He didnt ignore it. He set up a task force to deal with it.

Yeah right.

They went to start the fireside chat but Joe was sleeping.
The twitter link at the link provided is pretty annoying. Apparently Team Biden cut this out.

He absolutely ignored it in the beginning.

I don't have your made up tds. Our country is panicking right now and need guidance. Trump has done nothing to relief our fears because he's incapable. Biden shows true compassion which we really need right now.

No one I know is in panic.

You dont need someone compassionate patting your head.

You need to safely buy groceries and hunker down.

I don't see masses of people panicking. Most of my friends think this is way over the top and unnecessary. I don't know of anyone personally who is panicking, except some seniors who've had their retirements accounts ravaged. My father is very depressed by what has happened to many of his friends, and possibly himself. I worry about these people and what is going to happen to them financially. They've worked all their lives for their retirement, and to watch it crash so fast, over something so hyped up by the media is almost certainly gut wrenching.

If there are people panicking about the virus, than maybe Trump should go back to telling you this is nothing to worry about and everything will be fine in time, but you didn't like that either. Many folks like you said he was being irresponsible for not freaking people out.

If you think the masses are panicking, it's probably because you've handed your brain and critical thinking skills over to that idiot box that is pumping lame stream media propaganda in your head.

Despite the claims, the administration has been very "hands on" regarding this.

TIMELINE: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S DECISIVE ACTIONS TO COMBAT THE CORONAVIRUS

Key events:

• Jan. 7: The CDC established a coronavirus incident management system to better share and respond to information about the virus.

• Jan. 17: The CDC began implementing public health entry screening at the three U.S. airports that received the most travelers from Wuhan — San Francisco, New York JFK, and Los Angeles.

• Jan. 20: Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Health’s infectious disease institute, announced efforts to develop a vaccine.

• Jan. 21: The CDC activated its emergency operations center to provide support to the coronavirus response.

• Jan. 31: Mr. Trump declared a public health emergency, announced Chinese travel restrictions, and suspended entry into the U.S. for foreign nationals at risk of transmitting the virus.

• Feb. 4: Mr. Trump vowed in his State of the Union address to “take all necessary steps” to protect Americans from the coronavirus.

• Feb. 11: The Department of Health and Human Services expanded a partnership with Janssen Research & Development to “expedite the development” of a coronavirus vaccine.

• Feb. 24: The administration sent a letter to Congress requesting at least $2.5 billion to help combat the spread of the coronavirus.

• Feb. 29: The administration announced a level 4 travel advisory to areas of Italy and South Korea, barred all travel to Iran, and barred the entry of foreign citizens who visited Iran in the last 14 days.

• March 3: The CDC lifted federal restrictions on coronavirus testing to allow any American to be tested “subject to doctor’s orders.”

• March 13: Mr. Trump announced public-private partnerships to open drive-through testing sites, a pause on interest payments on federal student loans, and an order to the Department of Energy to purchase oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

• March 18: Mr. Trump announced a temporary closure of the U.S.-Canada border to non-essential traffic and plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to increase the number of necessary supplies needed to combat coronavirus.
