"In late January, President Trump's economic adviser Peter Navarro warned his White House colleagues the novel coronavirus could take more than half a million American lives and cost close to $6 trillion, according to memos obtained by Axios." https://t.co/0Q0W88iZBV— Jonathan Swan (@jonathanvswan) April 7, 2020

They told their stockbrokers, apparently.— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) April 7, 2020
Sold some stock, bought some stock, held a few rallies, played some golf - told anyone who’d listen it was no big deal and cases were going quickly to zero— Yuri Thomas (@YuriThomas99) April 7, 2020
White House colleagues ignored Peter Navarro's dire coronavirus warnings in January and February because, as one put it, they "could needlessly rattle markets" https://t.co/GIPaMjvsDS— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) April 7, 2020
Of course, of course — the one time Peter Navarro was actually right about something is the one time Trump ignored his advice. https://t.co/lN8HLN1tFz— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) April 7, 2020
In early March, Trump revealed he knew exactly what needed to be done to stop the spread of COVID-19: "They’re trying to scare everybody, from meetings, cancel the meetings, close the schools ..."— LOLGOP (@LOLGOP) April 7, 2020
Now, it's clear the White House knew what it needed to do in late January. https://t.co/DsSBmev95j

For perspective, keep in mind that the purpose of information like this is to reduce suffering. And it worked! All indications are that they aren't suffering at all.
Czippy -- isn't that the whole Republican philosophy ("afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable")? They were simply acting on that noble ideology!
