De dokters die Trump bijstaan oa Anthony Fauci en Deborah Birx zijn alvast geloofwaardiger dan de virologen die regelmatig op Een en VTM te zien zijn. Anderhalve maand geleden mochten we nog met een gerust hart op Krokusverlof vertrekken

Bizar statement. Ik vind Fauci ook zeer competent maar je vergelijking met onze virologen slaat nergens op. De Krokusvakantie hier begon op zaterdag 22 februari, 2 maanden geleden dus. Het is niet dat ze in Amerika dan al veel maatregelen hadden getroffen, integendeel. Wat uitspraken van Trump tijdens die week:
February 24: "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 26: "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."
February 26: "You know in many cases when you catch this it is very light — you don’t even know there’s a problem. Sometimes they just get the sniffles, sometimes they just get something where they are not feeling quite right and sometimes they feel really bad but that’s a little bit like the flu. It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for and we will essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
February 26: "This is a flu. This is like a flu."
February 27: "We're rapidly developing a vaccine. The vaccine is coming along well, and in speaking to the doctors we think this is something that we can develop fairly rapidly."
February 27: "It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear."
February 27: "The flu in our country kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year. That was shocking to me. And so far, if you look at what we have with the 15 people, and they're recovering, one is pretty sick but hopefully will recover. But the others are in great shape."
February 28: Trump campaign rally
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
February 28: "The Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. ... They tried the impeachment hoax. ... And this is their new hoax."
