What a biased, amaterish article! Let's review a few things you seem to willfully forget

It was the WHO who reassured our CDC and in thurn the CDC then the president about the corona virus in mid January (see the WHO Jan 14 tweet saying that it wasn't transmitting human to human if you don't believe me). The WHO had been lied to by China and provided with false data which they took as fact.
DESPITE THIS, as signals rolled in of China expelling foreign reporters and continued conflicting reports came out of China, Trump elected to halt all travel to our largest trading country - this despite the media calling him a racist, and this despite the fact that it would hit his economy in an election year. To this day, it is the single biggest move to "flatten the curve" that has been done by anyon in the world to date.

Now, let's look at your article. Specifically this gem of a quote of what passes for journalism these days:
"Last week, the Washington Post reported on the steady drumbeat of coronavirus warnings that the intelligence community presented to the White House in January and February. These alerts made little impact upon senior administration officials, who were undoubtedly influenced by President Donald Trump’s constant derision of the virus, which he began on Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control." ".

a) Her source of information is the hyper partisan WaPo
b) Her claim that the alerts coming in made little impact on senior officials is clearly false since they did carry out the most drastic option available which was to shut down all travel to China, despite the WHO health experts still not calling it a crisis
c) Her statement that Trump senior staff "was undoubtedly influenced by President Donald Trump's constant derision of the virus" is a fucking assumption made by a clearly biased, and unprofessional journalist. yet you take this as fact.
Tell me how she can know what was influencing them, and tell me how she supports her claims about trump who still acted more strongly than she or the rest of the media thought was appropriate at the time?

Now, since we are talking about intellegince failures, when has the intelligence department done something right? They missed 9/11, WMD's,Soviet collapse,
Bay of Pigs, Rosenbergs, Iranian Revolution, Soviets into Afghanistan, etc., etc.. A department littered with so many failures who also spied on their political opponent yet failed there too, ultimately.
