7. I think the virus' history is different then we think

I should have been tested if I had had it from around New Years 2020 until late Jan. 2020.
It was a dry cough, low grade fever, a sense of malaise, being tired, and body ache. I know
that the first diagnosed case in America was supposedly in Seattle in mid Jan. 2020* but I
think it was here before that. A neighbor and friend who was in the sciences has told me
that she has some friends who are flight attendants and they told her that they knew of cases
in 2019.

Why I think a lot of the pandemic in America and worldwide rests on Trump's head. This off
the top of my head so I might be wrong on some of my facts and figures.

> In 2017 he disbanded our Pandemic Task Force.

> In 2018 he fired the CDC's epidemiologist who was on the ground in Wuhan, China
looking for potential dangerous viruses in particular the sars corona viruses.

> In 2019 he pulled us out of international group (I think they were in China too) called
PREDICT that was looking for potential dangerous viruses.

> In November of 2019 our intelligence people told Israel of the C-19 virus and Trump
should have been told about that or in his PDBs (which would mean he would have had to
read it ). Supposedly it wasn't long after that Trump and Kushner invested into
Hydroxycholoroquine and their own C-19 test kit (instead of the one produced by the W.H.O.)
both of which turned out to be useless.

> In Feb. of 2020 Kushner and Pompeo sent 18 tons of our PPE to China .... supposedly Trump
and Kushner owed them money .... which left the medical personal and 1st responders on the
east coast w/out the needed PPE so they had to make their own masks, wear garbage bags,
and make their own face shields. Many of them got the disease some died and 1 E.R. doctor
got the disease, became depressed and took her own life.

> Trump pretty much refused to work with the W.H.O. on the international pandemic and
left it up to individual states in America to respond to the disease instead of having a unified
national response and a plan of action.



* The White House told the University of Washington & Seattle's health department not to talk about it.

But in good news Joe Biden put together a truly great team to take on this nightmare. Dr. Fauci, Dr.
Walensky, Dr. Mike of the University of Minnesota, David Kessler, and so are the best of the best.

sorry to




Biden and Harris leaving the White House Rose Garden 5/13 after announcing a major win in our war against the C-19 pandemic.

Cremains were deposited in the Ganges, not bloated decomposing bodies, right? SunSeeker May 2021 #23
When I was in India in 1994 I was on a boat on the Ganges. former9thward May 2021 #25
As a tourist/foreigner, I don't think you can assume what they were thinking. SunSeeker May 2021 #26
I was there and you say I can't know what they were thinking. former9thward May 2021 #27
I am restating what is reported in the article. SunSeeker May 2021 #28
YOU were the one who said it was cremains not bodies. former9thward May 2021 #29
The ARTICLE says it is cremains that are traditionally put in the Ganges. SunSeeker May 2021 #30
You need to visit India and stop reading articles by Western journalists. former9thward May 2021 #31
That blog you're citing to confirms it's CREMAINS that are traditionally put in the Ganges. SunSeeker May 2021 #32
NO. It is cremains AND bodies. former9thward May 2021 #33
OFFS. I'm not denying there's bodies in the Ganges. I'm denying "Indians think nothing of it." SunSeeker May 2021 #34
