President Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency in response to the coronavirus outbreak to speed relief to affected Americans, administration officials said Friday.

Senior officials confirmed to ABC News and NBC News that Trump will make the announcement during a 3 p.m. EDT news conference.

It’s really bad where I live. They’ve got the carts going through the streets, and people are dragging out the dead corpses one right after the other. Oh, one politician kept insisting he was alive, but you know how they lie.

Literally LOL

[billyboy15]

Good move. It takes one more weapon away from the scumbag Left. Remember, Ostupid waited a full year and only after over 1000 Americans died did he declare a National Emergency.

OMG I am choking on my coffee and had to change my blouse, almost drown from the coffe up my nose VERY, VERY , FUNNY!!!

[billyboy15]

Hell, they’re piling them up and burning the bodies here. I think some of them are still alive.

After two weeks of this, once again we will look at comaprisons to swine flu and say we were over reacting. People wont stay home unless there is a big body count. They will demand that they be allowed to live their lives again.

yeah did not see it was posted on main board

how will this work out with elections one wonders

[sheehan]

Never let a crisis go to waste Trump

Shut down the border
Shut down all immigration
Expedite wall construction

I think the real point is to obtain the release of the FEMA money, which I have heard is a bout 80 billion.

That was you?

Sorry I didn't have time to chat, or to help you chase your dad...

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.

The false positive rate was 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.

Exactly, they will never realize or admit the body count is low because measures are being taken to keep the count down.

Just like one idiot I know. He decided he did not need his high blood pressure meds anymore cause his blood pressure was down.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Not my intention to spoil your blouse, but I’m glad you got a laugh from it! At this point a good chuckle is probably the best medicine.

Then Trump can claim success for getting Pence to head up response efforts. There is no scenario for where this turns out good, not unless there really is a lot of people who will die from this.

[dmzTahoe]

Announce the Pres is considering a suspension of elections in November til next year...

... then watch the press and the Dems (as their heads explode) announce that all is under control and there is no longer a problem.

I do not remember anything like this back ‘09 with H1N1, but back then I was in a panic about what Obama Care was doing to everyone.

[Sequoyah101]

Was he saying how happy he was?

[GnuThere]

Brilliant!
Just like Trump claims he should have said, “Absolutely NO wall!!” to get all the funds he would need for the wall. The Left is so obvious.
