Sec Def "can't recall" if he was briefed on COVID in November. I call bullshit.

They knew this was coming in November. NOVEMBER. The magnitude of the utter failure of the federal government to react to this is astronomical. And still almost half the country approves of that murderer infesting the White House. Words fail me.

Shredders in WH are fast! And the shreds go right to an incinerator!

3. Everyone of these liars failed to protect US citizens. They should be tried and found guilty of

avoiding their duties to this country.

4. That would take some nifty intelligence on the ground.

Just happening to spot an uptick in respiratory cases in a particular part of China.

The first cases acknowledged by China were in December, and the first reports (on social media) were squelched and those making the posts rebuked or otherwise punished.

Given the timeline from infection to hospitalization, the assumption is it was circulating in November. I don't recall seeing anybody pointing to specific cases, but I didn't catch when the first guy, a meat vendor from the wet "seafood" market (a nice euphemism, since it sold all sorts of "landfood&quot , was diagnosed.
