You guys are going to be whining about Trump for another four years so maybe you should pace yourselves a little.

If your complaint about Trump is that he moved too slowly against this latest Chinese plague then just imagine the glacial response you'd get with senile old Joe Biden in charge. Remember how long it took him to decide to even run for President? He brings that kind of decisiveness to this situation. Guaranteed that our body count would be much much higher because no way would he have instituted early travel bans, especially from China. I don't think he would have been able to marshal private industry either.

Of course this would have been in the fourth year of his presidency. He's already worn out and he hasn't even taken office yet. By year four he'd be completely useless. The nation would have to pray that his VP, who he picked for their gender and quite possibly their skin color over their qualifications, will be able to quickly 25th Amendment him out of the way and organize some sort of response, maybe by June or July. That's assuming that four years of tearing down our healthcare system will not have completely destroyed our ability to respond at all.
