President Trump and top White House economist Larry Kudlow claimed coronavirus is under control in the United States.
But U.S. health officials are warning that the exact opposite is true.
The Trump Administration recently criticized China’s coronavirus response for lack of transparency. So why is it lying to Americans now?
President Donald Trump claimed Monday that the coronavirus “is very much under control in the USA.” Amazingly, in the same tweet, he encourages people to buy stocks:
It’s well contained here … The virus is contained in the United States.
On the day he made that statement, Feb , there were (official cases of coronavirus in the US confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control. When Kudlow made the same claim on Tuesday, the case total had spiked to 90
That sounds pretty far from airtight. to me. That’s a (% increase in cases in) days. If COVID – cases continue to grow at that rate, three million people living in the US could be infected by the coronavirus by the first day of summer.
If that doesn’t happen, it will be due to extraordinary containment efforts. The CDC warns the necessary response will drastically disrupt life and business in the U.S.

Larry Kudlow also dismissively referred to the global health emergency
as “the virus story” and “the virus” thing, ”saying:
The virus story’s not going to last forever. It’s not going to last forever … The virus thing will pass.
But it’s not “a story.” It’s a contagious virus that causes a dangerous upper respiratory disease. It’s spreading rapidly throughout China and other countries like South Korea, Iran, and Italy.
These measures can be disruptive and might have societal and economic impact on individual persons and communities
The coronavirus response includes coordination with the US Department of Homeland Security. They will likely have to screen airline travelers in airports. CDC says school dismissals, cancellations of mass gatherings, and working from home, if possible, “might be critical to averting widespread COVID – transmission ”in the US
People are waking up to Trump’s lies. | Source: Twitter
Ultimately, we will see community spread in this country. It’s not a question of if but rather a question of when and how many people in this country will have severe illness.
Either Trump and Kudlow are smarter than the scientists, or they’re blatantly lying about the coronavirus.
We thought there was better transparency coming out of China. But it doesn’t appear to be. I know they revised their numbers up a bit.
So why are he and Trump trying to keep Americans in the dark about the coronavirus?
Maybe it’s the best tactic to avoid unnecessary panic. But it could also lead to further proliferation of the disease. Either way, the White House can’t judge the Chinese government for their lack of transparency.
