Here's another timeline I found that clearly identifies
events since "early" January.Â* Very revealing considering
the current bitches and complaints about Trump:

January 11: Chinese state media report the first known death from an
(unknown) illness originating in the Wuhan market.

January 15: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) holds a vote to
send articles of impeachment to the Senate. Pelosi and House Democrats
celebrate the “solemn” occasion with a signing ceremony, using
commemorative pens. That same day, the first person with coronavirus in
the United States arrives from China, where he had been in Wuhan.

January 21: The first American case of coronavirus is confirmed at a
clinic in Snohomish County, Washington.

January 23: The House impeachment managers make their opening arguments
for removing President Trump.

January 23: China closes off the city of Wuhan completely to slow the
spread of coronavirus to the rest of China.

January 27: The White House convenes a special task force to deal with
the emerging threat of coronavirus.

January 29: The president chairs a meeting of the White House
coronavirus task force for the first time.

January 30: Senators begin asking two days of questions of both sides in
the president’s impeachment trial.

January 30: The World Health Organization declares a global health
emergency as coronavirus continues to spread.

January 31: The Senate holds a vote on whether to allow further
witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial.

January 31: President Trump declares a national health emergency and
imposes a ban on travel to and from China. Former Vice President Joe
Biden calls Trump’s decision “hysterical xenophobia … and fear-mongering.”

February 2: The first death from coronavirus outside China is reported
in the Philippines.

February 3: House impeachment managers begin closing arguments, calling
Trump a threat to national security.

February 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the
Union address; Pelosi rips up every page.

February 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles
of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47.

February 5: House Democrats finally take up coronavirus in the House
Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.

March 11: WHO declares covid-19 a pandemic.



You forgot all the Trump campaign speeches and golf.


He quite correctly pointed out that when we were supposed to be
concentrating on the virus, the house majority and 46% of the senate
were spending every minute of their day on a quixotic impeachment
attempt that was doomed to failure before they started and they knew
it. It wasn't until after they got their ass handed to them there
that they latched on to the virus as a vehicle to attack the
president.
