    What has he done?

    Trump scrapped the pandemic response team that President Barack Obama created after the 2014 Ebola outbreak, part of an overall effort to undo everything that his predecessor had accomplished. Trump ignored warnings from his own intelligence community that China was covering up the severity of the coronavirus epidemic in the city and province where it originated. Trump even ignored a step-by-step pandemic “playbook” the Obama administration had written.

    Instead, Trump discounted the threat the virus posed from Jan. 22, when he told CNBC that “we have it totally under control,” straight through until March 15, when he called it “a very contagious virus” but again claimed it was one “that we have tremendous control over.”

    Trump had based his re-election campaign on the strength of the economy, and feared that worries about a pandemic would hurt the stock market. “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA,” he wrote in a Feb. 24 tweet. “Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

    Now that is a concern of your's :) What have we been telling you and the other for two months now? And if truth be known Chiner knew about this in Sep and October.. Unless you are going to fall back on their limits of being dishonest :wierdface:

    Trump did the best he could have considering the spread already established by December-March in other countries..

    Ok carry on with your BAD TRUMP post :)

    I agree- he should've closed the borders to all but returning citizens (and quarantined even them for 2 weeks minimum in isolation in hospital) in early January, and kept it that way until at least 2 weeks after the last human anywhere was documented to have the virus.

    That would've been the smart move.

    I'm sure Biden would've done that. I guess I'm voting Dem in Nov!

    We'll never know what Biden would have done...although I have no doubt he would have taken this seriously.

    We know Trump didn't
