“President Donald Trump has called top U.S. health officials to an emergency meeting at the White House Wednesday morning, cutting a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill short, said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.”
Meybe he’s gonna put the hammer down on all these petty political fiefdoms, and cast blame squarely on them for deliberately sabotaging the country.
Maybe someone has figured out what the term “exponential growth” means.
It’s getting real.
Why is he doing all this for the flu?
He has to go thru the machinations as the stupid panicked media won’t take their foot off the panic pedal.
The source for this story is Rep. Carolyn Maloney. Keep that in mind.
So what’s the difference between a ‘meeting’ and an ‘emergency meeting?’
How do we determine this meeting is the latter rather than the former?
The best thing to do when there is panic is to release the facts:
There are different non COVID-19 serological subtypes of the coronavirus that are widespread in the American population. Most people infected are either asymptomatic, have cold like symptoms but some develop pneumonia that can result in respiratory failure and death. The key point is that susceptibility to serious illness from these already widespread coronaviruses depends on the genetic susceptibility and possibly the underlying frailty or medical condition of any given individual. This is true of all pathogens.
Thus far the vast majority of people who are becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19 have been Asians and elderly people with underlying immune compromise or pulmonary disease. That is not to say that others don’t become infected by this virus, but appear not to become seriously ill or die. Thus far there have been no China or Korea like outbreaks in the US, ICUs are not full of people in respiratory failure with chest CT scans demonstrating “ground glass” infiltrates. Thousands travelled from the Wusan epicenter to multiple points in the United States from Dec 15 -Jan 23. The virus is here and when diagnostic modalities become readily available, many will be found to be infected but relatively few will have become seriously ill or have died. It should be noted that few if any of the Caucasians and Africans living and working in Wusan are known to have became seriously ill or died.
It bears repeating that the region in Italy that had the outbreak is heavily populated with Chinese immigrants and Asian workers. The modern Iranian population has a large Chinese component in its genome. The Silk Road and innumerable Chinese caravans transversed Iran and the Mongols once conquered it.
If the CDC and the WHO were to take the politically incorrect path and release data which included the race, age and underlying mortality of those who have contracted this virus, much of the panic would resolve.
Trump said 10 days ago people from Italy and other high rate countries would be questioned and have their temperature taken when entering this country. This has not been happening. People are walking right through customs.
Trump needs to clean house and bring down the hammer on these agencies or this is going to get out of control.
Maybe trying to get to the people responsible for stopping early testing in Washington?
I hope heads roll in-mass.
The Deep State and the media have succeeded in causing mass hysteria and panic in this country. Make no mistake they are politicizing this event to the max! Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful!
Dr. Fauchi just testified in Congress (live C-SPAN3 right now) that COVID19 death rate is about 1%, comapred with influenza at about 0.1%. Ten times more deadly.
That’s his current estimate based on current data. Offered here to help speculation on government reaction.
Close the damn border and quarantine everyone coming from a foreign country. Period.
They are all going to be sent out looking for the horses that left the barn over four weeks ago.
If you see them please call the CDC.
That is all.
May what PDJT is meeting about
Most people will be exposed to virus, about 30% won’t even know they have it, 1% or less will die from it...mostly elderly and those with deficient immune systems.
People can get virus more than once.
Our elderly and those with compromised immune systems need to be quarantined and protected from virus exposure. Healthy people will survive infection. Can it mutate into a more deadly virus? All viruses can.
The economic effects will be hard.
Personally I am watching for really cheap cruise deals and I am an old guy.
Give to FR!!
