    Before or after Trump finally took action?

    Hmmm, and exactly when was that...and please don't cherry pick because I can too.

    Using your logic, the very first state that reported a case they "should have dropped a blanket over" that state.

    On or around March 15th. When the cases spiked.

    EDIT: This is just for NYC though. But whenever that trend started with the spike in cases.

    Trump?

    Can Trump authorize such an action? I don't know the process here to enforce martial law within a city or state.

    I do know some states faced lawsuits when threatened with merely identifying drivers from New York visiting.

    Please, that has to be one of the worst dodges ever. Was Trump late in taking action or not?...of course he was, so again, my question to you is when should he have taken serious action instead of being in denial?

    Its not a dodge, its a serious response to your question. In relation to New York/New Jersey, I'm not sure he had any authority to take the steps necessary to stop the outbreak without blowback from the local government.

    You're talking about the whole coronavirus issue at hand, on the nationwide scale, which we beat to death already. Its a huge waste of fucking time.

    Facts are coming in that 36% of the cases are concentrated in two states. Those regions are responsible for the spread across the United States, according to new data released today by the New York Times.


    I'm tackling a certain, focused area of the United States.

    100% This. The President cannot force City or States to shut down or open.

    But, pointing out facts is dodging....

    not just dodging... the biggest dodge ever.....


    https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/states-largely-have-authority-over-when-to-shut-down-reopen


    Again.. Even if he DID have the power, why wouldn't we want shutdowns enforced based on regional issues? The needs of NY are not the same as the needs of ND....


    The whole argument some are posing is just ridiculous first and not legal second.....
