You mean when the leading doctor Fauci said in Jan. that the new coronavirus was not a threat to the US?Fauci is not the leading authority Trump picked this guy to lead it because he is a yes man. The CDC said it was a threat in January but Trump ignored the CDC. Pandemics and epidemics are ran through the CDC. Trump even tried to cut their budget and shut down the pandemic office in the white house. The CDC and every other doctor warned Trump.

Jan. Flashback: Dr. Fauci Said Coronavirus ‘is not a major threat to the people of the United States’
“This is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States should be worried about right now,” Dr. Fauci told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on January 21.
Dr. Fauci has backtracked on his original message. He now says the U.S. has yet to receive the worst of the COVID-19 outbreak. He has even encouraged a national shutdown after telling NBC in late February that Americans should go about their normal lifestyles.
On January 21, Fauci appeared on television to reassure the public that the Wuhan coronavirus was not worth worrying about:
GREG KELLY: Bottom line. We don’t have to worry about this one right?
FAUCI: Well obviously we have to take it seriously and follow the things the CDC an DHS are doing but this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.
Two days later, Chinese security forces quarantined an entire city of 11 million people. In some cases, they locked residents in their apartments from the outside. Chinese authorities were clearly panicked. But Anthony Fauci wasn’t. He assured Americans that, while they might want to reconsider immediate travel plans to Wuhan, going to the Super Bowl was absolutely fine. As it turned out, it wasn’t fine. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis now says the Super Bowl in Miami may have been a breeding ground for the spread of the virus. But Fauci kept going.
On February 17, when coronavirus cases were starting to appear all over the world, he once again reassured the American public that the danger in this country was, quote, “just minuscule.” He said people ought to worry more about the quote, “real and present danger” of the annual flu.
I could literally spent the rest of the day finding quotes from doctors, scientists, media, Democrats and Republicans saying "this is not something we need to be concerned about" even after learning that China quarantined an entire city of 11 million people and idiots like the OP for purely political reasons tell us that banning flights from China was not a contributing factor to reducing the threat.
And next to the coronavirus in "sickening" is the American left leaning MSM are acting as mouthpiece for Communist China and if you have ever watching the officials at WHO graveling at the feet of their Chinese masters, it would make you want to puke.
