On March 11, Melania Trump took to Twitter to share an update about COVID-19 and said, “Our great country is fighting hard against the #Coronavirus. This nation is strong & ready & we will overcome. Please take action to prevent further spread.” Melania also added the website for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While this was all fine and good, people on Twitter called out the first lady for her delay in responding to COVID-19.
One Twitter user wrote, “Where was this weeks ago? All I heard was blaming Democrats. Testing is needed and we are behind the 8 ball. The blame rests squarely on trumps.” Another person called out Trump through Melania, pointing out the slow response from the White House in general by asking, “Why is Donald Trump implementing a 30 day European travel ban now?? #coronavirus is already here, he should have taken this seriously weeks ago.”
According to Political Flare, many on Twitter are asking Melania to use her influence to get more access to testing. “If you care at all about the well being of the people your husband serves,” one person tweeted, “Then tell him we need more testing for the virus. 8 test conducted by CDC in one day is not enough. We need accurate testing. Be your best and do what is right. Demand covid-19 test be made available now.”
