Even as U.S. coronavirus deaths top 1,000, Trump claims his early action saved lives

, and to quarantine Americans returning from China for two weeks, had a short-lived impact at best, experts say.

Any gains from the travel ban were lost in “the crucial early days and weeks of spread by our lack of testing, limited contact tracing, and failure to impose rapid travel and movement restrictions where cases were identified to limit clusters,” he said. “We squandered weeks,” Jha said Thursday. The travel restrictions “created a sense of complacency because it felt like we did something meaningful.”

“I talk about the ‘Chinese virus’ and I mean it — that’s where it came from,” he said at the White House briefing, before praising Asian Americans. “I’m very close to them, as you know,” Trump said.

Nonsense. He did the complete opposite of saving lives!

The man is shameless....

しかし、風邪で亡くなった方2月迄で1万4千人超で、今プラスコロナで相当な数でしょう。

Early...action...

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

You cannot believe anything this president or his administration says.

From hoax to I knew it was going to be a pandemic in 2 weeks......WTF !

Media said millions

The media is a complete disgrace

WTF is he saying?!? We have more cases than China now! And China has a bigger population than us!

And your solution would’ve been to keep the China flights to continue or stop them earlier?

Obama’s FLU killed more than 12000 and infected more than 250 000 and the media weren’t so personal at the topic, why is so personal with Trump?

Gaslighter-in-Chief

But will sacrifice lives for Wall Street 🙄🙄

Of course hs does. Who is gonna say “hey I screwed up and people died”?

No question. He closed the door to China to keep the ChineseVirus limited instead if widespread. He should be recognized for that. But the dishonest FakeNewsMedia wont give it to him

Media still broadcasts trump lies. Pathetic. This is why I don’t subscribe to LAT.

😐😐😐

1000 is less than 1.4% of ALL US cases. That's about 3Xs better than the Italy death rate. GREAT job Mr. President, CDC, FDA, and all our medical workers. Give respect where it's due!

Experts have agreed the early action has saved lives - please continue with your lies.

His early inaction will cost lives. His inability to believe that a pandemic was coming cost lives. His failure to understand what can not be safely be done (like congregate at trump rallies, stay at a trump hotels, and fly) will cost lives. Trump is a consequence.

Trump 2020!

tRump should be charged with crimes against humanity. The cages at your southern boarder and now the American ppl themselves. This is so wrong what he is doing.

Stop this stupid, partisan bashing. No president would’ve shut downs the economy any earlier than Trump did for fear of ruining the economy

I think he's talking about a few rich friends. Those lives.

Of course it did. Look at Italy and Spain that did NOTHING. Trump was decried as racist when he cut of travel from China than Europe. That made a HUGE difference to US death toll. I wish LA Times would for once put TRUTH first in this time of global crisis. SHAME on LA Times

Miclpea Early? I do not agree.

They did ...

Restriction of travel from China wasn't enough. But, it is one of the few things he has done right.

He gets reelected in 2020, don't bother!

Buffoon.

His actions have saved his businesses.

Actually killed a life for wrong information.

It obviously did.

And?

It did

It did. a TRUMP 2020

... because it did...!

Trump disbanded our global health team and choked funding that was in place to protect us. He is responsible for the lost lives and lost resources of our once great country pretrumpcamelot

Early!? 🤔

Great President,?Great words? Great US? Finally you got NO.1 in Covid-19. Whether we will say to you 'CONGRATULATION'? Pls take a look at your US people, who are in Sick and so sad NOW, Great President!!!

What early action?

Vote Trump out! TrumpFailedAmerica

Deaths in the US has topped 1300....

Without his early actions The whole Country would have the Virus by now !

Trump's early swift actions have saved lives. The left wing irrelevant press hates the president. Your attempt to politicize a tragedy make you more irrelevant than you already are. The left's attempt to spread lies has destroyed journalism as well as the Democratic party.

Sooooo it's not a hoax

MasksNow WhereAreTheTests WhereAreTheVentilators TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER TrumpLiesAmericansDie

no

Trump continues to gaslight Americans with obvious lies.... there, I fixed your headline for you.

I thought his early action was claiming it was a hoax.

He will still claim the same when the death toll goes up, he lives in his own head and in his head he saved a lot of people!

Choose your reality!

True story! Unlike all the liberal talking heads that called him a racist for stopping incoming China flights!

'Stupid' is the point! It is Trump's appeal. Like racism is also really stupidity. He is the stupid person's way to grasp coronavirus. Or the government. He is their resentment. 'If you listen to Trump in a certain way, you hear adolescent backtalk.'

He also claims he’s 220 pounds. Stop shilling for this fraud

Read this: US wastes 4-6 weeks on corona

He is a delusional fool

'Trump claims' is the setup to most comedy these days

What early action? Trump said it was a hoax and he’s still doing nothing

ummmmmmmmmmmm no

He’s a disaster

It did. Remember this....

Trump says the US and China are 'working closely together' in fight against the coronavirusU.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and discussed 'in great detail' about the coronavirus pandemic, which has so far killed more than 24,000 people globally. They can’t No they're not. The Biological Weapons Lab invented the Coronavirus. Dummies. At this moment, when Trump need China's help, it's not a Chinese virus. The next moment, when Trump don't need China's help, it will be a Chinese virus. I just want to see how many times can Chinese believe Trump?
