The claim he is childish and is lying but cannot tell us how and why.
Trump's tweet from Monday:
Quote:
"The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”
Grammatical errors aside, you have "childish" and "lying" all in one convenient tweet.
Typical. I wonder how the view is for Trump's apologists, with all their MAGA heads up their behinds?

1) DENY. Trump denied that Coronavirus is a problem, called it a hoax. Feb 25, Tump said Corononivus positives would go down from 15 to zero.
2) BLAME THE MEDIA. Trump has blamed the media for causing a frenzy over Coronavirus.
3) BLAME THE DEMOCRATS. Trump and his camp blamed the Democrats for wanting Coronavirus to spread and kill millions of Americans in order to hurt Trump. Don Jr said this last week. Trump blamed Obama for CDC testing rules .
4) TRUMP CLAIMS VICTIMHOOD. This thread is a perfect example. Stage 1 through 3 above haven't worked, so now Trump claims he is the victim of political and media attacks and that he has done perfect but nobody will give him credit now matter how good he did.
Beautiful. I'd rep you a thousand times over if I could.

You first. From your quote below, it's clear that you have done none of what you prescribe.

why do you say it is much more serious than the flu? Where is the research that claims that? The biggest difference seems to be the lack of a vaccine at this time.
Are you serious? Nevermind the raw statistics that flu kills 0.1% of those who contract it, compared with about 3% for COVID-19. I'm sure you know how to do simple division; try it for yourself.

I believe he said by April: the end of April is 6 weeks away: none or us know what the situation will be like in 6 weeks. Let's all hope he is close to right: maybe not on target but at least the worse is over by then.
No he said it will be "close to zero in a couple of days". That was on Feb 26.
Simple question for you. How should government deal with the nations finances if we see widespread infection from corona virus and a large scale shut down of our economy? A lot of people aren't going to be able to work and therefore will run out of money in short order. Do we go to rationing essentials and suspend all "money transactions"? Do we hand out "porkulous" money or cut taxes to zero (which won't be enough anyway)?
Health and safety come before the economy. It's well established that the virus is a pretty low risk for healthy people under 50 and becomes more and more dangerous for those above 60 and especially above 80. I think we should encourage the young to lead their lives normally except taking some extra precautions and the elderly to hide out until there is an antidote.
We will have to decouple ourselves from China when this is all over. We were much better off when China was weak and starving and only 1 parent from each household had to work. Americans will just have to learn to take care of their own **** again and not constantly buy cheap replacements for everything.
Wow.....wishing for another nations people to go back to starving......so that we can go back to gluttony. Its not proven that the virus organically originated in China. The greatest genetic diversity of the coronavirus, I have read ( I don't know that it is true) is the United States. You figure the rest out if that is true....and I am not saying that it is. It's just not proven that the virus developed in China. It seems to have spread from China, however. They could never find patient zero.
At this point....everybody is a suspect in regards to its origins.
The number of positive/ negative results provides factual evidence for community spread vs containment, which is the greatest risk, right now.
Its not just tests... NOW I am being told by someone in my HR that one of our employees is on 14 day self quarantine (no symptoms) because he was in direct contact with a symptomatic positive last Thursday.. well guess what?? We had a firm luncheon last week with buffet in a small conference room that he attended after his exposure... while the risk is low our firm has decided not to make this information known to employees. I cant say anything. ... How are we going to contain this???? Its another waiting game for me.... like I said yesterday, here in Westchester County (5 miles from New Rochelle) its like playing wack a mole... they have to come up with a better plan.
You do realize that a sick "illegal" can spread the virus to you and your family? It would rather see them isolated in the hospital and treated, and not preparing my food in a restaurant.
That wasn’t what I meant. I was talking about a triage situation like what is happening in Italy where the hospitals are full and doctors have to choose who gets a hospital bed.
