480,000 deaths

So, the infections are about a third of the U.S. population. As you hop off to church (like my elderly neighbors just did), jump on light rail, or rush to Walmart - let that sink in. We need to slow this down so as to not overload the hospitals. Avoid large crowds, work from home if you can and the elderly need to stay inside.
It's the flu, nothing worse. Get it?

Don't be concerned about that virus crap it is all just a hoax to make Trump look bad.

In fact, it is important you demonstrate you are not afraid.

Gather all your GOP friends and car pool to the event, better yet all get on a bus together. During the rally be sure to shake hands and have a few hot dogs prepared by workers with no health care.
Give it a break. This virus isn’t political and was caused by idiots in China eating bats. Nothing we could of done to prevent it. But keep playing your dumb games.

I think China is the bad guy here..probably not telling anyone until it was much too late.
I wouldn't be surprised. China is a chefhole country, though that expression doesn't play well any more.

There are no Trump rallies scheduled. I suspect he is headed to Florida to ride this out on a golf cart. The problem in that though is Trump does nothing for himself. He depends on an army of workers who live out there in the world for his every need. It's not like he is stockpiling toilet paper and canned soup. Sooner or later, these workers will bring the corona virus circulating in Florida to Mar a Lago and to the Trumps.

Ted Cruz noted that communications breakdowns surrounding the spreading illness are making the problem worse, accusing the media — “whether intentionally or not” — of inciting panic.

I bet his views will change now, it's a little too close for comfort at the moment.
