quiet here?
Not anymore
To be honest, why didn't Trump declare national emergency back in January when the Corona virus was announced?
Welp, all I have to say is natural selection.
2020 has been going kid of badly. First, Australia was on fire and now the Corona virus is here.
Probably because back in January the only cases of coronavirus in the U.S. were the roughly 15 people who were repatriated and quarantined.
South Korea declared this Corona situation an emergency almost two months ago, why did he think we're different?
Not to mention the states declared Corona an emergency before he even declared national emergency.
That's just probably the reason as to why it had not been issued in late January. Remember that the U.S. is more decentralized than other countries, which means that states could have better prepared themselves for the coronavirus without making a national emergency and drastic federal gov action necessary (what with the U.S. being a federal system and all). Of course, this could have worked had states like New York, California, and Washington actually prepared instead of do basically nothing and if the CDC didn't reject WHO test kits in favor of their own faulty ones. Slip ups in the initial quarantining of the repatriated also helped nothing, that being the accidental release of some of them as well as the flight that was allowed back from Wuhan without against the presidents orders.
On top of this, you had media and democrats obfuscating the virus and the threat it posed (Trump had not addressed the pandemic much in late January, though he did issue a level 4 travel restriction for China), which harmed public perception of the pandemic. It is true though that some states declared an emergency before the federal government, and I also believe that the president should have declared a national emergency earlier (asymptomatic cases could have spread all around the country even then, and probably did).

They didn't.
The CDC was not offered test kits by WHO, nor were they obviously rejected. Since the US always develops it's own test kits, no eyebrows were raised obviously.
However Obama era red tape stopping private sector from testing and developing their own kits caused issues when the CDC kits were faulty - Trump repealed this and ever since testing has rapidly increased.
I don't blame Trump for testing much, especially when he rectified it.
@Citizen Trump declared it on 15th Feb, it's easy to say with hindsight, - but it was on the advice of his public health officials (he created the task force in Jan btw).
Wrong tag
Right, @Butternuggetz ^
guys
I don't exactly understand what you are trying to tell us with that video
@Festive Spaghetti How much of it did you watch?
Interesting, thanks for correcting me on the test kit situation.
Didn't realize our independent creation of test kits was the norm
