It's a killer now? A couple of weeks ago, it was an overblown flu, merely just an attempt to sabotage Dear Leader.

Who's in over his head so deep, his hat is floating. Governors, CEOs, mayors have stepped up. Because there was no leadership from Washington. "Democratic hoax", remember?

The one honest statement we've had is this: "I don't take responsibility at all." We know, Donny. You never have. You never will. And neither will your cultists.

You guys are desperate to not learn the bad news. It's cringe-worthy to watch.

It was good the viewing audience could see the howling jackals in the briefing room and how the VP and medical professionals were calm and patient in dealing with them.

More and more people are turned off (and turning off) Fake News.

The Trump administration refused Coronavirus test kits from the World Health Organization!

Quote:
By the end of February, the World Health Organization had shipped tests to nearly 60 countries.
Quote:
The United States was not among them.

Quote:
Why the United States declined to use the WHO test, even temporarily as a bridge until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could produce its own test, remains a perplexing question and the key to the Trump administration’s failure to provide enough tests to identify the coronavirus infections before they could be passed on, according to POLITICO interviews with dozens of viral-disease experts, former officials and some officials within the administration’s health agencies.
How testing failures allowed coronavirus to sweep the U.S.

Testing early on is good because you can still trace back. But once you get too many getting sick you can no longer trace back. That is what happened in Korea.
The US is a very large country...we need to know where we are most vulnerable and take appropriate measures in those areas much like China focused on Wuhan Province. Testing does not treat nor contain the virus but it can give us critical information where to allocate this country's resources.

Trump just can't stick to the cards. He always has to embellish/lie to make himself or his administration sound better than they are.
BS is is all this guy knows how to do.

Yes, it's sad to see many Loony Leftists realize Trump will be re-elected.

I was impressed with Ben Carson coughing, touching his face, and touching his nose while he spoke. Yep. We are in good hands folks!

Exactly. How many posts here about how this is no worse than the flu? How many people claiming this is all a liberal media hyped up event that is going to pass in a few days or weeks? How many people here claiming that because our numbers are so low (now!) that we are all panicking for nothing?

Why should they think anything different when the numbers we are showing as confirmed infected is woefully under reported because we actually have no clue? It looks, to the ignorant--of which there are many on this site--that it's much ado about nothing, so they won't take it seriously and self-quarantine or do anything to help containment. Why should they? They see nothing from this government to contradict their beliefs.

And thus, the spread will continue...
