FAKE NEWS! HE DID!
There first must be a mind to change.
I believe in the case of Washington State that sick Chinese have fled China aboard container ships as stowaways. I believer there are many in our state’s Chinese population that have taken this route and have uncertain immigrant status.
“According to WorldOmeter.com, we have 2982 cases in the US with 60 deaths. That’s 0.02, much smaller than the flu rate.”
0.02 is MUCH higher than 0.001
Otherwise, as in the case of a technocrat with great skills, I'd suck it up...
I think Fauci is doing a good job.
He’s a respected voice throughout the country.
My understanding is that he’s a good doc and they have high regard for each other. I prefer to let Trump be the judge.
Good discussion BUMP!
Also When Dr. Fauci got the Medal of Freedom awarded to him by President Obama, Dr. Ben Carson was right there sitting next to him with his medal.
Of the comparative disease you mention none are as contagious as Covid except TB.
And they close entire buildings over TB and isolate the infected person until they are no longer shedding.
“He does have a fair number of detractors”
Only those who expect him to carry out the Rush narrative.
“Is that ‘projected’ rate of 1% from the same Dr. in Ohio “
It’s an optomistic projection shared by our entire national leadership, except for those who think it’s going to be higher.
In some countries it’s running over 3%.
Most of the cases(77) in Louisiana are in New Orleans. A 58 y.o. man died yesterday. Since no details about his medical history are given, can’t know if any pre-existing conditions.
My point is I think Mardi Gras was the
origin point. A million people on the streets from all over the world. It was Feb 25 this year. So far none of the sick here have been outside the US
before becoming ill.
Of course just a guess.
The Wuhan Virus emerged under the radar with little scientific information and concern for its significance. It took until December 24, 2019 for the first genetic sequencing to begin.
On December 27th, the sequencing had been completed and shared to Institute of Pathogen Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College. They thought it was related to the SARS coronavirus. They did not know it was an unique virus until January 3, when Chinese scientists at the National Institute of Viral Disease Control and Prevention (IVDC) determined the exact genetic sequence of the novel β-genus coronaviruses (naming it '2019-nCoV').
January 17, 2020 – Chinese health officials confirm that a second person has died in China. The US responds to the outbreak by implementing screenings for symptoms at airports in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles.
January 20, 2020 – The National Institutes of Health announces that it is working on a vaccine against the coronavirus. “The NIH is in the process of taking the first steps towards the development of a vaccine,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
January 21, 2020 – Officials in Washington state confirm the first case on US soil.
January 23, 2020 – At an emergency committee convened by the World Health Organization, the WHO says that the Wuhan coronavirus does not yet constitute a public health emergency of international concern.
January 28, 2020 – Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom in Beijing. At the meeting, Xi and the WHO agree to send a team of international experts, including US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff, to China to investigate the coronavirus outbreak. Notice that the scientific community was not even sure of the significance of this Virus.
January 30, 2020 – The US reports its first confirmed case of person-to-person transmission of the Wuhan coronavirus. On the same day, the WHO determines that the outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
January 31, 2020 – The Donald Trump administration announces it will deny entry to foreign nationals who have traveled in China in the last 14 days. I would say this was a pretty fast response to this virus, given the information that was developing.
I like your analogy. Well put!
It would be political suicide.
“Change my mind, am I wrong?”
I don’t think you’re wrong. Sadly, if PDJT fired the publicity hound all hell would break loose, more chaos would ensue, and we’d be taking two steps back. Hearing Fauci sabotage and undermine Trump every other day must rot his socks. But so must standing in front of the mic acting like it’s OK that another faction of the Deep State has shut down America.
And, when travel from the Continent was cut off, but not Great Britain or Ireland, it was because Great Britain and Ireland
are “Much whiter” than the Continent. Why no Russia numbers?

Anyone believe these numbers?
When will you stop posting stupid vanity posts? What an idiot.
