A running list of the dumbest things Trump has said about the coronavirus

If you took Trump’s advice to trust only him and to disregard everything you see or hear (especially about invisible hoaxes like the coronavirus which you can’t even see!), you are likely right now prepping to take grandma to another exciting Trump rally instead of making sure she has all her prescriptions refilled and enough toilet paper to get through the spring.
Here’s a running list of the dumbest things Trump has said about the coronavirus:

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”................................


................

Current status: US coronavirus spread continues: confirmed cases surge to 3,485 as of March 16, with 65 fatalities.

March 17: “I have always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic… I’ve always viewed it as very serious.”

March 19: “If we had an honest media in this country, our country would be an even greater place.”

March 19: “It could have been stopped, could have been stopped pretty easily if we had known, if everybody had known about it… Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic… of this proportion.”

March 25: “Nobody could have ever seen something like this coming.”...................................
