Please read and share and spread the information. I'm open to corrections if I missed anything.
This is a timeline of the rise of COVID-19. I encourage you to read the articles, which I took from all different sources and news outlets, and I encourage you to seek out the facts. The media doesnt plan on you taking it upon yourself to find information. Look at who did and said what, and when.
-Trump bans travel from Wuhan and issues quarantiness. WHO says travel shouldn't be banned. Trump also declares a public health emergency for the entire nation, with US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar
-Pence takes over as head of covid task force and daily briefings begin. Pelosi says the emergency funding requested is too late to do anything, just days after encouraging tourism to Chinatown. Trump says, "we don't want to see panic," to reporters and states that there is a chance it will spread, this entire article he says everything he knows and the uncertainty of the virus. Proof he wasn't hiding anything.
