I really don't wanna reply to your whole post becaue number one your not a medical expert .
Secondly your not a Whitehouse insider so you actually have no idea what your talking about .
The President should have followed the documented procedures for dealing with an epidemic instead of ignoring them and suggesting that it was somebody else's job.
But I will reply to this .
He ignored nothing he did absolutly everything his advisers told him to do.
The " WHO "created the procedures for dealing with epidemics , I'm talking about the same WHO that lied and delayed declaring COVID a pandemic now why exactly they delayed God only knows but it has alot to do with them being in bed with China .
Trump and every other World Leader was building there plans around what the WHO was saying , now had we known they were trying to cover something sure things could have been different , If China had just told us what was really coming things could have been different .
I would like for you to tell me what Trump could have donw differently in dealing with this pandemic short of challenging Covid to a one on one boxing match which is basically what the MSM says he should have done.
The media sir the MAIN STREAM MEDIA does not care about America matter of fact they hate the very idea of America .
China has no responsibility or mandate to deal with American internal problems. That is the meaning of 'sovereign states' - they deal with their own issues, separately.
I can't believe that anyone would be crying about China's inaction in regard to solving the USA's problems. That's just nuts. A further example of a weak leader doing little and not taking the responsibility.
Your blaming Trump for something that was out of his control , the problem originated in China and then was covered in lies then made it's way to Americas heartland and went off like a bomb .
What happen after that is the fault of our leadership yes but not Trump alone the man simply did what he was told, he even tried to shut travel from China immediately and was called racist for doing so.
It's like an ICBM was launched from China and then hit the American coast , but some how it's Trumps fault for not containing the explosion.
Mate your not that dumb or dense so stop acting like it.
And it's not an American internal Problem how could it be an internal problem when the Problem originated someplace else ?
That same disease has hit every single other nation on Earth, including China.
In the case of New Zealand, where I live, the sources of the virus were from Iraq, Italy and the USA. I don't think any outbreak has been traced directly back to China from here.
So do I blame the USA because our epidemic was partly from them?
And, if I did allocate blame, would it do anything at all about the situation?
Mate it originated in China .
Just because it filtered through 4 other countries before getting to New Zealand makes no difference , there would have been no virus if not for China .
Your allocating the blame to Trump , yet you ask what good does it do to allocate blame ?
The simple truth is none of this would have happen if not for China and the WHO
the rest of us including the USA and New Zealand dealt with the situation as best we could .
The Political situation in America is way different than New Zealand
Trump was fighting the Media and Political Psychos at every turn to make things happen
Let me ask you do you think ol Joe Biden could have done a better job? I'm sure the Media would have made it seem so.
We are talking about the USA here mate think about our population think about the amount of travel in and out of this country every day think about the amount of goods shipped in and out of this country everyday of course we are still fighting this Virus we probably will be fighting it for years .

The US didn't have to wait for the WHO to declare it a pandemic. Do you think doctors just wait around to see if their patients have officially defined diseases before treating them? As soon as there were sick, the doctors were on the job.
Come on really ? They would have crucified Trump if he made the moves prior to the pandemic that we made after , you know it and I know it so don't even go there.
Mate the people who were going to listen to Trump listened the ones that were not going to didn't listen end of story. Regardless even if he was downplaying it the FED still made the proper moves so I'm not seeing your point.
The government knew there were cases of it in country and that it was obviously spreading. The CDC was warning Trump and he was telling everyone it would go away - for months!
So panic would have been the better course of action ?
If the WHO had some blame for inaction, then Trump had way more blame. But because he could never admit the truth about there being a problem 'on his watch', he lied, and smiled, and waved, and lied again.
Once it got here the virus was going to spread there was nothing we could do about it
yes he down played it and in doing so did what a leader is supposed to do stayed composed and keep people from panicking.
Imagine if Winston Churchill would have ran through the streets of Britain screaming panic and doom , that little island would be a German speaking nation and the world would look much different.
Churchill lied , smiled and lied again and in doing so saved his nation.

So in the start of the impeachment -- Democrats and MSM response to his action is ---source
Jan. 31: Trump issues the "Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus." Later in the day, Biden campaigns in Iowa and tells the crowd that Americans “need to have a president who they can trust what he says about it, that he is going to act rationally about it. ... This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”
Also in the wake of the ban on Jan. 31:
An article in The New York Times quotes epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm as saying that Trump's decision to restrict travel from China was "more of an emotional or political reaction."
The Washington Post runs a story quoting a Chinese official asking for "empathy" and slamming the White House for acting "in disregard of WHO recommendation against travel restrictions."
Vox tweets: "Is this going to be a deadly pandemic? No." The tweet was deleted weeks later.
Canada's health minister Patty Hajdu, who would later say there was no reason to doubt Chinese coronavirus data, says the risk of the virus is "low" and that early-warning systems are working "exactly as they should." The "spread of the disease is contained," Hajdu claimed.
Death counts indicated that 213 people had died and nearly 10,000 had been infected.
Make up your minds Are you run by a single power or multiple levels ?
What was the Governor of New York doing in January?
Where was the 3rd in line to the seat of the president? Was she there helping or in Chinatown under mining everything Trump said and tried to do?
You not a good historian are you?

The super spreader is some operative on either the democrat party, the CCP gov't or both. It's probably both.
or.............maybe just maybe someone not wearing a mask, someone who has been seen in large crowds, or
someone downplaying a pandemic. I know this is a conspiracy site, but sometimes things are exactly as they are.
You touch a fire you get burnt..
I know of way more mask wearers who have gotten it than non mask-wearers. Did the mask wearers touch a fire too?

No # Sherlock, have you heard about airtravel? These tubes with wings like birds that can bring everyone, with enough money, to everywhere on the world in under 24h?
Trump shut down Travel from China relative early and he was called a racist bigot for it
by people with your mindset! In the aftermath of it all, there could have been better solutions, true. But we all didn't know that back then.
Trump is far from an ideal president, so was Obama, Bush and Clinton too. The only difference this time is that he was an underdog
and had to struggle with so much dirt thrown on him by the establishment, since the beginning. The media went full bat # crazy on him, you all just didn't notice the blatant hatred because people with your mindset were all up in arms against him too.
Those who died in November, in Northern France, from pneumonia, and whose lungs showed COVID-19 type lesions, were elderly and did not have any traceable contacts with anyone who had recently traveled from China.

SARS is not a new virus, while this mutation is new, these symptoms are not new. The symptoms you write about are from pneunomia. COVID-19 is how the disease is called, it shares a lot of similar injuries with the flu.
It's dishonest to write that in November 2019, France had patients that had pneumonia and thus COVID-19 type lesions and conclude from it, it must have been COVID-19 because of the new SARS type COV2.
That's like saying, if you loose your smell and taste because of the flu, that's also a COVID-19 symptom and thus you must have had COVID-19.
Every car is a vehicle, but not every vehicle is a car. It's not rocket science to understand this.

well that's it you convinced me 100% Trumps fault if :-
the whole of America follows and does exactly what Trump says when he says it without question.
Everyone is right on the Trump train - no-one is questioning, disobeying or activity doing the opposite.
Every Democrat and Republican is standing by to aid and help push the Make America Great Again Dream come true.
But If the above is not true then a bit of personnel responsibility for your own Governors, Mayors and other state & City level leaders decisions is called for.
So did all your leaders do exactly what Trump said as soon as he said it?

Well good luck with locking it out and waiting til the world finds a solution.
Every time someone leaves and comes back or a tourist comes in you risk getting an outbreak.
All you've done is put everyone in lock down within your shores, just like many little islands around the world.
Nothing to brag about.
just delaying the inevitable, how long can NZ function in a bubble?
