Five-Alarm Fire

Last week, The Bulwark published a terrific detailed article (link here) that presents a thorough timeline of how Donald Trump sat idly by during the first two months of the coronavirus scare.

Trump has more recently been trying to hide this history by, big surprise, lying and obfuscating the early days. This must not be allowed to happen.

The early days are the most critical when fighting an epidemic or pandemic. Here's an easy analogy: you discover your house on fire. Do you call 911 immediately or do you wait a few hours?

The answer is obvious. In Trump's case, he waited the metaphorical equivalent of three hours. Or maybe even longer.
