What's this?

All evidence points to the fact that wasn't enough, or are you saying

we are prepared and this couldn't be going any better? By all appearances he banned flights (only from China) and though that was all that was required. He didn't prepare for the eventuality of it getting here. Didn't find out who could make PPE if we needed it. Didn't start stock-piling or figuring out logistics for allocating scarce resources. It certainly looks as though none of that happened till the bug was already here.

He himself said there were only 15 cases and they were going to go to zero. He didn't think he had to do any of the hard work. Everything he has done (other than his knee jerk xenophobic actions) were too late.

This would have been a disaster under any president, but there is just so much evidence that this one didn't even attempt to follow procedures that were already established and based upon lessons learned in previous epidemics. His know-it-all, roll imy own, attitude will likely cost people their lives.
