2/3 One of the most dangerous, dishonest statements of the Trump administration, because it contributes to public complacency:

February 26: Trump wrongly says the coronavirus "is a flu" (and repeatedly made such comparisons as though COVID-19 is not an extreme emergency).
3/3 One of the most dangerous, dishonest statements of the Trump administration, because it contributes to public complacency:

March 2: Trump says a vaccine is coming "relatively soon."

<Thread> Important critique by top expert @D_P_Fidler.

Fine-grained analysis includes explanation of United States' LEGAL OBLIGATIONS to report to #WHO what it knew about #coronavirus (when the US knew China was covering up "cataclysmic" disease).

2. My own added thought:

Trump criticized #WorldHealthOrganization for its recommendations on travel bans.

But note several experts took the view that the WHO position was required by the 2005 international rules—which the US helped draft and support.

3. There are valid criticisms of the #WorldHealthOrganization's handling of China and the coronavirus pandemic.

Fidler's final point is such a smart one.

Trump's approach is squandering the opportunity to have a genuine, independent retrospective review of the WHO's actions.

Fox News may well have blood on its hands for #coronavirus false info.

So what could lawsuits or FCC do to address that?

Nada and likely counterproductive writes media law expert @erinccarroll13. Look elsewhere for solutions.

Thanks to Mayor de Blasio

His awfulness on coronavirus allows us to show that criticism of political leaders is about failures to keep us safe—not about political parties.

The latest by this Democratic mayor is an indictment of him.
