you seem to be regurgitating a lot of popular talking points, especially this one: >The Trump administration knew about this in January, denied it’d be a problem.. you do realize that China did a surprise shutdown of the country only during the Chinese New Year holiday break, right? I have a team in China and they're in a province next to Wuhan. They were all stunned by the lockdown during their week off, during the last week of January [1] These were also the points of view at the time: >The WHO is not recommending any international restrictions on trade or travel, but does recommend exit screenings at airports. [2] It's not precedented to shutdown the US nor other parts of the world, especially when the WHO, as noted in the quote above, was telling the world everything was okay. Clearly, the virus and cause was not also well understood at the time, or some false information was being shared by the WHO. (check the dates of the links) Your talking points are disconnected from reality, but you've got a bulleted list of things, so nothing will stop you from your mission. You've also ignored how the liability of opening up a state is being pushed off to state govenors and local officials, as there's no one size fits all opening strategy... that, clearly, doesn't help with the political narrative you're trying to push though.
