Biden Tells Crowd At End Of February "It's Not A Time To Panic About Coronavirus"

What on Earth does this have to do with the OP?

Biden was traveling around telling small crowds of supporters that he would have locked down the country immediately.

The tone and content of his words in this video clip indicate that he most likely would NOT have shut down the country immediately. And that this is all just bluster after the fact, criticizing Trump in retrospect.

Not only wouldn’t Joe have locked down the country immediately, he would not have restricted travel to and from China, and our deaths per cases, instead of being 2.9%, would have looked more like Italy’s, at 12.5%.

Even his campaign manager would not state, when pressed repeatedly by Bret Bauer, that Joe would have imposed the travel restrictions Trump did, which bought many (not all, but many) hospitals valuable time to prepare.

The OP title says "Biden Tells Crowd At End Of February "It's Not A Time To Panic About Coronavirus" which reads like an attempt to justify Trump's claims that he downplayed the coronavirus because he did not want to create panic.

Nobody other than Trump had the resources (intelligence, diplomatic, scientific etc) to have the most information about the coronavirus threat.
 
It’s a trait. They believe all kinds of things that aren’t true, such as tax cuts pay for themselves; increasing the money supply causes hyperinflation; government help causes dependency, etc.

So, it’s no surprise when they swallow whatever Trump says. They’ve been conditioned for decades to believe BS.

This one is very personal to me. If I could get a job, of course I would have one. I used to work with a lot of people who could not get a job anywhere else. The reason for all of those people is the same: disabilities. Republicans have literally no reason to think at all disabled people are just too lazy to work if they are unable to go to job sites and perform all position duties. And what about all those people who were rejected by employers for medical reasons? One of them is pregnant women, who of course need the money then more than ever if they want to be mothers. (For some reason, pregnancy is also a legal reason to get fired.) In the real America, people apply for government benefits because they have no choice.
 
Saying "Don't panic" is not the same as saying "It'll go away on its own, don't do anything about it."

11 times Donald Trump has 'belittled' coronavirus - CNNPolitics

Trump is claiming now he didn't want to spread 'panic'. The actual words he used at the time were much worse - he misled the public deliberately. If all he'd sai was "don't panic" while acknowledging the danger, it wouldn't be such a scandal. Instead he literally said it'll go away on like a miracle.

No comparison.
 
SO you approve of joe biden lying about the virus got it. hypocrisy noted and you are dismissed.

Where to you get that? Where did Biden lie about the virus? The only thing remotely credible about your post is that its a credible entry for "Nonsensical Post of the Year"

Please try again, with a little grey matter behind your point this time.
