Ahh... so he knew it was a serious threat back in January, THEN chose to not do anything.
Got it.

People are now totally fine with stopping life when someone tells you it's necessary.
When even Trump agrees with the scientists and you're the only outlier; I think it might be time to reevaluate your position.
Not sure why you think this isn't a measured reaction. shite will be monitored and if the spread significantly decreases, stuff will open back up for business.

He did do something. He banned travel with China.
Your ability to read is very questionable.
What would you have wanted him to do?

MrClean was sent for testing and they tested everything BUT for corona. BCBS wouldn't authorize it according to his post.

I'm not the only outlier, I'm just the only one that doesn't care about down votes or bumpkin Louisiana residents unironically calling me a redneck for stepping outside the hive to observe the absurdity.
It's also hilarious that I'm now expected to fall in line behind Trump when a week ago that was mocked on this board. fricking joke.
Admit to me that this is by far the most dangerous disease to ever grace the modern world, or if not explain why you want to act as if it is.

Has shite really hit the fan health wise? Panic has caused an economic shite storm.

Your argument is a total non sequitur. The virus doesn't need to have a 50% fatality rate in order to be a problem or warrant precautionary measures.

That poster would have shite on him if he had declared a National Emergency earlier.
Hell, he probably shite on his “ban travel from China” decision like the rest of the OMB contingent.
Pelosi was pissed about that and wanted to reverse the Chinese travel ban up until the day before yesterday.
There is literally nothing that Trump could do to obtain the OMB contingent’s approval.
They won’t even back him during this event.
Could you see them even backing the man after a 9/11 type event?
I couldn’t.

Every event for the next 3 months has been called off or postponed. You really need to quantify "precautionary measures" because while I'm pretty sure we've seen those before, we have never seen this.

Most of these doomsday wishcasters and history revisionist will say he should have stopped all travel abroad. Even though they know they would have roasted him for it and said it was racist.

I agree to an extent but like all things like this it’s fluid. Instead of shutting shite down till June it should be evaluated bi-weekly and go from there. I believe we went too far too fast but I know it’s more about cya than actual public safety.
