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.
