A medical division of The State Dept , run by a Obama left over named Dr. William Walters is the man responsible for allowing all the people on the Diamond Princess to leave the ship and disburse across the country. Trump did not know the infected people were going to be allowed to go home.. As you will remember, Trump had a quarantine site set up, I think in Alaska, for all Diamond Princess people to stay until deemed healthy. Don't blame Trump.

Here is a link to an article that talks about regular flu deaths in the 2019/2020 winter. As of February, 16,000 people had died of other flu strains this winter alone! Where was all the hype and hysteria? Sadly, CV-19 will take out more people, that is what the flu and other viruses do. If one positive is coming out of all of this, it is that people may finally start to realize how serious viruses are and start practicing proper hygiene. As soon as summer is here, they will all forget.

Well, the CDC is definitely NOT sensationalizing things, and they are telling people that this is a developing situation, it is serious and that we need to change behaviors and take precautions to head off the worst possible outcomes.

If you want to say that any consideration of issues is unwarranted if there are larger causes of death, why did we even worry about the 9/11 attacks then? Far more people die of flu, car accidents and gunshot wounds every year in the US. According to you, we should have just shrugged at 9/11, right?

And the #1 national priority isn't making Trump look good. The #1 priority is trying to protect the health and lives of the American people.

How Biogen’s Strategy Meeting Spread Coronavirus in Massachusetts and Beyond
A strategy meeting for senior managers at Boston-area biotech Biogen Inc. late last month has emerged as a hotbed for novel coronavirus infections, resulting in more than two dozen around the country so far, according to public-health and company officials.

The spread of coronavirus infections from the meeting highlights the potential dangers in going ahead with the gatherings and conferences that are a staple of conducting business but which also threaten to amplify epidemics.

Remember Trump originally offering billion and taking funds from the Ebola response, he didn’t take this seriously.

Your story doesn't match what Kaldec -- Trump's appointee says.
