    The whole China virus thing is a stupid attempt at a distraction to stir up his base of racists.

    This idiot never learns a damn thing and we are all F-ked.

    Republican idiots still. Don't. Get. It.

    Ron no good at math Johnson

    “But that means 97 to 99 percent will get through this and develop immunities and will be able to move beyond this. But we don’t shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. It’s a risk we accept so we can move about. We don’t shut down our economies because tens of thousands of people die from the common flu,” Johnson said.

    Hey dipshit, if 1 million Americans per month started dying on highways, overwhelming and destroying the healthcare system.

    GOVERNORS WOULD SHUT DOWN THE HIGHWAYS

    Also look at Italian highways these days. COVID19 shuts them down for you. It shuts down your economy for you.


    For ****s sake allowing 1% of Americans to die in a summer and plus who knows how how many more while permanently trashing our hospital system is not a viable option. You can't just let 3 to 9 million die in a cataclysmic summer ...so ****ing stupid

    Aren't you the brainiac that's been cheerleading for "chaos"? Why yes, yes you are-
    You'd be less of moron if you were just a straight up Trump supporter.

    Trump's response over the past 2 weeks has been fantastic. Marshaling resources from the public AND PRIVATE sectors, not just relying on government, was very smart. Innovative approaches like drive through testing is smart. Working hand-in-hand with Congress to get relief to workers is smart. Jawboning the Fed to lower interest rates WORKED - now at zero and QE programs launched. Appointing the Silver Fox himself, Mike Pence, was smart - Pence is doing a great job at handling the lunatic liberal mob of reporters with ease.

    Working together, in a bi-partisan fashion, we will conquer this threat. Liberals look small bad-mouthing Trump right now. They want the Wuhan Virus to be Trump's Katrina, but in fact it will lead to a surge in approval much like George W Bush right after 9-11.

    GOOD DAY

    I think any attention on trump at THIS point , is just wasted effort.

    he most certainly botched the initial response. Had we taken more precaution earlier the virus would not be spreading as quickly nor would the economy be cratering as precipitously .

    I think he takes it seriously now . And frankly , he doesn’t have as much power in this matter right now as do Local leaders and congress .

    while he is the “face” of the government , half the people don’t recognize him as a leader regardless.

    we can do all the b****ing we want after the fact about cut federal spending on agencies that probably would’ve helped mitigate this .... but right now that’s not productive .

    my gut feeling is the more we (and I mean everyone) focuses on trump then the less we get done .

    Trump really doesn’t strike me as the type to get his hands too dirty . I think the only thing he meddled in was trying to prop up the markets last week . But by then it was already too late. I don’t think he downplayed it because he’s an evil Republican .... I think he downplayed because he’s what ? 75 ?

    There are a few old people that are still sharp and can keep up with modern technology and thinking .... but not many . I don’t think DT is one of them .

    From a FOXnews.com article on spring breakers partying on beaches:

    SMDH at "different opinions." What expert isn't telling people they should be avoiding others?!

    One other item: My wife tells me they're predicting up to 3,500,000 deaths in Iran from this because the US is blocking aid. Even now.

    Did your industrialist friends pull out of the market Pre-Hoax or are you riding high on the “confidence” uncut and unfiltered?

    Yes thank you for not testing and spreading the virus. This is almost criminal. Idiot in chef will cost so many lives because of his refusal to ramp up testing in the beginning

    haha, WH asks reporter to name who called the virus Kung Flu (which still makes me chuckle), reporter won't do it, obviously because she made the whole thing up. There is no reason not to say who it was.

    These are not true numbers since there are so many that have not been tested, so there is no way that you can say the US doing better..

    Look, goofus, they are NOT the same. If you really think so, you are both clueless and delusional. That's quite a combination. With all due respect.

    Hell, you can't even spell Hillary.

    Apparently this is a hot ticket item on white nationalist sites - where there is a huge rise in Anti-Asian bigotry and they are all calling it the "China Virus" just like Trump. I guess that's where you guys get it from?

    Also it wasn't made up.

    I honestly believe this is a stupid ass question to ask at this moment. At this point who gives a sh** what they call it. I was honestly saddened by PBS for asking this stupid question. We need to be looking at preventing the spread and stopping the spread. Arguing semantics is so ****ing stupid at this point that news reporters wasting breath on it is dangerous. Argue that in the election. Right now we need total partnership from everyone. Tell him he is a **** president in August. We have to work together now.

    Louisiana pastor defies a state order and holds a church service with hundreds of people

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/us/louisiana-pastor-coronavirus/index.html

    Where did he get that from? If anyone gets the virus from this pastor then he needs to be charged to the fullest extent of the law.

    unsolicited corroboration that Trump has been sleeping on the job, as the first case of CoronaVirus in the US was in late Jan 2020, https://www.usnews.com/news/nationa...he-spread-of-coronavirus-in-the-united-states

    • On Jan. 22, asked by a CNBC reporter whether there were “worries about a pandemic,” the president replied: “No, not at all. We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

    • On Feb. 26, at a White House news conference, commenting on the country’s first reported cases: “We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”

    • as recently as Feb 2020 Trump was calling the COVID_19 a hoax perpetuate by the Dems

    Trader_Jorge would be better-informed to read the first post of this thread
