The rest of the world is geting a Handel on the virus but not us the difference is they have leaders, and we don't. Trumps tasks force has guidelines that trump and pence ignore
A grate leader Knows how to delegate.
Your right,Trump did nothing to combat the pandemic. Let's look at a time table of his inaction.
January 6- Trump's CDC issued a travel warning for Wuhan province before the first US case.
January 7- The CDC launched its corona virus incident management system.
January 17- still before the first US case, the CDC began enhanced screenings at SFO, LAX, and JFK.
January 20- after just one US case, the CDC opened its emergency management center.
January 21- CDC expanded testing to Atlanta and Chicago airports.
January 23- The State Department ordered all non-essential personnel and their families to evacuate Wuhan.
January 27- HHS Secretary Alex Azar led the first presidential corona task force meeting.
January 29- President Trump chaired the PCTF meeting and introduced the members to the press.
January 31- One day after the WHO issued a warning of a health concern for the covid-19, Trump issued his travel ban from China. Biden accused Trump of being xenophobic and Schumer accused him of continuing his war on immigrants.
February 2- CDC added Honolulu, Seattle and Dulles airports to those doing enhanced screenings.
February 4- Trump allowed the use of CDC tests in non-CDC labs. Trump also addressed it in his State of the Union Address, that Pelosi said contained nothing of importance and tore up.
February 5- Trump's acting chief of staff addressed congressional leaders of both parties.
February 9- PCTF addressed state level executives on the pandemic.
February 11- HHS expanded partnership with Johnson and Johnson to develop a vaccine.
February 18- HHS offered funds and expertise to Sanofi Pastuer to develop a vaccine and treatments.
February 22-24- CDC discouraged travel to Iran, Italy, Korea, and Japan. Trump asked for an initial $1.25billion in corona virus relief.
February 26- Trump directs Pence to lead the White House response.
February 27- Dr Birx is named coordinator of the covid-19 response.
There is more but this post has run long enough and I think it proves exactly what Trump didn't do. If more is needed, I will post more later.
