NYT: Trump Was Slow to Absorb The Scale of Virus' Risk

[JAGO]

WASHINGTON — “Any way you cut it, this is going to be bad,” a senior medical adviser at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. Carter Mecher, wrote on the night of Jan. 28, in an email to a group of public health experts scattered around the government and universities. “The projected size of the outbreak already seems hard to believe.”

A week after the first coronavirus case had been identified in the United States, and six long weeks before President Trump finally took aggressive action to confront the danger the nation was facing — a pandemic that is now forecast to take tens of thousands of American lives — Dr. Mecher was urging the upper ranks of the nation’s public health bureaucracy to wake up and prepare for the possibility of far more drastic action.

“You guys made fun of me screaming to close the schools,” he wrote to the group, which called itself “Red Dawn,” an inside joke based on the 1984 movie about a band of Americans trying to save the country after a foreign invasion. “Now I’m screaming, close the colleges and universities.”

His was hardly a lone voice. Throughout January, as Mr. Trump repeatedly played down the seriousness of the virus and focused on other issues, an array of figures inside his government — from top White House advisers to experts deep in the cabinet departments and intelligence agencies — identified the threat, sounded alarms and made clear the need for aggressive action

Well, since the NY Times said it, it must be so.  They aren't biased at all.

All I remember is Trump saying let’s close borders and airports at the beginning and the Democrats saying no don’t do it.

Yup, another libturd, lying article posted by a very butt-hurt and delusional TDS suffering commie.

Does this clown get sick of failure in life?

People are fleeing from liberal areas and moving into red states.

Democrat run cites and states are collapsing under the weight of their own stupidity and bad decisions.  Crime up the ass, riots, their citizens are being taxed and regulated into the poor house, individual liberty is under constant attack.

Anyone that has even half a brain or an ounce of honesty should be able to see this an accept the truth.  Your ideas are bad.  They don't work.

NY was telling people to go out, go to museums, film festivals, etc.... up until like the first week in March. Los Angeles, etc.... were even slower to react. I'm sure they had close to the same intel or were developing their own.

No one knew what this was going to be.

February 24th

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi toured San Francisco's Chinatown Monday to send a message. She said there's no reason tourists or locals should be staying away from the area because of coronavirus concerns.

"That’s what we’re trying to do today is to say everything is fine here," Pelosi said. "Come because precautions have been taken. The city is on top of the situation."

Remember when he closed flights from China back in January and was called racist? Remember when they told us cloth masks don’t work?

He stated 100% truth. The Democrats were more concerned with not appearing to be racist.... than the safety of US citizens.

Thankfully, Trump shut down the flights from China.

With the USA not accepting Chinese flights, the Chinese tourists then decided to visit Europe, and that’s when the Chinese infected Europe.

Another worthless meme, another worthless CNN article. He wanted borders closed, libs did not.
Not sure if any dumb-ass knows, viruses are not up to a president to defeat. Sort of like how Obozo and H1N1 got a pass.
He can golf all he wants, Obozo holds the record there, along with blowjob Clinton. Its what they do, the country does not shutdown if a kuntt is on the course,its a pretty weak-ass meme, or excuse.
Libs are trying to kill America, it so very obvious, yet they blame Trump for shit that they caused. If one cant see that, I feel bad for your weak minds.

They let their cities burn, they deliver bricks, they help to attack innocent folks, yet they keep blaming Trump. Very insane and brainless kuntz.

[Body-Buildah]

If Pubtards were burning down the country, attacking the innocent, trying to go commie, I would be a democrat.
But they are not.
There are 2 types of people, proud americans who love America (Repubs) and violent commie traitors (libturds).

I hate golf but even I know a game doesn't take long to play. Your posts have proven your drunkenness. Give the account to your dad and make your own.

As for the OP, just another foreign troll, nevermind him.

Yeah Trump was slow to respond, when he was banning travel from China and Europe and being called racist by these same TDS morons.
