President Trump accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday of trying to create a panic around the coronavirus outbreak after the California Democrat criticized the White House’s emergency planning as “inadequate.”

Trump called Pelosi “incompetent” and accused her of using the virus for a political reason during a press conference where he sought to minimize fears of the virus spreading and announced that Vice President Mike Pence will head up Washington’s response to the outbreak.

“She’s trying to create a panic and there is no reason to panic,” Trump said. “All they are trying to is get a political advantage, but this shouldn’t be a political thing.” […]

[I’m a fairly healthy, slim, 53 year old woman with an active career and raising teenagers. Now they are getting it, too. The headache, the cough, the fever.

I’ve had the flu; this is not behaving like the flu. It’s like drowning on dry land.]


If I might ask, what medications are you taking to deal with this?

Keep us posted on how you are doing and what they find out, OK?

I will say a prayer for you and more as I remember.

That $8 Billion the Dems are screaming for now? Use it to finish the Wall and build quarantine centers at all ports of entry.

I got a cocktail shot at the doctor on Tuesday, fluids and more antibiotics at the hospital on Friday, cipro and methylprednisolone pack since Saturday and I’m still weak as a kitten. Spent most of today sweating and sleeping, when I wasn’t coughing my head off. Every time I cough, it feels like my heart is going to pump out of my chest.

Thanks, Metmom. I definitely appreciate the prayers.

I just want to be healthy again. Anything deeper than a shallow pant is painful.

Thanks. None of this stuff?

It's what I've always used as a sleep aid when I go through colds and my one flu infection decades ago when I was young and healthy.

One of the reasons I was so excited about Trump was his tough stance on immigration.

The cowards in Congress are fighting him every step of the way.

Sorry, Zang, thought you were inquiring about the prescriptions, not over the counter. I was using that before the hospital (Dayquil too during the day), but only got worse.

The methylprednisolone seemed to be working Monday and Tuesday, then this morning I was back to square one.

Since the hospital, I’m only taking the prescription stuff.

I tested negative for flu and pneumonia last week, so I thought it was just a bad cold. Then Friday hit.

I encourage everyone to get some Liposomal C and take it at the first sign.

I did ..along with some other stuff..after some Asians were coughing all over me and got sick the next day.

Knocked it out overnight

Great minds think alike. A fellow Freeper just emailed me about vitamin C.

Thanks, folks, for the prayers and suggestions.

That sounds like pneumonia to me, although I’ve never had it. It sounds like they ran all the right tests to diagnose it. it’s kind of surprising that nothing came up.

But I have had shortness of breath because of allergies and know just how scary that can be.
