The story is that President Trump downplayed Coronavirus, even declaring it a hoax while the Democratic politicians, mainstream journalists, and medical experts understood the magnitude of the problem from the end of January to March before we began social distancing. This is fiction retconned by the Democratic Party and their biased media. First, Trump never called the virus a hoax. He called the politicization of the virus by the Democrats and their biased media a hoax. The Democrats at Snopes point this out although they blame Trump for the confusion. However, it seems to me those news "journalists" who misunderstood what Trump said, wanted to misunderstand what Trump said. According to Snopes:
"Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the Coronavirus itself a hoax." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-remark/

November 2015, the "hero" governor of NY, Andrew Cuomo, is warned that NY does not have enough respirators for a respiratory virus pandemic. Rather than buying respirators, the hero appoints a death panel and spends the money on progressive programs like the failed solar panel project. According to Ventilater Allocation Guidelines for New York: "A severe influenza pandemic on the scale of the 1918 influenza outbreak will significantly strain medical resources, including ventilators. It has been estimated that during a severe 6-week outbreak, 89,610 influenza patients will require ventilators in New York State and there will not be enough ventilators in the State to meet the demand. A clinical ventilator allocation protocol will need to be implemented to ensure that ventilators are allocated in the most efficient manner to support the goal of saving the greatest number of lives." https://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/task_force/reports_publications/docs/ventilator_guidelines.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0mw80C57yxgyOfh8AzFoUkiXpQfGdTEODeuOp_NvBjurfqc8ZFb_FLHas

March 11, Dr. Fuaci explains the importance of the travel ban:
“'Whenever you look at the history of outbreaks, what you see now in an uncontained way, and although we are containing it in some respects, we keep getting people coming in from the country that our travel related, we’ve seen that in many of the states that are now involved,' Fauci continued, adding 'And then when you get community spread it makes the challenge much greater.'
"Fauci went on to say that 'we will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now,' and that how much worse it gets depends on 'contain[ing] the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside, and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country.'" https://www.mediaite.com/news/coronavirus-chief-dr-fauci-asked-if-worst-is-yet-to-come-yes-bottom-line-it-will-get-worse/
