If Kamala Were President, I Wouldn't Be Worried About Ebola
Let's review Covid's timeline under Trump 1.0 to understand why I am worried now
Oh, yay. Ebola.
If Kamala Harris were the president, this would be a clickbait article. But not with this regime, not with its drunk criminals, grifters, and serial killers running the show.
Remember when the mad clown withdrew the United States from the world’s primary international pandemic relief organization in January 2026?
It’s hard to remain a glass-half-full guy, let me tell ya’. Especially with eyewitness accounts like these:
“When Ebola arrived in our village, we did not yet know what it was. My younger sister was the index case of this 16th outbreak in the DRC.
“After returning from working in the fields, she began to suffer from severe headaches. She was pregnant and nearing the end of her pregnancy. We took her to the hospital, but the treatments had no effect.
“Then, one Monday, she started bleeding from her nose. That night, she passed away. We still did not know what she had died from, but she had just given birth to a baby girl. So I stayed at the hospital to care for the newborn, not knowing that the child had been infected by her mother.
“A few days later, the baby also died. Then one of my aunts fell ill. She died too. After that, another aunt. And then it was my turn to be struck by the disease.
“I remember the moment I realized I was infected. I was vomiting blood. I had no appetite. I went days without eating. I started praying to stay alive.
— Chantal, Ebola survivor, from a story told to a staffer from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
"From one day to the next, I saw my wife begin to vomit, have diarrhea, and then bleed from her orifices. Two days later, the tests revealed she was positive for the Ebola virus. She died the following day.
— Alydor, Ebola survivor, from a story told to a staffer from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
If you thought Trump’s handling of Covid was bad, wait until you add RFK Jr. and Ebola to the mix. In case you’ve forgotten, Trump oversaw the growth of a highly preventable pandemic. He has since withdrawn the U.S. from the world’s primary medical organization for handling pandemics, the World Health Organization (WHO), which the U.S. helped found in 1948.
He has gutted the CDC, convinced 30% of the country that vaccines are bad, and sent scientists fleeing to other nations.
The now-famous virus from Wuhan should have been a footnote in medical history (not that several deaths are footnotes to the families involved). It should have been something nobody really heard much about.
You see, my friends, twenty years before COVID came along, there was precedent for solving pandemics like Covid. This precedent is recorded by history as the first SARS epidemic in 2002. Like its more famous cousin COVID-19 (aka SARS-CoV-2), the original SARS (aka SARS-CoV) was a coronavirus thought to have started in a Chinese outdoor market.
SARS-CoV spread to 29 countries with 8422 cases and 916 fatalities. This was considered a big deal at the time.
According to the National Library of Medicine:1
After an unprecedented global public health effort, the epidemic was controlled within 7 months of its original occurrence. The scientific effort demonstrated unusual international cooperation and was facilitated by electronic communication. Media coverage was incredibly accurate and provided worldwide pictures to augment scientific data.
A bit of luck helped science prevent the virus from spreading further, but the international medical community learned important lessons.
So when, on January 5, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a fairly routine report of an unknown virus presenting SARS-like symptoms in Wuhan, China, the United States should have been prepared.
It wasn’t.
Americans have erased Trump’s disastrous response from memory.
I, however, have not. And I’ll remind you again: Trump and JFK Jr. have gutted the CDC and withdrawn the U.S. from the WHO.
We are not ready for anything more than a common cold virus.
The Timeline of The Trump Virus
Here’s a review of the 2020 COVID timeline using Trump’s own words (with annotations) so that we can remind ourselves of what kind of horror may be in store for us as he shit posts against his enemies while the rest of us bleed from our eyes.
January 24:
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
January 30:
“We only have five people. Hopefully, everything’s going to be great. They have somewhat of a problem, but hopefully, it’s all going to be great. But we’re working with China, just so you know, and other countries very, very closely. So it doesn’t get out of hand.”
February 2:
“We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 10:
“Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that’s true. But we’re doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s going to all work out fine.”
February 13:
“In our country, we only have, basically, 12 cases, and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered. So it’s actually less.”
February 24:
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 26:
“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
Feb. 27:
“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
On February 27, Representative Lloyd Doggett expressed deep concerns and a bit of outrage over the administration’s handling of the pandemic:
On February 28, the WHO raised its risk assessment of a world pandemic from “high” to “very high.”
At this point in the timeline, it's important to remember that nothing is more important during the early stages of a pandemic than for governments to develop a rapid response.
February 28:
“We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2:
“You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?
Then, separately…
“A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4:
“Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot people will have this and it’s very mild.”
Then, separately…
“If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5:
“I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
Then, separately…
“It’s going to all work out. Everybody has to be calm. It’s all going to work out.”
Then, separately…
“The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6:
“I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
Then, separately…
“You have to be calm. It’ll go away.”
Then, separately…
“Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right?”
Huh? Then, separately…
“I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
Yeah. Maybe. SMDH.
March 7:
“I’m not concerned at all.”
On March 9, the White House announced that the U.S. had tested one million people. In truth, only 4,000 were tested.
March 10:
“Just stay calm. It will go away.”
Then, separately…
“This was unexpected. … And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
On March 11, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the WHO had determined that “COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.”
March 11:
“The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low.”
Then, separately…
“It goes away….It’s going away. We want it to go away with very, very few deaths.”
Then, separately…
“The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low”
March 12:
“You know, you see what’s going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that’s what we’ve done. We’ve stopped it.”
March 13:
“I don’t take responsibility at all.”
On March 13, a total of 14,000 tests had been administered, despite administration promises of between 1.5 million and 4 million tests per week, depending on which administration official was making the promise.
March 15:
“This is a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something that we have tremendous control over.”
March 16:
“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,”
March 17
“This is a pandemic. … I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
March 21
“HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains — Thank You!”
On March 23, the WHO’s Tedros said, in response to Trump’s reckless Tweet, “Using untested medicines without the right evidence could raise false hope and even do more harm than good.”
This locked Trump into grievance mode. After that point, the WHO was an enemy. They are no longer part of the United States’ arsenal against disease thanks to Trump's withdrawal from the organization.
Tedros then pointed out that the growth of the pandemic was becoming exponential. Whereas it had taken 67 days to grow from one case to 100,000, it only took 11 days to reach the next 100,000, and four days to reach the next 100,000 cases.
Nations across the globe were locking down.
March 24:
“Easter is a very special day for me. And I see it sort of in that timeline that I’m thinking about. And I say, wouldn’t it be great to have all of the churches full?”
“We’ve never closed down the country for the flu. So you say to yourself, what is this all about?”
Meanwhile, on that same day, at an emergency world summit, the WHO’s Tedros said, “We are at war with a virus that threatens to tear us apart.”
On March 26, the United States became the country with the most coronavirus cases, despite the virus originating in a country with more than a billion people.
Well, lucky for us, we won’t have a repeat of that, because the Lunatic-in-Chief has withdrawn the U.S. from WHO.
April 3:
“I’m feeling good. I just don’t want to be doing — somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know, somehow I don’t see it for myself. I just don’t. Maybe I’ll change my mind.”
April 14:
“Today I am instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization’s role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus.”
April 19:
“Now we’re going toward 50, I’m hearing, or 60,000 people [dead from the coronavirus].”
On April 20, the death toll passed 40,000.
April 23:
“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
That statement prompted the makers of Lysol, a popular disinfectant, to warn people2 to never, under any circumstances, inject themselves with their product. It is unknown how many of Trump’s dedicated followers attempted to do so anyway.
“You see states are starting to open up now, and it’s very exciting to see.”
By April 23, more than 26 million jobless claims had been filed. The death toll reached 50,000 on April 24, just four days after it had reached 40,000.
People were freaking out. Remember? No?
Why? Because the memories are painful of seeing loved ones die? Of course, that’s fair. But Trump’s destructive behavior was just getting started.
It’s not something we should be forgetting.
April 29:
“It’s gonna go away, this is going to go away.”
On April 29, the death toll reached 60,000.
On May 5, one of the many root causes of inflation triggered by the pandemic that would later be blamed on Biden began to take hold as consumer debt hit its highest levels in history.
On that same day, the death toll hit 70,000.
May 5:
“There’ll be more death, that the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine. And I think we’re doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, it’s going to pass, and we’re going to be back to normal.”
On May 6, 2020, The Brookings Institution issued a report stating that American children were facing a level of food insecurity “unprecedented in modern times.” Democrats attempted to launch a program to expand the food stamp program, but the attempt was blocked by congressional Republicans.
On May 7, it was reported that 33 million jobless claims had been filed since the start of the pandemic, up 7 million in a little more than two weeks.
May 9:
“This is going to go away without a vaccine.”
On May 11, the death toll hit the 80,000 mark.
It is worth mentioning here that most studies indicate that death tolls were underreported during these early months.
Right-wingers, of course, claimed the opposite was true, blaming COVID deaths on everything from the flu to bad molars.
May 11:
“Coronavirus numbers are looking MUCH better, going down almost everywhere. Big progress being made!”
On May 22, the government reported that more than 38 million jobless claims had been filed since the beginning of the pandemic, an increase of five more million from the previous week.
On May 27, the U.S. death toll reached the 100,000 mark.
May 29:
“We will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization”
When Trump left office, he left more than 450,000 dead Americans in his wake. Another half million would die soon after because of a virulent anti-vaccination campaign that began at his and his cult’s urging. Most of the people who died perished because they weren’t vaccinated.
They died because The Trump Virus became Trump himself.
The collapse of the economy under Trump
Trump’s response to the COVID crisis also created an economic nightmare that Biden and Kamala Harris spent four years fixing while receiving almost no credit.
Remember those government checks you got? Those and other pandemic-related rescue programs cost the U.S. government $5 trillion. This is the very definition of inflationary government behavior. They were a good thing. Some of them happened under Biden, too. But they came at a cost.
Americans weren’t told, of course, anything like this:
“We’re gonna give you a couple of thousand bucks to tide you over, but eggs are gonna triple in price in two years. K?”
Sidebar: The real reason egg prices tripled is that two or three dairy companies control the egg market and opportunistically gouged the public in the wake of The Trump Virus, but that’s a separate post.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the government’s assistance programs…
…contributed to strong consumer and business demand, which tightened labor markets (between mid-2021 and early 2022 the ratio of job vacancies to unemployed workers doubled), putting upward pressure on wages and prices.3
The fresh cash created a bottomless pit of demand, which clogged the ports to the point that container ships were lined up in the ocean outside ports such as Savannah and Long Beach.
One of the first things the Biden administration realized it had to do was to fix those ports, so the administration quickly enacted programs and legislation to improve port infrastructure. It took them barely a year to unwind the worst of it, much to the surprise of international logistics experts.
Biden inherited a crisis and quickly solved it. He then secured more than $500 million in port infrastructure projects and attacked the problem so thoroughly that such seemingly minor details as intermodal container chassis shortages were addressed.
During the pandemic, oil was, and I do mean this literally, pegged at zero dollars per barrel for a while because world trade took such a big initial hit.
Its inevitable rise was sure to help trigger price increases, especially as subsidies began to flow into Americans’ pockets.
The triple whammy of clogged ports, a broken supply chain, and huge demand fueled by government assistance programs pushed prices up.
But inflation doesn’t happen instantly. It happened during the space between Trump’s exit and Biden’s second year.
Guess who got the blame for that?
What exactly was, and is, The Trump Virus? Was it the pandemic he failed to contain, one he seemed to enjoy as it helped him sow division? Or is it Trump himself?
And what will Trump Virus 2.0 look like?
What should we do if a threat emerges in the U.S.?
One thing you can’t do is depend on the federal government. It’s useless beyond measure with the clown show in charge.
If you live in a state like California, pressure your representatives to establish an emergency response system.
If you live in a red state, move, or quarantine yourself like a prepper.
Notes
Facts about Ebola
The following information is directly quoted from the World Health Organization. Don’t expect much information out of the Trump regime, which is too busy transforming the U.S. into a failed state:
Ebola disease (EBOD) is a rare but severe illness in humans (1). It is often fatal.
Ebola disease is caused by viruses that belong to the Orthoebolavirus genus of the filoviridae family (2). Six species of Orthoebolaviruses have been identified to date, with three known to cause large outbreaks:
Ebola virus (EBOV) causing Ebola virus disease (EVD)
Sudan virus (SUDV) causing Sudan virus disease (SVD)
Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) causing Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD).
Ebola disease first occurred in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks: one outbreak was of Sudan virus disease in Nzara in what is now South Sudan, and the other outbreak was of Ebola virus disease in Yambuku, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.
While there are licensed vaccines and therapeutics for Ebola virus disease, there is no approved vaccine or treatment for other Ebola diseases, such as SVD or BVD. Candidate products are in development.
Early intensive supportive care including rehydration and treatment of specific symptoms, can improve survival. Seeking early care can be lifesaving.
It is thought that fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are natural hosts of the Orthoebolavirus. The virus can get into the human population when people have close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as fruit bats, chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, forest antelope or porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.
People can get infected with the virus from another person by direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with:
the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with or has died from Ebola disease; and
objects or surfaces that have been contaminated with body fluids (like blood, feces, vomit) from a person sick with the disease or who has died from the disease.
People cannot transmit the disease before they have symptoms, and they remain infectious as long as their blood contains the virus.
Health and care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with Ebola disease. This occurs through close contact with patients when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced.
Burial ceremonies that involve direct contact with the body of a person who has died can also contribute to the transmission of Ebola disease.
Symptoms
The incubation period or interval from infection to onset of symptoms varies from 2 to 21 days.
The symptoms of Ebola disease can be sudden and include fever, fatigue, malaise, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. These are followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain rash, and symptoms of impaired kidney and liver functions. It is important for health and care workers to be on the lookout for these symptoms.
Despite a perception that bleeding is a common symptom, this is less frequent and can occur later in the disease. Some patients may develop internal and external bleeding, including blood in vomit and faeces, bleeding from the nose, gums and vagina. Bleeding at the sites where needles have punctured the skin can also occur.
The impact on the central nervous system can result in confusion, irritability and aggression.
Diagnosis
It can be difficult to clinically distinguish Ebola disease from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever, shigellosis, meningitis and other viral haemorrhagic fevers because symptoms at early stage of the disease are similar.
Confirmation that the person has an Orthoebolavirus infection is made using the following diagnostic methods:
reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay
antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
antigen-capture detection tests
virus isolation by cell culture.
Samples collected from patients are an extreme biohazard risk; laboratory testing on non-inactivated samples should be conducted under maximum biological containment conditions. All non-inactivated biological specimens should be packaged using the triple packaging system when transported nationally and internationally See Diagnostic testing for Ebola and Marburg diseases.
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ebola-disease
The Trump regime withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization on January 22, 2026. It was a founding member of the vital international health organization when it was formed in 1948.
If Ebola mutates into an airborne disease or becomes significantly easier to contract through bodily fluids, we here in the U.S. will be the last to know.

Thanks for reading!
Absolutely! Now, god only knows, but knowing how trump feels about ppl who don’t bow to him, from anywhere around the world, especially USA, or are the darker shade of beige, I think trump will just let them all die, actually he’ll want them all to die!
