Fact is that China allowed this to spiral out of control for only reasons they know. They lied about the numbers and tried to initially ensure us it was under control when in fact the true numbers were exponentially more than what they led on to. There are 6 known strains and this one just happens to be one never seen before.
While this is spreading faster than a California wildfire; the death rate is only around 1% and the average age is 80 years old. Of all the confirmed cases here in Florida, only 2 are under the age of 60. One person is 29 and that person got it while in Italy.
China is completely responsible for not containing this as well as letting foreign leaders to believe it wasn't as bad as it was. Yet, the Fake News is striking fear in to Americans and telling us it is Trump's fault which is completely asinine. Had China been more forthright in the severity of the virus from day 1; I would be willing to bet it would not be spreading around the world and in to the US in the manner that it has and lives could have been saved.
No-one is claiming that the virus is Trump's fault. They are criticizing his
HANDLING - his response to the virus. That is totally on him. You don't have a major medical issue happen to the entire country, and then keep the experts you need to provide recommendations to you and what the full magnitude of the issue is outside of a meeting you called because you mark the meeting as CLASSIFIED.
Yes, Trump did that.
Trump went on record saying that " this is nothing/it will blow over/it will be gone by April.
Yes, Trump did that.
Trump bans travel to/from Europe except the UK? In Italy's case, fair enough, but no other country in Europe has any cases as extreme as Italy. In fact, the next worse for COVID
IS THE UK.
Yes. Trump did that.
And as if COVID isn't going to come in from any other country? You know... Japan, S. Korea, or China, since it all started there?
Yes.. Trump did that.
So yes, Trump deserves all the flack he's getting
on his handling and responses to COVID-19. That's all on him, and isn't asinine; that's his own muck-up, and he bloody well owns that.
