Wasn't it the health experts who were feeding the numbers to Trump?
Aside from the NIH and CDC it turns out that Navarro and others were attempting to notify Trump of the economic and human cost of the pandemic on Jan 29. Meanwhile he constantly downplayed the seriousness of the virus ignoring all the warning signs, many of his supporters including governors followed his lead, some have yet to come aboard.
I thank God for Dr. Fauci, he single-handedly has saved America.
Fauci was literally the first person we heard the term "social distancing" from during this pandemic, and it appears to be working hear in America.
Donald Trump was the idiot who wanted churches to reopen on Easter Sunday, which is five days from now. We are approaching 1,000 deaths a day now in the US, and Trump wanted to reopen the USA in five days. Moron.
Thank you, Dr. Fauci. He's been with NIH for 37 years, a career government public health official. He's the expert and he's the one who helped save American lives.
"Social distancing" started with Fauci.
not surprised you feel that way, now lets get to the truth.....and ID the real morons...
Today Anthony Fauci is held up by the media as a national hero of the pandemic response and the only reason to listen to a White House coronavirus briefing. Yet, rewind the clock back to January and his public statements essentially mirrored those of the administration.
On Jan. 21, he emphasized that it was unclear whether the virus could spread from person to person: “Is it a continual spread? Is it sustained? We're not quite sure yet.” A University of Minnesota expert offered that “this is one of those inflection moments in outbreak history where we have enough information to be very concerned, but not enough information to say this is going to be an international crisis.”
In a Jan. 23 Journal of the American Medical Association podcast, Dr. Fauci repeatedly downplayed the virus’ potential impact on the U.S., noting that all five cases here were travelers from China. He also noted that due to limited testing in China, the number of infections was likely much higher than official counts, meaning that the death rate of the virus was likely much lower than feared.
Asked whether the U.S. might contemplate city-wide shutdowns like those China was enacting at the time, Fauci replied, “There's no chance in the world that we could do that to Chicago or to New York or to San Francisco, but they're doing it. So, let's see what happens.”
Most importantly, he added that it was still quite possible the Chinese could get control of the outbreak and prevent it from becoming a global issue, and that even if there were more cases in the U.S., “the CDC, as usual, is on top of things.”
A day later, Dr. David Heymann, the former head of WHO’s response to SARS, offered that, unlike SARS, the coronavirus “looks like it doesn’t transmit through the air very easily and probably transmits through close contact,” in contrast with recent guidance that it can spread simply through breathing.
The same day, Fauci emphasized that other coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS could not sustain person-to-person spread like the flu and that such viruses “maybe never will.” For its part, WHO noted that no person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 had been reported outside of China and that all of the deaths had been limited to that country.
Fauci also took care to praise the Chinese government for “being quite transparent” and said he was “impressed” with officials’ cooperation.
Many models had assumed 1.5-2 million people dead, even factoring in full social distancing. Various hysterics on this board were saying half the country would be wiped out.
But one strong, decisive leader stood up and said " not on my watch".
Like that u2 song

Donald John Trump
Oh my word!! What in the ell happened to this forum?

Trump is great.........letting the always wrong FAUCI make his dart throw projections of somewhere between 10,000 dead and 2 million has been a mistake......I would trust Trumps projections over the "bonehead experts" any day...........
In any case all the doomsday folks will win, they just say they scared the country into being cautious and they win no matter what.
Trump so far is one of the few people standing between us and the disaster of the leftists and the DNC..........all of them are a train wreck for the USA........
Not to worry His adversaries will swear they stopped trumps demonic follies and saved us in the nick of time - you will get it on cnn 24/7
The nature of a clown- to jump in front of a parade and presume to lead it

OMG, that's hilarious. How's the view up Trump's behind?
You do realize, don't you, that Trump followed only after multiple governors acted like leaders and took care of their own residents. If Trump had had his way, nothing would be closed and we'd all be down with this thing.
Those "strong, decisive" leaders were the governors of Washington, California, Ohio, etc. Trump only started parroting them when it began to look like they were right.

Just some of his comments:

Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.” — Trump in speaking to National Border Patrol Council members. Feb. 23: “We have it very much under control in this country.” — Trump in speaking to reporters. Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” — Trump in a tweet. Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump at a White House briefing. Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press
