Snopes labels it as TRUE don't know if you didn't read or agreeing.
RealClearPolitics (RCP) is a conservative political news site an,<-- of course the will label in favor of cult leader.
On Jan. 18, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
On Jan. 27, White House aides met with then-acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to try to get senior officials to take the virus threat more seriously
On Jan. 29, economic adviser Peter Navarro warned the White House in a memo addressed to the National Security Council that COVID-19 could take more than half a million American lives and cause nearly $6 trillion in economic damage.
On Jan. 30, Azar warned Trump in a subsequent call that the virus could become a pandemic and that China should be criticized for its lack of transparency, per the Times. Trump dismissed Azar as alarmist and rejected the idea of criticizing China.
Jan. 30, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a global health emergency. WHO has only done so five times since gaining that power in 2005.
On Feb. 5, senators urged the administration in a briefing to take the virus more seriously and asked if additional funds were necessary. The administration made no requests at the time for emergency funding.
On Feb. 14, a memo was drafted by health officials in coordination with the National Security Council that recommended the targeted use of "quarantine and isolation measures," per the Times. Officials planned to present Trump with the memo when he returned from India on Feb. 25, but the meeting was canceled.
On Feb. 21, the White House coronavirus task force conducted a mock exercise of the pandemic. The group concluded that the U.S. would need to implement aggressive social distancing, even if it caused mass disruption to the economy and American lives, per the Times.
On Feb. 23, Navarro doubled down on his warnings in another memo, this time addressed to the president, stating that up to 2 million Americans could die of the virus.
On Feb. 25, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Nancy Messonnier publicly warned of the virus threat and said "we need to be preparing for significant disruption in our lives.” Trump reportedly called Azar fuming that Messonnier had scared people unnecessarily and caused the stock market to plummet, per the Times.
Anthony Fauci said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that "no one is going to deny" that more lives could have been saved if the Trump administration had implemented social distancing guidelines earlier on.
The one and only time I'm going to waste my time.. again with the cherry picking.
Go ahead and do more gymnastics.. Just admit he fucked up the beginning of this.
It's obvious and a waste of time to keep talking in circles.
no, i just left out the part of that post that i pointed out how manipulative snopes was. it was part of what lead to the links that followed. (it's a fair point-out since you were missing context, but it's obviously contradicting to what actually happened)
look up to Jan 30th.

this helps to back up my claim that the false numbers released by the CCP, had effect on countries decisions world-wide. (one most helpful, would have been to know that the virus could lay dormant for an avg of 2 weeks and still infect people. that creates a huge "lag" in information gathered.)
now for everything after this, your examples are again using hind-sight and i'll explain. these people are suggesting the "virus is serious", and they were obviously right. but what recommendations are they making?
Trump has already closed travel with numerous countries at this point, he left and continues to leave a lot of decisions to the State leaders.
all of this leading to Feb. 25th: when everyone used hind-sight to ask a question of Fauci, which is fine, but...

these "social-distancing measures" have completely shut down our economy. we did this to "flatten the curve" so our hospitals weren't overwhelmed at 1 time. if you haven't noticed... the line is flattening and our system is not overwhelmed (as a whole, there are exceptions, but even NY is generally able to take the up-keep).
all of this is using hind-sight to say "we could have saved more lives". we are in a very possible situation to lose many more lives than that through continued "extreme measures" currently in place. (even ignoring future consequences, everything is built on hind-sight when Trump was given contradicting evidence and suggestions from within our government and other countries governments)
---adding off-topic: it's a bit hot in the room today.
