At the White House, March 10, 2020, Reconstructed

 All the books say that Trump turned the corner on March 14 and 15, leading to the famous press conference the next day.

Yesterday you sent out a Tweet that compared the coronavirus from China with the flu.

What actually happened on the 10th? We don’t know. No reporter or interviewer has asked him the question. Most information about this day is completely classified so nothing is available by requests based on the Freedom of Information Act. Thus far, we are left to speculate on what caused Trump to destroy the strong economy that he believed he created. How could this have happened? 

What follows is fictional but based on all existing information. The scene is the Situation Room in the White House, say, sometime in the afternoon on Tuesday, March 10, 2020. 

FAUCI: In late January, I and my colleagues around the world, including in the UK and some in China, received some very disturbing information concerning a lab in China with whom we had variously worked over the years.

As you know, your trade policies and tariffs have created quite a stir and not just within China but among many major corporate partners around the world.

POTTINGER: In some ways, Mr. President, it is a tribute to your prowess in dealing with China.

FAUCI: As you know, my staff and many people from the World Health Organization took a trip to China three weeks ago.

For more than 20 years, through my office, we've been working on a new vaccine technology that can take development from 5 to 10 years to a mere matter of months.
