The only thing he did early is a travel ban. Yeah, he's been a racist nationalist all along so I can totally see him doing that. The fact that he only shut down travel to and from China was the problem.
But there was a LOT more he could have done to get us ready.
Remember how he's blaming Obama for not maintaining the emergency stock of medical supplies? What was he doing over the past 3 years? Why didn't he do that?
Remember the pandemic response team? Trump ditched them. They might have had a better idea on how to deal with this before it became a pandemic.
Remember how he told everyone to go to work, even if they're feeling sick? How many infections would have been prevented if he had not said that?
Remember how he said it would disappear with warm weather? When he said it was a hoax by the democrats/media? Remember when he said there were just 15 cases and soon there would be none?
Remember how he bitched and moaned about who was to blame for the virus instead of finding a solution to it?
Remember how he's not actually shut down very much, instead relying on the individual states to shut everything down? Having individual states write their own shut down rules is like having a peeing section for your pool.
Remember how he's been more worried about the stock market and the economy than people's lives?
Remember? REMEMBER! Remember! REMEMBER!
The American electorate has always had a painfully short memory. I'm afraid that's going to happen this time, too. The disease will be resolved and a few months later, we're going to forget who botched our response to it. I guess that's what happens to people who constantly have their ears plugged into right wing spin doctors.
Im not American... All I know is the world has put politics aside and are pointing the finger at China. Apart from America who blame their own
15th in average C19 cases and a death per capital ratio that is low compared to European nations. Y'all should be glad or at least stop bitching with each other
You have mainstream saying one thing and u have cable saying the complete opposite, it's just so out of control over there...
What would of happened if the dems were in power. They said Trump was overreacting. Biden (a rapist) called Trump a xenophobe cos of his decision
So they would of let things go for even longer and it would of been worse, like New York did (which everyone conveniently ignores)
