Don’t believe what you hear and see, says Mike Pence:
Vice President Pence on Thursday denied that the country’s response to the coronavirus was in any way hampered by President Trump repeatedly downplaying the threat from the deadly disease.
“Absolutely not,” Pence said on Fox News when asked if Trump’s public dismissiveness of the virus limited the ability of the U.S. to contain the pandemic. “His tone was one of projecting calm and confidence,” Pence said. “But I heard him at that podium, I heard him at every setting. We gave the American people the facts.”
“I wanted to, I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic,” Trump told Woodward in a recording from mid-March.

On Fox News, Vice President Pence says he was present at Jan. 28 briefing where, per Woodward’s book, Robert O’Brien told Trump that coronavirus would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency.
