Anatomy of a viral lie

So many, most, wars, start out bad until they get good--the so-called learning curve. The opposing bench sitters always criticize as if the solution should have been known and implemented on day one. Often, the doomers constant criticism without solutions exacerbates the problem.

Adaptability is the mark of a good leader. Trump team has adapted.

They are adapting.............

The White House is launching a communications plan across multiple federal agencies that focuses on accusing Beijing of orchestrating a "cover-up" and creating a global pandemic.

There’s plenty to criticize China for: They delayed, lied, censored, and tried to cover up.

The problem is the Trump* admin did (and is doing) all these things too — not sure how this strategy justifies their own (in)action.

Usually, anti-Trumpers want him to somehow create policies that fight against disinformation from foreign countries that tries to create lack of trust in our government. China is trying to spread the idea that the virus started in the U.S. and that Trump is trying to blame China. If the White House is launching the communications plan you speak of, I would imagine the justification is to squelch the Chinese disinformation and pointing out that it was, indeed, originally a "Chinese" virus, not American, and the Chinese did, indeed, try to cover it up. And that cover up was critical in creating the pandemic. Had we and the world known immediately about the Wuhan crisis, much more could have been done to prevent a pandemic.

Trump administration acted much quicker than you imply. Of course, surprise surprise, not to your satisfaction.

Trump* didn’t cause this, he squandered our only advantage, time to prepare.

Odd that South Korea achieved such different results with first case on same day and a population density 13x USA.

USA 41656
SK 8961

Apparently they had secret information or perhaps they acted swiftly and logically.

Don’t worry there’s another Trump* rally this afternoon

You can't argue facts, time lines, public comments, statistics, inaction's or delays with this crew; there minds are made up and nothing anyone says will EVER change that. To use a statement I really never liked, it is what it is.
