It's been a crazy morning going over legal documents to determine rights since businesses closing by order of governors. I came across this Y2K language & was reminded that there were so many IT professionals working behind the scenes that some people said Y2K was a hoax (thread) 
since they didn't know IT professionals who worked on Y2K for several years prior by editing & scrubbing code to make sure we noticed no changes. Software applications with 2-digit years were replaced or altered if fixable. Some people are now saying coronavirus is a hoax despite
the rising positive cases & rising death toll. We could have been prepared but Trump fired everyone on the pandemic response team in 2018 & kept downplaying it & said it was a Democratic hoax. Taiwan prepared & has only 59 cases with 1 death. nbcnews.com/health/health-… #TrumpPlague
Sen. Schumer urged federal officials to declare coronavirus a public health emergency in the US in order for the CDC to access $85 million that is allocated to fight infectious disease on 1/26. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-sc… #TrumpPlague
January 22 At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump says he isn’t worried coronavirus could turn into a global pandemic. He told CNBC. “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” cnbc.com/video/2020/01/…
Trump was praising President Xi on January 24 but not taking any steps to prepare Americans for what was coming.
That continued through February 7 with more praise to President Xi but Trump took no steps to protect Americans. He said warm weather would possibly make the virus "weaker" & "then gone"
He continued with his nonsense about warm weather later in February. Trump said regarding coronavirus at his NH rally on 2/10 “looks like, by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” express.co.uk/news/world/124…
Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson have coronavirus which they contracted in Australia where it's warm now. nytimes.com/2020/03/12/wor…
Trump was still downplaying corona virus on February 24 He was focused on the stock market instead of the global pandemic.
Trump during his trip to India late February said coronavirus is “a problem that’s going to go away.”

Then we had the first death from coronavirus in the United States confirmed in Washington state on 2/29 nbcnews.com/news/us-news/1…
We're up to 3,774 cases & 69 deaths. Trump keeps touting stock market gains but ignoring losses. Every federal response happening now should have happened in January. Now we need a Chinese billionaire to send masks & coronavirus test kits. Where exactly is the shithole country?
Trump told governors this morning they are on their own:
“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves.” nytimes.com/2020/03/16/wor… This from the guy who said "I alone can fix it" & now who takes no responsibility for his botched testing rollout.
