So what do you think he should do, hot shot?



He will get attacked no matter what he does. He got attacked for putting a travel ban with china. Calling him racist.

But aside from Economic sanctions, what can they do?

I just gave you a link showing the timeline of the outbreak and China’s efforts to cover it up until it was too late and the virus was already spreading across the globe.

What exactly could he as the president do to China specifically besides push for more economic sanctions or start a war? I'm not sure what the former accomplishes in terms of changing the fact that they are an autocratic authoritarian government who will always heavily edit what they release to the world in terms of information. Also, completely cuting off any trade at all with China and its 1.4 billion people isn't exactly a strong or smart long term plan. Starting a war or taking some military action of some kind is a horrendous idea for more reasons that I can even articulate.

I think we could make some fundamental changes to our country to combat potential future outbreaks of viruses that come from abroad. What do you think we could or should do with China?

Congratulate them on finally making something that last longer than a couple days before it breaks.

If we’re ever going to do anything, now is the time to do it. We could start a new normal. They need to protect themselves too.

Nice cherry pick. They told the WHO they had a new virus. Here’s what they did after that....

Jan. 11–17: Important prescheduled CCP meeting held in Wuhan. During that time, the Wuhan Health Commission insists there are no new cases.

Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus."

Dec. 31: Wuhan health officials confirm 27 cases of illness and close a market they think is related to the virus' spread. China tells the World Health Organization’s China office about the cases of an unknown illness.
