    While Trump was stopping flights from China, Biden was calling Trump a racist and xenophobe. If it was up to Biden, the flights would have continued uninterrupted.

    Trump was the first person to take the virus seriously.

    Dude China had over a million people in there New Years party in Beijing alone, stop with the BS. Our first case popped up Jan 23rd, it was tracked down and he shut the border down a week after it was first diagnosed. You and the Dems cried racism, overreaction hell even at the dem debate your old white candidates were saying racism and xenophobia. You don't get to change the facts because your a hyper partisan and know in the end that claim alone buries the idea of our guys would've done better.

    You seem to be opining that Trump is now overcompensating for his prolonged, unconscionable, irrational refusal to honestly confront the imminent pandemic, scoffing at the dire warnings of epidemiologists and spouting disinformation that dismissed the threat, (As is amply verified by multiple recorded instances.)

    Would you prefer he had persisted in his irrational denial, or now take only feeble measures to mitigate the consequences of his having failed to lead?

    Trump continues to blow gas that impedes the vital mission of the deep state bureaucrats who know what they are doing far better than Trump, despite his embarrassing claim to mastery of the topic.

    From the conservative Washington Examiner:

    Only in the minds of the progressive left who literally hate Trump. Curiously those same people place no or minimal blame on the Chinese who actually did conceal the severity of the Corona virus infection and proliferation in their country, allowed travel of Chinese citizens contaminated with the virus to foreign countries, and continue to not share the true origins and severity of the virus in their very own country. The blood of tens of thousands of victums both within and without China are on their hands.

    You are actually thanking China for discovering it and alerting the world. ?? That's tragically hilarious.

    All you have to look at is their posting history. They were the ones pushing and still pushing the Russian collusion hoax, they were the ones pushing impeachment at all costs, and they are now the one's pushing firing of Pandemic team even though the paper that broke it also wrote the article that it was not the case. It's DNC hacks doing everything they can, regardless of truth, to get Trump out of office.

    You must be if you need to run away from the stark, documented, irrefutable reality.

    After February 2, Trump banned only foreign nationals who had traveled to China during the prior 14 days from entering the US.

    Americans were allowed to stream back into the U.S. from China.

    Absolutely.

    Three weeks ago Trump repeatedly stated that the situation was perfectly under control and that the virus would probably disappear on its own.

    We must have faith in our President, he is the voice of reason.

    Trump never claimed that it was approved for corona virus.

    Chloroquine in conjunction with another drug has been show to be effective as a preventive and treatment for corona virus. It is inexpensive, very few side effects, and is being prescribed to people with corona virus by physicians today. The other drug whose name I can't remember is being used in China.

    See the Dr. Grace video here:

    There are at least four videos on Youtube from four different occasions where Trump claims that the virus is under control.

    These clips are three weeks old.

    But I still admire the extraordinary ability of Trumpsters to alter reality with alternative facts.

    The link is a discussion of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin based on a paper by in the International Journal of Antimicrobal Agents written by epidemiologists. It shows that the combination cures the virus is as few as 2 days.

    Don’t be so naive. Republican principles stop at their own pocketbooks.

    Except of course he didn’t require testing or quarantine of Americans or non Chinese coming into the US. In other words he did prove his xenophobia but didn’t effectively stop the virus.

    He was trying calm the public.

    Pay attention to what he does, not as much to what he says. He’s given the experts free reign. He’s delegated and allowed them to install best practices.

    What else should he do? Martial law? He can’t build ventilators. Contrary to leftist beliefs, he’s not an authoritarian dictator.

    Trump had zero reason to PURPOSEFULLY mislead the public. He has family, too, and he knows this affects his fortune and political career.

    Yes, he was putting a brave face on things maybe too brave. He modified his tone as facts came in.

    I am actually more worried about the population coming to depend on government when the best we can do is that which we can and must do ourselves. The President is not our mom. If we do get sick, we will recover, with some exceptions. If we don't recover, it won't be anyone's fault.

    I have a liberal friend calling for quarantining the spring breakers in Florida, not letting them out of the state for 15 days.

    If he were to corral and hold all the students there in Florida, someone on msnbc would start with the old "First they came for the Jews ..." slippery slope.

    Yes, it’s instructive to note that the large states with progressive liberal governance (CA&NY) are the states which have expanded government controls the most. As Rahm Emanuel famously said ‘never waste a crisis (as an opportunity to grow government).

    The Chinese hid the release of the Wuhan virus for three weeks.

    The World Health Organization tells the world,

    "let’s not forget that it was WHO that spread Chinese propaganda in January when it posted a notice on social media that read, “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China.”

    Mid Feb, Trump shuts down most flights from China into the US and the lefties call him a racist.

    Trump appoints Pence to lead his Wuhan virus team, the left complains Trump is skirting his duties and ignore, in fact, many major media outlets did not even carry Pence's briefings.

    Trump starts leading the daily updates, the lefties complain Trump is correcting and scolding reporters who are bent on a mission to make him look bad with gotcha questions.

    Were there mistakes made here? Yep! Is the media making it far worse than it actually is? Yep

    There are no winners here and the constant complaining about President Trump is only making themselves look smaller.
