You're lying again. And your math sucks. Try counting the number of days between Feb. 29 (first American covid death) and March 13 (when he declared a national pandemic). Still get 6 weeks?
And you forgot to mention how he banned all travel from China way back on Jan. 31. Actually you didn't forget. You just deliberately failed to mention it. You're so full of trump hatred that you can't shit, piss, or say anything positive about him - even when he does something right. Originally Posted by lustylad

Maybe you missed this post about Obama doing the same thing with H1N1

“‘Listen, we need to be aggressive early on this,’” Biden announced, according to Brennan.
But when it's Trump's turn to be aggressive and shut down flights from China, Biden's all "Xenophobia".
The next week, Biden made good on his pledge — and set off a deluge of criticism. In an interview on NBC’s “Today,” Biden said he wouldn’t advise his family to fly on planes or ride the subway.
“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now," Biden said. "It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”
Airlines angrily accused Biden of fearmongering. Media reports noted that Biden’s pessimism contrasted sharply with the reassurances President Barack Obama had given a day earlier, when he said there was no need to panic even as he declared a national health emergency. In a matter of hours, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Deputy Secretary of State Jack Lew were summoned to the White House and assignedto clean up the mess Biden made: “Nip it in the bud,” LaHood said, recalling their instructions.
By 4 p.m., the three officials were hosting a news conference and backing away from the vice president’s words.
The snafu was the first of many scrambles and setbacks by the Obama administration in its initial response to the swine flu. POLITICO interviewed almost two dozen people, including administration officials, members of Congress and outsiders who contended with the administration’s response, and they described a litany of sadly familiar obstacles: vaccine shortfalls, fights over funding and sometimes contradictory messaging.
“It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time, said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010 and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”
Same old pattern. Anything Obama did was good. Trump does the same thing, bad. I think Trump was being his boastful self when he said he knew this or that but a review of the timelines which we have gone over ad nauseam, have Dr. Fauci saying well into March that there was nothing to worry about and no reason for any American to change their behavior and this from the leading scientist, something Trump is not.
