Senator Tom Cotton, arguably the "Paul Revere" of protecting the country from the spread of 2019-nCoV, has explained that top health officials (aka government bureaucrats) were initially blind guides (my words) at the start of COVID-19 problems, PDJT barring travelers from China to US based mainly on his uncommon common sense.
"On January 31, the president announced a ban on entry to foreign travelers who had been in China in the previous two weeks, while allowing Americans and permanent residents to continue to travel back and forth between the two countries. The measure was not as stringent as Cotton’s call for a ban on all commercial flights, but Cotton points out that the president “did not have many advisers encouraging him to shut down travel.” Advisers who were supportive tended to be national-security aides, he adds, while “most of his economic and public-health advisers were ambivalent at best about the travel ban [emphasis added].”" — John McCormack, The Senator Who Saw the Coronavirus Coming, National Review, March 31, 2020.
Again, PDJT took “aggressive action” against Coronavirus just 10 days after first US case confirmed (Jan, 21, 2020) by barring foreign travelers from China.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
You win a Pulitzer for covering the bleeding obvious?? I would like to know, did the perp shoot them with like a guhguhguhguuuuu-assault rifle?????
It’s the old “What did he know and when did he know it” ploy
That dog don’t hunt. We have this thing called a the internet with pictures and video, you know. proof!
A review of articles in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from the Associated Press (AP) and Washington Post (WP) discloses:
STL AP 01/25/2020 - “CDC believes that the immediate risk to the American public continues to be low at this time. But the situation continues to evolve rapidly,” said the agency’s Dr. Nancy Messonnier.
STL WP 01/29/2020 – The new virus is not nearly as infectious as the measles virus, which can live as long as two hours in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, and is not comparable to the threat posed by seasonal flu, which has killed at least 8,200 this season.
STL AP 01/31/2020 – scientists expect to see limited transmission of the virus between people with close contact, like within families
STL WP 02/01/2020 – CDC director Robert Redfield said the risk to the American public currently is low . Dr. Fauci said we still have a low risk to the American public.
STL AP 02/03/2020 – The Headline was “Viral Outbreak Explodes as the ninth case was reported in US.
And this from the Los Angeles Times March 2, 2020
Even as the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus rose to six and the spread continues in California, senior public health officials continued to stress that the coronavirus does not represent a serious threat to most people.
“The risk is low,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, added that there are no advisories for travel within the U.S.
Trump administration officials reported Monday evening that the number of domestic cases of the new coronavirus now tallies 43, not including the 48 people who were repatriated after contracting the disease abroad.
Twenty-nine of those cases are in Washington and California, they said.
On the other hand, the Reno VA has had 3 employee fatalities since this started. ‘Of’ covid19 or ‘from’ covid19? Hard to say.
Why should I read a pile of s**t written by a bunch of elitist turds?
This from 6 economists who month after month after month after month after month issue “surprising” economic news and then a couple of weeks later “revise” that economic news after being even more surprised.
These jackasses are trying to convince people that President Trump had to know what the CDC didn’t know.
LOL!!!
From The Hill on January 29: “Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said Sunday the American public shouldn’t worry about the coronavirus outbreak in China.
“It’s a very, very low risk to the United States,” Fauci said during an interview with radio show host John Catsimatidis.”
Unfortunately It’s killing America and us! When do we storm their offices and burn it down..when? They are killing us without firing one single damn shot!! We are easy pickings for them!
Which of these writers supported that?
It reminds me of Katrina when the levee broke. Someone found a report from 20 years before warming the levee could fail during a hurricane.
If the prediction never comes true it's forgotten. If it comes true someone will claim they warned everyone.
He’s a businessman and President, not a fortune teller.
Maggie Hackerman and her hack pack.
They are the New York Times “hit squad and smear artists” all together. Now you know the names of America’s top writer enemies at the NY Slimes.
I mean - how does a child molester monster like Lipton escape scrutiny unless a pedophile creep like 0bama is covering for them?
Did Pelousi delay Impeachment hearings while keeping an eye on Wuhan developments?
Pulitzer prize is about as meaningful as a Nobel Peace prize. They are given out to all leftists whose names needs building up. You can buy one for two dog turds and twenty five cents.
SIX people wrote this?? And they get PAID for this?? LOL!!
