On March 5, the First Lady of the United States tweeted a picture of herself in a hardhat with the caption, “I am excited to share the progress of the Tennis Pavilion at @WhiteHouse. Thank you to the talented team for their hard work and dedication.” On March 5, Italy had already gone into lockdown. But that was not the end of Flotus’ many coronavirus gaffes. On March 10, the day Las Vegas shuttered all its buffets and Massachusetts declared a state of emergency, the first lady continued her coronavirus denial tour, giving a speech to National PTA Legislative Conference.
She mentioned a lot of things during that meandering speech but she did not mention the pandemic that was raging across the country. It wasn’t until March 11 that Flotus even acknowledged coronavirus, by tweeting.
