Bros, please read the news below from USA Today, it might be of help to you with regards to your assertion.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/03/fact-check-did-obama-administration-deplete-n-95-mask-stockpile/5114319002/

Also, nobody goes into national stockpile unless there is an epidemic or pandemic, so Trump admin would not have just literally gone there. There are what we call emergency protocols that when certain things are used, they are replenished by the user because people only go there when the need arises and it was empty.

I can counter each point you have listed with facts but I don't have the time now. It is obvious your source of news must be the MSM and it's mostly fake news. Try watch Trump briefing one or twice online, its on Youtube and you will get a better perspective.

I find it interesting that you failed to mention that the article you highlighted clearly states the Trump administration failed to replenish the stockpile as well. Don't be selective with the information you share.

livelovelaugh:

No one said immigrants are not job creators. Point remains the pandemic has caused job loss in large numbers in the US and he saying he is pausing immigration for now to help citizens get more employed is a good move. Even the bible says love your neighbor as yourself not more. Imagine being a citizen of a country and you’re not been put first... his move is a good one. Might be unfair to the outside world but at least everyone arrived earth with a country. Those unemployment claims are too much.. millions!!

Again, you have failed to show me how "putting America first" has improved the life of the average American. Please enlighten me on one single policy the Trump administration has taken to improve the life of the average american in the name of "putting america first"? I will wait.

Please don't be misled, the bread and butter of Trump's administration will always be cutting down legal immigration and tax cuts.

And dont forget the class of people who do the necessary but dirty jobs in America - Immigrants.

livelovelaugh:
I don’t blame him. He has to put American citizens first. All those millions of people who have become unemployed have to be attended to. Imagine you’re a citizen of America, you’ll want your president to put you first. It might be unfair to potential immigrants but it is what it is. At least everyone arrived earth with a country. If people keep getting jobless, America won’t be the admiration of outsiders. In New York , we have not been able to step out for more than a month now, imagine those who sustain themselves on daily paid jobs, it’s not been easy anywhere in the world. Stay safe out there folks.

This argument is sadly false. Immigrants are known leading job creators in the Us.

@Potential immigrants: have you noticed that since Trump became the President, the response to every problem is immigration?

@put Americans first: According to your post, you live in New York. I lived in Connecticut now I’m North Carolina. Please may I ask, Since the “Put Americans first movement”, have you noticed any positive change in the quality of your life? Did you get affordable healthcare? Did you get a salary increase? Did you get more paid sick leave or did you get affordable tuition?

@America admired by outsider: Sorry to burst your bubble. The world is now aware America is nothing but living on past glory. Please tell me what’s to admire about America? In Canada and most European countries, Medical expenses are free. Mandated sick leave exist. College tuition is affordable. Again, tell me, how is America great?

@Daily paid jobs: The fact that people exist in America who live Hand to mouth is a testament to the failed system.

Nuel4:
you didn't see the tweets were democrats politicians in New York were urging people to go out and have fun including DeLevin who said if you are not in the rally in Chinatown you are missing out?

You didn’t see the President calling the virus a Hoax?

kikero:


93 million American citizens traveled outside the US in 2018 alone..

And with those high numbers, many travelled to COVID19 hotspots too

Also, don't forget, internal toruism, Americans travelling to other parts of the country, aids in the spread, then there are the foreign tourists who come in their millions to the US.

Thus, the spread of covid19.

Nigeria?? Not that many of us travel abroad.

Please where did you get this stats from? My experience here has been the opposite. Americans don’t travel that much.

MT:


Read what I wrote slowly. No contradiction whatsoever. When I say Ignorant, I mean they do not understand what really go on in other parts of the world. They RARELY travel out of their country. Even within their country, they are not well informed about happenings there. Forget what Hollywood makes you to perceive about Americans, they are quite ignorants and largely uninformed.

As someone who has been living here for some time, I can confirm this is very true. The average american is not well informed or travelled. Hollywood lies.

GamalNasser:


CNN told you that ?

��� you didn’t even read the report you cited. Please read your source and answer the simple question - Did Trump disband the Pandemic Team or not?

GamalNasser:


How did he fail to arrest the pandemic , you leave the glaring failures and sabotage by democrat Governors and want to blame Trump instead.. Americans are wiser now , they know the true enemies

Oga please don’t be offended but your post reeks of ignorance. Please tell me, have you been to America? How do you know the democrats are to blamed? Please open your eyes and read with an open mind. Donald trump failed big time. He disbanded the pandemic response team responsible for pandemics. He failed to use the Presidential emergency act to compel companies to make PPEs and ventilators. Nurses and doctors are relying on PPEs donated by individuals and companies. He also failed to mobilize the CDC to set standardized testing for Coronavirus. Trumps failures are too many to mention. As we speak, Some Republican governors Refused to shut down their respective states. The few who did shut down their states are agitating for speedy reopening. I laugh.

Nuel4:
the whole world failed my friend. The whole world is on lockdown not just USA. Everybody miscalculated the severity of the virus it is not just USA. How exactly was he supposed to arrest the pandemic when democrat politicians, including a mayor in New York were encouraging people to go on about social gatherings?

New York is the only reason USA have ugly numbers. New York alone has more cases than Italy and China combined and New York is completely a democrat state and their democrat politicians encouraged their people to live normal lives and have fun.

Your ignorance is appalling. It is clear you have never been to America. You are citing screenshots from Fox News as proof of Democrats negligence. Ignorance at its finest.

It’s seems you have forgotten that your messiah and personal savior, Donald Trump, called the Virus a “hoax by the Democrats”. Your messiah also assured the public the virus was nothing but the common flu and assured everyone that it would pass in the summer. But you wouldn’t highlight that, The dems are to be blamed.

You also don’t know your lord and personal savior, Donald Trump, disbanded the Pandemic response team created by Obama (a Democrat) to fight potential pandemics. You don’t know that. But go ahead and blame the dems.

You also obviously don’t know that New York City is the most populated city in America. With two extremely busy international airports. Nope you don’t know that. But blame the dems you must.

You also don’t know or acknowledge that the top 10 states by economy in the Us are all Democratic states. The bottom 10 states are all run by Republicans. You obviously don’t know that right? But go ahead and blame the dems.

People like you in Nigeria who have clearly never been to the US but think you understand this country are highly misguided and extremely uninformed.

Have a nice day

Death is the destination we all share as humans. In spite of your wealth, status or political power, someday, you would die. What matters is your legacy i.e how you lived your life. After death, the life you lived would be remembered in terms of how much lives you improved or how much pain you created. That's all. Let this be a reminder to us all, someday we will all die. Let your life be a force for good not evil.

But where is the Atlanta in the photos na?

sean079:
I do not understand the debate about drugs/ alcohol usage and healthy eating habits in relationship with death from coronavirus. Both are extreme catalyst leading to coronavirus death. Just like the health minister statement on oyo state Governor recovery that it has nothing to do with the type of medication he applied to treat himself, the facts still remain 90% of patients will definitely defeat the infection disease if no underlying health condition.

Thats why all hullabulla and alarmist in Nigeria about the virus spread are just causing more panic and distraction. The coronavirus can be 100% cured and prevented is fact.

European and drugs usage are like twins especially smoking of cigarets. Out of 100 persons probably just only one will be non-smoker now juxtapose with convid-19 that its main point of attacks is lungs. Thats definitely leading to death. The weather and travelling destination are other consideration.

Nigeria will never get to the level of mass death because:
Weather is unfriendly to the virus
Receive less visitors from abroad
Less % of population engage in unhealthy eating habits Like junk and fast foods that caused obesity and other heart related disease
High % of population is non-smoker
Now couple with mild adherence to rules like social distance, face mask n frequent handsanitizing hence no reason for any lockdown

God bless u a thousand times for this!!!!!
Those who have never left the shores of Nigeria would never understand. Everyone is quick to blame blacks but rarely do you find articles and comments calling out the destructive tendencies and drug usages of Caucasians.

valarmorghulis:

Seriously? Biggie's death at this moment?

P.Diddy is a big hypocrite. Please show me one successful artists from Bad Boys who is currently doing well? P.Diddy is one of the biggest black snakes ever.

tubolancer:
Black in America don't follow simple instructions like their white counterparts. When the isolation began blacks were roving abouts not mindful of the dreaded disease. May God help the blacks all over the world.

Oga did you see the videos of young white college students saying they don’t care if they get corona? You all are quick to blame blacks when you don’t know the shit they have been through.

And by the way, if the whites are so good and obedient why use blacks as slaves for over 400years?

DCmonster:
Why have I not gotten it? Why has p.diddy and all the people he is gonna co-host the revolt news with not gotten it? Mad people, black Americans are bunch of deluded alarmists. Over here an average black American will commit a crime and will expect a judge not to convict and send him to jail when found guilty. Over here they don't go to college, they all wanna be gangsters and they hate on the whites for no just reason. All they do is drugs and hoeing around and yet they wanna compete with the whites. Latinos have more morals now than my African American brothers and sisters. For p.diddy it's all about the money. Corona virus knows no race, the blacks dying from it are probably the chain smokers and drug addicts whose lungs are semi-damaged already.

Bros your comment is both insensitive and distasteful. Americans generally did not take Corona serious because of the heavy misinformation campaign from the White House. To categorically call out blacks for being irresponsible alone shows your Bias.

You talk of crime. Brother, I live in America and I have done my research. Whites commit crimes at the same and even worse rates than blacks. Whites are easily forgiven but blacks, not so much. Here read and open your eyes: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/nyregion/nyc-police-subway-racial-profiling.html

and please, don’t come here giving inaccurate information like blacks are completely irresponsible. It is this so called irresponsible people that fought for your right to be here in America. for the past 400 years, Where were you and your responsible ancestors? Where were you when your people were used as slaves? If you and your people were so much better, why is your country a shithole?

You come from Nigeria to benefit from a system you did nothing to contribute to. Typical opportunistic people with zero empathy. This mentality of individual success in the midst of collective failure is why we will continue to collectively fail as a people.

GamalNasser:


True the surgeon General warned People of color to avoid drugs and alcohol at this time

I think the Surgeon was insensitive with that comment. Blacks make up less than 14% of the us population. And yet he pleads with blacks and Latinos to stop using drugs. The man is a clown. Whites make up over 50% of the us population and by default lead in drug usage. The hypocrisy of America stinks. During the crack epidemic, the punishment for crack cocaine was thrice that Of powder cocaine. Guess who uses crack - blacks. And who uses powder cocaine? - whites.

nextstep:
Better.. the chances of Sanders beating Trump is not certain... some of his policies are too far left, and Democrats need a moderate candidate that can swing former Trump voters...

Please sir, can u educate me on Bernie Sanders far left policies? What’s wrong with them. Please I want to learn. Thanks

Openbusiness:
Lol they can never let him win before. But asides from that, democrat people don wake upsee the man for who he really is: a socialist hypocrite con man

Beloved, please can u please explain why Bernie is a socialist conman? Do you know any of his policies? Please enlighten me. I come in peace

Niorte:
Hmmm

When will the tax payers ever going to benefit from the govt?

Another way to fund the poor in the North. This ought to be shared based on effects on each state.

Lagos people for example should have the largest share as they are the most hit and most affected by the Lockdown.

All those who sell loaves of bread on the road, cold soft drinks and gala are not included on that list. These are struggling Nigerians, not the beggars in the North waiting for free food.

At such a time as this. Every body should be catered for except those who think they don't need federal govt help.

In the US for example, those who earn 75k or below are entitled to $1200 while those who earn above $75k are entitled to $2400 every month.

Here in Nigeria, we always give out money to an imaginary poor people who do not contribute anything to the economy and give no benefits of any kind to those who actually pay their taxes and struggle to work.

80% of the poor are in the north....that's where the money is going but there are only few affected states in the north.

Federal Govt is your government ONLY FOR THE POOR??

Oga this is incorrect information. It’s a one time payment of $1200 per adult for those who earn $75k or less. An additional $500 is added per child.

If you earn above $75k, you receive nothing.

Stop sharing incorrect information.

iPOOPinURmouth:
they never started it on purpose. i even feel the usa sent it to them. china was close to be come best economy in the world before they got struck by this shit. something is not right here

This never seizes to amaze me. Like do people not have a brain? China makes money by serving as the worlds manufacturing center. China makes money by selling to the world. Why would China make a virus to affect its customers all over the world? What do they stand to gain?

stanech:


some tweets from your democrat friends



@Lymphomation

Anyone else worried that @FDA is not acting independently with this decision - that commissioner is trying to please the president? https://abcnews.go.com/Health/coronavirus-live-updates-fda-anti-malaria-drugs-emergency/story?id=69867398

@oliverdarcy
We can’t let this #Hydroxycloroquine treatment get out. That would be a win for Trump, and we can’t have that.

Please what makes you think they are registered Democrats?
Have you seen their IDs and do you know them personally?


And what makes you think I’m a Democrat? ���

Have you heard about the $2Trillion stimulus? Do you know the role the Democrats played in passing $2Trillion stimulus? Do you also know the role the Republicans played?

In as much as I personally don’t like Trump, I don’t wish him any failure with the Corona Virus cos Corona affects us all.

My brother, again, please have an open mind. It’s much more complicated than you think you know.

stanech:


You can be in the US but that does not mean you know whats going on more than others and the fact that you do not know that the democrats wants trump to fail means you dont know whats going on at all,....

Again, I mean no harm but you mean that there are some people who live in Nigeria, people who have never been to America, possibly know and understand America better than me who lives in America? Wawu.

stanech:
Democrats are literally hoping Hydroxycloroquine doesn’t work, just so they can say Donald Trump was wrong. #COVID19 #coronavirus

Please don’t be offended, why do you think Democrats want Trump to fail? And why do you think Democrats are the bad guys?

I ask because I live in America and what’s happening here is completely different from what you think.

Additionally, I’m also curious and surprised by the huge Nigerian support for Trump since most Nigerian Trump supporters have never been to America.

Righteousness89:
I Have said here That Chloroquine will work on people not Because it is Chloroquine but Because It involves President Donald John Trump...

There is a Serious war Going on.. The War Against the World Inhabitants!

President Trump is a Hinderance to what they wanna do..

From this week they are gonna unleash all sort of lies and propaganda against Trump. The Motive is to Ensure he is Not Re-elected! Almost all News Media have been selected for this ...

The News Media may not be airing President Trump's Brefings on Covid-19 again.. you can imagine how deep they have gone..

It's a Huge War. It's the Nwo and Globalist against vs Donald Trump, the Nationalist and those against The Nwo.

As The Believers Worldwide lift up our voice to Heaven. GOD Almighty the owner of Wisdom give Wisdom to president Trump to handle these affairs.

Don't say you are in Nigeria, it does not affect you.. They are not after President Trump, they are after you and I.

President Trump Presidency is a Mercy Period for the World...

Pray For President Trump

You believe that Chloroquine would work not because of its inherent chemical properties but because of Trumps involvement confirms your bias.

This level of bias is not good for anyone. I understand that we all have some inherent bias but to blindly follow any individual often leads to destructive outcomes.

And lastly, may I ask why you love Trump so much when you have never been to America?

Thanks for this. Had no idea. Been a while Boss. How have you been? I remember all your solid advise and support on the USA student thread. Hope you are doing good?

musicwriter:


That shouldn't surprise you. Whats going on is not a natural epidemic but a new type of warfare between China and the West, after failure of Trump's trade wars to achieve desired result. This's plan B but the hunter is now being hunted.

Chinese people aren't stupid and I so much love them for standing on their two feet.

The cause of this whole situation is that at the beginning of this century, economists have predicted that Chinese economy would surpass US in the year 2020 and that China would officially become the new world power by the end of this year. Whats going on is a supremacy battle gone wrong.

And for those of you simpletons who'll come here to exclaim ''conspiracy theory'' go check my previous posts on corona virus. I did predict that this disease will spread to the West in retaliation. I said this some weeks back when China was still the epicentre.

Its a pity we have no idea whatsoever about whats going on in this world.

This does not make sense. China needs the west to survive. China is the manufacturing capital of the world. The west (U.S and Europe) are China's biggest customers. Ask yourself, if you were china, what would you gain by killing your biggest customers?

ursullalinda:
Wonder what US is not doing right?.....their own is getting out of hand and alarming.......God please heal the world.

A number of reasons:

1. Healthcare is prohibitively expensive in America. People would rather stay home than go see a doctor in America. It’s hard to believe but this has been my experience here.

2. Donald Trump and the Republican Party has done everything possible to undermine the american health care system. They have tried to make it more expensive as well as cut healthcare spending. Obamacare wasn’t the best but it was way better than anything America previously had.
Obamacare led to giving 40million America’s who have never had any health insurance access to affordable, effective healthcare. However, Trump and the republicans are currently actively trying to abolish Obamacare. If you doubt me, google it.

3. Donald Trump and the republicans are focused on the Stock Market and not healthcare.
Donald Trump does not care about the average american. He only cares about reflection and the stock market. That’s the reason he called the virus a hoax. Trump had ample time - he was notified in December but downplayed the severity till March. That cost the us ample time to prepare. Now America is just playing catch up.

4. Trump made it difficult to perform testing so as to reduce the number of infections in America. WHO had a functional test in January but Trump and his team refused to use the test and instead opted to develop an test from scratch. That test not only failed but proved wildly ineffective. The us just commenced using the WHO test. I think this heavily cost the us in terms of testing speed.

5. Due to the aforementioned reasons, It is still impossible to get tested here in the us. My friend in Connecticut had symptoms but could not get tested. She is doing okay now.

6. The president has consistently refused to use the power of the presidency to compel companies to make ventilators and medical supplies. As we speak doctors in America are running dangerously low in medical supplies. If u doubt me, google am.

And lastly, Of the $2Trillion stimulus plan, less than $500million goes to corona virus. The rest is meant for corporate bailout. The country needs more than a trillion to directly deal with the virus.

Disaster can happen to any leader but when u combine incompetence (Trump) with a system that prioritizes cost over human lives, epic failure is bound to happen.

NextD18:
They are always first in everything.

Actually not true. The us healthcare system is not as great as you think it is. They have the doctors, hospital and technology but the cost of healthcare in the us is the most expensive in the world. I’ve been living here for more than 5years and I can tell u that the average american is afraid of seeing a doctor because of the cost. This corona virus only shows how ineffective the american system is.

LegendHero:
Trump already systematically blocked Nigerians from entering USA since 2017. The rate of visa denial from that period till date calls for concern from critical minds. Now he’s trying to make it public and his true color will show more is he is re-elected.

Anyway there are lot of his foolish supporters in Naija so they should rejoice coz their lord and savior is already closing the gate against them.

MAGA for life like the sheeples say!

This is what baffles me about Nigerian Trump supporters. How can you insult and criticize Buhari and praise Trump? Like are you mentally impaired?

Where are all the MAGA supporters?

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration plans to add to the number of countries covered under its travel restrictions, including Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, along with others in Africa and Asia, according to administration officials who have seen the list.

The administration plans to place visa restrictions limits on travelers from seven new countries: Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania. The countries wouldn’t all face blanket bans on travel to the U.S., but could have restrictions placed on specific types of visas, such as business or visitor visas, administration officials said.

The officials said the list isn’t final. The names of the seven countries was first reported by Politico.

The administration plans to roll out its expanded travel restrictions on Monday, marking the three-year anniversary of the initial travel ban Mr. Trump signed on his seventh day in office.

The administration has said its policy restricting travel is necessary to prevent potential acts of terrorism, as countries on the list don’t adequately vet their travelers to the U.S.

Its first order, which banned travel to the U.S. by most residents of seven majority-Muslim countries, was struck down by a federal court and withdrawn. A second iteration of the ban, issued in March 2017, was also struck down by a federal judge who said it still amounted to religious discrimination against Muslims.

A third version of the travel ban, issued in September 2017, was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling in June 2018 on the grounds that federal law gives the president broad authority to suspend entry to the U.S.

That current restrictions blocked travel by individuals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and North Korea and by political officials from Venezuela. The administration briefly included Chad on the ban list, but removed the country in April 2018.

Unlike the initial list, most of the new countries don’t have majority-Muslim populations. Several of them, however, have had relatively high rates of their citizens overstaying visas in the U.S., according to Department of Homeland Security data.

In the 2018 fiscal year, 24% of Eritreans on business or visitor visas overstayed their permits, along with 15% of Nigerians and 12% of people from Sudan. Those compared with a total overstay rate in the category of 1.9%.
