Like I said, there were videos out for anyone to see that clearly showed how bad things were getting. Then one day they just disappeared. No new posts. China shut shit down.
This was not of Trump's creation and I applaud that he shutdown flights from China early on. That said, he did not go far enough, fast enough and still has not.
Maybe nothing would have stopped us from getting where we are today but they almost didnt even really try. People are still near each other nonstop at stores and parks, flights still in the air, churches hokdibg services, inefficient testing requiring mass amounts of people packed into hospitals to try to get a test, getting exposed even though they just had a common cold now becoming a carrier. We are living the freedom cry of Give me liberty or Give me death. People were not willing to look beyond themselves and the hogernment was afraid go do what was clearly necessary.
