Think we'd have that many if the states and the federal government had shut down travel back in early March after they knew about the intelligence reports from January and February?

Where are we getting that 2+ TRILLION DOLLARS? Do you find it interesting that it went from 2 Billion, to 8.5 billion, to 100 trillion, to where it's at now? Are you mad at POTUS and CONGRESS over it?
china hid it from us for 2 months. the virus was here way before March. it is to believed to be here in November and December. all of your trump haters have always got to find a way to blame everything on trump

From the NY Times and the WHO, COIVD-19 was discovered on November 17, 2019. China knew of a possible virus a few weeks earlier, but didn't know what it was. Within six short weeks it became widespread in China. It may have come to the West coast of the U.S. and Canada on December 31, 2019.

COVID-19 came up quickly where the leadership challenges are new to all world leaders. Some world leaders are handling it better than others. By nature, governments are reactive and seldom proactive.

Personally I am not a fan of Trump, but I don't hate the man. I think he dismissed the seriousness of COVID-19 at first; but again, many leaders did.

Did Trump just ignore the intelligence for two months (January AND February)?

"The system was blinking red," a US official told The Post. "Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn't get him to do anything about it."

Agreed! It is much easier to criticize than do. There is an expression we had in the military, "Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!"

Every one messed up with this, but when your intelligence briefings are giving you warnings, you listen. Unless you're convinced they're the "deep state".

I know hindsight really well...lord, do I know.

My dad was a WWII Merchant Marine and he used to say that too.

Not necessarily. We can surmise and guess all day and will never know what really happened, but it could have been as simple as them giving him warning #312 of the day. There are a lot of warnings about a lot of things. Some serious, some blown out of proportion for one reason or another. Point is, let's just go from here. Learn from the mistakes and go.

Would you agree to shutting the country down now so we can stop the spread? Once upon a time, in a far away time, intelligence briefings warned that some were plotting to target planes. Should that PDB have been heeded?

I can't imagine running a billion dollar a year hotel business and not trusting or listening to the people you employ to help run it.
