US President pulling the pin on the large planned gatherings
Last week from Trump:
- coronavirus is the "new hoax".
Two days ago:
- coronavirus no worse than the flu
Yesterday:
- "Stay calm. It will go away."
- "Be calm. It's really working out. And a lot of good things are going to happen."
Today:
- "We must beat it as quickly and safely as possible"
An hour ago - bans inbound from Europe.
