If it is true this was going to kill 2.2 million in US as was predicted at one point then Trump limiting it to 60k makes him the unquestioned greatest president in our history - his actions have saved over 2 million lives and he is a hero for all time.
If you are not prepared to go that far.... then one must ponder the possibility that to a certain degree the medical people are pulling shit out of their asses and really don't know what is going to happen and are hazarding educated guesses. IMO this is much closer to the truth than there was ever going to be 2.2 million deaths.
This argument may have merit because no matter how much the Chinese are lying it is now doubtful this was ever as lethal as it was hyped to be in March. This does not mean it was not dangerous or that any mitigation was not warranted. But did we overreact? Someday we can assess that point.
Now we must consider recent news that the Chinese knowingly allowed this to spread globally. That means that is was an intentional act that is now responsible for roughly 20X Pearl Harbor or 9/11 deaths in US making it the most dangerous attack in US history. It will kill more US ciizens than either Vietnam or Korea.
We need to recognize this for what it was - a state sponsored decision to not contain it and to disrupt the world. It was reckless at best or criminal/terroristic at worst. IMO it is the later and we need to stop calling this thing anything but the Wuhan Virus. Naming names is part of the accountability that must happen.
Given that our greatest streagth as a nation is our economy the notion of putting it back on track has to be the highest priority if in fact we are now in a war (as I think we are) with the Chinese. What that means is that similar to the Cold War every citizen is now a soldier and needs to do their duty and go back to work if they are able.
It is now time for all of us to start pulling on the same end of he rope again. God Bless America.

Thanks for the laugh, the ditherer in chief called it a hoax, ignored intelligence, didn't mobilize the DPA quick enough.
Wants to blame WHO, but not the leader of China, because he has authoritarian characteristics.

What was the national media doing Jan 31st? Non-stop coverage of Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler in the Senate making a fool of themselves and the democratic party. And calling Trump a racist because he cut off travel with China.
But no stories on the Virus.
Ok a couple days ago I said I wasn’t going to post anymore on this subject, but when I see people trying to defend their position by inserting a quote from HL Mencken that tells me everything I need to know about that person. You voted for him or you didn’t...that’s your right as an American citizen...but I’ll guarantee you one thing I’d rather have him in the White House handling this than a guy that puts his foot in his mouth every time he opens it. And don’t get me started about Mrs. Clinton! So now everyone knows where I stand.
