Only thing I can think of re: Meadows alleged statement is that maybe he& #39;s overly excited & views the situation differently. I think to when mom & dad were diagnosed & I envisioned worst-case scenario & operated on that mindset even though they were exhibiting mildish symptoms.

Every cough or sneeze I heard from mom and dad when they had the coronavirus was, in my view, like "OMG, they& #39;re getting worse!" We have to remember that the ppl closest to Trump are right in the middle of the situation and are dealing w/ their own emotions/thoughts/fears.

This is also a rapidly evolving situation considering all the players involved & the armchair QBs who have differing opinions just based on how Trump may have looked at a particular point. The messaging isn& #39;t perfect, but even if it was, ppl would be suspicious of that, too.

Lastly, there& #39;s this hugely important point, which is that right now the WH has to do a careful balancing act between informing the press/public and refraining from giving away the kind of information that could embolden enemies who are watching - https://twitter.com/BruceHaynesDC/status/1312427248226574337">https://twitter.com/BruceHayn...
