2000 – Y2K is going to destroy EVERYTHING
2001 – Anthrax is going to kill us all
2002 – West Nile Virus is going to kill us all
2003 – SARS is going to kill us all
2005 – Bird Flu is going to kill us all
2006 – E.coli is going to kill us all
2008 – Financial Collapse is going to kill us all
2009 – Swine Flu is going to kill us all
2012 – The Mayan calendar predicts the world is ending
2013 – North Korea is going to cause WWIII
2014 – Ebola Virus is going to kill us all
2015 – ISIS is going to kill us all
2016 – Zika Virus is going to kill us all
2020 – Corona Virus is going to kill us all
The truth is FEAR is killing you…Turn off the TV, pray, trust God…and wash your handsJ

The answer is no and because China makes most of them, we will not receive any in the near future either.

Time to bring this manufacturing back to the US like Trump has told us the last 3 years.

I have a question.
By shutting everything down, how is that helping in the long run? Canceling all these events for 30 to 90 days then go back to normal again. Are "they" hoping that the virus will be stop spreading? I get that canceling large gatherings help stop spreading the virus. But that doesn't mean it will not pick up again once we are back to normal again. Right?

Trump has approved a new test that is ten times faster!

The virus is already here, it’s now about mitigation and slowing infection rates so our healthcare system doesn’t melt down because of a surge.

We don’t want tents in hospital parking lots, it needs to be kept manageable.

The hope is that people who have it will get better and stop spreading the virus. That means fewer people will have it at the end of the 3 weeks. The idea is to not have everyone sick at the same time because the hospitals can't handle that many people at once.

No Joe, we don't need a "plan". We need a vaccine.

All this cancelling of events and stopping travel should have happened back in January.

This is all reactive action now...too late as this horse is out of the gate and running wild.

I assume Joe has a plan?! Give me a break!

I am so GLAD that Trump banned traveling from China, if we had a Democrat president, we would have been like Italy maybe two weeks ago!!!

As if the testing kit was Trump's fault.

Dr. Fauci has said traveling ban definitely worked, it saved us a lot of time, I guess we should all listen to Joe biden, but not Dr. fauci, give me a break!

If we don't practice social distancing, no matter how many damn testing kits we have, we are not going to solve the problem. As a matter of fact, if you can manage your symptoms at home, don't go to the hospital!!!
The most important thing is that:

1. If you are sick, stay your ass at home

2. If you don't need to get on the airplane to save your life, then don't get on the airplane

Why people don't understand this is beyond me!
