Ah, I guess you mean like Hillary landing in Bosnia under fire or Elizabeth Warren recalling her native Indian heritage or how she was fired because she was pregnant . Then of course we have Joe Biden who.....well what is the use. I'm sure that you get the point.

I would agree that one should not judge Trump on his use of 1917 as the date of the flu pandemic. There are many, many far more serious criticisms.

The SARS death rate was about 15%, probably about 10 times that of Covid-19. (As you point out, many Covid-19 cases are going undiagnosed because of lack of testing.)

Ok. I had it completely backwards. SARS was more deadly (<10% not 15%), but not as infectious.

FACT: Trump squandered January & February, ignored intelligence briefings and warning from Navarro

FACT: He did nothing but a partial ban from China until March

FACT: It came to NY at first from Europe, not China

FACT: he promised 27 million tests by the end of March and gave us 2 million.

FACT we still lag most of the civilized world in testing per capita

FACT: Trump said he sees no more need for tests to re-open the economy

If "Hardcore" means facing FACTS, so be it.

Incorrect, the day he got the Navarro briefing was the day he started the Coronavirus task force, January 29th.

FACT: It came to NY at first from Europe, not China
Sounds like the China ban worked, then. While we should have banned Europe earlier, they got it from China, so maybe they should have ignored the WHO and banned China when we did.

FACT we still lag most of the civilized world in testing per capita
Our deaths per confirmed case ratio is pretty good, and arguably a more important number. It places us in much better shape than most of europe, but behind much of Asia.

Our response is average. Not terrible, not great.

But there never was a China ban. Huge numbers of Americans came back from China during the "ban" period.

Testing remains terrible. Here's a link to a country by country comparison.

Scroll down to the table. Sort the table on the last column - tests per 1M population. The USA figure is 7,670 per 1M or 0.8%. The US ranked 39th. Iceland tested 10% of its population.

Moreover, there's still a big delay between taking the test and getting the results, even with the private sector. This article describes the situation in most of the country.

Widespread testing was the key to avoiding the pandemic. Widespread antigen testing is the key to safely returning from lockdown and restarting the economy.

They were all quarantined for 14 days iirc.

You were mistaken.

“I was surprised at how lax the whole process was,” said Andrew Wu, 31, who landed at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight from Beijing on March 10. “The guy I spoke to read down a list of questions, and he didn’t seem interested in checking out anything.”...

Passengers including Mr. Wu described a cursory screening process when they arrived in the United States.

Mr. Wu, who has had no symptoms and has not become ill, said he was told to stay inside for 14 days when he landed in Los Angeles. He said he received two reminder messages the next day by email and text, but no further follow-up...

Another traveler, Chandler Jurinka, said his experience on Feb. 29 had an even more haphazard feel. He flew from Beijing to Seattle, with stops in Tokyo and Vancouver.

At the Seattle-Tacoma airport, he said, an immigration officer went through his documents and asked questions unrelated to the virus about his job and life in China. At no point did anyone take his temperature, he said.

“He hands me my passport and forms and says, ‘Oh, by the way, you haven’t been to Wuhan, have you?’” Mr. Jurinka said. “And then he says, ‘You don’t have a fever, right?’”

Like others, he left the airport with a card that recommended two weeks of self-quarantine and a promise that someone would call to check up on him. He said he never got a call.

Thanks for the correction. I actually remember that interview now that you've posted it.

It was just the people from Wuhan and it was very disorganized at the beginning. No one knew what to do.

Trump still did nothing in January and February. Jan 29 is still January. "Didn't know" is dog ate my homework. Invalid excuse.

Blaming WHO does not excuse Patrick Foye.

Blaming WHO does not excuse Donald Trump, who also has 18 intelligence agencies, NIH, and CDC there at his disposal, whose funding he has also cut, and it pandemic unit disbanded in 2018.

China ban did not work since there were may exemptions, and the Washington State strain came from there. European ban came much later and was even more spotty in counties affected as it was phased in.

0.7% testing rate per capita is abominable.

That depends on what you mean by "ban."

Many people were banned. Quite a few were not.

Yes. And virtually none of them were quarantined on arrival here. Some of them were asked to voluntarily isolate for 14 days.

If the ban hadn't been in place it would have been 10 times that. And it seems to have worked since the strain that's prevalent in China didn't come to the west coast in large numbers. I can't imagine what it would be like here if the ban didn't happen. We'd be like NYC.
