So basically "I don't mind lying to the public so as we can avoid panic and the problems that ensue with it". We'll see how that plays with voters.
I don't see your link.
The quote was my own summary (i.e. not verbatim, he obviously didn't call himself a liar). Sorry if that made it sound like a direct. The presser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5nQo7Yy0Iw

Admits to downplaying it in March.
And it's all on tape.
From a Feb interview we found out "downplayed" the coronavirus outbreak to prevent panic.
Meanwhile he banned travel in Jan, began testing Feb 6th and the HHS signed a deal to expedite the development of vaccines & treatments for CV19 by Feb 11th.
Nice try.
The travel restrictions were NOT a ban. And it was already here regardless.
Nice try.
What are you faulting him for exactly? That his restrictions weren't severe enough even though he was advocating tougher measures than pretty much any western country? If anything, in hindsight, we should've followed Sweden's route. I don't know how you can blame Corona deaths on Trump. The left was bashing him for doing too much and not keeping the border open. Cuomo's the one who killed the elderly.
I wasn't faulting him for anything regarding the China restrictions, just stating facts. We still allowed like 40k people to come in from China IIRC. And no, they weren't all tested upon arrival nor were they all quarantined afterward. And we were like the 40th country to impose a travel restriction.
And speaking of New York, their travelers who brought in the virus came from Europe and those restrictions were imposed later. Both restrictions came after the virus was already here as we now know. So it's hard to tell how much we actually mitigated with them. Additionally, in regards to the Europe ban, it was announced with a delay and many folks then scrambled to come back in before it took effect, which clearly brought back cases. And again, not every was tested nor quarantined upon arrival.
The right often points to this so called ban as some panacea for trump when it really wasn't.
Uhhh, how are we supposed to "test" people when we don't know what we're testing for, and no test existed?
Was the China ban still xenophobic and racist? Seems Sloe now approves of the ban, Soooo.
Biden's plan for Covid the day after Trump stopped flights from Europe. I bet they had to take him to the Chiropractor due to moving his head back and forth reading the teleprompter.
Who cares if this is a “bombshell”. The main questions that need to be answered are whether the following statements will be uttered with a straight-face on the cable-news shows:
1. “Today was a turning-point.”
2. “The walls are closing in.”
3. “It’s the beginning of the end.”
So basically all you have to do is write some negative book about Trump and these mindless liberal fktards will buy them up and make you rich. Its like Penthouse Forum for people afflicted with TDS

You know there will be some phrase used tonight that for some mysterious reason all of the talking heads will use. I love it when Rush plays the talking point on the day on his show. Sometimes goes to 20 different people using the same phrase.

Woodward has been rich since at least 1974. Whatever his motivation for writing his 23rd book, I doubt it was because he *Needed* the money.

Ha! Woodward may, indeed, have a terminal case of that.

Timing.
And while we all (well the sane ones anyway) knew he was incorrect, this proves he was purposely lying about it to the public, right? And sure, maybe he quelled a panic, but didn't he also delay public awareness to the severity of this?
And you knew this because of your credentials as a virologist, right? You didn't know jack schit so stop acting like you did.
You know I made the joke awhile back when Mach was here about he spending his nights in the basement with newspaper articles, posts on various message boards, and tweets all printed out and connecting all the stuff with yarn and thumbtacks and clapping his hands together and saying, "We finally got the sonofabitch!"
I'm thinking it's more of them that post here than ol' Mach.

The Biden family has more crap under their fingernails than you can find anywhere near Trump's entire being. Hasn't 4 years of witch hunts shown you anything? What a goofball you are.

Nothing will matter to the cult. They've already sold their souls to the orange menace.
Meh, at least he can think clearly, you're side is selling your soul to a mentally impaired senile old crook.
Think about it. If Biden wins and the Dems keep the house the lineage to White House is a 1 Senile old man who just reads whatever is put in front of him. 2. An angry whore and 3. An old lady who can get "tricked" by a Salon owner. Putin, Xi and the Ayatollah must be licking their chops.

Wow, his decline is dramatic when you compare his appearance now to just a few short months ago.
