Dear mhaze,

Wait a second, do you really believe what you are trying to put? I'm not sure as you might be taking the piss.

If you had attacked my premise as baseless and left it at that you might have an argument. But you didn't did you.

You instead followed it with two specific quotes about how good Trump was and how prepared America was therefore strongly putting the position the USA could not be at the top of the list for those reasons.

Now you are trying to claim you meant no such thing.

Are you still standing by you President is the real question here. How do you think he is going now?

Well?

You have backed an idiot and now you are trying to muddy the waters with slippery denials. Very unedifying old chap.

Yes SR, it get that you desperately want to change the subject or hide the fact that you fabricated the claim.

But you said I'd insisted " that travelers from the US were not the primary source of infections entering Australia".

AND I DIDN'T. And you can't show where I said anything even vaguely like that. That I said other things in the same thread, unrelated to the issue of people coming from overseas to Australia, is neither here not there. But you desperately want to muddy the waters on this. Desperate men take desperate measures. Foolish men take foolish measures.

"How do you think he is going now?"

Desperately trying to change the subject?

Well I might address this in a while but in the meantime I'd prefer to let yours lies dangle in the breeze.

Dear mhaze,

ROFL.

You claim "That I said other things in the same thread, unrelated to the issue of people coming from overseas to Australia, is neither here not there."

You said it in the same bloody post mate. Here it is again in its entirety;

Quote

SR wrote: "The USA is at the top of that list because they contributed more infected travellers to Australia than any of the rest."

Well actually, nowhere does the Guardian article or the release from the Dept of Health say that the list is in any particular order. So did SR just make that bit up? Is that why there was no link? Perish the thought :)

I know in the land of Trump Derangement Syndrome, everything Trump does is, by default, wrong, but just for the fun of it....

The Countries Best And Worst Prepared For An Epidemic...."The United States was named as the country with the strongest measures in place and it came first with 83.5 out of 100."

End quote.

Why lie? You have been called out, found out and out done, and don't have the good grace to quit.

And of course you don't have anything to say about Trump right now because there isn't very much you could say is there. You are going to wait to see if you can put some kind of typical mhaze spin on the hole you have again dug yourself.

When are you lot going to cut this bloke loose?

I just saw on the news where a lot of private hospitals are owned by Chinese companies who have just decided to sack their staff and close down.

Another wake up call for Australia. And what an FN embarrassment for the LNP who have been pushing for these sorts of takeovers as part of their jobs and growth economic policy grounded in Chinese cash.

"President Trump has referred to the coronavirus outbreak as “an unforeseen problem,” as “something that nobody expected,” and as a crisis that “came out of nowhere.”

"IT IS DEMONSTRABLY NONE OF THE ABOVE....THE SYSTEM WAS BLINKING RED”

"The systemic failure stems in part from the fact that in recent decades successive administrations including TRUMPS, have not treated pandemic preparedness with the degree of seriousness they reserved for addressing other top security threats, from, say, terrorists or adversarial nations."

"Luciana Borio, in 2018, then director for medical and biodefense preparedness at the National Security Council, told a symposium that “the threat of pandemic flu is our number-one health security concern.” Serving under Trump who’d come to office on the pledge to wall off the United States, she noted that such a threat could not “be stopped at the border.” The very next day, news broke that National Security Adviser John Bolton had shuttered the NSC’s unit for preparing and responding to pandemics, of which Luciana Borio was then a part. The White House official in charge of spearheading such a response to infectious threats departed as well and was not replaced.

TRUMP REFUSED TO BELIEVE THERE WAS A CREDITABLE THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES FROM A PANDEMIC, he got it TOTALLY WRONG, and the US will have to wear the consequences of his poor judgement and inaction.

Hey Paul1405,
"The very next day, news broke that National Security Adviser John Bolton had shuttered the NSC’s unit for preparing and responding to pandemics, of which Luciana Borio was then a part.
