The point is, you can't do the tracking and quarantine, when you don't have enough tests.
So lack of tests == sillent (since people are infectious through casual contact via aerosolization of the virus, even before symptoms) community spread --> two or three weeks later, OMG it's out of control, DRUMP's FAULT!
There are other FR threads showing Trump had to overrule the health "experts" to forbid US-flag flights from China. The index case in the nursing home in Washington State, was a 35-year old who had just visited Wuhan.
This was meant to be a "take out the US" epidemic; I don't know whether the Dems openly colluded with China yet, but they certainly springboarded to what China would have wanted, very quickly.
The virus was bioengineered. By China. Whether based on work they originally did here, or just the base vector stolen from here/Canada and then developed in Wuhan, I don't yet know.
But I think Trump has done just enough to prevent China's and the Dems plans for him and the US, from coming to fruition...provided we continue strong voluntary quarantine.
I’m glad you think I’m thinking, I am trying to.
See, my take is that the US could NEVER do tracking and quarantine like SK did, so the testing didn’t matter.
I also think that the virus was already spread and incubating here, while the Chinese sat on all of this. So, again testing now is worthless for national control, and only helps the actually infected.
FWW my take on the “bioengineering” of this, at this point, is that this disease is a SARS-MERS new combination created by Chinese traveling back and forth between Italy and China. The disease was probably recognized in people early last year and isolated and purified in that lab in Wuhan. It could have been selectively bread for virulence.
China is crazed and desperate. Too much bad blood from Mao. They should have seen Trump as a setback to their plans and decided to lay low for 8 years, but I think that Satan has commanded that they “Dance!” and so they are. Whatever the reason, they are certainly trying to take the US, as you say, or at least Trump out with this virus, now.
