If I were trying to hang Trump by his shorts, I'd call it the worst argument I could have chosen.

Jan 11/12 - U.S. gets the virus genome sequencing and CDC begins developing test protocol​
Jan 14 - The WHO states there was no evidence of human-human transmission​
Jan 20 - Human transmission is confirmed.​
Jan 21 - There are 555 worldwide cases. On this day the first U.S. case is found, using the CDC new test protocol.​
Jan 21 - A. Fauci: "Obviously we need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and DHS are doing, but this is not a major threat for the people in United States, and this is not something the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about” ​

​
​
Jan 22 - On a scale of 1-10, how worried should Trump be the following day?​

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Jan 26 - "The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. It's a very, very low risk to the United States," Dr. Fauci said on The CATS Roundtable. "It isn't something that the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about." ​
Feb 17 - Fauci "I don't think people should be frightened, the risk right now, today currently is really relatively low for the American public. But that could change with China and other countries, this could evolve into a global pandemic, which would have significant implications for us. We don't want people to worry so be more worried about influenza which is going through a second peak." Risk of coronavirus in U.S. is 'minuscule' NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci says ​
Feb 29 - Restated what he's been saying all month of Feb, things could change but don't worry, no need to change anything you're doing. Dr. Fauci on coronavirus fears: No need to change lifestyle yet​
​
Mar 27 - Director Redfield agreed with Dr. Fauci's assessment, saying that at that time in January the information coming out of China suggested "they were pretty certain that this was not transmitted human to human."​
"Obviously that became corrected as they saw in the first three, four weeks in January that human to human spread was not only occurring it's actually, as I said, more infectious and I think that led to the situation that we're in today. I think no one could have predicted how transmissible, how infectious this virus really is," he added.​
​
Again, through Jan and Feb, Trump and the task force medical/pandemics are on the same page.​
​
It doesn't get better for your argument in March, either.​

What was my argument again? I suppose you chose the "receiving bad info" choice.

"I didn't lose the war, my generals did"

poor leadership

So this is fun. My business has picked up and I have asked my teams to reach out to furloughed employees and have them come back to work. Several said no bc they prefer to get the unemployment. Now I am going to call them tomorrow and say if you don’t come back in 24 hours I will notify the state that they are no longer furloughed but terminated for not reporting to work.

How many are parents with kids out of school and no daycare available now?

We are way down from where we typically are. Restaurants. I furloughed around 700 people. We probably furloughed close to 130,000 company wide across all brands. But business went from 90% down to now 65% down. And it looks to be increasing by about 10% this week. Our President says he thinks we might get back to 50% of where we were prior to this.

Well I am glad you are seeing increases. As my wife and I discussed tonight, this is all about people's confidence levels. The better the numbers get, the more people that will feel confident enough to go out and resume life.

Or choice C; this is how a novel virus, global pandemic unfurls, it would have happened the same regardless of who was in office.
Except Democrats would not have enacted those racist, xenophobic travel bans, thus making it worse.

He didn't say miracle cure, neither did I.

See? I eat steak regardless, but particularly when it's medium-rare off Jennifer Garner's arse

That depends on what your argument is. I'm simply calling Trump a liar for trying to revise history and claim that:

"I've always known this is a - this is a real - this is a pandemic. I've felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. All you had to do was look at other countries... No, I've always viewed it as very serious." - President Donald Trump

The Facts: Not once did Trump describe the COVID-19 outbreak as a possible pandemic until after the World Health Organization declared it so on March 11th. To the contrary, prior to March 11th, Trump repeatedly suggested the virus was under control and that cases were going down, not up. I understand that Trump has been in lock-step with Dr. Fauci and health care professionals... I also understand that his claim that he was calling the Coronavirus a pandemic prior to the WHO on March 11th... is an outright lie.
