Here's helpful timeline:

January

Experts: Hey, this corona virus could be a really big deal, and there's a lot we don't know about it. There are some things we really should be doing.

Conservative media: LOL it's just the flu, nerds


Late March

Conservative media: You can't blame the Trump administration for not taking this seriously enough! Nobody was talking about it back in January!

Experts: WTF?!? Yes we were. See, there's tons of written proof we told you! Look at all these articles from January!

Conservative media: "Proof" eh? Looks like you're just trying to cover your asses. Checkmate, libtard epidemiologists.

Where are the articles from January?
Right here.

And here.

And here's another.

The evidence that the Trump administration should have taken this a lot more seriously just kind of keeps piling up, huh?

Two of those articles are the same thing, same author - just on separate media platforms.

And none of the three offer any substantive precautions that the US should engage in. The only proactive position is a quoted scientist who says that we should quickly attempt to develop a vaccine -which quite literally every post-industrial country, including the US, is doing.

It's like you just googled "coronavirus, January" and copied the first three links.


If you want to be critical about the administration you could argue initial testing was lacking - although there is a huge component with the WHO not allocating the proper amount of test to the US.

And even then, we are exponentially growing testing faster than any other country through the public/private partnership. The State of New York - where outbreak is the most severe - is now testing more per capita than any country other than South Korea. Not to mention, the US is the first country to patent a quick turnaround test.

Since you're making this political, I will.

Perhaps this could have been taken more seriously in January if there wasn't a Witch Hunt of an impeachment trial going on?

Not what I said. Re-read.

More people need to read that article.

Although shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

My daily covid positive update. Not doing do well. Cough is we worse se md my throat is killing me. I am not in panic mode but I did call m ugh doctor. He doesn't want me back in his office but instead advised m ed to go to to the hospital. As soon as my mom gets here to watch the kids we are gonna go get checked out. I am thinking it may be normal for the cough to get worse but the wife thinks we are dying. I will keep you updated. We are gonna beat this.

Not telling you not to go hospital but they likely won’t do much unless you are having shortness of breath.

Tennessee just shut down schools till April 24.
