The Trump administration is handling the coronavirus outbreak better than previous administrations addressed earlier emerging contagions, said Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at New York University, Fox News medical correspondent, and author of False Alarm: The Truth about the Epidemic of Fear.

Siegel shared his analysis on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with special guest host Joel Pollak.

“I’ve been handling these emerging contagions for about 20 years now, and I have to tell you, I’ve never seen one handled better,” said Siegel of President Donald Trump’s approach to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) erred in its messaging with a “doom and gloom comment” framing the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. as inevitable without quantifying caveats, Siegel stated.

“It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s immunization and respiratory disease division, on Tuesday.

Siegel praised the Trump administration’s personnel selection for its coronavirus task force, headed by Vice President Mike Pence.

“The task force are really top players,” said Siegel, noting the task force’s inclusion Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) infectious disease. Fauci is “one of the top infectious disease experts in the country,” he noted.

Siegel noted the coronavirus task force’s inclusion of CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, a virologist, and Dr. Nancy Messonnier, an expert in vaccines.

“They’ve been doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing,” said Siegel of the Trump administration’s measures towards protecting Americans from the coronavirus. “[They are] restricting travel, isolating patients who are sick and, trying to cut down on contact. It’s a very hard thing to do when people are pouring

Impossible. Trump is stupid, lazy, dishonest, incompetent, racist, and he ***** up everything he touches.

Plus, he’s orange, and that’s really, really bad.

For 85-percent of us....this is just plain regular harsh flu (the 7-day type). We are all acting like we never had this before.

Best handling so far, let's hope the history books serve to make hadling of future emerging pandemics even better.

That's unlikely to happen, as they are handled by people, and no politician wants to do the painful right thing, until and unless there is no alternative...

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.

If you want to see how not to handle a pandemic check out Barry’s failed Swine Flu response. Obama fiddle farted around for months while millions of Americans were infected and thousands died. The msm stooges response to Obama’s efforts were more leg tingles and pocket wrenches.

“The premature travel ban to and from China by the current administration is just an excuse to further his ongoing war against immigrants. There must be a check and Balance on these restrictions.....chuck schumer

Roger to “had it before”. On the back of a Lysol Spray can it lists the things Lysol will kill. Among those is “Human Coronavirus” We are being played by someone. Corona has been around for years.

The media and the Dems are creating fear as a political weapon, which Trump refers to as their "hoax", which again they try to spin for political gain. Let's face it, 99% of the media are CORRUPT.

No one is PLAYING YOU.

Coronavirus is an descriptor of a kind of virus.

This is a subset of the kind.

There are many in the subset. Some more virulent than others.

Where is Barry? Hiding inside his fenced in mansion at Martha's Vinyard?

Great Point, Lysol Spray Can Lists Human CoronaVirus as one of many Viruses it kills..My wife always sprays her outer clothing when returning from Subway travel in Manhattan etc..

Back in the glory years, before Bill Clinton, I was in a group who made 3 trips to Yellowstone and snowmobiled in the park. We stayed at Three Bears Motel in West Yellowstone, MT. We rented all our gear; sleds, boots, suits, gloves, helmets. Before suiting up we sprayed it all with Lysol spray. Great memories.

Just wait until the coronavirus hits India. During the 1918 Influenza Pandemic, India had 20 million dead.

“On the back of a Lysol Spray can it lists the things Lysol will kill. Among those is “Human Coronavirus” We are being played by someone. Corona has been around for years.”

There are about 50 different strains of coronavirus that infect humans. The common cold is usually either a rhinovirus or sometimes a corona virus. This COVID19 strain is a new one and we don’t have immunity.
