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 CDCs 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.

Rude.
Just a panic button folks, nothing to really worry about...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
These bastards play for keeps. This scheming bitch saw an opportunity and pounced. If it tanks the economy so much the better as long as it hurts Trump.
There are NO coincidences. None.
SEC, check her stock trading activities.
This is out of control and does not need to be.
They have now created a box for the President.
Never let a crisis go to waste, especially if you have to create it yourself.
Who benefits? Cui bono?
One of our adult sons learned this from me and isn’t a freeper.
On his side of his desk he has a little wooden 3 sided piece of wood with “Who benefits? Cui bono?”
He has an older sibling, who told him, “Took you long enough to understand this reality, “Who benefits? Cui bono?”
I really think this is the Democrat-deep-staters creating a panic in the country. They are willing to commit suicide almost literally, and they think they may have a winner with the coronavirus story. Theyre willing to crash the financial markets to destroy the Trump economy.
I hate these Clintonites who are infesting this nation, and I put absolutely nothing past them. Just like the old scorpion and frog tale, it is their nature to destroy good, no matter that they die as well. They scream FIRE in every crowded theater in America, creating fear with zero truth and with absolute impunity from the mainstream media and from dem politicians. I despise the dem pols and the mainstream media so much.
Id hate to contract such a virus of course, Im not saying its not a problem, but the dems feel they have a winner in freaking out the entire country/world to bust up Trump.
Democratic and lamestream press’s new narrative... Coronavirus is Trump’s fault.
LOL. OK tough guy or girl (my bet is girl, btw) when the feces hit the fan and goods and services are disrupted, stores aren't exactly going to be brimming with food. I and many others aren't the wild-eyed preppers clutching a Gadsen flag that you think. But it's good to have plans and an emergency supply of food, water, and medical/firearm equipment. If that makes me a snowflake, guilty as charged and I'll even binge-watch some My Little Pony cartoons.
How queer.
It has long however been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression, (altho I do not choose to put it into a newspaper, nor, like a Priam in armour, offer myself its champion) that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day & a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the states, & the government of all be consolidated into one. to this I am opposed; because whenever all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated. it will be, as in Europe where every man must be either pike or gudgeon hammer or anvil. our functionaries and theirs are wares from the same work-shop; made of the same materials, & by the same hand. if the states look with apathy on this silent descent of their government into the gulf which is to swallow all, we have only to weep over the human character formed uncontrollable but by a rod of iron; and the blasphemers of man, as incapable of self government, become his true historians.
But let me beseech you, Sir, not to let this letter get into a newspaper. tranquility, at my age, is the supreme good of life. I think it a duty, and it is my earnest wish, to take no further part in public affairs; to leave them to the existing generation to whose turn they have fallen, and to resign the remains of a decaying body and mind to their protection. the abuse of confidence by publishing my letters has cost me more than all other pains, and make me afraid to put pen to paper in a letter of sentiment. if I have done it frankly in answer to your letter, it is in full trust that I shall not be thrown by you into the Arena of a newspaper. I salute you with great respect

How is being prepared considered being a snowflake?
I imagine our brave WWII heroes (that you referenced) were also....prepared, for emergencies.
Dont apologize to me, apologize to the person you posted your rude snowflake comment to.
Im glad main stream is FINALLY picking up the fact that this CDC director is Rods sis.
exactly. Even if we don’t get hit hard we are going to deal with supply chain problems. When that starts people will panic and clear out stores. It doesn’t take much to cause shortages. Not worried long term, but even a few months is enough to be a pain in the butt.
That's not idiocy. That's exactly what the globalists and domestic leftists here want to do. They are hyping this Coronavirus to crash Trump's economy.
And I wasn't the first to point it out, None other than Rush Limbaugh mentioned it, so now call him an idiot will ya.
