldn't have to flatten the curve again. It would have been flattened and stayed flattened.

Now we're right back where we started and we're making the same mistakes and we'll be facing the same problems we did the first time (i.e., overwhelmed hospitals; increased death; shortages of PPE; shortages of health personnel; lines for testing; etc).

Why haven't these people learned anything by their incompetence from the start? Why do they keep making the same mistakes?

Until Trump is gone from the scene - this will continue to happen. He must be defeated in November,

That even now, months and months since China first informed the world of this virus, testing in most of the USA is STILL difficult to get, and takes a week or more to get your results.

Why weren’t our “leaders” putting better infrastructure in place while we were locked down in March and April? Why are the cases increasing on a record breaking basis? And Pence just keeps blabbering away with his happy talk about how we’re in a “better place.”
