    But it's amusing watching it squirm.

    Lol. Think about what you are saying.
    The national plan involves working with the individual states - you really are just embarrassing yourself with your reaching now Lou.

    The first word was the answer.
    If you need to resort to red herrings, it is you who are squirming.

    But what's the plan? You have dodged this question. A bullet point is not a plan.

    Here's is an example of a plan (from Obama).

    Why is it irrelevant then? Aside from its inconvenience?

    Trump’s handling of the virus has now cancelled 9-11.

    I'm pretty sure he/she is just a high school kid trolling us all.

    That was my sense too, but if so, he/she has a fairly high grasp of language. Too bad it's being wasted in a cynical game of political baiting.

    Already explained that.
    Not sorry if that is inconvenient for you.

    You have some chutzpah telling us I'll have some stupid answer after your replies recently dear chap.
    Once again, the national plan is outlined in the article I linked you to.
    Your failure to comprehend that is not my fault.
    This time try reading past the subheadings.

    Yeah these people don't fool me for a second.
    I know they see the reasoning as well which is why they attack - can't have that upsetting their little apple carts.

    No you didn't. You merely claimed it was a red herring and irrelevant. Explain yourself.

    Let's see how many lies were in the White House's official "Historic Coronavirus Response Brief"


    On Monday, August 10, the White House released a fact sheet about "President Trump's Historic Coronavirus Response." It is — perhaps unsurprisingly — full of ****. While I suppose one could argue that any action taken during a 21st century pandemic is inherently "historic" inasmuch as it has no historical precedent due to the unstoppable forward progression of time, this is not what the brief is actually arguing. Instead, it makes such claims as:
    • Took early action to cut off travel from China
    • Built the world's leading testing system from nothing
    • Enacted mitigation measures to slow the spread
    • Mobilized public and private sectors to secure needed supplies
    • Took action to protect vulnerable Americans
    • Launched effort to deliver a vaccine and therapeutics in record time
    • Provided support to workers and businesses
    • Paved way for reopening to get America working again
    • Surged resources to hot spots as they arose
    • Confronted China as origin of the virus while Democrats and media cowered

    Some of these might raise an eyebrow; others are deliberately vague and platitudinal enough to maybe pass muster, at least at first glance.

    But the fact-checking team at Medium has done a fantastic and comprehensively-linked breakdown of each and every one of those "historic" responses — and succinctly eviscerates most of it.

    The U.S. was neither ahead or after the curve in restricting travel from China. The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on January 30. The same day, the State Department raised its travel advisory for China to "Level 4 — Do Not Travel." In doing so, the U.S. was acting in accordance with many other countries. According to ThinkGlobalHealth, a Council for Foreign Relations program that has tracked the countries that have imposed travel bans on China, 36 countries including the U.S. had imposed travel restrictions by February 2.
    So yes, congratulations to President Donald J. Trump for gleefully enacting his xenophobic policies right when the W.H.O. that he despises recommended doing so for non-xenophobic reasons.

    Anyway, if you're looking for a comprehensive resource for fact-checking the US coronavirus response, Medium's got you covered.
