They didn’t want the American public to know.
They lied to cover it up.
As we detail, the US military raised the threat level to WATCHCON1 for the imminent pandemic.

Goodman believes this is the most comprehensive timeline of Trump's response to the pandemic, going back all the way to joint epidemic exercises with the Obama administration prior to the inauguration and including a timeline of Trump's deterioration of our preparedness.
