Let’s take a look at the COVID 2020 timeline

Excellent analysis Let’s take a look at the COVID 2020 timeline.

January 14: WHO tweets - no clear evidence of human to human transmission 

January 21: First US case confirmed 

January 29: US coronavirus task force created

January 31: Trump blocks travel from China and is called racist by the media

February 5: Democrats fake impeachment trial wraps up so the biggest threat and distraction from dealing with CV19 is over, which could have been over in Dec, if Pelosi wasn’t playing games.

February 7: interview with Woodward where as always he speaks off the cuff and shares concern over the deadliness of the virus but believes “China has it under control” and all cases in the USA have been people returned from China and there has been no community spread. Just like Ebola was contained a few years back in Dallas.

From January 21 through February 23, public health agencies detected only 14 U.S. cases of CV19 which were all related to travel from China. The first nontravel–related U.S. case was confirmed on...

February 26: First community spread case documented

February 29: FDA eases guidelines on testing

March 2: US Surgeon General Adams and NIH Director Fauci state don’t wear masks as it may increase risk of catching COVID

March 4: House passes $8.3bn emergency

March 8: Fauci again states no to masks

March 10: Trump meets with Health Insurance CEOs to get agreement on covering costs for testing and treatment

March 11: Trump bans travel from Europe, and promises free treatment from CMS and private insurance companies.

March 13: National emergency declaration as well as round table with private industry retail and healthcare CEOs to get support in battle of CV19.

March 16: Imperial College London study shocks world starting 2.2 Million Americans may die.

March 17: Trump asks workforce to stay home, says ‘he's always known it was a pandemic.’ (Declaration by all that it will take two weeks will flatten the curve.)

March 18: Trump mobilizes USNS Comfort to NY in days vs the normal weeks it takes. (And the USNS Mercy to CA.)

March 21: Trump says we should give HCQ a try. (A woman murders her husband with fish tank cleaner ingesting a tiny amount herself to cover, and media blame Trump saying he drank it to keep from getting CV19, opening the flood gates for politicizing treatments.)

March 24: Trump says he wants country to open by April 12 hoping it will run its course in 6 weeks. Always looking for hope, which he is attacked for.

March 27: Trump signs $2.2 trillion emergency spending bill after many delays from Democrats. Trump uses Defense Production act and gets GM to agree to build 30,000 ventilators.

March 30: FDA fast tracks testing approvals April 3: Cloth masks recommended

April 7: Gov Newsom praises Trump and his response "every single direct request that he was capable of meeting, he has met... I have to be complimentary, otherwise I would be simply lying to you."

April 13: Gove Cuomo praises Trump and his response. "He has delivered for New York. He has”

April 16: Trump, CDC issue guidelines to states for reopening businesses, local economies

Late April: far left and far right media sources and politicians divide Americans and make COVID political.

June 30: Trump acquires entirety of world supply of Remdesivir What more could he have done? Trump would not be allowed by the media or Americans to order states to do anything. From the beginning he was there to support the states and their Governors. If you think he should have had Federal orders to do anything more, ask yourself how he would enforce any additional orders. Federal agents or military deployed to every city to lock people in like in Italy or Israel? Remove sick people and put them in hotels like in China? Then he would be a fascist and there would be proof. He let the states lead and some did great and some not so great, but as you see in Texas, Florida, California and New York, the most populous states, he has been praised for his support during the height of the pandemic. What more was expected? (Outside of normal complaints of his communication style being different.) Creating fear so more than just panic buying we saw would occur? End of days reactions from Americans? He played down the fear to try and keep Americans calm. What else did you want as the Monday morning QB?
