They are and the only saving grace I can think of is that they just didn't want to shut down the entire economy based on China's/WHO's data alone. Our economy is a tad more important than many other countries and unfortunately that has to mean we're among the last to turn the lights off.

At least Trump and Kudlow shouldn’t have said that this is well contained and no problem. That was based on zero facts and just made up. I don’t envy political leaders in this situation having to choose between very bad options but at least don’t make stuff up. It’s ok to say that you don’t know. They also seem to be more concerned about blaming others instead of taking charge.
