Later on May 13, the Associated Press reported that the CDC had also written guidance on lifting restrictions, which was not released to the public. The CDC's recommendations were more specific and more restrictive than the White House's recommendations. The White House plan recommended that "non-essential travel can resume" after 28 continuous days of decreasing COVID-19 cases, whereas the CDC plan stated that resuming non-essential travel will only be under "consideration" after 42 consecutive days of decreasing COVID-19 cases. The CDC plan recognized that COVID-19 cases would likely surge when restrictions are lifted, and local authorities would need to stringently monitor their communities, but the White House plan did not. The White House plan offered non-specific recommendations to protect "workers in critical industries" and "the most vulnerable", whereas the CDC plan recommended using demographic information to find out where COVID-19 cases are more likely to increase faster.<a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> On April 20, Fauci warned that the protests against stay-at-home orders could "backfire" if a spike in cases followed an early lifting of restrictions. Fauci argued against the protests, stating that "unless we get the virus under control, the real recovery, economically, is not gonna happen."<a href="#cite_note-162">[162]</a> On May 1, Trump described Michigan protesters against stay-at-home orders as "very good people" who are "angry".

It sought White House approval to publish the guidelines, anticipating a publication date of May 1. The document was called the "Guidance for Implementing the Opening Up America Again Framework." However, the White House <a href="/wiki/Office_of_Information_and_Regulatory_Affairs" title="Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs">Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs</a> (OIRA) told the CDC they could not publish it. The White House asked for the document to state more directly "when" to reopen and "how" to safeguard health; they did not want the decision trees that addressed whether to reopen. Part of the CDC's document (17 pages)<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> was leaked on May 7, and the rest was identified on May 8.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a><a href="#cite_note-167">[167]</a> After Anthony Fauci warned against reopening schools too fast, President Trump responded on May 13 that he was "surprised" by Fauci's comments, stating that "it's not an acceptable answer". He accused Fauci of wanting "to play all sides of the equation". Trump declared that "schools are going to be open", while "the only thing that would be acceptable" is to delay the return of older educators for a few weeks. Trump declared that students were "in great shape" and the statistics for them regarding COVID-19 were "pretty amazing". Trump acknowledged that "something" may happen to students, but asserted that: "You can be driving to school and some bad things can happen too."<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a><a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> On July 8, Trump declared an intent to pressure state governors into ensuring that schools would be open to in-person classes for the next semester and "cut off funding" if they didn't, alleging that Democrats wanted to keep schools closed for political reasons going into the election. Trump also criticized the CDC's guidelines for schools as being "very tough and expensive". During the day's briefing, Mike Pence subsequently announced that the CDC would "[issue] a new set of tools, five different documents that will be giving even more clarity on the guidance going forward." The next day, CDC director <a href="/wiki/Robert_Redfield" title="Robert Redfield">Robert Redfield</a> stated that these documents would be supplemental to its existing guidelines, denying accusations that they were to be modified outright due to pressure from Trump.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a><a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a><a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> In August, <a href="/wiki/Scott_Atlas" title="Scott Atlas">Scott Atlas</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Neuroradiology" title="Neuroradiology">neuroradiologist</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Hoover_Institution" title="Hoover Institution">Hoover Institution</a>, became a White House pandemic adviser.

Also that day, CDC director Robert Redfield inaccurately claimed that the Obama administration had modified policy to start regulating laboratory-developed tests. In actuality, the policy in question had never been modified by the Obama administration, despite plans to do so. The policy's <a href="/wiki/Project_Bioshield_Act" title="Project Bioshield Act">overall legal roots date to 2004</a>, before the Obama administration. Under the umbrella of <a href="/wiki/Emergency_Use_Authorization" title="Emergency Use Authorization">Emergency Use Authorizations</a>, the old policy stated that laboratory-developed tests "should not be used for clinical diagnoses without FDA's approval, clearance, or authorization during an emergency declaration". However, this policy was historically treated as a recommendation and generally unenforced, with no clear legal authority of the FDA in this area. The Trump administration continued to require laboratories to apply to the FDA for approval, but allowed the laboratories to test while the FDA processed the applications.<a href="#cite_note-20200306politifact-200">[200]</a><a href="#cite_note-201">[201]</a> On March 5, Vice President Mike Pence, the leader of the coronavirus response team, acknowledged that "we don't have enough tests" to meet the predicted future demand; this announcement came only three days after <a href="/wiki/FDA" class="mw-redirect" title="FDA">FDA</a> commissioner <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Hahn_(oncologist)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stephen Hahn (oncologist)">Stephen Hahn</a> committed to producing nearly a million tests by that week.<a href="#cite_note-202">[202]</a> The next day, Pence was contradicted by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, who said that: "There is no testing kit shortage, nor has there ever been".<a href="#cite_note-203">[203]</a> Also on March 6, Trump over-promised on the availability of COVID-19 testing in the United States, claiming that: "Anybody that wants a test can get a test."

During that discussion, Trump repeatedly quizzed the leaders of pharmaceutical companies on the time needed to produce vaccines, stating "I like the sound of a couple of months better".

When crowd booed, he made another statement in favor of vaccines: "I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. But it is working."

As a result, the White House denied that Trump was firing Fauci, and blamed the media for overreacting.<a href="#cite_note-311">[311]</a><a href="#cite_note-312">[312]</a> Nonetheless, Fauci dialed back his television appearances in May.<a href="#cite_note-313">[313]</a> On July 1, Trump retweeted an unscientific social media poll by the organization <a href="/wiki/ACT!_for_America" class="mw-redirect" title="ACT! for America">ACT! for America</a> in which Twitter users, given the binary choice, had claimed to trust Trump over Fauci.<a href="#cite_note-314">[314]</a> In late April, Trump's adviser and son-in-law, <a href="/wiki/Jared_Kushner" title="Jared Kushner">Jared Kushner</a>, declared that in response to the pandemic, "the federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story." Kushner's claims were ridiculed by officials of previous administrations, who stated that the roughly 60,000 U.S. deaths at the time could not be called a success. In other remarks, Kushner stated that people should not be questioning why the testing system took so long to set up, but rather ask: "How did we do this so quickly?"<a href="#cite_note-315">[315]</a> Also in late April, Trump was asked if he had ignored warnings about COVID-19 in January and February from his intelligence advisers. Trump defended his own response to the pandemic by falsely claiming that Anthony Fauci in late February said the coronavirus outbreak was "no problem" and was "going to blow over". In fact, Fauci had on February 29 said that "this is an evolving situation", "now the risk is still low, but this could change ... when you start to see community spread", and that "this could be a major outbreak".<a href="#cite_note-316">[316]</a> In late May, Trump was interviewed about a <a href="/wiki/Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a> study that concluded that nearly 36,000 deaths in the U.S. could have been prevented with earlier social distancing measures or earlier lockdowns. Trump said that he "saw that report", describing it as a "disgrace", and claimed that the Columbia University was a "liberal, disgraceful institution to write that because all the people that they cater to were months after me", citing his travel restriction on foreigners coming from China.<a href="#cite_note-317">[317]</a> Also in late May, Trump wrote in the same tweet that there were simultaneously "no credit" and "great reviews on our handling" of COVID-19.<a href="#cite_note-318">[318]</a> During the 2020 election season, Trump was "distracted" and the White House was "somewhat complacent," according to Deborah Birx, former coronavirus response coordinator for the White House, when she was later interviewed by congressional investigators in October 2021. Speaking at a time when the U.S. death toll had exceeded 700,000, she said that better messaging about public health might have prevented 130,000 American deaths.<a href="#cite_note-319">[319]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Travel_bans_and_xenophobia_allegations">Travel bans and xenophobia allegations</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Communication_of_the_Trump_administration_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Travel bans and xenophobia allegations">edit</a>]</div> On January 31, 2020, Trump announced an executive order that would <a href="/wiki/Travel_restrictions_related_to_the_2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic" class="mw-redirect" title="Travel restrictions related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic">restrict</a> entry into the country by foreign nationals who had recently visited China.

Biden made a Twitter post with a similar statement the next day.

He also claimed: "Everybody thought it was just unnecessary to do it." In early May, Trump stated that when he implemented the travel restrictions on China: "I was criticized by everybody, including Dr. Fauci ... When I closed the border to China, he disagreed with that." Trump's claims are false, according to the Associated Press and Slate: health secretary Alex Azar said on February 7 that the travel restrictions on China were recommended by the administration's health officials, specifically naming Fauci as one of them. Azar said that he and Trump had accepted the recommendation. According to reporting by The New York Times, Fauci and Robert Redfield had agreed to the travel restrictions on January 30, while according to The Wall Street Journal, Trump was "reluctant" to implement the restrictions, and had to be persuaded by Azar.<a href="#cite_note-SaletanMay14-46">[46]</a><a href="#cite_note-326">[326]</a> On April 1, Trump claimed that the United States had taken action "far earlier than anyone would have thought and way ahead of anybody else"; at least 11 countries had already imposed travel restrictions on China before the United States announced its restrictions on January 31 (one day after the WHO declared COVID-19 a <a href="/wiki/Public_Health_Emergency_of_International_Concern" class="mw-redirect" title="Public Health Emergency of International Concern">Public Health Emergency of International Concern</a>), but they did not take effect until February 2.
