January 31 - Speaking at a campaign town hall in Iowa shortly after the Trump Administration announced restrictions on travel from China, Biden brought up the coronavirus and suggests President Trump is not acting “rationally.” “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia - hysterical xenophobia - and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science,” says Biden.

A lot of us get the flu, but serious cases that cause mortality tend to be focused on the elderly and those with other chronic diseases.”
February 20 - Biden Public Health Advisory Committee member Dr. Zeke Emanuel said, “People recognized that this is a serious public health problem requiring serious attention and that it could become a much more serious health issue. But, at the moment, most people are thinking that there may be a bit of an overreaction by many, maybe even our own country. If you look at the numbers dispassionately, there are just over 1,000 cases outside of China. Half of them are on that cruise ship in Japan. So, considering the world's population of more than 7 billion people, that’s not a lot.”
February 27 - Top Biden advisor Ron Klain said, “Here’s one more thing everyone should do.
They should, tonight, go down to Chinatown in their city and buy dinner or go shopping there.
[/b] What we see inevitably, what we’re seeing already, is … people staying away out of needless fears about coronavirus.”
