Mistakes? GTFO. Look, stuff happens. If ever single event were regarded as an existential threat, we’d all be cowering under our beds, from now until we die.
A new virus, one that the Chinese have responsibility for, either through odd dietary habits, or an accident in their lab. But, who could have known how infectious this thing would be? You have to be pragmatic, and evaluate things as information becomes available. I think the Trump administration has done a good job, not flawless, but then, who is flawless?
They do not want to make their future bosses angry at them
CNN, MSNBC and toilet paper, what do they all have in common?
In early February people posted videos of the Chinese spraying disinfectant in the streets. At the time, many observers said it was just for show and propaganda to convince the Chinese people that the government was doing something. However, a more credible explanation is that the Chinese government knew at that time that the virus is spread by surviving on surfaces. If so, it does not appear that they shared this information with other governments around the world.
Short answer - wet markets supplied by wildlife farms, created initially to feed China after the collapse of Chinese agriculture under communism, now kept going to support the "virility" market driven by the Chinese "elite."
During today’s press conference, the President was asked about Sen. Tom Cotton’s remarks that “China would pay”, or something like that.
The President did not disavow the remarks. Or rule out punishing China.
And he also kept stating the “We know where this came from”.
Personally, I say put China back into Agrarian mode and
consider them simply a consumer nation. No more manufacturing or exposure to technology for these dinks.
My liberal twin brother said, “Trump’s response was weak.” I replied, “Really? How so?” He had no answer, so I said, “Go check with Rachel Madcow. She probably can’t explain the DNC talking point either.”
The Chinese notified the W.H.O. about the coronavirus on Dec. 31.
Between January 6 – 8, the CDC sprung into action, launching management system.
And Trump got called racist for wanting to limit travel at that time.
