Earlier today Dr. Nancy Messonnier, an official in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), held a conference call with media and pushed a panic narrative around the Coronvirus that ran counter to the Trump administration. What makes the statements by Dr. Messonnier even more interesting is the fact she is the only sister of former DOJ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Dr. Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (link) told reporters on the call:
“We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this could be bad.” … “I understand this whole situation may seem overwhelming and that disruption to everyday life may be severe. But these are things that people need to start thinking about now.”
The alarming message from Dr. Messonnier was quickly picked up by most major news organizations and pushed into all reporting on the issue. The tone of the alarm is also counter to the message of the Trump administration and HHS Secretary Alex Azar, as outlined in a press conference with leadership from U.S. Health and Human Services.

BTTT.
Yeah well stop spreading lies. My info comes from Rush who said the Dems and elites are using the Coronavirus to crash Trump's economy. X22 Report also mentioned it today.
And not everybody are FReepers. Regular people are going to hear the s--t from the CDC and start flooding the stores.
You really think this virus is organic and just happened out of circumstance?
You don't see Hong Kongers protesting anymore, do you?
It's all staged and it's designed to crash Trump's economy.
Hey, have Tommy Tutones ever made another hit song?
ROFL
Very incestuous
Extract every one of them from government service. Every one. Shut it down.
You copied and pasted this....
FReepers, if you don't have emergency food and supplies, better start now.
Again....NOTHING about the economy, just about prepping.
Your criticisms aren't holding water, you aren't being honest with what your first condescending post was, to EEE and...I am done w/discussing this with you.
The info of this threads TOPIC is MUCH more important than your snarky comments.
Good day.
Which means what to those of us who are having a hard time keeping track of who the bad guys are and who the good guys are this week?
“EVIL.....VILE.....LEFTISTS....DEMOCRATS!!!!”
They are every bit of that, and more.
But the real question is: Was the warning appropriate?
Just because we have not yet detected community spread, does it mean we have fully contained it?
It was the HHS Secretary that was premature, at least.
Saying it is fully contained when over 3,000 in CA ALONE are on home quarantine...is absurd.
Fine. You starve when TSHTF.
What difference does it make to you what others do with their time and money?
If you’d rather be dependent on the goodness and good will of the federal government, have at it.
Many of us trust it far less than you do.
Did it ever occur to you that we are basically the first couple generations that did NOT prepare for contingencies, like winter, being out of touch with people for long periods of time?
How do you think our ancestors survived winters?
You’re one arrogant piece of work, aren’t you?
Do you like being contentious just for the fun of it?
Because your posting history indicates that.
Thanks metmom....
Thanks Jane!
I remember the unlamented Gerald Ford’s Great Swine Flu Crisis that dissipated as fast as it arrived. Suspect this is the same kind of drive by crisis.
“CDC is the medical wing of the DNC.”
In THIS particular case they don’t appear to be saying anything different than public health officials worldwide, and what they are experiencing.
The thing is, even if this is a non-crisis, the fact that people are going to be panic buying, will cause shortages, just like the toilet paper shortage caused by Johnny Carson’s JOKE.
Those of us who are prepared will do just fine as we won’t be needing to buy anything for a while.
However, considering that this might NOT be a manufactured crisis, that there is the possibility that this is the big event we have been expecting, it’s not going to hurt to add to our already abundant supplies. And we won’t be doing massive panic buying but rather just a little extra each time, only enough to not cause supply problems.
A couple extra boxes of pasta here, a little more rice, there, a few spices, some canned fruit. Not in any really unusual amounts.
Were 40+ million people quarantined during that event?
