“It makes no sense that he would try to minimize the threat.”

HUH? It couldn’t be more OBVIOUS, Captain.

Protect the people without causing hysteria and panic. Trying to help the patient without KILLING the economy.

Like bombing Germany. We lost many planes and crews on every mission, but we could build planes and train crews faster than we were losing them.

Sad and brutal, but it had to be done.

So you are the one person on the planet that knows exactly how many people have it? Because that is the only way you could say that 20% have critical symptoms. Trump is getting serious only to humor the ‘sky is falling’ crowd. You. That was a headache inducing read.

Well...not JUST me. Every medical expert. Every epidemiologist, every virologist. From every country. They're all using the same numbers. It's not fear mongering. It's reality.

You'll come around in the next wave...

I love both Rush and Trump, but they are not always right and we should not hesitate to criticize them when appropriate.

than any previous pandemics.

I hope doctors will comment on this and set any concern to rest.

Rush’s whole deal for decades has been that patriotic Americans are adults who can handle their lives and the country just fine. That he would suddenly disingenuously go wacko just to keep his flyover audience from panicking doesn’t ring true.

Trump’s own Fauci has said the lack of testing was a “failing” and that we “should admit it”.

Trump has done some things right and well and some things not so much so. No Western country seems to have in total done better and likely the Dems likely wouldn’t have. Let’s hope he’s strongly on the right and well side from here on out.

What makes me mad is the Democrats aren’t putting any of their divisiveness aside in this crisis.

They will never stop. They've said it a million times. President Trump is an existential threat to America. And he is a threat...to socialist leftist America.

Thanks,bramps. I just had lunch and had to bail after the first paragraph.

The Guy Who Claims He Invented Email Just Lost His Bogus Lawsuit [2017 story]

[This is the guy Rush is quoting as his “expert” on how Coronavirus hype is a deep state plot against Trump.]

A libel claim on the part of Shiva Ayyadurai, the self-identified “inventor of email,” was tossed out by a Massachusetts judge today, concluding a baseless suit filed against Techdirt back in January. According to the site, the judge also “rejected Ayyadurai’s request to file an amended complaint.”

Ayyadurai—a Trump booster and Senate hopeful running with a race-baiting campaign hashtag—has long and loudly sought credit for electronic mail, at times by muffling competing, fact-based narratives through frivolous lawsuits. The latest suit took aim at Techdirt founder Mike Masnick over a 2014 blog post entitled “Why Is Huffington Post Running A Multi-Part Series To Promote The Lies Of A Guy Who Pretended To Invent Email?” and sought an award of $15 million in punitive damages, an amount likely to bankrupt the site. (Disclosure: Gawker Media, the former owner of Gizmodo, was likewise sued by Ayyadurai. The Gawker estate settled with Ayyadurai for $750,000.)

Judge Frank Dennis Saylor IV dismissed the suit for “failure to state a claim” on Ayyadurai’s part. A sensible conclusion, as nearly everyone but Ayyadurai points to technologist Ray Tomlinson as the inventor of email.

It's not like global warning. These are the tallies of presented cases that end up needing hospitalization or icu. The plain fact is that the percentage doesn't matter because whatever percentage it is it IS overwhelming health care systems. So I don't care if it's 1% that ultimately end up hospitalized....they are STILL overwhelming the healthcare system in every country where it's been IF nothing is done.

9-11 was the last straw for Democrats.

They will never unite behind America again.

I think they made it a whole week, back then.

Let me give another answer. If you WANT to believe only 1% are hospitalized that's fine. Feel free. The reality though is that in EVERY country where this is not controlled the health care system DOES get overwhelmed. So disregard the percentage that everyone agrees on and make up your own. It make no difference.

Twitter says President speaks on coronavirus at 3:00 Eastern time. Other news sites say he will declare National Emergency and invoke the Stafford Act.

Stay tuned.......

Yup. To the point where they will side with America’s enemies in any effort to get Trump out of office. The Democrats have committed so many crimes against this nation that they never want any of it to come to public light. That’s why they’re going all out to get the president, even if it results in a shattered economy and nation! Yeah, we’re doing with pure evil people!

Exactly. This complete halt to economic activity all over the nation is likely to crash our economy. The virus is a lot more deadly than the flu, but I do think we need to get a grip on the risk. Every day 7,000 people die in America and every day about 20,000 people die in China. So far, about 5,000 people have died from covid 19 all over the world. So far 39 Americans have died. More will die, of course. However, most of the people will most likely be in high risk groups. The decisions being made reflect the trade-offs of saving lives and crashing the entire economy....

I wavered for so long whether or not Rush was this idiotic or not. There's no way he can be this purposely stupid.

They don't even pretend to be sorry about it either. President Trump has made them show their true goals and true intentions.

You can't compare annual average figures to something growing exponentially, that is, doubling every 5 days.

Italy shows that once hospitals are overrun, the death rate will go from 3.5% up above 6%.
