There is a very heavy BOT presence on twitter today.
So let's lay out, factually, how we got here.

12/31/19 China warns of Virus.

1/6/20 CDC warns to take precautions if you go to china.

1/21/29 first case in WA. (21 days, no reaction or prep by Trump administration.)

1/22 Trump in Davos says "“going to be handled very well.” He also said that he thinks China is in “very good shape.”

1/27 Trump says, "We are in very close communication with China concerning the virus. Very few cases reported in USA, but strongly on watch."
(28 days, no prep)

1/30/20 “We're working very strongly with China on the coronavirus -- that's a new thing that a lot of people are talking about. Hopefully it won't be as bad as some people think it could be”

1/30/20 Trump tweets. "Only 5 people in U.S., all in recovery."(36 suspected cases)

1/31/20 The Trump administration suspends entry into the United States by foreign nationals who traveled to China within the last 14 days (excluding Hong Kong and Macau). This does not apply to lawful U.S. residents

(31 days, Didn't BAN TRAVEL he let US citizens bring it home)

2/2/20 Trump on Hannity. "Well, we pretty much shut it down coming in from China."

2/4/20 All flights from the United States with peeps who recently traveled to China to arrive at certain United States airports with enhanced screening procedures
They pack in, spreading the virus

2/6 First Chinese citizen dies in Wuhan.
(China warned us 12/31/19, 37 days before the first death)
Which means with an incubation of 15 to 21 days, they warned us instantly. within days of the first known cases.

2/7 Pompeo pledges US to give 100m to fight covid-19.
(38 days)

2/24/20 Trump tweets. "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"

55 days, no prep or moving supplies

2/25/20 In India, Trump says that the coronavirus is “well under control” and “very few people with it.”

Larry Kudlow, tells CNBC that the U.S. has “contained” the coronavirus. "pretty much 100%"

Romney, says he's “disappointed” there is no prep, no plan.

56 days. Nada.

2/25/20 Trump Tweets "CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world."

Still no prep, 57 days

2/26/20 Trump throws Mike Pence under the bus. Appointing him Covid Czar?

Also 2/26/20 Trump says "The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days.”

He tweets " Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets... Do Nothing Democrats...

2/27/20 Whistle blower comes forward and tells that the Trump administration sent healthcare workers with no protective gear whatsoever to help Americans coming back from china.

2/28/20 Blames Dems and open borders for the virus.

58 days still no prep. Excuses, but no prep.

2/28/20 Trump tweets. "The Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by Do Nothing Dems, to be Trumps fault.

2/29/20 First US death from Covid-19

60 days since China notified the World.
60 days to get ready, gone.

Pence issues a travel advisory about Iran, Italy and S. Korea

Still no prep or mobilization, manufacturing or emergency measures. None.

2/29/20 Press conference. “We've taken the most aggressive actions to confront the coronavirus. The most aggressive taken by any country. We're the No. 1 travel destination, yet we have far fewer cases than even countries with less travel or a much smaller population.”
(60 cases)

3/2/20 Trump says a vaccine would be ready in three to four months.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, says a year to a year and a half would be a more accurate timetable.

63 days, no PPE being made, no ventilators being shipped.

HOWEVER The Federal Reserve announces rate cut.

2 months+

3/4/20 Trumps gives the upside of the deadly pandemic.
“It's affecting the airline business, as it would. And a lot of people are staying in our country, they're shopping and using our hotels. So, from that standpoint, I think, probably, there's a positive impact.”

Wow.

3/5/20 He inspires with this tweet.
"I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Dems, and MSDNC. Comcast covers CoronaVirus horribly, only looking to harm the incredible & successful effort being made!

3/6/20 He tweets and blusters, kills tariffs for masks from china.

3/7/20 Signs 8.3 Billion dollar Corona virus relief bill.

3/10/20 He tweets
“And when people need a test, they can get a test. When the professionals need a test, they can get the test. It's gone really well”

3/10/20 Says we need the wall more than ever.

3/11/20 Trump stops travel from 30 countries.
Russians still can fly in.

3/12/20 Dr Fauci "The system is not really geared to what we need right now, That is a failing. Let's admit it."

72 days, still no ppe, tests or ventilators

So when I hear you Magats screaming he "Shut it down!" actually he didn't. He put a temporary hold on Chinese nationals ONLY for 14 days.
China warned us on Dec 31, Dipshit did nothing of any substance until MARCH 12th, 72 days. No PPE, No tests, No ventilators. Nothing...

We're starting to produce things NOW, Today! 2 days short of 3 fuking months since we were warned about a deadly virus. THREE MONTHS. Condolences to the dead and sick, this didn't have to happen. The failure in leadership is an EPIC FAIL. A deadly one. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
