On February 3 the USA had 11 cases of
virus including 3 in California. Trump closed the borders to those having visited
China in the past 2 weeks.
Early
February Matthew Pottinger deputy national
security adviser called for a more forceful response to the threat of the
virus.
And Robert Kadlec, the assistant secretary for
preparedness and response — who was joined by intelligence officials, including
from the CIA — told committee members that the virus posed a “serious” threat. Kadlec
didn’t provide specific recommendations, but said that to get ahead of the
virus and blunt its effects, Americans would need to take actions that would
disrupt their daily lives. “It is very alarming.”
February 10 (T) “I
think the virus is going to be — it’s going to be fine”.
February 14 (T) “We have a very small number of people
in the country, right now, with it. It’s like around 12. Many of them are
getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape.”
February 19 (T) “I
think it’s going to work out fine. I think when we get into April, in the
warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that type of a virus.”
February 24 (T) “The Corona virus is very much under control in
the USA. Stock Market starting to look
very good to me!”
February 25 (T) “You may ask about the corona virus, which is very well
under control in our country. We have very few people with it, and the people
that have it are getting better. They are all getting better… As far as what we
are doing with the new virus, I think that we are doing a great job.”
February 25 National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow: We have
contained this, I won’t say airtight, but pretty close to it. We have done a
good job in the USA.”
February 25, Nancy Messonnier, a senior CDC official, sounded perhaps
the most significant public alarm to that point, when she told reporters that
the corona virus was likely to spread within communities in the United States
and that disruptions to daily life could be “severe.”
But… Trump called Alex Azar on his way back from a trip to India and
complained that Messonnier was scaring the stock markets, according to two
senior administration officials.
February 26 (T)
“And again when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going
to go down close to zero, that is a pretty good job we have done”
Same day, CDC Director Robert Redfield commented: “it
would be prudent to assume this pathogen will be with us for some time to
come.”
February 28 (T) “It is going to disappear. One day, it is like a miracle, it will disappear”
