January 29 of this year, National Security Advisor Ambassador @robertcobrien to me on air: “It’s an incredibly dangerous virus. We’re meeting on it every day. The President’s being briefed by his advisors, Alex Azar, by CDC on an almost hour by hour basis.” 1
“So we’re watching it carefully. We did note that the British Airlines, one of the great airlines in the world, and with a very international reach, has suspended direct flights in and out of mainland China. So we’re monitoring that.” 2
“I believe that was a company decision, not a UK government decision, but I think it’s, I think that sends a message to the American people.” 3
“The travel advisory at the State Department has been upped to level three, so we’re encouraging folks without essential business in China not to go to China.” 4
“And we’ll keep looking at things, but it’s, this virus is deadly, and it’s a matter of great concern to the President and to the administration.” So that more than a week before @realDonaldTrump talks to @realBobWoodward. See if MSM puts out the context. It won’t. 5
