Trump knew that Pandemic was coming in late January... but ignored it.

But certainly you expect him to be on top of his job, for the people, when he's spending so much time fighting an impeachment hoax from dec - feb once it finally got some fair attention put on the Dems' Deceit Doctrine.

Trump was acquitted in Early February. 

He didn't act on COVID-19 until mid March. 

This is certainly not an excuse that will fly to anyone that's not rabidly partisan.

California is a great example, WestCanMan! governed by Democrats, stay at home orders were the first in the nation on March 19th. Trumps administration has yet to endorse stay at home distancing.

This is a typically idiotic post about Trump/covid.

The notion that a state like California, with 40 million people in such a small area, could completely ignore covid until March 19 and then come out of it smelling like roses, is dumb AF. (NY had Demmies at every level fwiw, And Nancy Pelosi was in California on February 24 telling people not to social distance. She was telling them to come to Chinatown and she was hanging out in the middle of a huge throng of people. Just google Nancy Pelosi February 24 in Chinatown.)

I would go into hiding if I ever said anything that stupid. 

Covid is kind of like a career path. Where are you are now isn’t just the result of things that you did in the last cpl weeks.

This is so stupid and such a blatant lie that it needs to be posted in the Maple Leaf Web hall of shame.

Stop destroying your, brain, by listening to deceitful Dem news outlets.

  • 29Jan Trump launched COVID 19 Taskforce feat. Dr. Birx, Dr. Fauci, etc
  • 31Jan Trump restricted flights from China ---against wishes of Dumb Dems
  • early-Feb Trump gave USA private sector (Pharma) legal permission to start on a vaccine 

go to whitehouse.gov and you get a realtime lineup of analysis each day action was taken since 29Jan ... there's loads of stuff I didn't mention here, from February.

You are hurting your intelligence by experiencing Dem's deceit.

Taskforce didn't do anything until May. 

Restricting Travel to China didn't do anything, the New York Outbreak came from Italy. 

We still don't have a Vaccine sooooooo.

Since January the Taskforce has constantly did important things which Dems news outlets don't want you to know about or they want you to trivialize ---and that's your irresponsibility, not President Trump's. True?

Moreover him restricting flights to China so far, means the USA went from about 75,000/week landing here from China to now about 5,000/week via the restriction ---so I am ROFL at the nonsense you posting in here.

Cite them. 

As noted in a previous thread. It's thought that the Virus was in North America in early January. 

It's called COVID-19 for a reason. It existed in 2019. 

Again, this is not a critique of Trump, everyone was caught flat-footed by the virus thanks the China's deceit. 

But Trump is on record minimizing the threat as early as March. 

Now America is projected to blow past 100,000 deaths by the Summer.

If the outbreak came from Italy then that’s proof that the china travel ban worked, because it means that the virus had to take a circuitous route to get to the United States. That means that the travel ban bought the US time. 
 

Look what people like Nancy Pelosi were doing just two weeks before Trump started closing down the country. The Dems were a country mile behind trump in terms of realizing the seriousness of the outbreak. The chair of the house intelligence committee is also a Democrat, so you can’t act like there’s good reason why they carried on like they had no fucking clue what was going on. 
 

The very first thing that the Democrats did during this whole crisis was to start praying that everyone in the hydroxychloroquine trials died.

uhhhh, no, it's called CoronaVirus. And as early as 2018 in fact U.S. Officials on the ground in Wuhan sent cautions/complaints to the USA GOVT specifically, I repeat, specifically about how irresponsibly the Wuhan lab workers were physically handling the CoronaVirus bats via the CoronaVirus research and testing processes.

No, that's not true. Everyone was caught flat footed because the nation was, preoccupied, with the impeachment hoax on Capitol Hill.

And remember, the Dems are on record minimizing the threat in January when Trump applied the flight restrictions. But, of course, you are a Dem ---so you refuse to discuss that.

It proves that unless the China ban was universal it was irrelevant. Trump didn't ban travel to Europe until March.

Yep, no one knew the gravity of the threat until March. But not everyone had intelligence reports in January saying how dire this could be. Trump was being told to ask for Social Distancing in February. He instead downplayed the virus.

That's rhetoric. He was touting a drug that didn't work. And studies have proven it. 

Another drug has shown more promise, but he didn't hock it nearly as much.

Shows your ignorance. It's A Coronavirus called Covid-19. SARS and MERS were also Coronaviruses.

Shows your deceit, by being ignorant enough to think you can parse and fleece the same disease's strands and trek within that one (1) sole lab in Wuhan. lol. Your dishonesty here is, colossal, just like the Dems require in their voters.

I'm not really interested in your conspiracy theory that this is a Chinese plot. 

My only claim is that this virus was spreading in December 2019 (Why it's COVID-19 and not COVID-20) and travel from China was unrestricted then. It's easily plausible that this disease was in North America by early January and people thought they just had the Flu. 

Infection numbers are likely much higher.

Your inability to understand this doesn't make it go away.

Here's social distancing personified on Feb 24th, by the woman in the US who knows exactly what Trump knew:

No, it's not rhetoric, it's fact. From the moment trump said "HCQ" the drug was being demonized, side effects were being exaggerated, trials were being discredited, and the first small test done in the US was suddenly deemed to be the most conclusive drug trial since the first tribal shaman drank some tea. 

Quote

Trump doesn't care if it's HCQ or something else. He just wants a treatment. You have an agenda and some fantasies, that's it.

The circuitous route is proof the ban didn't do a goddamn thing.  Maybe it would have worked if the world was flat but circuity is a real bitch eh?

So is an impeachment hoax ---which cancelled out an preparedness/readiness strategy

Yes I recall all the times Republicans interrupted proceedings to point out the clear and present danger of unpreparedness.  It's just so unfair.

Of course it did. I already put the data in this thread showing that.

It didn't stop it entirely, but Canada's lack of a travel ban gave us 41x the number of covid deaths that Australia had. We had more than California.

The truth is a real bitch, isnt it?

You don't have a clue what it stopped, it's taken you until May 5th to barely acknowledge Trump's ban wasn't a ban at all ffs.

 Australia had about 100 times more than Nunavut.  California is 25 times worse than BC.  No doubt web forums in Australia and California are filled with people as equally appalled as you.

If Trump ignored it, then so did Trudeau, so did the mainstream media, so did the World Health Organization, so did the UK, so did Italy, Spain, etc.  This topic is revisionist history.  Get the eff outta here with this bullshit.

The difference between you and I is that I use fair comps, you blurt out idiocy and/or misleading garbage.

BC would have 937 covid deaths if their population was 40M, and California's population density is 6 times as high as BC's is.

FYI LA County has twice BC's population, and LA county is 1/80th the size of BC. California did way better than Canada did, period. 

And FYI 2,254/937 is not 25, that's just your blatant stupidity again eyeball.
