Day 29 Of Coronavirus Shutdown

We are on day 29 of the Coronavirus shutdown. This really is a sad day for America.. Sigh.. I'm trying to wrap my mind around this.

I may offend some people in this blog post. I'm just going to put that out front right away. And honestly I don't much care! This is a platform to speak my thoughts and that's just what I'm going to do.

Every time I think our dip shit leader can't screw things up even more, He screws them up more! Every time I think he can't possibly do something more stupid. He does something more stupid. This guy is something from another planet.

President dip shit is now putting a halt to U.S funding for the World Health Origination.. What?? Are you freaking kidding me?? Is this a dream? Someone pinch me.. There is no way in hell that in the middle of a global health crisis (PANDEMIC) that he is actually going to stop U.S funding to the WHO. This just can't be true..... But alas... It is.. My mind is completely blown. There will be many, many more deaths to come without a WHO that is empowered.

Trump announced this on Tuesday. He's accusing the WHO of failing “in its basic duty” to initially warn the world of the public health crisis that is believed to have originated in China. 

Trump of course however failed to acknowledge his own refusal to take action on the pandemic warnings. But you know.... Apples to oranges right?
I saw a quote from a man named Richard Horton. Who is the editor in chief of the Lancet medical journal. He described Trump’s decision as “a crime against humanity,” tweeting “every scientist, every health worker, every citizen must resist and rebel against this appalling betrayal of global solidarity.”

Cutting the U.S. Contribution's out of World Health Origination's budget, which is around 15% during the biggest projected pandemic of the last century is an absolute disaster. Now I'm not saying that the WHO response was perfect. I'm not saying that it doesn't need looked into or revamped. However in the middle of a global crisis and global pandemic is absolutely NOT the right time to be doing it. I mean come on! Lets use our head here.

So what could happen now that the U.S. has cut funding? Here is a article pulled from TheConversation.com below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"These funding cuts may cause the WHO to go bankrupt in the middle of a pandemic. That might mean the WHO has to fire staff, even as they are trying to help low- and middle-income countries save lives. It will also mean the WHO is less able to coordinate international efforts around issues like vaccine research, procurement of personal protective equipment for health workers and providing technical assistance and experts to help countries fight the pandemic. More broadly, if the US extends these cuts for other global health initiatives coordinated by the WHO, it will likely cause people in low income countries to lose access to vital medicines and health services. Lives will be lost.".

This is not just about us! This is about all countries. Especially low income countries. Maybe some of you don't care about that. BUT YOU SHOULD! We are all human, and we should be helping our fellow human right now. Not pulling funds from the only organization that can help in this kind of manor, on this kind of global scale.

This is a big deal. And this truly is devastating news. This is once again, a sad day for our country.

I want to apologize to the WHO and all the countries that will be affected due to president dip shit's HORRIBLE decision to halt U.S funding. This is not what America is about. And this is not what he should be promoting right now.
