U.S. death toll from coronavirus hits 19, New York declares emergency

[URMySunshine]

The biggest demonstration of this administrations incompetence can be seen in the number of tests conducted in this and all other countries.  South Korea has tested almost 100 times more people than the US.  Everybody got the sequence of this virus the same day when China released it.  Why did it take so much longer for US to get testing going?  There are dozens of stories of patients and doctors who wanted these test available but could not get them. It's on his watch and way back he said it's just another sort of flu will go away in the Spring. Just as Katrina was the death knell for GWB's popularity, this may well be remembered as the beginning of the end of the reign of Trump.

I think you're going to be very disappointed. But thanks for at least making it clear why leftists are cheering for coronavirus to spread in the US. Believe me, we're not surprised.

Trump's restricting incoming air travel early and quickly has been helpful to the US. 

 

The numbers aren't remotely close to influenza outbreaks in the US.  It's blown way out proportion in the media.  Gotta tank that stock market to blame Trump.

How do you know what the numbers are, very few are being tested.

 

Are you of the trump mindset. Test no one then say its a hoax as there is no virus.

"“A lot of people will have this and it’s very mild. They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor, they don’t even call a doctor. You never hear about those people,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “So you can’t put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu and or virus. So you just can’t do that. So, if you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work. Some of them go to work, but they get better.”

The CDC advises people with COVID-19: “Do not go to work, school or public areas. Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing or taxis.”

"During a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta Friday, President Donald Trump stated his preference that passengers on a cruise ship in the waters off of California remain on the boat because their entry onto U.S. soil could make the country's coronavirus statistics increase."

Millions are infected by influenza in the US every year.  Tens of thousands die from it.

 

This corona stuff has been blown way out of proportion by a media seeking to hang it on Trump -- some way.   More foolishness.

How are you feeling about the "out of proportion" thing now?

[Jingthing]

Things of course have gotten worse in the US. More testing. more cases, more deaths. The fight continues. 

 

I recommend this article because it details both a best case and worst case scenario. Actions taken by individuals and government will help determine the severity level but there are also some elements of luck such as the possibility that the virus will weaken. 

 

Please read it to the end. Spoiler alert. There is a surprise there.

No. You're wrong. There is no single "the danger". There are plenty.

The lying traitors of the DEEP STATE who tried to overthrow the President in an illegal coup had been warning since January of the dire consequences for the USA from Covid. Good thing that Donald Trump knew better than to trust in their lies.

U.S. intelligence reports from January and February warned about a likely pandemic

From Donald Trump on Jan 22:

 “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

The only liar in this situation is China.  If they had sounded the alarm about the virus when it first broke out, then the world wouldn't be in this mess.

Really? So you mean Trump was telling the truth all through January and into early March? Did China buy up all the shares in the market of falsehoods?

What I'm saying is that if China was honest about the outbreak from the start, the virus would've been more or less been contained in Wuhan and not have caused a fraction of the economic damage that is has.  But it seems like you have a hard on for hating on Trump, so have it man, you do you

Right. When the facts are against you, go to motivation. That's the great thing about alleging motivation, there's no way to prove it's untrue. In fact, for those who have an allergy to facts, it's the only way to go. The fact is that despite China's lies, other countries accepted the seriousness of the threat as early as December. Their leaders certainly weren't making up the kind of stuff that Trump was or denying the existence of a threat..

I'm sure you'll be happy to back up that claim by citing support evidence from epidemiologists.
