US President Donald Trump holds a press briefing with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force on April 5, 2020 in Washington, DC.President Donald Trump claimed there were "very good experts" who predicted the novel coronavirus "would never affect the United States."It's unclear which experts he was referring to; dozens of public health officials warned early on of a US outbreak that would severely disrupt daily life.
"So, we're going to show more cases, because we're doing much, much more testing — double anybody else," he said. "And it will be, at the appropriate time, it will be down to zero like we said." It's unclear which experts the president was referring to when he said they "got it wrong" by predicting the virus "would never affect" the US. Dozens of public health officials"Ultimately we expect we will see community spread in the United States," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters during a conference call on February 25.
