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

Posted on 02/25/2020 7:35:12 PM PST by The_Media_never_lie

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.

Sure - President Trump's work to control our borders is just the wrong course of action to take to prevent this contagion from entering our Country. The Open borders pitched by the Democrats would have squished this bug in its tracks...Makes sense...

Besides, if President had done more - the Dems would surely have found a Federal Judge to stop whatever actions he took.

The Dems are worse than useless. They'll take anything and (along with their Media toadies who sing from the same hymnal) and try to turn it into something that they can use to smear President Trump. They don't give a damn about this Nation - nor this Wuhan flu. They care only about something they can use to fling at the President.
The Dems and the Media are just a cadre of dissemblers and liars.

One of the first attempts to politicize the virus. I do not think Chelsea is gifted enough to have written this; she must have just signed off on it

That girl is as dumb as a box of hair......bet she’s running for office and knowing the voters in parts of New Yawk, she’ll prolly win. Momma says so........;(

PING

propaganda article was done in conjunction with Dem Congressional refusal to fulfill Trump’s supplemental budget request today for money to prepare for, and minimize, the coronavirus in the U.S.

Remember this if you're still alive for the next election.

"Why on Earth didn’t the Democrats warn us about the virus?"

The real question is why the democrats didn't care whether or not we're prepared for such a thing. The head of HHS is the same guy that was in charge when SARS ran amok and he's never made a peep about relying on China for medical disposables and most of our antibiotics. Or is he the only Republican Obama decided not to replace with a loyal democrat?

I don’t know exactly what she is teaching in her health class but apparently her PhD is in international relations. Her dissertation was a study of The Global Fund work on HIV infections, or, in other words, a study of a bureaucracy.

The Democrats were unable to warn us....because they were so busy with impeachment.

However, the only real way to control this...is a massive shutdown of airports and cruise-ships...for at least a month. I don’t see anyone willing to go that far.

I read a business piece today that between 10 and 20 million small business operations in China are looking at bankruptcy unless this settles in the next month.

If this winds up killing far less than seasonal flue, we’ll have two choice to make next flu season.

We’ll either have to take a deep breath and face flu season like we always have, or we’ll have to quarantine the nation for about 3-6 months and then pick up the pieces.

I’m thinking we should treat this like the flu, and get on with our lives.

I agree!

The Asian Flu epidemic, here, in the fall of 1957 killed some, but was SO wide spread, in some places, that whole schools were shut down. But AFAIK, nobody had hysterics over it!

When my mother was a little girl, Whooping Cough was rampant. Houses with those who had it were under quarantine, with tape across the front door and a sign posted that Whooping Cough was present within. There were NO anti-biotics, no vaccine prevention, and almost 200,000 Americans got it a year; though that figure may be on the low side! And yes, it KILLED many...especially very young children!

Today's snowflakes know NO history at all;hence the hysterics, I guess.

Unlike the Ebola plague that Obama tried to import into the States by any possible means.

At some point we’re going to have to shut CNN up, I’m afraid.

I'm not sure what was going on with the bodies in the street.

I saw one video where a guy is driving a couple of blocks, and the bodies
were wrapped and laying there on the sidewalk.

Then someone mentioned the trees with leaves on them. It's winter.

Next I noticed that this wasn't a residential area. It was a business district.

Why would someone transport a body downtown to get rid of it?

I'm not looking to downplay things, but sometimes I think we're being
gamed here.

Well, we most assuredly ARE being "gamed" by CNN, the moron Chelsea Clinton, etc.!

China is a VERY closed society, so anything out of there is suspect.

My family has always very big on "family stories", so I know quite a lot about everyday life, diseases, funny stories, and such about many different generations of them; both when they were here in America and before they emigrated. It was really great way to learn about not just my family, but also factual history.

When my grandmother told me about when my mother had had Whooping Cough ( which by that time there was a vaccine against anyone getting it again )it was without any hysterics.Maybe that's one reason why I don't go all "freaked out" about this new kind of flu. Oh and I damned near died from the Asian Flu ( and never have had ANY flu ever again and can't get the flu shot due to an allergy ), so that's another reason, I guess.

Thanks for the comments.

I’ve never gotten the shots either.

I hardly ever get sick and I just don’t bother.

There’s nothing wrong with getting sick once in a while.

It’s normal.
