Fauci also said it wasn't a big deal for the US. in January. was he wrong then or right now?
Yes China DID let the virus spread to the World. they FAILED to inform anyone of the issue and continued to allow international travel. recall every Democrats and his brother Creepy Joe Biden called Trump a xenophobe and racist when he banned travel from China and later the EU.
if you believe China contained the virus internally with less than 10,000 deaths then you are being fooled. China is known for vastly downplaying these numbers. on this link they only "claim" 4,633. i have seen "revised" numbers close to 8,000.
not even close. some international media say their local sources and evidence show more like 40,000 in Wuhan alone.
blaming Trump for not acting is false to begin with but do your self a fav and don't believe any ChimCom propaganda about how they "contained" anything.

213 43 25% Jan. 29
170 38 29% Jan. 28
132 26 25% Jan. 27
106 26 33% Jan. 26
80 24 43% Jan. 25
56 15 37% Jan. 24
41 16 64% Jan. 23
25 8 47%
allowing that any early data from China is flawed there is not pandemic yet. if China had reported this sooner Trump would have acted sooner but to say Trump was late to act based on known data and Fauci were saying is false. in fact Trump was right and Fauci wrong and Trump acted anyway.

I've been periodically checking the stats, and I was really surprised by this week. Let's hope the downward trend continues.
Trump disappointed me with how he handled this crisis. He politicized it and turned it into a democrat versus republican debate.
Who else do we have to blame for Trump not acting? He wasn't taking it seriously at the beginning and continues to downplay it. I know he banned travel coming from China in January, but that was not enough. He should have taken it more seriously. That's easy to say in hindsight, but he continues to downplay the threat.
He is not showing the kind of leadership I expected from him during a crisis like this. He even canceled the daily briefings because the media was "mean." He said some of the dumbest things I've ever heard him say during those briefings, but I still would rather have them than nothing.
He will just continue to lie and repeat these weird salesman-like predictions: "It might not ever come back," "Next year is going to be our best yet," "We're gonna bounce back like never before."
I thought this tragedy was Trump's opportunity to show the world that he's really putting America first, but he didn't. Instead, he politicized it, downplayed it, didn't take responsibility, tried to address the people but ended up just ranting and he continuously stretched the truth.
He's trying to have it both ways right now. That's why he continuously gives inconsistent information about the virus. He will say "This thing is serious. No one is taking it more seriously than me." but at the same time he will act as though it's not a big deal. That kind of mixed messaging is off-putting.
I think the majority of people want him to take a stand on this and treat it seriously and share with us some kind of long term plan, but he won't ever do that because that means admitting he was wrong.
