No one expected a country to cover up a epidemic and lie about it. The Chinese government gave Covid-19 a one to two month head start on the planet by covering it up. The doctors leading the health organizations all over the planet were caught off guard by this, not just the CDC and NIH.

He didn't close down travel from China in Jan. Everybody can read it and see the massive holes in it.

Trump says he trusts China’s Xi on coronavirus and the US has it ‘totally under control’

Doesn’t matter to them and their stubbornness. If any COVID-19 deaths happened, it happens because Trump is anti science. Never mind the 30-40K deaths from antibiotic resistant bacterial diseases, never mind the pneumonia deaths attributed to flu. That’s irrational hatred.

That was on Jan. 22, before the novel corona virus really took off. By the middle of February it was becoming clear China was covering up how bad it was. Like I said, no one every expected a country to cover up a epidemic like this.

>> Congress was informed by the president on February 4

Do you recall if coronavirus was directly mentioned? I don’t recall.

Really? If we didn’t expect that of China, we haven’t been paying attention. (And of course we should have had our own sources tracking it there as well.)

China, the WHO and the CDC/NIH are the real culprits IMO, with Trump getting a thin slice from the blame pie too.

Yep, we’re never going to shut the country down just because somebody sneezes. We didn’t have the data because of China. They did the entire world a disservice. Now they’re trying to profit from it.

I’m no longer going to buy anything made in China. We should all do the same - in an effort to take down the CCP that is AT WAR with us.

My question is, if Trump failed to see the significance of the virus, why didn’t one leader from any of the other foreign countries see the warning and warn the world of the danger?

Because China has been buying everything they can,
including politicians and corporate leadership

Exactly. When Trump gave that warning in the SOTU, the world should have took notice.

These are the words in President Trump’s SOTU:

“Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”
