President Trump is the "right" leader for this time. And that is exactly why the left is trying to convince us otherwise.
The state of New York is in horrible condition fighting the China virus – but do you blame Gov. Cuomo for the situation? If not, then why blame Trump for the situation in the United States? The president did not bring the China virus to America.
Trump acted quickly with the information that was provided to the U.S. by China and the World Health Organization. China and WHO lied by omission. They withheld information until late January.
President Trump blocked travelers from China and Europe quickly, action over which Democrats fought him. Democrats called Trump a racist for blocking those travelers, but it proved to be the right thing to do despite Democratic objections.
The fact is that the first six hardest hit states were all states run by Democrats. New York, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, California and Michigan. We need to understand how those Democrats put their states at more risk than other states, so that the virus is now spreading from those six Democrat-led states to the rest of the nation. Florida is now a mess because of the travelers from New York and New Jersey. The same is true about Texas with travelers from California.
The probability that there is some common thread among those six states is more than 99%. Since only 40% of states are run by Democrats, and all six of the early infected states are run by Democrats, that's .4 x .4 x .4 x .4 x .4 x .4 = considerably less than 1% that it is just a coincidence.

Hmm....
Are they all big cities with a great deal of international travel?
Urban Utopias are not sustainable.
Agenda 21 is not sustainable either.
Greenfield agrees:
“We need fewer dense cities and more factories”
The more dense the population the more likely democraps run the show. That density is another reason the Wuhan virus is so much worse in NY, Seattle etc than here in Phoenix.
Thanks for the article!
Greenfield is one of the best writers, if not the best on FPM.
DemonRat Conspiracy? Yes.
“President Trump blocked travelers from China and Europe quickly”
Not Europe.
Europe travel was blocked too late.
While technically true, if you adjust for population Louisiana and Michigan have the second- and fourth-highest number of Coronavirus fatalities by state.
God’s wrath on the states where the people are who support abortion and euthanasia.
Urban squalor.
That thought did occur to me.
Los Angeles Times, January 24, 2020
Health experts in the United States have said there’s no evidence to suggest the new coronavirus is any more virulent than the flu.
But because this strain of coronavirus is new, health officials are on high alert, and researchers will have to start from square one in creating a vaccine, which will probably take years to develop.
Coronaviruses include a large variety of viruses — the common cold as well as those that caused Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). SARS and MERS sickened thousands of people around the world and caused hundreds of deaths.
It is too soon to tell how the new strain compares to coronaviruses that fueled the previous epidemics, experts said.
“I think that there are important unanswered questions about this outbreak,” said Anne W. Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and director of the UCLA Center for Global and Immigrant Health. “We don’t know how easily people transmit the virus or how ill it can make otherwise healthy people. We just don’t know the true risks posed by this new virus, and these are the questions that will need to be answered.”

Bump
Bingo.
Blocking Europeans would have blocked some initial cases, but not the pandemic. It would have delayed the rise in cases a little bit.
The only way to block it was to stop all airline traffic in January, that was never going to happen.
“ We just don’t know the true risks posed by this new virus...”
You are so right. We do not know the risk. We accepted a risk of 30,000 flu deaths last year and we accepted 12,000 from H1N1 in 2009. How many deaths are we willing to accept from another depression and people can’t eat because we’ve shut down the greatest economy on the face of the planet? Cause that’s what is about to happen!
1. High population density.
2. Heavy use of Mass Transit
3. International destination airports
Coincidence is not causation.
Well, that is exactly how I would have planned it. Hmmm
