All the people — I’m not making this up. Just look at the data. Look at the data.” Actually, Biden is making this up. There is no data to support this, even if the president had moved rapidly in January to deal with the coronavirus and been able to persuade the Chinese leadership to be more forthcoming about the situation. “When, back in January, I wrote an article for USA Today saying, ‘We’ve got a pandemic. We’ve got a real problem.’” Biden overstates what he said in January; he did not flatly say it was a pandemic. There are a few more in the article, but you get the gist.
Once the virus was detected in China, it was too late. It was on every continent, thanks to air travel. Everyone needs to understand that.
