Rod, I was complimenting the theoretical Democrat.
Maybe he was distracted by "impeachment".

You truly are a sight to behold!

Trump also went golfing on Jan 18, Jan 19, Feb 1, Feb 15, Mar 7, and Mar 8. The first time he admitted the coronavirus might be a problem was Mar 13. Before that, he consistently downplayed the threat.

This point seems almost too obvious to point out, but the CDC and the HHS and FEMA are not involved with impeachment. There is no reason they would have been distracted.

Trump took China at face value early on in the crisis and even thanked Xi for China's transparency and praised the Chinese response to the crisis. At that time, US intelligence services were telling Trump that the Chinese were lying.

I could go on for quite some time, listing all of the missteps by Trump regarding this crisis. The truth is that this crisis was utterly foreseeable in every detail. The US government has extensive policy reports and simulations on this exact subject. They even have an NSC pandemic playbook that the Trump administration chose to ignore. He fired the white house global pandemic team, and he eliminated a key US public health position in China whose purpose was to help detect disease outbreaks in China. Trump wasn't distracted. The alarm bells were ringing, and the emergency lights were flashing. He chose to ignore them and actively worked against any foresight for this crisis.
