And, just when you think American journalists cant go any lower, BOOM, they do lol!

Do you have any proof that grandpa Trump died of Spanish Flu? And, please no endless list of links that simply claim he did.

His death certificate says he died of pneumonia, something else I can't read but its definitely not Spanish flu, flu, or influenza and a complication of nephritis.

Maybe he did die of Spanish Flu and the doctor didn't know that, but there is no proof unless we dig grandpa up.

Further, if the doctor didn't know, what makes you think that Trumps grandmother, father and other family members knew or thought he died from Spanish Flu. If they didn't know, why would Trump?

Yeah, sure that's why he convened a task force back in January.

Why do you immediately disbelieve a news story when it comes out? Maybe a little research of your own might help you be more informed. Journalists don't make things up. If they were good at making things up, they would be novelists and write a best seller.

Don’t you guys ever get tired of being wrong? All I’ve heard for the last 3.5 years is, “this is the end of his presidency!”

One thing is fairly certain - the cruise ship business is probably down the toilet for quite a while if not permanently. Who in his right mind would get on one of those things? They are a floating Petri dish and were before this breakout.

I personally know someone who was working on this in the White House in January.

They weren't the only one.

They were all working 12-16 hour days.

The person I know was there at 3AM waiting to brief the Chief of Staff on their relevant issue.

I know for a fact that the President was being briefed.

You can believe what you want to, but I know for a fact that the Pres was being briefed.

There has been a crap load of news of new cases being reports but the major news networks are not talking about them

New case in St Louis 20 year female returned for Italy she should have stayed put for another 8 weeks or so

New case in Kansas City

Houston is report 8 to 10 cases with like another 50+ people that possibly have it

Cruise ship off the coast of Long Beach quarantined with one case

Trump should ground international fights in both directions and stop cruise ship for 8 to 10 weeks but he is to stupid to do it

Every should basically be stay in there home area nobody for be going a decent distance for 8 to 10 weeks till the out breaks slow way down

Hmm.......I think you meant to say the CDC couldn't get the tests out.

I agree the career officials at the CDC left over from prior administrations seem to have dropped the ball big time.

If that is proven to be the case, then hopefully at the right time Trump will do some major housecleaning at the CDC and possibly the FDA.
