Continuation of the Thread
I’m sure he’s watching them closely. You don’t hold a press conference and cast doubt on your confidence on the CDC.
That’s exactly right, Fd!
I can’t stand to see folks cough into their hands!! Eeeew!
Being asked why he’s appointed VP Pence to head up this virus oversight....when he has Secy Azar.
I love the guy too.
But I had to laugh when he said we were the “best prepared” and held up a study.
I KNOW hospitals have plans because I helped write some of them. I also know that after the first case shows up the plan almost immediately goes out the window. The primary reason: people will not show up. Support people and hourly staff are going to run so fast the other way it will make people’s’ heads spin.
But...stay calm. This is the flu.
Trump asked if the Chinese lied initially and tried covering the outbreak up, now why he trusts them. His answer was wishy washy.
Absolutely.
I’ve been watching Chuckie & Nan and they are hyping for all they are worth. There is a secondary gain operating. Chuckie & Nan are not looking out for America they are scrambling for an anti Trump missile.
Do you have a source on that?
I must have misunderstood. So they are not expanding testing. Listening to Agenda-Free give his take.
Such a relief to not see him up there praising Rod’s sister!
According to @lookner, this is a case not from travel, unknown origin.
New Case of Novel Coronavirus in Northern California: CDC
Not sure if I would show my hand here if I was the President. I think he is still hoping the trade deal follows through.
Maybe Trust but verify.
How would the CDC catch cases like this if they do not expand their testing? @lookner
Yeah, he should have acted sooner and with a wider ban.

Confirmed by CDC now...
but no details what city
no travel history...no contacts to known cases
so there is a secret spreader
I disagree with the President on this is just like a flu. To early to compare to a flu. I do think they need to expand the testing.
I do agree the current risk today is low, but that could change next week, next month or this fall. We need more testing to keep watch.
I disagree on the reason the market drop. It is not about who is running for President under the Democratic party. The market drop was because of the factory shutdowns in China. Has nothing to do with the Democratic party or politics. I do not think anybody listens to the Democratic party when it comes to investing.
Generally, I think the President is trying to calm everybody by having the meeting and appointing Vice President Pence.
I do think China is lying about their numbers. I do not think we are out of the woods, but thankful we have Vice President directing things.
“Yeah, right...I have yet to get West Nile Virus, Ebola, or Coronavirus...I will, however, have a Corona Extra tonight and laugh at the CDC.”
Here’s the BEST PART: We will be LAUGHING while you guys line up for rice, or bitch about not having parts to fix your car!
Somewhere in Northern California.. Thank god it was not LA.
I have to say, my favorite statement of the day for the President was about Ebola. It’s a totally different thing. “You basically disintegrated”.
But his comparisons to the flu were way off. That’s what the CDC folks put in his ear, IMO
