January 31: The Department of Homeland Security took critical steps to funnel all flights from China into just 7 domestic U.S. airports.

President Trump was challenged at Monday's coronavirus press briefing for the way his administration has responded to the coronavirus crisis. CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid pressed Trump for playing a video during the briefing criticizing the media for their reaction while praising his own handling of the crisis. The president admonished Reid a "disgrace" and a "fake" and said the media has a low "approval rating."

"What did you do with the time that you bought?" Reid asked. "The video has a complete gap in the month of February."

"Are these rants supposed to make people feel confident?" Reid later asked.

"Look, look, you know you're a fake. You know that. Your whole network, the way you cover it is fake. And most of you--and not all of you, but the people are wise to you. That's why you have a lower--a lower approval rating than you ever had before times probably three," Trump said.
