White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham called on Democrats Monday to stop stoking the flames of coronavirus panic to gain political points against President Trump.
"I just want to stress to politicians and the media to stop using this as a tool to politicize things and to scare people," Grisham told "Fox & Friends."
"It's not responsible. This is not the time for this. People need to be looking to the CDC for guidance. People need to be washing their hands, treating this like the flu, making responsible choices. This is absolutely not the time to be trying to scare people to gain political points or make headlines."

It’s working, and it really doesn’t have anything to with Democrats.
Wuhan bio-weapon is terrifying.
So much FAKE NEWS!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 9, 2020
I keep hearing about test kits.The reality is the reaction to the virus is worse than the virus. Test kits do not help anyone. They do not stop the virus. They just give larger numbers to the media. You cant stop this virus. You can only try to stop the panic.
People need to look at a few important facts. Iceland has 58 cases. The Maldives in the middle of the Indian ocean has 4 cases. Perth a city all alone on the other side of the Australian desert has 4 cases. Hawaii has 2 cases. Martinique has two cases. Nigeria has two cases. There is no corner of the world that has been spared from the virus.
So test kits only give us larger numbers. They dont help us stop this. We cannot stop this. We can only let it flow over us.
Lets remember tests dont tell you about a person having the virus. It tells you whether you have the virus now. Lets say you are on a cruise ship. You test negative. 3 days later you come to a port. Was that test valid? Or do you need a new test? Tests can be important. But they solve very little.
The press is problematic. They are still trying to stop the virus. They are trying to cause panic. They want to complain. Jim Cramer is going nuts right now. He wants to stop the world so he can stop the virus. All it will help is to stop the economy. The virus will keep going across the world.
I sure do hope it’s fake.
That would be great!
‘Cuz if it’s not fake, we’re in big trouble.
The weapon to fight Coronavirus is the mop, not the keyboard.
Those who are truly concerned about this illness must push themselves away from the keyboard and march to the nearest nursing home.
There, they must grab a mop and show their resolve.
Down with the Coronavirus Keyboard Concern Commandos!
Up with the Bedpan Bathing Brigades!
Yes.
Altogether now.
Comrades!
Pick up your mops and save us!
“So much FAKE NEWS! Donald J. Trump “
All these U.S. “new deaths” from COVID: How do we know they aren’t flu deaths but are being incorrectly tagged purposely to increase panic? We don’t know; how would we? CDC is included in the Deep State, and if bad news helps them, then it’s to their benefit to lie.
Let us build a barricade of sparkling bedpans!
COVID is a hoax but even if the treat were real why would this make a person want to vote in an incompetent, incontinent doddering old fool as POTUS?
She’s an idiot.
The administration is doing NOTHING about the economic damage that this contagion is creating.
Instead they are playing politics, pretending that this is an anti-Trump conspiracy.
They are incompetent in the extreme and someone in the administration needs to start showing some leadership. I’d appoint Mnuchin to do something, as he’s the one person there who has ever had a real-world job.
The problem is not the virus.
The problem is media politicalization to rid America of President Trump
The resulting war will kill more progressives than the virus
Maybe.
But they nailed the contagion and fear part.
How do you fight a hoax?
Yes, that’s a HUGE problem as well.
We have a convergence of circumstances occurring that is not good at all.
We should start a trade war!! Genius! Why didn’t I think of that?
If it’s a bioweapon then the scientist who created it has been sacked and shipped off to some gulag.
= = = = = = = = = =
Yes, that is and has been the trend.
A few years back some manufacturer in China screwed something up and people either got sick or whatever and the Chinese said ‘we will handle it’ and the people involved were dispatched to join their ancestors.
In a ‘civilized’ country, we are lenient when it comes to such garbage and as a thanks to the leniency bestowed upon them, they write ‘tell-all books’ and go on some rigged TV show to badmouth the ones that seemingly exonerated and/or ‘forgave’ them and they continue to attempt to drive them from office.
Who’s method is REALLY better?
This should NOT have to be said.
Then again we are dealing with the type of people who let every area where they have total control become places of homelessness, and despair, with outbreaks of Turn-of-the-Century disease.
Also this is the party running Puerto Rico that let the people there starve and suffer, because they would not give out relief suplies donated after the hurricane. The stuff rotted in warehouses- All so the Corruptocrat party could "score political points" against POTUS.
Oh, I don't know. She took a job in which the task is to say what she's told to say. Is it "idiotic" to earn her paycheck by doing that task?
