THREAD: What I am about to show you are cold facts. They are not opinion. This is all data compiled from reputable sources including:
- CDC
- WHO
- NY Times
- Washington Post
- Associated Press
- Fact Check Organizations

So who knew WHAT, and WHEN, regarding COVID? (1/xx?)
Let’s begin. The Wuhan Coronavirus starts... to the best we can find publicly, it is first reported at the end of December 2019.

The CDC becomes alerted right before New Years Eve of something going wrong. Congress, is busy Impeaching Trump.
January 3rd, 2020... is the earliest confirmed date that any information makes its way up through the highest levels of Trump’s administration.
On all of these charts, there is a DATE, and a USA DAY #. The “DAY #” is the clock for when the Trump Administration and the @POTUS knew of the coronavirus.

The WHO and China downplay this virus throughout until they can’t anymore.

By USA Day 4, the CDC issues official alert
Now, the news and Dems CONSTANTLY say that the Trump response was SLOW.

We know as FACT, that by Day 4, the CDC was already actively engaged, as was HHS, and trying to get info and investigators INTO China!
On DAY 6, an OFFICIAL HEALTH ALERT is issued by the CDC to ALL US HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS to warn them of a novel coronavirus threat!

This alert goes to every STATE as well. Mind you, China and WHO are saying “Meh, no big deal”
Mind you, we are approximately two weeks in, and the only news outlet that mentions it, is the Wall Street Journal...

And the WHO is busy selling the no person-to-person transmission story.
By the DAY 12 point, the Trump Administration is now already thinking of invoking the DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT! Mind you, this is weeks before Biden pretends to know anything about COVID.

By DAY 15, the CDC begins monitoring airports (ports of entry) for ill passengers.
On DAY 16, HHS Secretary Azar calls President Trump directly, and briefs him on the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak.

In Congress, the Democrats are busy hyping up the Impeachment Hoax and capturing all media attention as they have for the last several weeks.
In addition, by Day 18, the NY Times writes it's first article about person to person spread, but the WHO is still selling a watered down version of the coronavirus' risks to the general public.
By DAY 19, the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION / CDC ISSUED ENTRY HEALTH SCREENINGS AT TWO ADDITIONAL AIRPORTS... CDC RAISES TRAVEL HEALTH ADVISORY TO CHINA TO LEVEL 2

CDC is concerned there is person-to-person spread regardless of WHO / China statements saying otherwise.
COVID is spreading country to country by DAY 21.
CHINA places the entire city of Wuhan on lockdown.
WHO is not able to ignore person-to-person spread by 1/23/2020.

By DAY 21, Dr Fauci from NIAID (before Fauci becomes media famous) says Moderna and others are looking at vaccines.
BY DAY 22, (3 weeks + 1 day), THE CDC / Trump Administration issue HIGHEST TRAVEL WARNING for China!

Trump Administration tries to inform the Senate; only 14 Senators attend briefing!

HHS ACTIVATES SECRETARY OPERATIONS CENTER
Suddenly, by DAY 24, Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urges Trump Administration to declare a Public Health Emergency.

HHS and CDC are already operating on a critical emergency status.
On DAY 25, the CDC EXTENDS TRAVEL WARNING TO ALL OF CHINA.

White House National Security Council holds meeting on outbreak.

DAY 29 IS WHERE THE GAME CHANGES:

- PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY DECLARED IN US

Meanwhile, Joe Biden says Trump isn't acting "rationally" to virus threat. "No time for hysteria / xenophobia / fear"
DAY 32: World Health Organization (WHO) is highly annoyed at Trump China Travel Ban. WHO has been praising China routinely and copiously in daily press briefings.
