Like this video that aired on CBS ON 1-27-2020:



Besides, on 1-31-2020, the WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak an "Emergency of International Concern." http://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/health-emergencies/international-health-regulations/news/news/2020/2/2019-ncov-outbreak-is-an-emergency-of-international-concern

That is the same announcement they did with the ebola outbreak. And that's all it took for Obama to take decisive action, here and in Africa, to snuff out the outbreak before it became a pandemic.

But Trump downplayed the announcement. He and his entire administration are criminally negligent idiots.

In that 1-31-2020 Announcement, the WHO stated:

Temporary recommendations for all countries

In addition to temporary recommendations to China to continue its robust response, the WHO Director-General issued temporary recommendations under the IHR (2005). All countries should be ready to contain any introduction of the virus and its spread through active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing, and prevention. They should also be ready to share full data with WHO. 


We did not do that. Not even close.
