He didn't immediately impose travel restrictions, or undertake any of the other actions
That's right, Tramp didn't impose travel restrictions immediately, he waited more than a month because he believed it to be a hoax. Coronavirus was first reported in Dec 2019 and Tramp did not restrict travel from china until Jan 31, 2020
A month after it was reported to WHO as pnuemonia you mean. They didn't know what it was then.
I could stop there as your statement has been proven false right there
Lies all lies. It was ID'ed as a previously unknown betacoronavirus in Dec 2019.

Summary
In December 2019, a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was linked to a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China. A previously unknown betacoronavirus was discovered through the use of unbiased sequencing in samples from patients with pneumonia. Human airway epithelial cells were used to isolate a novel coronavirus, named 2019-nCoV, which formed a clade within the subgenus sarbecovirus, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily. Different from both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, 2019-nCoV is the seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that infect humans. Enhanced surveillance and further investigation are ongoing. (Funded by the National Key Research and Development Program of China and the National Major Project for Control and Prevention of Infectious Disease in China.)
I love how you declare a list of nothing but verifiable facts lies, then proceed to verify one of them with your own source.
LoL.
"In December 2019, a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was linked to a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China".
Like a typical lying scum CON$ervoFascist you left out the very next sentence that exposes your lie that they did not know it was a coronavirus.
The sentence you dishonestly left out:
"A previously unknown
betacoronavirus was discovered through the use of unbiased sequencing in samples from patients with pneumonia."
It was known to be a coronavirus variant in Dec 2019.[/QUOTE]
Maybe math is your problem, not reading. I dunno, but do try and follow the bouncing ball here, m'kay.
My post says nearly the same thing as yours, and yet you maintain yours disproves mine.
Lol. that's absurd enough, but there's more and since you are apparently a glutton for punishment I will be happy to keep delivering for you.
So, here's more for you, and the second fact proves you are a liar. again.
1. December 31, 2019 - Cases of pneumonia detected in Wuhan, China, are first reported to the WHO.
During this reported period, the virus is unknown. The cases occur between December 12 and December 29, according to Wuhan Municipal Health.
Got that, sparky? it wasn't even reported to WHO until the very last day of December and they didn't know what it was, which is exactly what I said.
Not even your own source says this was identified in December, duh. There's that reading comprehension problem again. not understanding that, you cited a portion of your source claiming it proved your point and that I was a liar for nor including it.
wrong on both counts. of course.
Onward.
2. January 5, 2020 - China announces that the unknown pneumonia cases in Wuhan are not SARS or MERS. In a statement, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission says a retrospective probe into the outbreak has been initiated.
January 7, 2020 - Chinese authorities confirm that they have identified the virus as a novel coronavirus, initially named 2019-nCoV by the WHO.
Get that. ^^^^, liar? see the date? can you read that AND understand the difference in the organization of those letters and what they mean? lol.
You are proven wrong, conclusively. My timeline is on the screws, probably because I looked into it before opening my yapper and spouting bullshit, which is something you should try.
And, again, I note you address none of the rest, of course, because of your intellectual dishonesty, which is now cemented firmly into place, and because you are attempting to parse your way out of a dilemma of your own creation. you can't because the facts are clear and documented, so good luck with that. all of your flailing and railing won't change one iota of it.
And again, because you are hard of learning:
ONE DAY after the WHO reversed itself and declared this an international issue these travel restrictions were imposed.
Parse that.
