In less than a week, the Trump administration has greatly expanded the actions it's taken to fight the coronavirus and boost the economy, according to its latest tally of “response efforts.”

Last week, when Secrets first ran the list, it totaled 43. By Monday, it was at 74, with many more planned this week as the White House effort shifts to focus more on the economy and treatment of those infected.

While he continues to receive fire from some governors who want more, President Trump said he hopes for a win in the battle soon.

“For those worried and afraid, please know: As long as I am your president, you can feel confident that you have a leader who will always fight for you, and I will not stop until we win. This will be a great victory,” he said Sunday, adding, “This is going to be a victory. And it's going to be a victory that, in my opinion, will happen much sooner than originally expected.”

The reaction from the People’s Republic of China and the American left was immediate: harsh criticism that President Donald Trump was overreacting and that his actions to protect the American public were racist.

The irony is that today, largely left-leaning parts of the nation were the first to impose stark “shelter-in-place” orders that likely can’t be sustained on a restive public inclined to ignore government orders and eager to return to work. ...

The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Feb. 3, “There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel.”

She went on to say the U.S. travel restrictions “could only create and spread fear [setting] a very bad example,” noting, “Even American media and experts doubted the government’s decision,” which also “violat[ed] civil rights” of travelers.

That opens the specter that the Chinese Communist Party — having already absorbed the damage from Trump’s tariffs and trade negotiations, followed by further supply chain disruption caused by the virus and efforts to battle it — figured it might as well visit the Wuhan-originated plague on the rest of the world.  ...
