President Trump chose life at every turn in the war against the virus and that's a good thing

At some point early in the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump had a choice to make. Jan. 20, was when China finally confirmed human-to-human transmission, more than a month after the outbreak began. At that point, high mortality rates were not yet on the radar. But on Jan. 24, China would lock down Wuhan and the surrounding region.


A day later, on Jan. 25, the first doctor to treat the virus and who tried to warn the world about it died from it in China, raising international awareness. That was the seminal moment that told both the public and world leaders two very important things: 1) this virus is much worse than was realized, and 2) that was because China was lying about it.


On Jan. 29, the President appointed the White House coronavirus task force. The State Department was already evacuating people from Wuhan. At that point, only a few hundred people had died in China. On Jan. 31, he suspended all travel from China. Now we know those early calls were critical and bought America time, enough time to get ready for the worst of the storm that we are now in.


By March 13, President Trump had declared a national emergency and deregulated the FDA approval process so we'd have some way to treat the virus and might help us lessen its severity. States followed in short order with canceling schools, with the stay at home orders coming thereafter. At every turn, President Trump chose life, acted decisively and has led the country through this emergency and the American people, by and large, have followed his leadership. And that's a good thing.
