not staffing the cdc when people quit
disbanding *the entire pandemic team* after its leader quit
not staffing those gaps either
Already addressed that.
not having tests ready
Already addressed that too.
lying about how long the disease was in the country (US's first case was in january)
Trump said, "We got hit with the virus really three weeks ago, if you think about it, I guess. That's when we first started really to see some possible effects." -- from the piece. This is self-explanatory if you read the second half of his statement, right there,and stop being so pedantic.
claiming the disease was "under control" in februaryIn February, it did indeed look under control. Again, the MSM was busy saying he was a racist for closing travel down, and Big Tech was busy suppressing anyone daring to talk about it.
not doing any testing to confirm this claim You know, just about every point you make here you glibly throw in "and he didn't test to confirm it!" at the end. I'm just saying.
purposefully leaving people to die in an effort to "not raise the numbers" on how many people were infected
Easily explainable if you don't think Trump is literally Hitler: he didn't want to double the number of infections from possible new exposures. Yeah, I know, "REEEEE!" and all.
claiming the virus was contained
"I don't want to downplay anything," Kudlow said before effectively downplaying the true extent of the coronavirus and its momentum. "Worry about the effect on human beings, for heaven's sake. But I'm just saying, let's not overreact. In many ways, America should stay at work."
"We don't actually know what the magnitude of the virus is going to be, although frankly so far it looks relatively contained."
--Kudlow, Feb 25th -- which, at that time (almost a month ago at this point), it did look relatively contained, and we were less than a month from all the cries of "muh racism" for Trump closing down travel from China on Jan 31st.
not doing any testing to confirm this claim
-already addressed test kits
saying that the coronavirus is "Like the flu"
-for at least 90%, it is - that number will likely increase with more testing showing more asymptomatic / mild symptomatic cases - really depends on underlying conditions and age (which are linked).
saying the virus will "Disappear like a miracle"
-You might want to ask China about that. No new infections, right? Right? Although we should be cautious of a possible second wave.
not doing any testing to see if it's actually going away
More testing is going to increase the number of infected, not make it appear to be going away (at this point). This seems to be more an issue of non-communication with outside (state / private) labs. They should enforce a standard reporting procedure.
underplaying the amount of (known) infections by saying they were "lower then just about anybody"
not doing any testing to confirm this claim
--Fact check doesn't address how much testing was being done by countries with a total lower than the US but was quick to point out the US was doing less testing than countries with a higher total.
Testing, again.
Having a 10 minute speech which turned out to be so wrong that various other departments had to correct it
--looks like a few misreads on the teleprompter if you ask me. Congrats, I guess?
Focusing this speech on how you're preventing the disease from entering the country, completely ignoring that the disease literally already is in the country (since January!) and what you really need is more testing.
Funny enough, I think it's already been mentioned that he thought it serious enough to close off China travel, despite whatever he said to try to keep people from panicking.
