Coronavirus

Like when Trump was litteraly talking about it in the SOTU address in January, which ended with Pelosi ripping up his speech saying that it was full of nothing but lies? Or when Trump banned travel from Wuhan, and the Dems freaked out calling him a dictator Nazi, vs Pelosi telling everyone that everythning was fine, come on down to Chinatown and have a good time?

Thank goodness the WHO was out in front of this....(cough cough). Rather than telling the truth, they were playing cover up for the CCP telling everyone that there was no known human to human transmittion, and that it's not an airborne contagiant. And when they get called out for it and cancelled (defunded), all of the MSM and libs start balling their eyes out saying how much we need the precious WHO.

it's not really as simple as you put it nor i would i say the others had it right.

Why do they ignore this? You can't have a rational conversation with these people when they simply refuse to acknowledge reality! Seriously.

They always say "We need to have a conversation" and then declare that the sun is pink. You can't get anywhere with them...friggin' blinders.

That explains why a lot of people say its not Trumps fault.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...d-19-outbreak/
Fake news I guess.....pretty obvious it is since that was a Friday...m sure you can find the real news on it.
"NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) .....do hereby find and proclaim that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020."

I dont particularly like Friday the 13th as the day. I go with March 16th. But back to March 13th...
"But it is only the beginning of what we’re really doing, and now we’re in a different phase. We had some very old and obsolete rules that we had to live with. It worked under certain circumstances but not under mass circumstances. They were there for a long time; they were in place for a long time. And we’re breaking them down now. And they’re very usable for certain instances, but not for this.
To unleash the full power of the federal government in this effort, today I am officially declaring a national emergency...."

And then March 16th.."
Q So is this the new normal until either the summer?
THE PRESIDENT: We’ll see what happens. But they think August. Could be July. Could be longer than that. But I’ve asked that question many, many times."

You remember the blue army dont you? I guess not. The govt was here to help. Help with what? Guess you forget easy..."the war". The war against who? "the invisible enemy".
You talk about world war Z.....this is well beyond that. Our enemy is invisible.

And yet just a few days into the war, Trump had his Vietnam press conference. I guess it never happened. This is the one where Trump had the joint chiefs talking really tough. Maybe nuclear weapons? But it ended up being how they napalmed the hell out of a beach....actually they were warning people in dinghys near Miami.

This isnt the first 'war.'...do you remember the first "war" of Trump? ISIS? No....although we see an altogether different scenario then. It was Opioids. Who led it? Do you remember? I'll give you a hint....it was a doctor and his last name starts with F. But of course this is all imaginary and not true.

Like they were back in Feb?

it was spreading in new york much earlier in february as after-the-fact testing of samples in hospitals revealed. much of the early cases in new york arrived from travel from europe. accurate testing (as well as predictive modeling) was needed to know where it was and where it was spreading across the US. as people travel freely it will spread due to being highly contagious (particularly with superspreaders) before symptoms appear (if they do at all) and also when symptoms are mild and the person doesn't realize. as blunt tools, distancing and masks can help with this tricky aspect of the virus.

it's not really as simple as you put it nor i would i say the others had it right.

Actually...it was that simple.

I flew to Hawaii on Jan. 6th and the first headline about this "Wuhan virus" hit about a week after I got there. The Chinese said they had it under control and the WHO stood next to them nodding. The Chinese REFUSED to allow US or European specialists to enter the country to examine it...but red flags were flying because the chicoms locked down the city. Everybody was like "WTF is going on over there?"

I'll bet you a million dollars that Trump had the top dogs from the CDC in meetings with him trying to figure it out. They were likely telling him this could be serious, and that banning travel and a possible lockdown may be necessary. What to do?...drop a bomb on the economy when virtually everyone in Washington would fight against you? Remember that that impeachment nonsense was in full boil...courtesy of the stupid Dems. The shit didn't hit the fan until all those old folks died in Seattle at the beginning of March.

I suppose you would say the lockdown should have occurred before the middle of January? That would indicate that we were "prepared" for this? Trump was in a tough spot...being lied to by the international specialist that are funded to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to be the canary in the coal mine with this stuff, attacked by the opposition party in the most deliberate way possible and having a media that would REJECT ANYTHING he had to say about it regardless of how early on it was.

Just for giggles, let's take Trump out of the equation altogether...would Hillary have been on top of it? Biden? Was there anyone on this planet that was ahead of it? Who's your man/woman, stefan? You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, pal.

Who did what/where/why and when was 6 months ago...considering how shitty this has been for so many the "here and now" is really what is most important.

Like a marriage that's gone bad...one of them is screaming about some shit that happened years ago and the other is like..."OK, fine...now what? Where would you like to go from here, sweetheart?" That's the question I'd be asking. Looks like you enjoy lamenting.

Kurt, what you just did was absolutely outstanding...thanks for that! Especially how it validates what I've been saying all along in regards to the events of early/mid January.

The dems are lying about all this...they just had that POS Tammy Duckworth saying that Trump did nothing while it raged early in the year. Lie, lie, lie.

Of course we weren't "ready" for the virus invasion...we're not "ready" for and alien invasion, either...or how about a big asteroid strike? Ain't ready for that. Expecting the government to be truly prepared for any large scale event is hopeless...the government is like cops, they show up after the shit's hit the fan.

A lot of wishful thinkers walking around with handfuls of poop out there...or crying over spilt milk.

[oldno7]

Yep--and the stefan/biden clones can't dismiss any of it.

It's all factual with links.

It's good folks like stefan get educated cause they lack in smarts.

Actually...it was that simple.

I flew to Hawaii on Jan. 6th and the first headline about this "Wuhan virus" hit about a week after I got there. The Chinese said they had it under control and the WHO stood next to them nodding.

i disagree it's that simple

I suppose you would say the lockdown should have occurred before the middle of January?

i wouldn't

Just for giggles, let's take Trump out of the equation altogether...would Hillary have been on top of it? Biden?

my comment about navarro's strong early warning was just an example. the president did partially followed his suggestion on travel from china but only placed limits on travel rather than an outright ban as navarro pushed for. of course the virus was spreading from china to many other countries and would naturally arrive from other locations in due course so it was just a matter of time before it arrived in increasing numbers from elsewhere. but the president also continued to downplay the virus publicly for quite some time.

i can't say what anyone else would have done. i want the executive branch as well as congress and state leadership to take situations of this ilk seriously and work together to find an effective and least damaging approach to addressing the situation given the knowledge at hand (and using most any means to obtain accurate information). to be clear, with the clear threat to the economy and public health that this poses, i would believe any president, including president trump, would take it very seriously.

Who did what/where/why and when was 6 months ago...considering how shitty this has been for so many the "here and now" is really what is most important.

i think understanding what happened is also important to prepare for the future so that we're in a better position for an unknown pandemic (or something related)

...considering how shitty this has been for so many the "here and now" is really what is most important.

Like a marriage that gone bad...one of them is screaming about some shit that happened years ago and the other is like..."OK, fine...now what? Where would you like to go from here, sweetheart?" That's the question I'd be asking.

i am also greatly concerned about everyone affected by this. i agree about the emphasis on where to go from here matters and i believe leadership (at all levels) is part of that and matters through and through.
