Was it only a month ago?

It was exactly one month ago yesterday, February 26, that Donald
Trump proclaimed the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. would
soon drop from 15 to almost none. Today, the U.S. beat China (and
Italy, and every other country) for number of coronavirus cases.
Back in February, taking the opportunity to pat himself on the back,
Trump told reporters that “when you have 15 people, and the 15
within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s
a pretty good job we’ve done.”
The number of cases did not drop, in fact, they rose. Exponentially.
Perhaps ironically, the United States today reached that new,
horrific milestone, exactly one month after President Trump’s
prognostication of “close to zero” cases “within a couple of days.”
The stunning news just broke.
“There were 82,404 confirmed cases throughout the country, which is
622 more than China, where the outbreak began,” ABC News reports.
“The total number of deaths from the virus in the country was 1,178.”
China is a nation of more than 1.4 billion people. The U.S. has just
under 330 million.

MAGA!
Yup.* It was just about a month ago that Gov. Cuomo of NY and
Mayor Bill de Blasio of NYC were encouraging New Yorkers not
to panic, go out to the theaters and restaurants, go to work
and enjoy what New York has to offer.
Today, New York represents almost half of the total confirmed
covid-19 cases in the United States which has more confirmed
cases than the rest of the world.
Well played.
Almost everyone a month ago was paying attention to and taking
seriously the information Trump was vomiting up on COVOID-19. Took a
while to realize it was all misinformation.
Amazing how quickly you can make excuses for members of your party.
Cuomo has had many years of experience (three terms in office as Gov.
plus years in government going back to 1993 first as Assistant Secretary
and then Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He's well versed
in epidemic and pandemic threats to the USA.
I make no excuses for de Blasio though.* He's just an idiot.
Everyone paid attention to and believed Bush and Cheney were telling the
truth about WMDs, too. Trump's ignorance a month ago is what is making
us pay the price.
