There was a stark admission during Tuesday’s Task Force press conference.
Trying to tar President Trump, a reporter asked Dr. Deborah Birx why the administration initially downplayed the potential severity of COVID-19.
Her answer wasn’t quite what the reporter was fishing for:
When the initial data started coming out of China, the thinking was that this was more like SARs, not a global pandemic.
The medical community interpreted the data as if it was serious, but smaller than (it turned out to be)
Hmm.
Isn’t that what Trump was saying in early January?
I wonder where he got his info … the medical community, maybe?
