How do you know the administration isn’t covering for every eventuality?

And I hate to break it to you, but Trump will get the blame anyway.

Suck it up, sunshine. We’ll get through this.

Another moron with a degree. In Texas, your chances of being killed by a drunk illegal driving on the wrong side of the highway are much greater than dying of the coronavirus. The Trump Wall will save more lives than building a hospital that later stands empty because the freeloaders are sucking up too much money in the county emergency rooms.

They were just saying 2 days ago that the people at large have little to no risk of catching anything from the people in the US with this that have come in contact with others.

There’s the kernel of an issue here.

Public Health does not generate revenue. And, unlike road and bridge maintenance, the activities of public health professionals, who lean towards the nosy maiden aunt phenotype, don’t make people happy, either.

98% of the time, your Public Health Director needs to be Mr. Rogers. 2% of the time he needs to be Patton.

It’s a big gap to bridge, and most of them don’t bridge it well.

It is looking like the Commie Chinese game plan .
Beijing is safe after being shut off but
Seattle SF LA Toronto Vancouver Sydney are being flooded by there Infected population.

And WHO is letting this happen .

The Cdc is letting it happen .

Trump needs to close the borders to the CHINESE .
The Philippines , Sri lanka joined N Korea and Mongolia .

and banned the Chinese invaders . And we are letting the State Dept bring 1000 American back to S Calif with
no Quarantine area set up .
Its 14 days strict quarantine not this please go home crap .
So they can all jump on a Swest flight and expose thousands more .

Trump is going to be screwed if dies not act today .
Nothing been done yet while Beijing Commies are sleeping well in there isolation .

THIS!!!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Another twist and turn on the same WuFlu topic.
See Post 5 and Post 33 at
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3811451/posts

Does the WuFlu have a Maple Leaf root?

Coronavirus will go through India like a blowtorch through soft butter.

Overpopulation, worst sanitation, no medical care unless you are rich, caste system

First case in India was reported yesterday.

It was marvy and fab-u-lous when Barack was importing ebola into the United States for 'observation' and one victim was puking in an apartment parking lot.

Symptoms of coronavirus: Indian govt sets up 24X7 helpline number

A 24x7 helpline number?

Illegal immigrants swamp our emergency rooms, and cost up to $300 B each year in welfare, medicaid, education, criminal justice and prisons. Did he consider this?
