        • The Trump administration received its first formal notification of the outbreak of the coronavirus in China on Jan. 3. Within days, U.S. spy agencies were signaling the seriousness of the threat to Trump by including a warning about the coronavirus — the first of many — in the President’s Daily Brief.

          And yet, it took 70 days from that initial notification for Trump to treat the coronavirus not as a distant threat or harmless flu strain well under control, but as a lethal force that had outflanked America’s defenses and was poised to kill tens of thousands of citizens. That more-than-two-month stretch now stands as critical time that was squandered.

              "Y'all" would love for Trump to order a national shut down and martial law. You'd pull your pants down begging for Trump to violate you, then cry the whole time about Trump being a rapist.

                    So much for Carp’s claim that it will be the right to turn on Fauci. Looks like it’s the left.

                      That depends on where you live. I don't think I could support my family on $50k a year here, and I live in the least developed area near DC. I don't make a whole lot more than that, and my mortgage is essentially half my monthly paycheck.

                        A national shutdown, yes. Martial law, no.

                        For the rest of your post - you really should keep your fantasies to yourself. I'm not sure they are appropriate for a Christian forum.

                            Oh we have already heard the attacks from the right. Why do you think he's got more security?

                              I live quite comfortably at $30K/yr. Of course I'm not that into possessions, not needing this or that latest gadget or "must have" item of the year. Of course my place is paid off and I own my car as well which makes a big difference.

                              I'm always still in trouble again
