Quote
In late January, President Trump's economic adviser Peter Navarro warned his White House colleagues the novel coronavirus could take more than half a million American lives and cost close to $6 trillion, according to memos obtained by Axios.

    By late February, Navarro was even more alarmed, and he warned his colleagues, in another memo, that up to two million Americans could die of the virus.

Driving the news: Navarro's grim estimates are set out in two memos — one dated Jan. 29 and addressed to the National Security Council, the other dated Feb. 23 and addressed to the president. The NSC circulated both memos around the White House and multiple agencies.

    In the first memo, which the New York Times was first to report on, Navarro makes his case for "an immediate travel ban on China."
    The second lays the groundwork for supplemental requests from Congress, with the warning: "This is NOT a time for penny-pinching or horse trading on the Hill."

More of what he knew and when he knew it at link

Tomorrow some reporter will ask about this, and President Trump will become unhinged and blast them for such a nasty question, then he'll ask the reporter why they're not asking about what a great job the President did banning China early on.

Trump's performance in these briefings is becoming more bonkers daily.
Anyone who thinks he's a shoo-in for re-election better wake up.

In the President's defense there are no graphics, pictures, games or puzzles in the memo, and almost no mention of the President by name.  It's like Navarro was hoping the President would ignore it.

And?  What is it they will ask about?  It's the attitude.  They are trying to make Trump look bad when it isn't merited.  He has to delicately balance the pandemic shutdowns to save lives while keeping the economy as steady as possible.  While long term impossible, hopefully his moves will keep us afloat. He has done everything possible to make this a short term pandemic.  The numbers are guestimates.  No one knows. 

In the meantime, the Dem governors have encouraged public gatherings where this could become a true nightmare. They have denied their citizens the few cheap drugs that have been saving lives. When they finally called for appropriate distancing, it had already spread all over the area.  Their behavior is inexcusable.  Finally in April they wised up.  Somewhat.

My gov. is an idiot.  He would not allow Hydroxychloroquine in the state.  He finally relented last week, but is hoarding the drugs.  He claims he needs them for prisoners.  More like he is hoarding it and passing it out to the PTB and family  members.  The rest of us, not so much.  We're expendable. Our doctors can not prescribe it. 

Why is that? They would love to destroy our economy so they can regain power.  More dead people, more less Trump.  Tank the economy, more less Trump.  Their moves are blatantly obvious.

You are watching a different movie than I am.  There is little to gain by disputing everything about your interpretation.  You see what you see.  I see what I see.  Thanx for your response @dancer

Axios is okay, with precautions, I believe Senator Cotton tweeted one of their articles recently: 

https://twitter.com/SenTomCotton/status/1235278772166942722 (of course, he's tweeted NYT too). Axios has some sort of special China update. I'd have no idea how one would describe their political updates.

Peter Navarro is an economist, he wrote or co-wrote a book "Death by China" which was made into a movie. I have not seen this, I am not aware of it's contents.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_China

http://deathbychina.com/

Maybe the movie is available in full or part at the above link.

This will surely be addressed in the next press conference, save that Navarro is not a medical professional, he is a big hawk on China. Perhaps, this problem could have been minimized some. We will see what treatment it receives.  It doesn't sound good on the face of it.

Also, in fact, importantly, these articles make it sound like Navarro has been at some of these coronavirus briefings.

Title to me says a lot; circulated in the West Wing -- Jared Kushner.  Now he's taking direction from Pence and involved with fighting the virus.  **nononono*
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Maybe, this would seem to hurt Trump's chances to be reelected though.

It looks real bad to me... I know, we were lacking testing kits until the end of February. We'll have to see where all of this goes.

Take this article with three large boulders of salt:  1)  It's posted by: Once-Ler; 2) First in to dump on the President:  Absalom and 3) It's published in:  Axios.  This is commonly referred to as  "three strikes".

Oh FFS.   Give it a rest.  Or go back to DU.   Or both.

We should expect this by now @mystery-ak  It's been happening for four years.  It's SOP.

I hope someday we can accept how this works and stop being afraid of it,  Just a hope.

The administration always does @mystery-ak   Always.  I'm sure we'll hear about this from the "reporters" and then from POTUS this afternoon during today's briefing.

If anyone's interesting in watching.   :shrug:
