Define contained.
He ignored both
Holy ā ā ā ā Really?
Yes. Really. And how would he have ācontainedā it, under your definition of contained?
There is no incompetence.
We cannot develop a test or a vaccine for an unknown virus. We did not even have the genetic code for this virus until the 12th of January within a week we not only had a test that tests were in distribution.
Even from that point if everything had gone absolutely perfectly we do not have the manufacturing capability to produce millions or tens of millions of Tess a week a day or a month in the CDC Laboratories.
There wasnāt even a declared pandemic until March 11th.
āFeb. 1 7 ā China publishes a paper with detailed information on more than 44,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. The data appears to show that COVID-19 is not as deadly as other types of coronaviruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome. The data shows that more than 80% of patients have mild disease; about 14% of cases lead to severe diseases, including pneumonia; about 5% of cases lead to critical diseases including respiratory failure, septic shock and multiorgan failure; and about 2% of reported cases lead to death. Mortality rates increase in older patients, with few cases among children.ā
Feb. 25 ā Algeria reports its first case of COVID-19 ā an Italian adult, who arrived in the country on Feb. 17. This is the second confirmed case on the African continent.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns about the likely spread of COVID-19 in the United States, urging the population to āprepare for the expectation that this might be bad.ā Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director at the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, cautioned during a press briefing: āItās not so much of a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen.ā
Feb. 29 ā The World Health Organization updates its guidance on travel restrictions. While it continues to advise against travel or trade restrictions, it notes that in certain circumstances countries can use travel restrictions temporarily, such as in settings with few international connections and limited response capacities. It says that countries can only justify significant travel restrictions at the beginning of an outbreak to give a country time to implement preparedness measures for an outbreak.
March 11 ā WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declares the global COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. āWe are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of inaction,ā he says, adding that āwe have called every day for countries to take urgent and aggressive action.ā The decision has been made based on input from experts both internally and externally.
you know this is so far beyond just pure partisan vs it if itās not even recognizable as as something Jindo.
Given what was known and the timeline in which it was knighted states somewhere in the first week of January at the latest.
The problem is there was no evidence to justify such a Draconian measure at the time.
I mean honestly what is it specifically that you people think could have reasonably been done to keep us from having 142000 cases today?
I mean sincerely and honestly what could have been done based on what was known at the time.
I mean seriously give us some straight answers because all I am seeing here is blind Venom and hatred that has no basis in reality.!

Itās not rocket science, Iām sure you can figure it out
You certainly canāt thatās obvious.
Hard to believe that when he put in place a ban on travel effective or not I would think the CDC minions would know he was serious and would follow protocols. I donāt believe for a second that Trump said donāt test and track. Also hard for me to believe CDC didnāt do it.

You canāt refute any of those facts. Of course itās a rare occasion you can actually refute anything factual for that matter.
Thereās absolutely zero evidence to support any of those accusations of course but heāll that isnāt slowing anybody down apparently.
I have more faith in their abilities than ours right now.
Right process and right mindset.
Some people in this country were ready to quit after one week of social distancing, for crying out loud.
Once again a completely baseless claim.
Theree is no evidence anywhere that he ignored either.
The one time he did Buck the experts resulted in the one thing that has bought us time to get prepared for the peak of this outbreak and that was the travel restrictions.
Then how did he make his decisions?
Yes, really.
Over 600,000 Americans died of cancer in 2018. Trump failed in his initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
You canāt refute any of those facts. I win.
But you said it.
Mother Nature is a **** and there is no way to defeat her all we can hope to do is try to adapt to the changing conditions.
This is a newly emerging virus thereās never been a threat of this kind in the history of this nation.
Dunno yet. So far cases went up over 300% last week, curve is not flattening.
I donāt disagree.
Did you watch Cuomoās press conference right now?
I donāt watch him anymore. Heās as much of a putz as Trump.
