The real timeline, with real verifiable facts and actions, of my country’s response to the crisis.
May we all be able to be more calm and steady, when we empower ourselves with the facts.
Dec. 31: China announces they are investigating a “pneumonia outbreak” in Wuhan
Jan. 7: CDC established an Incident Management System (just 7 days later)
Jan. 17: CDC sent 100+ staffers to specific US airports to screen travelers who'd been in Wuhan
Jan. 21: CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (just 3 weeks later)
Jan. 29: President established Presidential Task Force - BEFORE THE THING EVEN HAD A NAME
Jan. 30: State Dept issued a Do Not Travel warning to China (still less than one month after initial announcement from China)
Jan. 30: WHO announced the Coronavirus is a public health emergency of international global concern.
In short, before WHO even announced its “global concern,” the administration was working on his response for almost a month, and had already established a presidential task force.
Jan. 31: To the left's cries of “RACISM!”, the president proactively suspended entry of foreign nationals who’d been to China in the last 14 days.
Jan. 31: The president issued quarantines, and through Secretary Azar, declared a public health emergency for the entire nation.
Feb. 11: WHO named the virus COVID-19. The Trump administration’s first response, a week after the initial announcement—l, was when the virus hadn’t even been named by the World Health Organization yet. It wasn’t named until Day 42. Meanwhile, the CDC, NIH, FEMA, FDA, HHS, the DOD, and all the agencies of our scientific community have already been working feverishly to sequence the RNA of the virus to get its proteins, it's messenger RNA sequenced, and get a vaccine going.
Feb. 24: The president unveiled the initial plan.
Yet, according to the leadership of the other party, our president has failed us. Following OVER A MONTH of response—they’re accusing our president of failing us. TDS is real.
Feb. 26: President Trump appointed VP Mike Pence to head the whole of government response. That appointment is in keeping with the 2015 Obama-era Panel on Biodefense.
Feb. 29: Sixty days after the Chinese announcement, the US sadly lost its first victim to COVID-19.
March 11: WHO declares COVID-19 to be a global "pandemic."
So, 53 days before the US lost a single life to this disease, the administration was already working diligently to protect our country.
The US WILL lose lives to this virus, but as noted by Obama appointee and former director of the CDC Tom Friedman, had the president not responded so quickly, we would not have been prepared as we are, and more lives would’ve been lost.
Drop THAT the next time some lib tries to argue something they were fed by Fake News about how "poorly" the administration is handling COVID-19.b
