Well, Trump's had his official "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S., Now Watch This Drive" moment

During a press conference addressing the growing coronavirus outbreak this Monday, President Trump tried to stress to a room full of reporters that the outbreak was so unexpected that no one knew about it a month ago.

“We have an invisible enemy. We have a problem a month ago nobody ever thought about,” Trump said. “It’s just so contagious — sort of record-setting type contagion.”

But as POLITICO’s Dan Diamond points out, it’s now almost two months to the day that Trump was warned about the impending pandemic.

“In presser, Trump says ‘we have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about,'” Diamond wrote. “Trump was first briefed about coronavirus threat almost exactly two months ago today.”

Let's see, we've had HIV, SARS, ebola, swine flu. Obama knew contagious disease could strike again. The problem isn't that no one every thought about it. The problem is that Trump doesn't think.

Need I say more?

5. That visit to CDC he said something like, "nobody could have thought this could happen".

There's mountain of documents and video showing people have predicted it. Also a whole bunch of books and movies. Of course we hope we know it's not as bad as in the fiction, but many of those are pretty well researched on how a virus can spread.
