Hell, it wasn't even considered a pandemic til a couple weeks ago.
Lol, it's not about "stopping it", genius...obviously it was never going to be stopped in its tracks...it's about being competent enough to at least see the warning signs, take advice of physicians and medical scientists for preparedness/basic infrastructure, and not send mixed-messages downplaying its significance to the country's populace, which we are still seeing the effects of (e.g., spring break).

Liquidating the WH NSC pandemic response team didn't help, either....but I digress.
