2. Trump did not "suspend inbound flights from China." It was not a full travel ban. Thousands of people came into the country from China after his "ban."

3. Two weeks would've made a big difference. We might have even been able to go into containment mode instead of mitigation.

4. This is only my opinion but the biggest thing Trump could've done from the beginning is take the threat seriously. He had a chance to get all Americans on the same page. People from Mississippi and the South in general wouldn't have trusted Obama or somebody like that in this scenario, but they do trust Trump. He could've had the entire country pulling in the same direction.
Instead he called it a "democratic hoax" and compared it to the flu among a litany of other nonsense.
Which democrats took it seriously back in January? Can you name the 1st one that came out and said this shit is serious, and when that was?
Cause I cain't find any.
