Under Trump, America is less prepared for a coronavirus outbreak
CNN ^ | Feb. 20, 2020 | Opinion by Chelsea Clinton and Devi Sridhar

The coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan, China, last year is causing alarm across the world, with fear that this could become the next pandemic. Late last month, the World Health Organization declared the virus, named COVID-19, a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and urged an immediate international response.

It advised its member states to put in place national preparedness plans and procedures for identifying and responding to any COVID-19 cases that might present. The death toll of more than 2,600 people far exceeds that of the SARS outbreak nearly 17 years ago.

Maybe if he directs that people be welded into their house and apartments they will think he is doing enough. How about declaring martial law and shooting violators on sight? Will that be enough? How about if he directs to stockpile say, 3 billion masks and goggles that will mostly never be used? What else can we think of? What do Chelsea and Mittens think we should do?

Maybe he can name a corona virus czar to to as little as the one dorkobama named. How about that? Will that make us all feel good?

This whole thing is nucking futs.

Using political reasoning for everything says “I don’t care about you people... I’m using this for my own political career”. Disease, anything goes.... bash Trump... use everything that comes down the pike... for your benefit!

I cannot stand to see Bernie and his wagging finger/hand with every word he says! can’t someone tell him to tie his hands down?
Well, I can’t stand Bernie anyway, anywhere, anyhow.

So, we should have listened to the people that can’t run a caucus in Iowa, can’t run a caucus in Nevada, can’t stop cheating, lying or stealing?

Heck, Trump told American industry to get out of Red China six months ago? Which Democrat or Establishment Republican could have called that?

One of the first people that President Trump consulted was Dr. Anthony Fauci who was head of the NIH and is a world expert in pandemics. Fauci told him it was very likely that the COVID-19 outbreak would die off on its own when the weather warms up similar to other flu viruses. The plan is to prevent any significant outbreak in this country before May and then work on a vaccine for next year. This sounds pretty reasonable.

If Fauci’s prediction is accurate I wonder if all these people will thank President Trump for using his magical powers to stop the virus.

Theory: China, pissed at Trump for getting the better of them in the trade deal and in general for causing their economy to tank unleashed this virus with the intent to go after the US economy. Trump was way ahead of them and shut down the borders before it could get here but before it was generally known it was out. He also managed to get it exported to Iran. Other nations, like SK and Italy have been briefed on how to beat it and that’s why they took such drastic action so quick.

In a pandemic large centralized populations are hit hardest.

Think of all the Democratic-run sanctuary cities with large homeless populations.

Even a mild outbreak would send the city into a panic. Guess who would riot and destroy their own neighborhoods in the name of "justice"?

If the virus explodes by November, there may be few people to vote for the Democratic candidate.

More people have died from the flu, and its 20 times more deadly. Why isn’t this dumb bitch whining about how we are unprepared for that?
