Those of us who survive this Trump pandemic will have to deal with a long list of

incontrovertible facts and one over-arching question. First, the facts.

China officially notified us of the emergence and spread of the Covid 19 virus on January 3rd, 2020.

Also in January, 2020, the outgoing Obama administration conducted a lengthy briefing of the incoming Trump team regarding the consensus world opinion that a flu-like viral pandemic similar to SARS was INEVITABLE. They delivered a 69 page "playbook" of public health policies to be implemented when, not if,such an outbreak occurred.

Trump "inherited" not the "broken system" he keeps whining about, but a select "pandemic response team" of experts in the fields of emergency response and infectious diseases. Trump abolished the panel.

In early February, Mr. Azar and others met with members of Congress regarding the virus and were offered funding the mount an immediate defense. They were told, in so many words, "Not necessary; we've got this."

Despite being repeatedly BEGGED by the nation's governors, doctors and nurses for federal coordination of purchasing, stay-at-home policies and use of federal defense authority to mandate production of critical supplies, Trump has refused to take the lead.

I could go on to now list all of the unbelievably stupid and arrogant thingsTrump has said about this virus, from "Democratic hoax" to "down to zero in a couple weeks", but let me close with this fact: the ONLY thing Trump did for over two months after learning of the virus was to restrict travel from China---PERIOD!

Oh yeah, that over-arching question? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE MURDERING BASTARD?
