1/ Two autopsies in CA reveal that COVID-19 was in the U.S. long before first thought. Those deaths were on Feb 6th and Feb 17th, respectively, when the first death had been thought to be in WA on Feb 26th. This also means that the virus had been spread'g https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/autopsies-find-first-us-coronavirus-death-occurred-in-early-february-weeks-earlier-than-previously-thought/ar-BB131mhb
2/ since a much earlier date than first thought. We knew already that the first confirmed case was supposedly on Jan 20th -- who'd already been in the country 5 days before -- but this latest discovery would put the first case as early as late December 2019. Did Trump know this?
3/ He was being updated every day by the WHO & no doubt by the CDC, which would've known had Trump not closed the dept that was created in 2016 in May 2018 & not significantly cut fund'g to it even earlier, which required the number of countries it kept apprised of to only 5, &
4/ China was not one of them! This also means that there were a whole lot more asymptomatic carriers among large groups of people for a significant longer period than we actually can know. One scientist explained that one carrier can expand to three, and if one of them does not
5/ stay at home, it would spread to 3,000 cases in only 6 weeks. However, if just 1 of them DOES stay at home, quarantined, that number drops to only 100. Trump's limitations (not "ban") on travel from China on Jan 31st, the day after the WHO announced a global health emergency,
6/ and 8 days after China, itself, locked down Wuhan and Hubei on Jan 23rd, was far too late. The virus had already been spread'g for at least 9 weeks or more by that time, given this latest discovery, and that was just too late for control. Even the later https://www.breitbart.com/border/2020/01/22/china-locks-down-11-million-in-wuhan-home-of-deadly-virus/
7/ date was, consider'g the rate at which it spreads. China had announced human-to-human spread on Jan 30th, too, the same date the WHO announced a global health emergency. The biggest problem in the U.S. has been, & still is, the lack of test'g at all for over 7-1/2 weeks after
8/ the first case was originally announced -- but at least 10 weeks as we know now -- & lack of tests available to do the tests nationwide, respectively. It's now been confirmed this morning that only 4,155,178 tests have been done & 3,355,461 tested negative. That leaves 799,717
9/ people who tested positive. That's 24% of the population testing positive and only 1.26% of the population tested -- the population known rather than the population that the Census now estimates it will be after the numbers are counted. With that number, only 1.25% have been
10/ tested, as that number adds another 602,789 people. It's said we should be testing 500K people per day, yet we average only about 150K per day, with only one day having a much higher number. You'll recall that two weeks in a row, Trump said 1M tests available then, another 4M
11/ would be available the next week, and then 5M would be available every week thereafter. With only six weeks used as the time period, that would mean that 25M tests should've been available, which, when divided by 50, WOULD be 500K tests per week, but we know that states have
12/ been extremely desperate to get tests, because the number shown tested averages out to only 83.1K per state. That's 416.9K fewer tests than promised. So when Trump says that we've now tested more people "than all the countries together," which he DID say yesterday, you know
13/ he's ly'g, that he has no clue as to how many people those other 184 countries add up to, and, WORST of all, that he couldn't care less about the number of cases we have in this country OR keep'g his promise about the number of tests that would be readily available. All lies.
