My feeling is this:  If Trump had come out right away and told the American people that a deadly virus was going to spread all over the country, that many people would die, that they didn't know if they could control it and that there was no cure for it, the population would have panicked even more than they did.   Although I fault him for not wearing a mask, not social distancing and calling the whole thing a hoax, I think he made the right decision in the beginning.  He shut off flights from China, even though democrats called him a racist and xenophobic and appointed Pence to run the government response.  Could it have been better? Yes, but it could also have been a hell of a lot worse.  This is just another situation that is easy to arm chair quarter back about what the Democrats would have done, but the truth is, they would not have handled it any better.

The Atlantic story just makes no sense.  And if that happened, although the people that were there denied it happened, why did these "unnamed sources" wait until weeks before the election to make it known?
