    Actions and statements that lead to actual delays that were more consequential: 1. It's China's problem - we don't have any cases here 2. It's a hoax 3. It's no worse than the flu 4. Getting a qPCR test that actually works 5. Just washing your hands is best defense against COVID-19 6. Masks don't do any good 7. It's not airborne 8. Just treat with hydroxychloroquine 9. Just wait til the summer it'll stop 10. Contact tracing - let the states do it 11. Supplies - let the states get them 12. Vaccine - who cares?
