OTTAWA -- A former member of U.S. President Donald Trump's COVID-19 task force says the president was warned "very early on" about the severity of the virus but still went "out of his way" to "undermine" efforts against it.
"The president was told very early on that this virus would be worse than the flu," said Olivia Troye, former aide to Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview with CTV Question Period Host Evan Solomon airing Sunday.
"He specifically said, 'Is this worse than the flu?' He was told, 'Yes, it absolutely is. It spreads a lot faster, and it can be deadlier from what we're seeing' He was warned."
She added that "he goes out of his way to undermine it and to say the pandemic, you know is going away that cases were going away."

Troye, once a homeland security official, was Vice President Mike Pences top aide on the White House coronavirus task force until she left in August 2020. While the lifelong republican contends she resigned, Pence's national security adviser Mike Kellogg asserts he fired her and escorted her off the compound.

Another bombshell zzzzzzzzzzz
Yoe,
Early on, Pelosi or Feinstein said to go to Chinatown and party.
And Fauxi said “don’t worry about it”.
That former staffer forgot those little details.
‘Is this worse than the flu?’ He was told, ‘Yes, it absolutely is. It spreads a lot faster, and it can be deadlier from what we’re seeing’ He was warned.”
False.
Im 57 and had it. Its like a weird chest COLD - hacking up phlegm and Yeah, with lots of fatigue and feeling just plain lousy. So, you get to spend 3-4 days laying around, taking vitamins, drinking lots of fluids and watching your favorite tv...
And then you feel normal again. A LOT like your average cold.
But Id take it over the flu ANY time.
Biden was schizophrenic on COVID Thursday night.
He says he called for a far stronger lockdown of the economy much earlier.
Then he decried people losing jobs by the millions and not being able to feed their families.
Then he said that Trump should NOT open the economy so people can work.
He was on every side of the issue within minutes.
And thousands of those deaths were not really covid deaths but
attributed to covid due to a monetary incentive to do so thanks in part to the Cares act.
She looks like Miss Piggy...and Piggy is cuter.
WHAT ABOUT THE DEATH RATE. Has that gone up?
She wears her evil for all to see. What a face!
Question: How do people like she get hired by the VP’s team?
Is there no vetting? A “John McCain Republican,” should be unemployed. (J.McCain is dead)
So he was warned it was worse than the flu - so I would assume that is why he put in things like travel pans, put together a task force, set up “Operation Warp Speed”, worked to mobilize production of medical equipment, etc.
What’s the story, here?
So she's a disgruntled employee.
These Monday morning quarterbacks. All other governments handled this the same way this limited to no resources and no one knew exactly what we were dealing with. I hate these people.
You don’t “downplay” a crisis by forming a task force with daily press briefings, impose travel bans, sign legislation spending trillions of dollars to combat it, mobilize a movement as big as World War II to mobilize personnel and resources to combat it, etc.
This makes zero sense. Period.
Oh she forgot to mention how Fauci said it would be a miniscule affect on the USA. She forgot to mention how Senate Committees were briefed in Feb but they still said festivals and parades were ok to continue, the impeachment hearings, no masks, no worries, no statements about COVID safety.

Every one of these articles also fails to mention Congreess is briefed on the very same national security info. So they hear about whatever the President hears about. No one seems to question why if it was a big deal back then why didn’t someone in Congress make a statement about it?
As Citizens of the United States, we are only alive today
due to the lack of someone explaining to our Leftist
leaders that by killing each of us, the pandemic could be
stopped in its tracks. Yes, I’m serious. Look what they
are demonstrably willing to do out our business community.
gyms are largely forbidden, and TV is encouraged.
So work out at home. You don't need to be rich enough to afford a home gym. I started with an adjustable dumbbell, a yoga mat, and some YouTube workout videos. I still weigh the same as I did almost 7 months ago when all of this started. Perhaps my cardio has suffered a bit, but my muscular strength is the same. I also learned more coding and started writing a novel, though that's taken a backseat now that I'm back at work. Quarantine is what the individual chooses to make of it. Americans need to start taking responsibility for their own life choices.
The falling behind in school is not a choice.
No you dont, and all the news media harps on is the death number, when millions have recovered, or what 200,000 means in context of over 330million people. We get over 200,000 heart disease deaths year after year and no one bats an eye except for those who know them personally.
Most people do not blame Trump on the virus issue, the Democrats keep beating a dead horse.
