Re: COVID-19 - Part 2
Is it me or does it seen like the adults in the room are the only ones who know the enemy is China and not President Trump. #Trum****tillyourPresident
e.cat, please explain to the rest of us why, specifically relating to the virus, China is the "enemy" and not Trump? I can't WAIT to hear your explanation. And, as part of your explanation, I'll ask AGAIN (for at least the 5th or 6th time between you and Charles), despite whatever you feel are China's failings here (regardless of what those might be) how do any of them excuse the lack of action on the part of Trump and his administration in addressing the impending crisis when they were first informed about the how bad it might get in early January? Please, please, please, provide your answer to that question.
More specifically, if Trump's handling of this whole crisis isn't as bad as us "lefties" say it is, please also explain why, despite having their first confirmed case the same day as ours, South Korea (pop. 51,600,000) currently only has 10,600 confirmed cases and, even more amazingly, only 229 dead? Compared to our 640,000 confirmed cases and, 31,000 dead... Please e.cat, I'm genuinely interested in hearing your explanation/answers to these questions. Hey Chuck, you're welcome to weigh in on these questions as well.

Of course, I've already asked you both of them at least 3 or 4 times already and you have yet to respond so, I'm certainly not holding my breath.
One last thing. Don't start with me about the fact that U.S. Intelligence is now actively reviewing the possibility the virus may have, in fact, come from the bio-warfare lab in Wuhan. First, considering how badly your president has badmouthed his own intelligence apparatus for the last three years -- hell, Chuck was ripping U.S. Intelligence services in one of his posts last week by contending they were filled with a bunch of Democrats who had contributed to Democratic candidates and been trying to make Trump look bad since he was elected -- it will be hilarious when Trump Tweets out tomorrow the fact that they (our intelligence services) are actively looking into it and (he'll find a way to tout how great our intelligence services are all of a sudden), that somehow -- if true -- makes him look better for some reason. Second, even if it did originate from that lab, it was an accidental release, not some intentional bio-weapons attack on their own people. Finally -- I know, I know, I'm sorta repeating myself here but... -- it doesn't matter how the virus was released, the fact China wasn't as forthcoming about what type of virus it might be, the fact China wasn't as forthcoming as they could've been in regards to how easily transmittable between humans it might be, or any other possible issue with the Chinese government. All that matters is; what did Trump know? When did he know it? And, how long before he legitimately acted on it? And no, attempting to shut off travel from China doesn't count, especially now that we know approximately 40,000 people from China entered the U.S. after that occurred.
