We expressed concern at Donald's handling of the pandemic in a thread earlier in the week .... "I wanted to always play it down," Trump told Woodward on March 19, even as he had declared a national emergency over the virus days earlier. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."

Don't worry though, he actually over played the threat, or did he? I'm confused.

At Tuesday's town hall meeting held by ABC News in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mr Trump was asked why he would "downplay a pandemic that is known to disproportionately harm low-income families and minority communities".
Mr Trump responded: "Yeah, well, I didn't downplay it. I actually, in many ways, I up-played it, in terms of action."
"My action was very strong," he said, citing a ban imposed on people travelling from China and Europe earlier this year.
"We would have lost thousands of more people had I not put the ban on. We saved a lot of lives when we did that," Mr Trump said.
