For those who've had trouble understanding why I and um, a
few others, have raised issues with the WH handling of this situation, here is exhibit A.

which again explains, again, why you and a few others, again, are not again, paying attention, again and just hating on Your Duly Elected President, again, because it's again all you've been able to do for going on four years.

California's Democrat Governor Praises Trump's Coronavirus Response: 'Every Single Thing he Said They Followed Through On'
By Jason Lemon On 3/9/20 at 1:29 PM EDT
California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom praised president President Donald Trump on Monday for supporting his state as it combats the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Trump and his administration have faced criticism for their response to the coronavirus. But Newsom, who declared a state of emergency in California last Wednesday, shared positive remarks about the way the president has responded and supported the West Coast state.
"We had a private conversation, but he said, 'We're gonna do the right thing' and 'You have my support, all of our support, logistically and otherwise,'" Newsom told reporters at a Monday news conference.
"He said everything I could have hoped for," the governor asserted. "And we had a very long conversation and every single thing he said, they followed through on," he noted.
Newsom said that he has received "consistent" support from Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Many have raised concerns and criticized the administration's handling of the pandemic, particularly after Trump dubbed coronavirus a "new hoax" from the Democrats during a rally at the end of February. The president also later questioned health experts on why the virus couldn't be treated with an ordinary flu shot, and suggested that people with COVID-19 could still go to work during an interview with Fox News.
Even some Republicans have urged Trump to follow the advice of health experts and avoid sharing information not supported by science.
"I listen to the scientists when it comes to the numbers, and I would encourage the president if he's going to report things to make sure the science is behind what he's saying," GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who generally defends the president, told reporters on Thursday.
Trump himself has repeatedly pushed back against critics, arguing that the media and Democrats are unfairly attacking his administration's response to coronavirus.
"The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant," he tweeted on Monday morning.
More than 100,000 people have been infected by coronavirus globally, with the majority of those cases being in China, where the virus was first discovered. The World Health Organization officially puts the death toll from confirmed cases at 3.4 percent.
But health experts have estimated that the overall death rate may be 2 percent or less, noting that many cases go untested and are not confirmed. Symptoms are mild for many individuals, meaning they may never even realize they've contracted COVID-19.
According to the available data, those under 30 have a significantly lower chance of dying from the virus, while the death rate increases among the elderly. Those with pre-existing health conditions – such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems – appear to be at greater risk of facing serious complications from the virus.
