Exactly. All this breathless statistics and posturing of knowledge from a perspective of ignorance is getting tiresome.

Sure, it’s a virus but it’s getting blown well out of proportion. The left is searching high and low for something, anything to bring Trump down. Within a couple days of even hearing about this virus in China, POTUS closed the borders to travelers from China.

I watched his well reasoned press conference today with plenty of actual epidemiologists and doctors. These guys were clear that there is no reason to panic. They were also clear that infection numbers will also likely rise. It’s on youtube and worth an hour of your time.

At the end of the day, 22, 100, 1,000 people getting some illness is a statistical anomaly. 300,000,000 people in America. 5500 people die every day in America.

In may case, I’m middle aged, have a bit of asthma and a propensity for common colds to transfer to bronchitis. I travel heavily for work and interact with the public almost daily. Outside of more frequent hand washing, I’m not all that concerned.

You are correct and yes I watched it. Great presser and they do not seem the slightest bit concerned about coronavirus...only the press and left’s reaction to their handling of it.

Thank you for your post.

I watched the President’s Press Conference today also.

Very calming and factual.

Am not fearful at all about this virus.

Handwashing is obviously mandated. Masks are not.
