What's crawling around in your girlie knickers?
Read the posts and you'll see splattered around is discussion on people not shutting down in time, making bad decisions,% of people who will die or survive according to lock down length etc.
My point is simply aimed at these posts that seem to think the virus miraculously was born on 31/12/2019 which denotes how fast or slow decisions ar made to lock down. The virus was out and round the entire world before Xmas.
The rest is is just buggery
Once again Trump got it right but should have stuck to his guns and kept USA open.

I don't think anyone has said it started on 31/12. Again though, it really is a moot point in what you are trying to argue. If anything, it makes your case much weaker because if it was known the virus was out before, then there was more time to act, and yet they still failed.
I don't buy that it was only known about late because in Australia, we were discussing it in October/November and we had no cases at all. Trump also said at the time that he is in close comms with China and he trusts the information he was getting.
But back to your point about Trump getting it right, I mean sure...1.3 million confirmed, 97k plus dead. If we are throwing out all logic and fact (which I guess you are), then sure, he got it right.
