That travel ban was heavily criticized.
We actually learned about human to human contagion at the tail end of January. By January 23rd China implemented the Hubei lockdowns.
Heck, this administration's only saving grace so far was shutting down travel from China in January 27th.

That travel ban was heavily criticized.
Also lockdowns is a misnomer. We should've started stockpiling masks, ventilators, etc. That's what being ready meant.
Mostly for being too little, too late.
That would have been great. Who was sounding the alarm for this in February? Tucker Carlson?
Eyup. The needs of this were plain to any expert.
This is the cost of lost time from Trump/Bolton getting rid of the pandemic team.
not limited to that. a lot of the criticism was calling it xenophobic.
it was objectively a good move. my problem is the administration keeps pointing to that as "see we did everything we could stop saying we didn't act prudently" when that was just 1 (albeit important) step
they did next to nothing to mitigate the spread here or address our unpreparedness

You should post all those vids from Dems calling for masks and ventilators back in Feb. Oh, they were still reeling from re ed impeachment fiasco.
Who didn't? There were already talks about South Korea doing massive testing, etc.
I mean, I guess you were paying attention to the idiot that said we only had 15 cases and this was going to disappear like a miracle, and you didn't notice
Of course it was a good move in hindsight, and for people that always complain that this administration doesn't get credit, well, they certainly do get credit for that. You just can't use that as a shield for the other 1000 ups, especially when they're still ongoing.
We already knew about the need for ventilators back in February.

Here's another warning from early February, from a doctor:
https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/07/...navirus-cases/
Much of that work revolves around hospitals planning for what Biddinger called the “four S’s” of a surge in patients amid an outbreak: supplies, staff, space, and the system that governs all of them.
They need to review their inventory of supplies, including ventilators, oxygen tanks, and the respirator masks that health workers might need to wear to care for infected patients. They need to plan for how to protect other patients in the hospital, particularly those with weak immune systems. They need to review screening procedures and the proper way to put on protective gear. And they need to educate everyone — from the front desk employees in the ER to the workers who take out the trash in patient rooms — in those protocols.
Great to pretend now that we didn't know, just not true.

Yeah I have some coming in I ordered about a week ago; box of surgical and a couple KN95s. Didn't get quite as gouged as I thought I would.
Were there mean tweets?
Did that criticism make Trump curl up into fetal position when it came to any other proactive measures?
Let me know just how much slack you want us to cut the ing President of the United States.
Defend this, Darrin.
Let's see it. Maybe you got a little jokey-joke to add to it.
Good read.
Everybody had a clue except Trash and a couple of idiot entourage.
Damn, that's grim business, Midst.
Tell it, D.
Testify!!!
This is a jokey-joke.
It's also precisely true.
TWO MONTHS after

That’s not leadership. That’s bad judgment
