Remembering the Timeline

In case the news people ever get you confused, just remember:

- The House Impeachment articles were passed on 18 December 2019.

- The articles were not taken to the Senate until 16 January 2020.

- The Senate got procedural rules on 20 January 2020.

- The opening of the Impeachment hearing started on 22 January 2020.

- The Q and A session in the Senate started on 28 January 2020.

- On 5 February 2020, the hearing was concluded, and the charges 'dumped'.

You might have various news journalists attempt to confuse you.....so just remember the timeline.  But let's remember the virus timelines here:

- It's on 31 December that China says there's a serious virus at work in Wuhan.....to the WHO.

-  On 3 January, the CDC boss reacted and sent a email to the Chinese CDC operation....offering help.

- On 6 January, the CDC (not the WHO) ordered up a Wuhan travel notice.

- On 7 January, the CDC opened a incident system to share and respond on data.

- On the 11th of January....the CD issued a Level I travel warning on Wuhan.

- On 17 January, the CDC started having public screening at US airports that had travelers from Wuhan arriving (3 airports nationally).

- On the 20th of January, Doctor 'Doom' announced a NIH effort was underway for a vaccine.  This is 3 weeks from the day that China admitted there was a problem.

- On 23 January, the CDC asked for a “special emergency authorization” via the FDA.  This was to ensure states could use the new test for the virus.

- On 27 January, President Trump sent an offer to the Chinese President.....asking if they needed help.

- On 27 January, the CDC issued a major warning to all Americans to avoid all nonessential travel to China due to the virus.

- On 27 January, a White House Coronavirus Task Force started up.

- On 31 January, the White House declared a public health emergency.  With this came a complete China travel restriction and suspended entry into the United States for foreign nationals who pose a risk of the virus.  With that came a halt to all flights from China into the US, with only seven airports allowed to conduct some type of travel arrangement.

- 6 February, the CDC-tests were shipped out across the nation.

- 12 February, thirty countries got the US kits.

- On 11 March 2020, the WHO declared a Pandemic.  One can argue that evidence existed in early February for this declaration.  But it really didn't matter.

If you receive any suggestion to the otherwise, it's fake news.
