No, I'm simply stating facts, mistakes were made.I realize your purpose in whining about what happened two years ago is to deflect attention from the wreck in the Oval Office. Frankly, you just look goofy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in San Francisco on Monday spending several hours visiting Chinatown to encourage people to visit the shops and restaurants there amid fears of the coronavirus.
Business in Chinatown has really slowed down over the last month, mainly due to concerns about the coronavirus.
Pelosi did a walking tour of the area starting in the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Shop.
She also visited several other businesses and talked to people.
Neighbors, including the owner of the cookie shop, who says the last month has been difficult.
“Business is slow. People don’t want to come, they are scared,” Kevin Chan said.
Pelosi also took this opportunity to encourage people to come back to Chinatown.
“You should come to Chinatown. Precautions have been taken by our city. We know there is concern about tourism throughout the world but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hopefully, others will come,” Pelosi said.

On Sunday, CNN's Jake Tapper put New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on blast for telling New Yorkers not to worry about the Wuhan coronavirus. Tapper played four separate clips of de Blasio encouraging New Yorkers to go about their daily lives, even as recently as March 13th, less than two weeks ago.
"In retrospect, is that message, at least in part, to blame for how rapidly the virus has spread across the city?" Tapper asked.
De Blasio instantly deflected.
"You know, Jake, we should not be focusing, in my view, on anything looking back, on any level of government right now," the mayor explained. "This is just about how we save lives going forward. We are all working – everybody – is working with the information we had and trying, of course, to avoid panic.

WHO haunted by January tweet saying China found no human transmission of coronavirus
The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet.
The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.
"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China," the organization had said.
It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak.

We can't be better prepared for the next pandemic if we're not willing to be honest about what was done right, and what was done wrong to counter this one.
We can't afford to destroy our own economy every time someone catches a bad cold in Asia in the future, nor can we fail to react properly when the next serious epidemic emerges there.
China lie, the WHO lied, as I've sated repeatedly they purposely let this get out of hand but that doesn't change the fact we made mistakes in handling it.
Trump isn't perfect, he's not the 2nd Coming of Christ, nor the right hand of God and all men are flawed and all men make mistakes.
