There's plenty of blame to go around and Our President did not follow up properly on his ban of travellers from Communist China.
It's clear, though, that boutique multiculturalism and woke virtue-signalling served as vectors for contagion, and not of a good kind. "Last month you told New Yorkers to go party it up in Chinatown and insinuated that anyone who stayed home to avoid infection was racist."
The mayor of New York City was still suggesting that his constituents go east side, west side, all around the town early in March. Yes, it was still business as usual in DeKalb, although Illinois officials clearly were already considering measures to shut down normal life.
New York's mayor, not so much.
"Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions," de Blasio tweeted on March 2. "Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see The Traitor [at Lincoln Center]. If The Wire was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film."First work the problem, then have the inquiries. But let the record show that the political class are not covering themselves with glory here.
