True.

Then you are acting responsively.  Unlike some folks who are encouraging
mass gatherings (e.g. look at Trump's statement about packing the
churches on Easter Sunday).

 GD> The virus does not care if you're Liberal or a Conservative.
 GD> It does not care if you're Democrat or a Republican either.

True.

 GD> Squabbling about it, will not solve anything.

What can help solve things is if people speak truth to power and stop
drinking the kool-aid.

 GD> Acted Sooner? 
 
Yes -- we were warned that it was coming as far back as January.  But
Trump kept denying that it was a problem, instead calling it a hoax.
His travel bans did nothing to stop the spread of the infection -- the
virus was already here.

 GD> Obama played golf also so what, he didn't even institute a travel ban
 GD> at ALL. He did not even call it a "National Epidemic" until October 
 GD> -- he played his ass off, playing golf. 
 GD> So again your point is, what exactly...?

Obama played golf, yes.  But far less than Trump.

 GD> You know who really lied? The Communist party of China.

But that could be expected from an adversary like China.  It should not
be expected from *OUR* President.
