Q: What about the travel restrictions? President Trump keeps saying that the travel ban for China, which began 2 February, had a big impact [on slowing the spread of the virus to the United States] and that he wishes China would have told us three to four months earlier and that they were “very secretive.” [China did not immediately reveal the discovery of a new coronavirus in late December, but by 10 January, Chinese researchers made the sequence of the virus public.] It just doesn't comport with facts.
A: I know, but what do you want me to do? I mean, seriously Jon, let’s get real, what do you want me to do?
Q: Most everyone thinks that you’re doing a remarkable job, but you're standing there as the representative of truth and facts but things are being said that aren't true and aren't factual.
A: The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of a new coronavirus three to four months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesn't comport, because two or three months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, by the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don't say that. But I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let's try and get it corrected for the next time.
Q： 旅行限制怎么办？特朗普总统一直说，从2月2日开始的中国旅行禁令对（减缓病毒向美国传播的速度）有很大影响，他希望中国早在3到4个月前告诉我们，他们“非常秘密”。[中国没有立即透露在晚些时候发现了一种新的冠状病毒12月，但到了1月10日，中国研究人员公布了该病毒的序列。
A： 我知道，但你想让我怎么做？我是说，说真的，乔恩，让我们现实点，你想让我怎么做？
Q： 大多数人都认为你做了一件了不起的工作，但你站在那里作为事实和真相的代表，但人们说的事情不是真的，也不是事实。
A： 事情发生的方式是，在他发表这一声明（暗示中国可能在3到4个月前发现了一种新的冠状病毒）之后，我告诉相关人士，这不符合事实，因为两三个月前应该是9月。下次他们和他坐下来谈他要说什么的时候，顺便说一下，总统先生，他们会说，小心点，别那么说。但我不能跳到麦克风前把他推倒。好吧，他说了。让我们试着下次再纠正它。
