Trump said that he shutdown the traveling from Europe to the US sooner than required!

(Paraphrasing some words)


Horse hockey! The virus was already in the States before the ban travel was in place into the US!

A brilliant by all means!

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to reflect comment from the Pentagon.

As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.

Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.

The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia -- forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.

5. RW sites say "I knew I had something in November!" which is nonsense. I'm thinking

I have in mind the 5 week period from Feb 2 through March 11. The time between the Chhyna travel ban and the Europe travel ban (but not UK). In between, he appointed Pence and banned Iran travel. Oh and he had many rallies and much golf in the lost 5 weeks.

Frankly there wasn't much action two weeks before (following first US case) and a week or two after.

It is fashionable for RW posters to say they got something in November or December. But they can't simultaneously hold the position that they knew what was going on but their genius tRump was hoodwinked by the Chinese in the same period.

6. I think it was in the US in early to mid January

WaPo is reporting that during Jan& Feb trump got more than 12 daily briefings warning of this. He was out in front of the cameras telling us that 15 cases of it, and the number is going down. Don't worry about it. Come to my rallies! All under control, a hoax.

He never briefed the states, then he withheld medical support.
