      😱OMG....the Trump Administration not only downplayed the seriousness of the #CoronavirusPandemic (despite warnings since January), they gave #China *nearly 18 tons* of key medical supplies—including VENTILATORS. @SecPompeo POSTED VIDEO.🤬 h/t @File411pic.twitter.com/aJdUU5O8vr

      You would rather people in China die of lack of ventilators at the peak of their epidemic? That's heartless. Ventilators should go to wherever the epidemic is peaking. If China is not sharing them back now, that is indeed a complaint—not if we did the right thing then.

      Context is critical. I support helping other nations. However, the Trump Administration repeatedly misled the American people, did NOT prepare for the oncoming #pandemic, and now, has left us woefully short of critical supplies.

      Criticize the Trump administration. Don't hold back. I don't. What does sending ventilators have to do with it? It was the smart thing to do even to protect ourselves (blunt it there, protects us here) and it was the humane thing. Might have been the only thing they did correct.

      Unfortunately, the coupling of a lack of ramping up production of medical supplies + giving supplies away has put us in a very bad situation. Note: unlike test kits, vaccines, or antivirals, ventilators have zero impact on viral spread.

      I think we can fully criticize and not mince words about their own lack of readiness. But demonizing sending help is wrong. China getting its epidemic under control is ultimately what we need to protect ourselves too. True in every potential pandemic. Let’s nor make that harder.

          I'm sure it was in hope to keep the virus away. Send help to the other nations who need the help. At the time they needed the help we did not need them. I'm sure the president thought this virus was going to end up not being as aggressive and sever as it ended up being.

          Do you have any idea of China is helping the rest of the world at the moment ? You can pretend you do not know to justify your discrimination of China and Chinese people. Pushing away helps from China seems to be your only intention at a pandemic.

          In your opinion - we cut off from China - and they quarantined their country - so I totally disagree w you
