The response for other preparations was delayed, at the federal and state levels. I don't see how that is a debate point in any of this. I don't think POTUS took this seriously enough in the beginning, and still at times is waffling in public with misleading and incorrect statements about testing, preparedness and none of that helps.
It is going to be a long road, if we are lucky, and Faucci's number (200K dead) is correct (and that is lucky, vs millions in some models).

yes it hit china first. and as i showed beyond any doubt, when trump responded
by implementing a travel ban, Biden, Schumer and CNN said Trump was a bigot and a dictator for doing so. As recently as late February many in the liberal media were saying that concern about the virus was a thinly veiled excuse for bigotry against Chinese. Diblasio was telling new yorkers in late february to keep going out to restaurants and bars.
Now all of a sudden, Trump
missed the obvious signals and should have seen it coming.
Bryan, excluding you, the hypocrisy from the left on this issue is obvious. mind boggling. Politics is all that matters.
Trumps words, as usual, are poor. You’re saying he under reacted. the entire left said he over reacted and was just trying to stoke fear.
can’t have it both ways.
