These are not the polls the corrupt news media was hoping to see. Not at all. – After two solid weeks of the corrupt news media and prominent Democrats parroting the talking points of the communist Chinese government, the public is obviously grown weary of the nonsense. No one with a normal, functioning brain believes that the terms “Chinese flu” or “China virus” that President Donald Trump likes to use are in any real way “racist.” They simply – and accurately – identify the source of the virus that is killing thousands of people all over the world.

Hat Tip GKJoe I knew there was something sketchy about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Within the WikiLeaks HRC email files there’s a letter from Fauci to Hillary Clinton through her aid/lawyer Cheryl Mills: “Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.” LOOK:

Maybe it should come as no surprise then that Dr. Anthony Fauci offered glowing praise for Crooked Hillary in a leaked January 26, 2016 email. The letter from Dr. Fauci to Hillary Clinton in January 2016 included “from your doctor admirer.”>{? A second letter from Fauci to Hillary “her speech brought me to tears…tell the Secretary I love her”.

Dr Anthony Fauci has rebuked Donald Trump's claim that anti-malaria drug chloroquine could be a game-changer in the fight against COVID-19. Dr Facui, who is a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, made the claim during an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN Thursday evening. 'There's no magic drug for coronavirus right now,' the top doctor told Cooper. Earlier in the day, Trump told media that there had been positive results after doctors trialled chloroquine on COVID-19 patients, and suggested the drug could be a game-changer. 'It's shown very, very encouraging early results. We're going to be able...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday that the blame for the slow pace of testing for coronavirus in the U.S. does not lie with either President Trump or the CDC. Fauci told Hugh Hewitt on "The Hugh Hewitt" show that a "technical glitch" resulted in the delay in production of usable tests in the U.S., something Fauci prescribed to random error. "[I]t was a complicated series of multiple things that conflated that just, you know, went the wrong way. One of them was a...

During an interview on Sunday, NBC's Chuck Todd asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about the need for Americans across the nation to undergo a lockdown, particularly because some states and areas are making people self-quarantine while others are not. "Are you risking something if not everybody is following the same guidelines?" Todd asked."No, Chuck," Fauci replied. "You always wanna be ahead of the curve. The golden rule that I say Is that when you think you're doing too much you're probably doing enough or not enough. That's the thing you...

The nation's leading infectious diseases expert shut down a line of questioning by a CNN anchor who asked why he touched the same podium and microphone as President Trump. . . . "The picture you showed about the microphone, let’s get real here. There are certain things that you have to do. If I left the microphone like that, you would see nothing but the microphone," Fauci said. "My putting my two fingers to get the microphone down isn’t that bad, so I don’t think we should make something of that."

At a press conference announcing a state of emergency on Friday, NBC News reporter Kristen Welker asked President Trump if he takes responsibility for a lag in coronavirus testing, something she said Dr. Anthony Fauci called a "failing." Fauci, who was at the press conference, corrected the reporter and said the failure he was talking about was the CDC's system, that it was not designed for what was needed. Fauci said looking forward, "the system will take care of it." "Dr. Fauci said earlier this week that the lag in testing was in fact a failing. Do you take responsibility...

Dr. Anthony Fauci has become a rare source of frank honesty from within the White House coronavirus task force in recent weeks, holding firm with an at times overly optimistic President and gently recommending steps forward in the face of crisis. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases -- and a doctor for the National Institutes of Health for more than 50 years -- has even won public praise from President Donald Trump. Trump went so far as to say Fauci was doing a "tremendous job" and "working long, long hours" during a Rose Garden news...

This morning, Alisyn Camerota portentously proclaimed that CNN has declared coronavirus a "global pandemic." But CNN's guests weren't highly emotional wrecks worried about what's next. First, a passenger onboard the Grand Princess cruise ship off California told a CNN reporter via an online conversation that he was not worried "at all" about contracting coronavirus, given that he's been quarantined and protected in his room. The passenger also said that he "absolutely" viewed the situation as "overkill."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Testing for the novel coronavirus continues to face severe limitations... The shortfall compounds a month of sluggish progress in deploying diagnostic tests developed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, if not quickly remedied, will continue to substantially undercount infected patients and could hinder efforts to contain the outbreak. The chemicals needed, known as reagents, are used to extract genetic material from a nasal swab sample, among the first steps in the testing process. Demand for reagents has left a key supplier struggling to keep pace with orders from countries around the world. The new information provides...

On Friday morning, President Donald Trump criticized his predecessor former President Barack Obama for refusing to fix issues at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and allegedly making “changes” that only “complicated” the problems. The president told the public that his administration, however, has cut through the “red tape” and are now “ready to go.” “For decades the [CDC] looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it,” President Trump posted to social media. “It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped.” “President Obama made...

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Friday criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for being ill-prepared to test for the coronavirus and he blamed President Barack Obama for the situation. "For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.....," Trump wrote. In a follow-up tweet, Trump continued his broadside, ".... Their response to H1N1 Swine flu was a full scale disaster, with...

While everyone is in a panic about the coronavirus (officially renamed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization), there's an even deadlier virus many people are forgetting about: the flu. Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000. The CDC also estimates that up to 31 million Americans have caught the flu this season, with 210,000 to 370,000...

With Coronavirus being the new kid on the block and getting all the media attention — thanks in small part to the fact that it’s affecting the economy, giving them another anti-Trump narrative to play with — it’s gone overlooked that right here at home, the influenza virus has been wreaking havoc all on its own. According to the Daily Wire, CDC reports are showing an unusually high number of deaths thanks to the flu. A number that ranges to around 20,000 people: According to the most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), among the roughly 34...

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided a grim reminder of the toll that the flu has taken on Americans. The CDC said that so far this season, about 20,000 people have died of the flu, including 136 children. The CDC's most recent flu report says that as of February 29, hospitalization rates among children aged 4 and under were the highest on record at this point in the season, surpassing rates reported during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. The 136 children's deaths also mark the highest on record since...

Rules are changing on who can be tested for coronavirus after a growing number of people demanding to be checked have been turned away. The Centers for Disease Control issued new guidance Tuesday. Anyone can be tested for COVID-19 with no restrictions, so long as it's requested by their doctor. Vice President Mike Pence said millions of tests could be available by the end of the week. In addition to the new testing standards, some health care agencies are offering virtual visits where people can talk to a medical professional online. MultiCare Health System i offering these virtual visits for...

SARS, the 1918 flu pandemic, and Ebola have all helped public health officials prepare for major outbreaks. Each major outbreak is different though, and experts have a hard time predicting how they will end. The fallout of each disease largely depends on other circumstances — when we catch it, how contagious and fatal it is, how hygienic people are, and how quickly a vaccine or cure becomes available. With new cases of the new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, growing day by day, it’s natural to compare the new disease to other outbreaks in recent history. There was the 1918 influenza,...
