So you mean to tell me that Democrat mayors and governors aren't intellectually capable of making their own decisions (based on evidence widely available in the public domain) without prodding from Trump?
Actually, you might have a point there...
The evidence that conservatives (even from their own puppet news networks) were taking this less seriously for the last several weeks is pretty irrefutable and ubiquitous. Collectively this was an obvious nationwide trend, despite the tons of variation in opinion across individual parties and many democrats initially adopting a laissez-faire policy as well...
Even 2-3 weeks later when the issue became increasingly too large to ignore, we were spoon-fed a bunch of happy talk and outright lies largely by the Trump admin and conservative talking heads & their constituency to prevent widespread "panic". Instead we still got panic which coupled to leaving many Americans complacent and the US was woefully unprepared, & now we're paying the price for our incompetence (shocking I know).
