If Democrats try to use the coronavirus as a political weapon against Trump they could trigger panic in major cities including panic buy of food, run on banks, and riots.

There doesn't have to be a major outbreak. Just rumors to light the fuse.

Yep, and there are never more at home than in that type of environment ...

ABOUT TIME. Granted he was in India but having his administration hold a closed door briefing to Congress was simply wrong. He caused this mess by not getting in front of it, having full transparency, including honesty about the real numbers and deaths in China. Will we get the full story tonight? I hope so, else we'll see more Democrat and media criticism and conflicting reports.

This should be a long, boring conference with meaty details, not quick platitudes and then boisterous Q&A. Give us meaningful discussion and details!

Don’t put it past evil people to purposely have the virus brought in through those infected early and not showing signs. These people will do anything for power. President Trump needs to realize the means they will to go to take him out.

The democrats and their partners in the deep state will be working hard to spread the virus to multiple locations to make Trump look bad. As Rush would say “don’t doubt me” .

Until very recently, the media has been downplaying it, as Trump has. It is easy to downplay it when the CDC is not testing people.

This thing is being hyped big time!

The CDCs little telebriefing with the media was an abject joke! All they did was add fuel to the utter hysteria of this Coronavirus “outbreak.” The CDC provided no specifics, just warnings to foment fear among Americans!

The timing of their little telebriefing was very suspect! Sad so many FReepers are drinking the media kool-aid on this! It’s also troubling that Rod Rosenstein’s sister is the CDC official who had the briefing with the media! This apparently doesn’t bother some here who believe the Coronavirus hysteria.

Come on man! No...it won't.

Remember Zeka virus? How bout Avian, Swine, West Nile?

The so called experts at the World Health Org and CDC sent up the red flags during ALL of these strains....and then, they died.

It's all hype and most people look at it, then go get a cup of coffee or toodle on down to the pub as if nothing is going on.

Google search: flu deaths around the world

Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that’s higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year. The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal.

“The president initially misspelled the name of the virus.”

Childish, irrelevant comment.

Infidels/deplorables (see how that works)

Another “insurance policy”? It works either way. The depth of EVIL in this republic is unprecedented in our history. Evil is in our face, in our house “she’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding”. (”Get in their faces”...(666) ways to Sunday., etc., etc.). Were the ayatollahs (Great Satan) right? Why wasn’t a fatwa issued for “we came, we saw, he died”? Were the fat azzes too lazy or hers too big to slap it on? Like all POWER CENTERS (even DC-Divide and Control) they weren’t specific naming the individual with supporting evidence were they? They’ve gotten richer, fatter and lazier since Rushdie. And our criminals...well...

PIGS all.

Trump took some initial steps that made sense, establish team, discourage travel, then halt travel. After those quick steps it seems to have been nothing. Again, we need to see serious discussion and transparency. The mortality rate in Italy and Iran are in stark contrast to what China is sharing. Trump’s team needs to give update. It is great that were are less than 100 infected Americans here in the US, is that really true? Some reports say it is not. It is good that we seem to have stopped it at the border, are we doing enough? Should we close the borders? The economic impact may be most serious, are we doing enough to help companies transition production back to the US? That is a big area he might address. Bring those companies home! Minimize the impact on Americans.

While the President was busy handling coronavirus from its outset, the democrats were busy handling impeachment.

Inbound flights from Asia and Europe should be stopped, end of story.

Anything else is just idle chatter.

he will hold a news conference at 6 p.m. to address his administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Good idea, the media and the anti-Trumpers literally have cause a PANIC.

If he says any of this bullshit about the normal flu, you will know it’s here...and we are screwed.

I am not suggesting we are all gonna die. I am not saying anyone is going to die.

I am saying these grammar school arguments satisfy the less intelligent. But anyone who has followed this objectively know this is not the flu. The actions of countries demonstrate a much more serious problem.

In the end, I think Trump, the CDC, and the rest of our government will lie to our faces to calm the herd...right up to the point where the herd cannot be calmed.

Maybe Rosenstein’s sis Nancy at CDC could explain everything to us.

Am I the only one who remembers that the democrats and the media focused ALL their attention non impeachment?

Coronavirus?!?! What was that? Oh, that was the beer they were drinking at their impeachment celebration dinner.

Please, if the impeachment trial was going on now, you would hear jack and poop about this virus.

Every story from the fake news must be viewed through the lens of “they only report what they think can be used to hurt Trump and by extension America.”

Trump has to be careful not to guarantee that he keep control of this. He risks having a “heck of a job, Brownie” situation if he declares victory too soon.
