These first two things ought to really scare you, I hope they are not a trend.
On the first day of tracking whether the new coronavirus model Dr. Birx is using is accurate, the data on the ground exceeded the highest end of the model for deaths and new cases by 15%+.
Today a frontline doctor at a major NYC hospital tells he lost his first patient this morning to rationing of care — not enough ventilators to go around. The lack of supplies and testing is real — and costing lives — no matter what the daily reality show tries to sell you.
Now look at just what did the Dems do or not do?
If you look a little bit you will find that the coronavirus danger was pushed publicly quite a bit.
It was pushed far more within the intel and public health community.
Just think what might have happened if there were WH press conferences and hard questions were asked by nasty reporters.
We will find that out eventually, this will be investigated.
Americans will want to know how so many died and what could have been done, it will likely be hundreds of thousands worse than Benghazi.

With fewer than a dozen cases reported, Mr. Trump said
in an appearance with Sean Hannity that the United States
had stopped the virus’s spread by restricting travel. “We
pretty much shut it down coming in from China,” he said.

Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough.
Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.

March 7th
With nearly every state reporting at least one case, a reporter
asked Mr. Trump whether he was concerned that the virus was
getting closer to the White House. Mr. Trump replied, “No, I’m
not concerned at all. No, I’m not. No, we’ve done a great job.”
Remember that the same people who had a problem with Hunter Biden’s qualifications are totally cool with the president’s know-nothing son-in-law playing a big role in solving a global pandemic. It’s almost like they’re completely unprincipled scumbags.
Nations around the world bought up the worlds supplies of PPE and ventilators starting in January, including ours. The administration dawdled.
Last week, a Trump administration official working to secure much-needed protective gear for doctors and nurses in the United States had a startling encounter with counterparts in Thailand.
The official asked the Thais for help—only to be informed by the puzzled voices on the other side of the line that a U.S. shipment of the same supplies, the second of two so far, was already on its way to Bangkok.
Now read the playbook and think about what could have been if the administration had listened to the people inside and outside the administration telling them before March.
