Actually - I think (again - not sure) that she is saying all of this because she got outed late last week. A private conversation of her's was supposedly leaked between her and a friend of her's named "Frank" where she admitted to him that there were already 1000 cases in the US in 32 states but that they were "keeping it quiet for now and reporting far less to the public." She also tells him to go nowhere without a mask - and that - basically - we have to ensure safety measure quickly or it's gonna get out of hand.
I've got the screencaps of it on my phone, complete with the screencaps of the people who tried to ask her on Twitter that she blocked right after that. So - this could be her doing damage control and it may make sense why there was an emergency meeting requesting funds. Take it with a grain of salt.
the text in question was perfectly reasonable and read like other written statements by her.
