Public-health experts have excoriated Trump's early efforts to downplay the threat of the virus, arguing that Trump robbed the US of valuable time needed to prepare for what is now a pandemic — potentially costing thousands of lives. Trump spent "two months of completely ignoring every bit of scientific advice," Dr. Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told Insider in mid-March. "We've wasted two months. And this is not a disease where you're allowed to waste two months." Jha, a general internist who received his doctorate in medicine from Harvard Medical School, slammed Trump for telling Americans everything was "under control" when, he said, it "was very clear to anybody paying attention that it was not under control." "I don't use these words lightly, and it's incredibly painful for me to say it," he said, adding: "The cost of all of this is that tens of thousands of Americans are going to die unnecessarily." He went on to say: "It was wholly preventable, and not just preventable in hindsight — it was preventable in foresight. Everybody said this is how it was going to play out if they didn't act."
