    Yes it is. We have Constitutional right to travel. The Fed can’t tell a resident of North Dakota they can’t go to South Dakota. A nation can however restrict entry into their borders

    And scores more, maybe even an order of magnitude, will die from covid-19. Did you have a point?

    What you are doing is speculating. We don’t have to in regards to the Obama crisis

    I think there's enough data that would make my "speculation" conservative.

    I still am not sure why you bother to make any comments about Trump's response. After all, you took the position that it is impossible to evaluate Trump's response until three years have elapsed.

    No I said it’s impossible for you to since you were silent about Obama. At this point he is light years ahead of Obama

    Funny how wrong you guys continue to be, did you listen to the press conference today? A little history lesson for you, go look how many had died before that national emergency was declared and compare it to Covid-19.

    If the epidemiologists are right cofefe-19 will pass that by may 1st.
    Trump can't stop it's spread, only people religiously washing their hands and staying home from work can.
    What Trump should do, I won't say can because I have my doubts, is insure that his people, the scientists and the doctors have what they need and he needs to let the people know that that is being done. My doubts stem from he'd have to admit the seriousness and not use the words "I" and "perfect" .
    In the three Obama videos how many times did he use those words?

    Even if that’s right - if Europe was wrong to permit unrestricted travel to continue, Trump should have encouraged people not to travel within the USA.

    But he doesn’t really believe it. He is only criticising Europe as a way to deflect attention from his own weak performance.

    I watched a Press Conference from Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. Which Press Conference are you referencing?

    As for the history lesson, a National Health Emergency was Declared in April of 2009.

    That was your point? To argue that you know what I said during the Ebola outbreak?

    You joined in 2017... It's a bit hard to know what you said back then or are you confused? Maybe juggling different personae...

    The CDC declared a national health emergency three weeks after the first case anywhere in the world was identified that April. In September Obama declared a state national emergency when the vaccine came out to expedite it's distribution.
    A covid 19 vaccine is already being tested and Trump has not declared a national emergency.
    So you're right Trump is really lagging behind and needs to catch up.

    He's criticizing Europe because Europe deserves to be criticized:

    Since lawyers run this nation, it is possible that they will follow Houston's lead so that they can't get sued after the fact should someone -- or many people -- become ill because they were 'irresponsible' with the public's health. But that's just a guess.
