Over half of all cases and deaths are in NYC and NJ.
Block all the roads.
It’s beyond control. NY and the surrounding areas serviced by the subways and trains from NYC account for over 50% of all US infections. de Blasio and Cuomo who didn’t heed the CDC warnings, now blame Trump for this gross mismanagement
Are you saying POTUS is lying?
Not sure what your ‘apocalypse’ part point is.
Japan - where I be - reporting a total of 100 deaths nationwide . Sure thought there would be many more by now .
Assuming the numbers ain’t been cooked.
He’s telling the truth. People shouldn’t be surprised
This shite is getting old.....I really don’t even care anymore...think I’ll go golfing tomorrow.
You have no idea what an apocalypse is! What they are doing is estimating that we could at the worst point of the infection’s cycle.
I was last in the city on Friday, March 13.
This weekend in Southern Connecticut, I'm carrying on business as usual best I can. Spending a lot of time outdoors in fresh air, taking lots of walks, reading some books. I have the television set OFF except for the daily Trump press briefings.
No...he’s not predicting this. He’s repeating what the “experts” are telling him.
Other than NY and NJ and some sanctuary cities, this is overblown hysteria.
A little less than 8,000 people die every day in America. If we tally the number of deaths we’d expect to see from 3/1/2020 to 4/5/2020, that number is approx 288,000. 8,000 Chi-com flu deaths are a little less the 3% of this number during that period.
The press could be working to calm people and keep things in perspective, instead they are trying to terrorize us into national self-destruction.
Yea, this crap is getting old.
It's not the apocalypse, but it's a bad virus, and we have no herd immunity against it. Although there are ‘experts’ coming out of the woodwork, no one knows all that we need to know about this virus.
We don't know why some people (even young patients without pre-conditions) wind up with severe respiratory failure and/or multi-organ system failure, and others (even older patients with pre-existing conditions) have mild symptoms - or no symptoms at all.
We don't know exactly how it's transmitted (yes we know some routes of transmission, but we really don't know all we need to know about how it spreads). We don't know how many strains there are out there in this outbreak, or truly how rapidly it is mutating.
We don't know what ‘recovery’ means (e.g., Can you still shed virus? Is immunity widespread and persistent in those who have recovered? For those who've had severe illness and have recovered, what are the sequelae?).
We really don't know what the mortality rate is, because we don't really know how many people have had it).
We truly do not know how it evolved, or whether or not it is the result of some degree of genetic engineering (nothing in the literature, and nothing that's been discussed publicly answers this question definitively).
Trump has been put in a corner by the lefty advisers around him, Fauci in particular. If he doesn’t pass along their dire predictions based on bogus models, if things get worse, the media will blame him for the increase in deaths all the way to November.
They are going to blame him anyway, but most people know that’s nonsense, in fact most people believe he’s doing a very good job. If he doesn’t play along with what they are saying, then he’s leaving himself wide open “Trump ignored experts around him, thousands more die”.
All he can do is go along with whatever they say & recommend. All this MSM talk about “it’s going to get even worse for a while”, is going to kill the markets next week. All one can hope for is that the results of HCQ provide a counter balance to the hysteria, but Fauci & the MSM are downplaying the encouraging news from HCQ and other treatments being tested.
Fauci wants to get those numbers up there and he does that by testing sick people....pat them on the back and send them home. No meds.....just a number tatooed on their arm. To Fauci....you're just a number.
I cannot believe that we are going to have 100,000 to TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND people in this country die of this when the whole world hasn’t had that many, IF you believe the Red Chinese’s numbers (NOT!!!)!! The nation with the best medical care in the world, best doctors and hospitals (well maybe, Israel is pretty danged good) and we are going to drop like flies??? Hard to believe. IF these are going to be the numbers, then the USA is SHUT DOWN until 2021. No way we cleanse the country in a couple of months if we have this many deaths. No way, no how.
covid 19 + Flu deaths are still WAY below Flu deaths alone in the 2017-2018 flu season.
covid 19 + Flu deaths are still WAY below Flu deaths alone in the 2017-2018 flu season.
Flu season in the US lasts for 13 weeks.
61,000 people died in the 2017-2018 flu season.
That means 670 people died every day during 2017-2018 flu season. And was barely mentioned on the news.
