I hope the USPS does pull the stunt they did after 9-11 during anthrax scare.

The USPS was microwaving containers of mail in the NE area.

Was not known until they revealed that they burned up a lot of mail during the process

That is why I had missed payments that had to be processed in Delaware.

These people are taking great glee in burning this country to the ground. They won’t be so giddy when then Tribulation begins and they are still here.

The Democrats and media are praying for high fatality numbers from the coronavirus for political gain. Their contempt for humanity and life is disgusting.

Draw your own conclusions from that.

Who is Don? Did you mean to write, President Donald John Trump?

As vice president, Biden helped manage the Ebola outbreak and has long shown an ability to comfort rattled voters.

Really? Ebola is not capable of causing a pandemic, and the outbreak was in Africa, where the current Ebola outbreak is underway, albeit without news coverage.

It took the Obama administration quite some time to respond to the Ebola outbreak; months elapsed before sending medical personnel over to assist. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic happened on Obama's watch. He was also slow to respond on that one.

I don't recall that Biden was actively involved in either one of those situations. As I recall, Obama let the public health agencies and military handle them. As Trump is doing. Trump has taken the additional measures of implementing travel restrictions and quarantines, something that Obama never did to try to contain H1N1.

I thought sour puss Major Garrett on CBS this morning was going to have a breakdown. Then they interview Pence and misstate the facts, the media is culpable in spreading fear.

Trump should cancel the election and automatically serve for four more years to provide continuity in govt during pandemic.

Pass this idea around and watch the MSM change its tune about the Wuhan Flu.

Hehehe

At least for now, no rallies were scheduled as a means to blunt the momentum of his likely general election foe, Biden, who offers himself as someone uniquely positioned to respond to the coronavirus.


Give me a break! Biden is not even positioned to know where he is!

Or in what specific ways bidet “has drawn a clear comparison between how he would handle the crisis and the president’s scattershot approach from the Oval Office”.

Has he challenged anyone to arm wrestling yet this morning?

Why can’t we round up all these journalists (??) and personnel/experts from CNN/MSNBC, put them all in a room and they won’t be released until they come up with the SOLUTION to the problem? They have all the answers so why shouldn’t they be part of the solution?

There isn’t a solution.

There is no treatment.

There is no cure.

Except nature.

This has been clear since day 1. Clear within 15 minutes of reading the most basic articles.

I laugh at how people on FR especially are looking to their government to help them. When for the past 12 years they have been railing against the swamp and the deep state.

The government doesn’t give an F about anyone but themselves. Today isn’t any different from yesterday, and it’s not going to change tomorrow.

Look at their eyes. The fear in them stinks. They look like cornered animals—more worried about their own survival, political and literal. The time for trusting them ended when they screwed up the test kits.

And exactly what would the smarty pants in Main Stream Media do to thwart COVID-19?

It is easy to be critical of someone else, but not so easy to produce a plan that will be effective.
