The two big stories these days are the COVID-19 outbreak and the Democrat presidential primaries. The former is filled with the media’s apocalyptic hysteria about a disease that for now is less deadly than the yearly flu. The latter’s drama comes from the DNC’s and Democrat big donors’ success in neutralizing Bernie Sanders’ candidacy and all but ensuring that an addled mediocrity ends up being the Dems’ presidential candidate in November.
The Democrat primaries, however, are in large part a manifestation of the political virus that has infected the body politic for over three years, and that in the long run is more dangerous than the coronavirus: COVEFE-16, popularly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. The coronavirus will eventually be contained, as previous viral outbreaks have been over the last few decades. TDS, on the other hand, may pave the way for the Dems’ control of the government come November. Such an outcome will mark a quantitative leap in the century-long dismantling of the Constitutional order that defends our political freedom.
The two diseases have converged in the NeverTrumpers’ attempts to blame the coronavirus on President Trump. A Politico headline sums it up: “Trump’s Mismanagement Helped Fuel Coronavirus Crisis.” A common sense response like barring travelers from China, ground zero of the outbreak, is called “xenophobia” and “racism.” Delays in getting test-kits available are laid at Trump’s feet, as though he directly manages their manufacture and distribution. Trump’s efforts to tamp down the panic are called callous indifference, though we all know if he’d been more urgent about the dangers, the media would have faulted him for stoking a panic.

It’s not October. Or even June.
When people start noticing no one is dying around them, this will dissipate WAY before the election and Trump will be just fine.
dems may have inadvertently done Trump a favor by making it politically incorrect for companies to carry on business as usual
The sports shutdowns and all the working from home will undoubtedly help in stopping the spread of this virus.
It CAN have real effects. We’ve seen that in China and Iran and Italy.
Shutting down business for a month is brutal but we’ll recover.
We recovered from 8 years of obama. Or at least a lot.
dems should have let this drag on. That was the best strategy for them.
This will pass quickly and the POTUS will get the credit.
Hope so, I could see them releasing another one.
It's going to take a few months to get there after a month or more of bottom fishing. Still the timing is pretty good for us.
It is a psychosis.
*A severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
The spread of LIEberalism is far more dangerous to all age groups, enslaves much of the population (turning them into mind-numbed zombies), and results in destructions of once lively and prosperous cities and nations.

Obviously they intend to pair the “addled mediocrity” with the addled Hildebeast in hopes of winning the election, and soon after his swearing in to office provide reason for his resignation from the office of the presidency making said “beast” our president.
Socialism/Communism - Viruses in the form of ideas and are much more deadly than the biological kind.
Hysteria driven by the media a a few hand wringers on free republic.
