Let’s begin. The Wuhan Coronavirus starts… to the best we can find publicly, it is first reported at the end of December 2019.
The CDC becomes alerted right before New Years Eve of something going wrong. Congress, is busy Impeaching Trump.
On all of these charts, there is a DATE, and a USA DAY #. The “DAY #” is the clock for when the Trump Administration and the @POTUS knew of the coronavirus.
The WHO and China downplay this virus throughout until they can’t anymore.
Now, the news and Dems CONSTANTLY say that the Trump response was SLOW.
We know as FACT, that by Day 4, the CDC was already actively engaged, as was HHS, and trying to get info and investigators INTO China!
On DAY 6, an OFFICIAL HEALTH ALERT is issued by the CDC to ALL US HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS to warn them of a novel coronavirus threat!
This alert goes to every STATE as well. Mind you, China and WHO are saying “Meh, no big deal”
Mind you, we are approximately two weeks in, and the only news outlet that mentions it, is the Wall Street Journal…
And the WHO is busy selling the no person-to-person transmission story.
By the DAY 12 point, the Trump Administration is now already thinking of invoking the DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT! Mind you, this is weeks before Biden pretends to know anything about COVID.
By DAY 15, the CDC begins monitoring airports (ports of entry) for ill passengers.
