Democratic Party media are claiming that last night in South Carolina, President Trump said that the coronavirus epidemic is a hoax. Politico headlines
:Did Trump actually say the corona virus is a hoax? Of course not. The claim is idiotic. If the president thought the virus is a hoax, why did he do a press conference on it last week, along with various medical personnel? And why did he ban travel to China at the beginning of the outbreak?
This is what Trump actually said in South Carolina, according to the New York Post:
President Trump jeered Democrats Friday night for criticizing his response to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, saying that it was a “new hoax” after a failed attempt to remove him from office over Ukraine.
“They tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia — that didn’t work out too well,” Trump told a cheering crowd in South Carolina. “They tried the impeachment hoax. That was a perfect conversation.”
“And this is the new hoax,” Trump declared. *** “Let’s get this right: A virus starts in China, makes its way into various countries all around the world, doesn’t spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took against a lot of other wishes. And the Democrats’ single talking point and you see it is that it’s Donald Trump’s fault,” he said.
The hoax, obviously, is the Democrats’ unfounded criticism of the Trump administration. Never in American history have we seen such nakedly dishonest criticism of anyone in public life.

It’s not that it’s a hoax it’s that they’re exploiting the situation for political points instead of informing and helping the American people! The mediaVOMITS keeps harping on it and the American people are going to get hardened- heart and not pay attention anymore that’s where the extreme danger comes in! The mediaturds are over playing their hands with this dangerous situation for the sake of hurting the president and destroying our economy as a plus! Honestly I despise the mediapukes and its CEO’s who condone and encourages the tearing up of our nation apart... I hate them!
South Korea 3,150 cases 17 deaths 10 critical, 24 recovered
Japan 241 cases 5 deaths 20 in serious, 32 recovered
Compare that to their populations. They watched what China did, and are following them. Do the math.
Yep. Seasonal flu mortality is about 0.1%
WuFlu, if one does honest calculations based on completed cases (and assuming the raw data is accurate!) rather than based on how many people have had it long enough for their individual outcomes to be known, is 6.9% as of 7:53 (PST) this morning.
As to the raw data being accurate? If anything the ChiComs are lying to make it look better than it is...
And Coronavirus is 10 to 40 times that mitigated by 1st world health care.
“Heck of a hoax for China to crater its own economy”
That’s right. It was an accident and China was ill prepared to deal with it and it spread.
The Globalists are taking advantage and not letting an exaggerated crisis go to waste.
Thanks for bringing common sense to the table.
Seeing how the virus has completely freaked out Wall Street and the financial markets all across the world in just over a week I believe it was going to be used by the Chinese and some other enemies of America, at some point this year, to tank the financial markets and influence the November election here! Could this have been one of the October Surprises? If not for some sloppy Chinese lab techs in Wuhan who knows what might have happened. I think most of wouldn’t consider ourselves conspiratorial types, but after this whole impeachment fraud fiasco I don’t put anything past the Democrats and their Repuke allies in Congress and in the federal government!
The virus is real. The threat is real, in some countries. The real hoax is in the hype of doom and gloom in this country and the push to drive the markets down to hurt the administration.
This is the 19th identified strain of the virus since the 1960s (yes, it’s been around that long).
The last major problems were with the MRS and SARS strains of the corona virus. Those outbreaks were more virulent, but well contained in this country.
Democrats are hoping for an outbreak and widespread deaths as well as a market crash. They hate Trump and hate us for voting for him.
Their healthcare systems have not been overwhelmed yet.
Yesterday, S. Korea doctors were sounding the alarm that they were running out of beds for severe cases.
We will know soon what happens in first world healthcare when the systems cannot handle the load. Because this disease is not about the level of severity, it is about the sheer numbers of critical cases (15-20%)
17 deaths/(17 deaths+24 recovered), the completed cases, yields a 41% fatality rate.
Japan 241 cases 5 deaths 20 in serious, 32 recovered
5 deaths/(5 deaths+32 recovered), the completed cases, yields a 13.5% fatality rate.
The coverage is the hoax.
It’s a tiny portion of their population.
The threat of Covid-19 is real... It’s the lying and fear mongering spewed by the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats that is the Hoax. Just as their Russia, Russia, and false impeachment are hoaxes on the American people.
The left has an uncommon propensity of reading things into situations that simply are not there. In their inverted view of the world, whatever Trump utters must somehow be taken at its most negative context possible, as he cannot possibly be speaking of anything remotely related to their version of “the truth”.
But then, their version of “the truth” is not necessarily congruent with this universe.
There is something that has been overlooked by everyone regarding the spread of the virus in Asia, even by me, after many trips there and having had two Chinese wives in my life.
Asians don’t cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough. Those who have been in the US do, as they are told that is polite here. In China, no one covers their mouth.
Meals are eaten family style, with dishes being shared using the same chopsticks, and polite people will turn their chopsticks around to use the back end to serve themselves food from communal dishes. (Except their hands touched them.)
Let’s just say that germophobes are like unicorns in Asia.
Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to use the /s.
No, I don’t think those countries are in league with China.
I think the media and public are always willing to drive each other into a panic, but this is a deadly virus and not a hoax.
Not a complete Hoax, but definitely a biased, politicization and fear-mongering for political benefit. The Left has weaponized people’s suffering.....
Want proof?
Google topics below to find TRUTH.
Q: How many people die in a year in the US from regular old garden variety Flu?
Q: How many people died in the US from H1N1 during Obama’s reign and how many were infected?
Q: How many have died in the US (and # infected) from COVID-19?
What is really bad is our conservative media have gone along with the hyping of the impact. Result: Financial damage to the USA.
It’s the same type of “hoax” as was Y2K.
