What data would have supported this?
Only God could have developed the test and a vaccine for this virus before anyone on Earth new its name or its genetic code.
Why do you hold him to a standard that no human could possibly achieve?
Careful. You’re going to run out of straw eventually.
on his hunch
So he followed the data?
WuWei:He’s busy managing a crisis. You’re here carrying on.
Is that what you call tweeting about his ratings? And berating Gov.s?
I certainly don/t. It is, however, what I call his implementation of the advice of the experts at the CDC and those coordinating the production and distribution of needed supplies.
DougBH:The only criticism regarding travel bans at the time was that Trump should not have had one. Now, its why didn’t he know earlier what would happen later and have taken action sooner
Wrong. The criticism has always been that it was too late and that the virus was already here
And you feel it could have been kept out of the US?
The data available in late March, of course.
sikofit:on his hunch
So he followed the data?
No. He did neither. He ignored it until he couldn’t anymore

And you feel it could have been kept out of the US?
No. I do feel it could of been contained though if we had been halfway vigilant
Yes they’re not done…they’re “dancing”.
The dance goes on until this thing burns out or we get a vaccine.
For now. Don’t jump the gun.
NickN: JayJay:Hmm…I recall people telling me a coordinated effort amongst federal, state and local officials was a dumb idea.
What could possibly go wrong not coordinating?
And no…the “market” cannot be the “invisible hand” coordinating the effort.
This is a market buster.
The Federal Government is the “BIG” hand assisting the states, far from invisible.
By outbidding them for supplies they need?
Thanks for the help.
Nancy Pelosi just passed a law insisting that the President stockpile needed supplies, and authorized billions to do that.
He is supposed to ignore that law and not stockpile that equipment?
Perhaps the governors complaint should be with Nancy, not Trump.
WuWei:Yes you have.
Show me where
I’m being lazy today. You jumped on the K-pop bandwagon more than once.
I mean why would anyone be upset that thousands of Americans will die because of his incompetence?
TDS pandemic
2 million Americans die every year.
Under Trump. See…?
WuWei:He’s busy managing a crisis. You’re here carrying on.
Is that what you call tweeting about his ratings? And berating Gov.s?
You’re here.
NebraskaFootball: WildRose:Of course it will. And once the partisan hacks finally run out of hot air you’re not going to like the outcome.
The outcome being thousands and thousands of Americans dying? I already don’t like the outcome. How about you?
Potential outcome.
Negative. Multiple thousands have already died. More potentially will die. We will be over 3,000 in the next couple of hours.
WuWei: sikofit: WildRose:Unless you’re over eighty and already in failing Health with respiratory or cardiac issues there’s a hell of a lot of things up that are far more likely to kill you than this damn virus
Sorry but you are ■■■■■■■ wrong. I have a compromised immune system and if I catch this I am straight up ■■■■■■
Are you quarantining yourself?
Yes. I am. I’m managing my business via Facetime and texts
Good.
sikofit: WuWei:Yes you have.
Show me where
I’m being lazy today. You jumped on the K-pop bandwagon more than once.
I knew you wouldn’t be able to come up with anything
sikofit: WuWei: sikofit: GWH:He hasn’t drug his feet. He’s stayed on top of it, and I’m sure he’ll make you proud in retrospect.
6 weeks from the time of the travel ban to declaring a national emergency. 6 weeks. From 15 people that will soon be close to zero to an the most cases I. the entire world
But no he didnt drag his feet
When did the data support the declaration?
Mitigation efforts should of began at the same time as the travel restrictions were put into place. Instead we waited 6 weeks and screwed ourselves in the process
Ok, so which “mitigation measures”?
I think we have a Mission problem here. Perhaps a Commander’s Intent problem.
METT-TC dependent.
2 million Americans die every year.
That’s tragic. It doesn’t change the facts around COVID-19 though.

Data or hunch? Choose.
