Trump to discuss Coronavirus at Wednesday evening news conference, 6 PM ET

President Trump announced Wednesday that he would be holding a 6 p.m. ET news conference to discuss the coronavirus, which is rapidly spreading around the world and triggering fears of a pandemic.

The president also bashed the media and Democrats for allegedly overhyping the threat.

"Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus [sic] look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible," Trump said, referencing dives in the U.S. stock market both Monday and Tuesday which were triggered by fears about coronavirus. "Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape!"

"I will be having a News Conference at the White House, on this subject, today at 6:00 P.M. CDC representatives, and others, will be there. Thank you!" he wrote.

The president's announcement follows criticism from many in the media about his administration's handling of the threat and comments made by Democratic presidential contenders Tuesday night on the South Carolina debate stage to the same effect.

Ahead of the debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted that Trump is mishandling the U.S. government's response to the virus, which originated in China's Wuhan province and has infected tens of thousands around the globe, despite largely sparing U.S. citizens on American soil so far.

"The Trump administration is absolutely bungling the response to coronavirus, putting our public health and our economy at risk," she said. "This is why we need a real plan and an adult in charge."

Warren then tweeted her plan for "combating infectious disease outbreaks," and went on to slam Trump for "crisis mismanagement," previous budget cuts to health programs and not taking a stronger stance against Chinese President Xi Jinping after his country's largely opaque response to the outbreak.

President Trump has proven himself to be a man of his word.

I trust him on this.

Watch for them to suddently “find” a US case ten minutes after he concludes this presser.

When it comes to this disease, people with an agenda are out in force. The Democrats are starting to exaggerate the severity of this disease in order to blame it on Trump. People on the right are using the disease to clamp down on migration and the Chinese. Some Christians who are aghast at moral collapse see the disease as one of the plagues in the Bible’s Book of Revelation. The public health socialists have an incentive to use the disease to justify their budgets and ability to control people. Stock market traders will buy-up securities at reduced prices.

Watch for the network nightly news to sensationalize and hype the dangers and spread of Coronavirus ahead of Trumps comments. Watch the CDC to issue a new panic statement again today which will then be hyped.

If they can crash the economy, somehow turn this into Trump’s Katrina, or both, you can bet your last dollar they’ll do just that. They are desperate.

RE: Some Christians who are aghast at moral collapse see the disease as one of the plagues in the Bible’s Book of Revelation.

Can they explain to us why even righteous Christians in China are being infected?

I thought that Lot and his family were spared the punishment meted on Sodom and Gomorrah?

“USA in great shape!”

I hope everything is, and will be, as totally hunky-dory as he claims, for the good of the country. Also, if things don’t turn out all sunshine and roses this likely come back to bite him.

Evening news Trump causes coronavirus.

[Don Corleone]

including panicking markets,

A real worry about supply chains exists. That must be accepted.

“Can they explain to us why even righteous Christians in China are being infected?

—
Lot and his family all died, as do even the most “righteous” of Christians.
Romans 3:10:”There is no one righteous, not even one”
Romans 6:23: “The wages of sin is death.”

Should provide a good indication of what news his handlers allow him to see...

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.

Also, if things don’t turn out all sunshine and roses this likely come back to bite him.

Right.

He’s aware of this, too.

And, of all of the 150 million or so of us left after Biden’s debate revelation, he’s the one with best access to good information.

Let’s see if the Rat stations carry it.

Watch for them to suddently “find” a US case ten minutes after he concludes this presser.

Of course.

*sigh*

[I want the USA back]

Betting the media doesn’t cover it, so they can blame Trump for anything that happens later.

[cowboyusa]

Market was up 400 pts. Than commie cnn ran a scare story.

[LouieFisk]

I remember that - The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, when 150 million Americans were gunned down in a garage. Day in infamy, it was.
Gotta love a Joe Biden history-baaed pep talk!

“Watch the CDC to issue a new panic statement again today which will then be hyped.”

Anything the CDC or other elements of the administration, and the media, says about this virus is subject to the correction of time.

Inciting panic this far out from an election does not serve their political agenda.

I don’t believe such a conspiracy exists.

This is just generic reaction to a disease threat that every government to date has minimized.

Time will tell the truth.
