    maybe there was a briefing that said due to hot spots, the idea of opening back up by Easter is fading fast...and then a bolt of lighting come down - quarantine them now! Yes sir, we go study it. Tweet out the lighting bolt idea before the study.

    erratic behaviors are a norm

    your act is so old man, and the fact you routinely play dumb...Claiming to be in the middle and routinely, predictably always taking the side of that goggle wearing trump supporter. Or essentially any issue that lines up with him through your passive aggressive posts.

    At least Mojoman and dachuda have the courage to come out and say it. I know you're trying to take a dig at Fauci, but take a look at the time and where all his information was coming from. It was china. He can only comment and say as much as china discloses. We know they're full of **** and have way way way higher #s than they initially reported.

    People like @Os Trigonum bear some responsibility for this massacre along with all Trump voters.

    The PRC is now sending aid and medical expertise to other countries. They have been active in Italy and have offered to help the US.

    It showed the virus was out with community spread outside of China. You said there was no community spread. There was.

    Is that why the City if Houston is in bidding wars with other cities for much needed PPE?

    Not sure what that has to do with my post? Is it your contention that the PRC isn't sending aid so there is a shortage?

    my point is that the aid shouldn’t have went to China in the first place. That was absolute stupid and short sighted.

    I agree it was short sighted but at the time no one quite grasped the severity of it especially the US Administration. Pompeo's tweet was February 7th. on February 29th Trump was saying this was the latest hoax from the media and Democrats.

    This goes to an argument I've made for a long time this is an international crisis with an international response. It probably would've been wise to hold onto that material if we realized the severity of this crisis but at the same time there is a logic to help the PRC to contain it where it started. As the PRC turns the corner they are the one's sending aid out now. If we take a narrow and nationalistic view it will be much harder for us a global civilization to recover. It was regretful that we sent that aid when we are facing shortages but if it ends up that countries we aided helps us then it isn't going to be that big of a loss.

    I think you missed his point. Do you give everyone the same benefit of the doubt you give Fauci based on looking at the time and where the information was coming from?
