Hey NYT, You said it right there eight paragraphs down, that in the day the memo came out Trump assemble a virus task force and the very next day restricted travel ban from China as Navarro suggested. How is that downplaying it???

More narrative manufacturing from the old gray whore.

It's the Times. They also believe owning $3500 in stock through a mutual fund means PT is pushing Hydroxychloroquine to make money.
They claim to be the paper of record, but this shows otherwise.

The memo was dated the same day that Mr. Trump named a White House task force to deal with the threat, and as the administration was weighing whether to bar some travelers from China, an option being pushed by Mr. Navarro
Mr. Trump would approve the limits on travel from China the next day...
F’ the NYTimes.

Wow. I’ve seen spin before, but this is just surreal. Just imagine how the NYT will be in October!

Expect President Trump and Peter Navarro to release/read the entire memo at today’s briefing. Ukraine phone call redux.

Thanks to RayChuang88 for the above. The media/press hasn't changed in well over a hundred years.

Fine. The most Nationalistic of Pt's advisers was right.

Closing down the country to China is not downplaying the threat
To: Bigtigermike
Memo dated 29 JAN... “The memo was dated the same day that Mr. Trump named a White House task force to deal with the threat”
Would appear that the first Memo was reflecting the thinking already underway by the President and his senior leaders...the Task Force was considered well before Dr. Navarro’s Memo and was led by HHS Sec Azar until Vice President Pence was tapped to lead the effort on 26 FEB...the same day Dr. Birx was named the Coronavirus Response Coordinator.
The Task Force was well underway by the time of Dr Navarro’s second Memo on 23 FEB.
Some additional info in a 27 FEB article in USA Today, complete with the tone to be expected.

Dammit, make up your minds, NYT. Is a trade advisor qualified to make medical assessments or isn’t he?
