MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Joe Scarborough claimed Tuesday that "everybody" saw the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic coming".

“We’ve heard that nobody could’ve seen this coming. The fact is, everybody saw this coming. Everybody saw this coming in early January,” Scarborough said.

In fact, the first mention of the novel virus on “Morning Joe,” was in an interview with the show’s “medical contributor” who said Americans should be much more worried about the seasonal flu.

“Americans do not need to panic. The Chinese are already panicking, as they should, because this virus is spreading all through the Central parts of China. And, it’s a new virus, it has never been seen before, so, its mechanism of spreading is not quite known yet. What I would suggest, however, is that Americans take this as a wake-up call for seasonal flu,” said Dr. Dave Campbell.

Campbell suggested Americans should not be scared of the coronavirus as the seasonal flu is likely to kill more people.

“We are not out of the flu season, we have already had 15 million cases of the flu in the U.S., 140,000 hospitalizations. 54 children have died, almost as many as have died from the novel coronavirus,” Campbell said. “We don’t need to be overly concerned yet in the United States about the novel coronavirus.”
