Because Republicans don't like competent leaders who know what they're doing.

They seem to think deer-in-the-headlights is the way to go.

TDS needs to take serious timeout. They don’t are about any virus nearly as much as they care about Trump. How low can they go?

serious ? - at what point should DeBlasio and Cuomo have really taken these measures? March 9th? Before?

What we have known for a long time:

More contagious
Worse outcomes
Spread by prolonged close contact

Where would we find a greater chance of "prolonged close contact" than in the heavily-populated urban centers of the country?

So I’m guessing you blame him for the idiot Dems in Los Angeles/ California who allowed the LA marathon to take place with participants from all over the world. Each state has a Governor for a reason, tell them to start governing.

False. Governor Newsom said 50% of California would get virus in worse case scenario if they did nothing to slow it down.

I’m more proud than ever to live in the Bay Area and California, being the first to implement a shelter-in-place order. It tells me we have very smart and bright people in charge here. Makes me feel and my family feel more safe and secure and confident in our leadership here.

If the time to act is NOW, why are Democrats refusing to pass a coronavirus stimulus package that would help mitigate the effects of the hysteria they wanted and created?

So your solution is for people to stay in their homes except for trips to the grocery store? Why can't you just admit that this is exactly what people are doing, and have been doing for a week now?

Trump was wrong to say thee WHO test was a "bad test".

But they (WHO) never offered, the tests that WHO makes are generally for countries without the ability to create them. Read the whole link.

Biden is right that the U.S. wanted to make its own test, but he leaves out important context — including the fact that many countries with the scientific capability designed their own tests, and that the WHO test kits are largely meant for less wealthy countries with weaker health systems. And he’s wrong that the U.S. ever “refused” a test from the WHO.

Fact: the people who have been saying we got nothing to worry about is the right-wing pundits. Including Trump and Fox News. They compare it to the flu and say the flu kills more people than this coronavirus.

Don't believe Fox News: Coronavirus is much more dangerous than the flu

.
you speak in the current tense - "this is what they're saying now" - when discussing something from March 6th.

is intellectual honesty just too much to ask?
