Every day is valuable during a crisis. We should be doing everything to produce as much medical equipment as possible RIGHT NOW. We just can't assume we can wait a week and then catch up. Who knows what the situation will be like a week from now.
And Pelosi, off the rails, "leads" her party into hell itself.

What may I ask did YOU do?
If he wasn't able to understand it, WHY THE HECK WAS HE ELECTED PRESIDENT? It's the President's JOB to understand threats like that.

We have a moron in the White House.

You have the root of the problem right there. He doesn't understand stuff. It's too late to "understand" a tornado once your house is reduced to rubble.

There is still no action now. No grounding of the entire airline industry. Why isn't the Federal mask stockpile distributed?

Saying "he gets it now" is where you go wrong. This is like saying your 4 year old understands it now. He or she may parrot what you are saying, but they don't understand in the classic sense,.

Trump is an empty shell. He will never cry and never laugh (except when insulting someone).

I don't expect you to understand that....the millions who believed in preachers and cult leaders and such....they never understood it either.

You can only measure using your own biased mind. He meets your standards. But, then again, he always did. At the minimum you should self reflect and ask yourself why...

Dollars to donuts you were defending him when, according to you, he didn't get it. If I am wrong point me to your posts saying he was killing us by not understanding?

I can't even begin to care what they might think about anything.....your kid getting shot doesn't make your opinion more valid or correct. It doesn't make your temper tantrum mean anything.

You might as well say that a random homeless person screaming at clouds doesn't approve. It would mean the EXACT same thing to me.

Default Coronavirus Panic - Ulterior Motives?

Take common sense health precautions, but don’t let biased news scare you.

Consider these facts:

1) Some panic from biased reporting on Italy being overwhelmed - but they leave out important facts. In the last 2 decades, Italy has drastically reduced hospitals & beds (from 268,057 to 192,548), they have an unusually high elderly population & the vast majority of coronavirus deaths had pre-existing diseases.

2) Coronavirus is likely over-reported. “Coronavirus, according to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, is a part of all viruses, and 8% to 15% of viruses are coronavirus, so that will show up in testing. This is especially the case when testing the already sick and dying, the old and infirmed, and this kind of testing would be far different than random population tests. In other words, if testing is set up to test sick people, up to 15% will show coronavirus.”

3) Government orders & ordinances have been passed that say those who gather in groups greater than 10 may be arrested. Not only is this violating US Constitutional 1st amendment rights, Congress is meeting this week & so are other government groups of +10. If this were so essential, they wouldn’t congregate either, but they are. They make rules but only expect “commoners” to follow them?

4) Each year, the seasonal flu kills way more than this coronavirus, and most survive fine without panic.
2019-2020 US deaths:
Seasonal flu: 59,000
Coronavirus: 414

These are the facts. Supporting links below.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden...-estimates.htm

Are there ulterior motives for this over-the top reactions to coronavirus?
If so, what are they?

One must subscribe to read the article from the Washington Post. Are you offering to pay since you promote education of others smartey pants.

Everything you posted is made up and has nothing to do with policy. Something you refuse to discuss because the big government you support is a failure. It sounds like something a kid would say while stomping their feet.
Informed people understand that.
