Fox News 24/7 coverage of Coronavirus: nothing reported that our military smoked Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander General Siamand Mashhadani in response to the killing of two Americans and a Brit soldier the day before in an attack on Camp Taji. Another Iranian commander killed in Iraq by U.S. military and all the news coverage is about a viral epidemic that didn't even merit attention with the H1N1 virus until about 1800 deaths under 0bummer.

Trish Regan benched for varying from the accepted script. Great image, Fox News, Business. One suspects that POTUS DJT is being set up. When deaths approach any where near the acceptable level for 0bummer the treason crowd will try impeachment again - and an exhausted public is supposed to concede.

Well, at least they weren’t labeled as Coronavirus CURES. I expect they will soon be selling those on street corners etc.

There have already been arrests of people selling “cures”

What is disturbing about this article is that these may have been the one I ordered on ebay for $831.20.

Ok, I didn’t

It says they were shipped from the UK, but they could be from anywhere.
