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.” […]
Trump has faced increased criticism from Democratic lawmakers and some health professionals that he is not doing enough to meet the mounting threat of the coronavirus. …

We had to stop watching all “news” shows, even on Fox, because it’s all coronavirus, all the time. We can’t take it any more. WHY are they buying in to the panic mode? I was worried at first — until I learned it was Rosenstein’s sister who was screaming the loudest, “The sky is falling”, implying it’s all Trump’s fault.
How about the brand new Doomberg commercial predicting the end of the world if he is not elected. These pols are dirty and corrupt trying to panic the very people they want to represent, pathetic.,
I hope the prayers of Freepers are improving your health situation.
Prayed for you twice last night.
Please continue to hang in there and know that we care.
I had to go to a public place today (oil change at small town car dealership).
While I waited...I was increasingly worried about the numbers of employees with hacking coughs! Oh My. I sterilized my steering wheel, and inside and outside door handles. I will know in 2 days if I breathed in the germs enough to get it. At least 3 different employees were sick.
Get Well Soon
I hope you are okay!
Made it to work today. Now it is going around my building. Sent my assistant home this morning and my maintenance supervisor was showing symptoms this afternoon. Found out several contractors in the building went through the same thing. Also, they all confirmed that just when they thought they were getting better, it surged back. One contractor said his doctor diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection too.
Started with a sore throat.
Next day fever, migraine, generally feeling like you were run over by a truck.
Then the dry cough and tightness in the chest, lung pain, and fatigue.
Once the cough turns wet, you start feeling better in a few days. But dang! That dry cough was brutal and really limited your oxygen intake! I’m 10 days in and still coughing heavily.
Can’t wait for this to be over.
Now we are keeping an eye on my youngest. He has it and missed 3 days of school so far. Already been to the doctor with my husband.
