the creation of the task force should be considered a success

Not sure I'd consider creating a task force a success.

Mr. President, you're doing an outstanding job! Drive on!

As the President said, other nations are not required to like us, but they will respect us.

He appears to have chosen very competent, intelligent professionals.

Did you expect him to use his personal expertise in fighting this, or to wisely delegate the problem to those with the pertinent professional knowledge?

The author writes somewhat poorly. I believe his meaning was the effectiveness of having the task force to date has been positive.

Coronavirus is likely a product of a Chinese laboratory - in Wuhan

Its their Chernobyl.

I think it was Washington State, not Washington DC

Obama would have created a task force of muslims, trans, women and asians that would have done nothing but eat at the best restaurants, have meetings and send out press releases as they pretend to do something.

Thanks for the calm, thought out response Mr. President. I have Chinese coworkers who have no choice but to stay here in the U.S. until further notified. The dutifully wear there masks, and avoid shaking our hands. My prayers are for them, and my Country that there is a swift, and safe resolution to this Flu. If it takes mutual cooperation between our countries as President Trump has shown we can do. I’m all for it. By the way. They don’t seem to have a problem hanging out in the U.S. until the all clear is givin.

new info indicates it is aerosolized. this is bad news.

so the cruise ship will give a great many clues as this proceeds. the majority should get it. if they don’t...find out why a person didn’t get it.

While this provision contains a number of exceptions—family members of U.S. citizens and foreign nationals working on flight crews, for instance, are exempted—some commentators have criticized it as too harsh a response.

If anyone ever needed more proof that globalists want us to die en-masse.

[Jamestown1630]

A lot of people simply have stronger immune systems than others. I don’t know that there’s a way to effectively study that, as opposed to what might be some genetic strength or weakness in some people with regard to this virus.

There was an article recently about the lung tissue of men, and Asian people in general (I can’t find a date for the source study, and it seems to be another pre-print on biorxiv.org):

(I’m not a scientist.)

[PghBaldy]

Given we’ve only known of this new disease a few weeks, it is sort of early to declare a success (or failure) yet.

[RummyChick]

I think this will target certain ethnicities harder than others. That is not to say others can’t get it.

Too many factors are unknown.

I have certain traits that are common to Asians. I might be more susceptible even though am a Caucasian type of thing.

I might be more prone to catch it by standing in vicinity of spreader while you might stand there and it doesn’t effect you.

I say take precautions just like you should for the flu as we await to see how bad it is.

[hardspunned]

I was reassured when I saw the task force. The only qualification needed seemed to be competency, not diversity.

[Jamestown1630]

I think you are correct - sensible precautions, with frequent and thorough hand washing utmost.

(And don’t let ourselves succumb to fear and panic. That plays hell on the immune system as well on our ability to function in a crisis.)

[hardspunned]

I saw something similar to your article. It stated the same theory and correlated the same to infection and death rates during the SARS epidemic.

[Jamestown1630]

'competency, not diversity'.

I think that's a hallmark of the Trump Era :-) Warren, for instance, would have a 'transperson' in charge - just for the pandering and optics of it, and regardless of competency.

A cruise ship with some possibly infected folks docked about 20 minutes from my house in Bayonne.

If I stop showing up keep up the fight.

And don’t touch any of my posts on the screen.

One can’t be too careful.
