Where's the gratitude, Democrats???

I hope you're not prematurely raising the "Mission Accomplished" flag. President Donald Trump told a group of governors on Monday that they're responsible for getting the vital medical equipment needed to treat coronavirus patients in their states. Could get ugly.

“Liberal Hack Reporters Deliberately Use Half of President Trump’s Quote in Conference Call with Governors on Coronavirus in Order to Cause Panic

President Trump on Monday spoke to the nation’s governors as part of his ongoing efforts to assist states in combating the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Like clockwork the lying liberal media hacks only used half of President Trump’s quote to governors in order to cause more panic and mass hysteria.

New York Times reporter Mara Gay is not only bad at math, she deliberately only used half of the President’s quote in order to make it sound like Trump told the governors they are on their own.

“Trump told governors this morning they are on their own: “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,” Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times,” Mara Gay said on Twitter.

Julie Bosman, another New York Times hack reporter did the same thing as Mara Gay and only used half of Trump’s quote.

The full quote from President Trump is as follows: “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”


Appalling misrepresentation of a quote. The full quote was "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves first"--basically saying pricing could be more efficient on the front end. Good Lord. https://twitter.com/MaraGay/status/1239603785275670529 …

He most definitely did not say they are “on their own.”

The President quite clearly said states would have the backing of the federal government but that they might have better success if they moved forward on their own first.”

Ready to admit what a fool you are?????

'He most definitely did not say they are “on their own.”'

And that is why I never used those words. He did pin the rose on the governors to make the initial try to obtain the needed equipment. Did he really think 50 states, each trying to obtain the same equipment, equipment already in short supply, would be an efficient and cost effective way to operate? Or did he just refuse to accept responsibility for the the task knowing he could take credit if all went well and he could blame the states if things did not. Real leadership.

"Italy Totally Fine Thanks To Universal Healthcare
March 17th, 2020

ITALY—A new report has found that Italy is doing completely fine with no problems whatsoever thanks to its lauded universal healthcare system.


As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep the world, countries are going on lockdown, but not Italy. Its universal healthcare program means that everybody is doing great, "incredible even."

"It seems that having universal healthcare stops all health problems and magically makes enough medicine and care available for all," said one analyst. "It's remarkable -- in countries where there is no universal healthcare, everybody is dying. In countries where there is universal healthcare, the virus just stops right at the border. It's not allowed in. That's just science."

While backward countries with free market health systems are expected to be wiped out with a near 100% death rate, countries like Italy with universal healthcare continue to live life as though nothing is wrong. People are dancing in the streets and living out their utopian lives, unaware that the rest of the world is even facing a crisis.

"Coronavirus? Never heard of it," said one Italian man as he made a pizza "just because." "Nope, we've got universal healthcare here. We have left behind your primitive ideas like disease, viruses, and even death itself."

Canada is also doing perfect and absolutely will not lock its borders down to stop the crisis since "borders are evil," according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau."

When things were going the best they had in decades, thank the lord we have the government to step in and 'save' us.

It's always nice to find humor in tragedy but I hope we have at least tens of thousands of empty hospital beds at the ready.

Don't wait till it's too late — the coronavirus view of an American expat in Italy
By Marc J. Schiller — 03/18/20 08:30 AM EDT 130

As an American transplant who has been living through Italy’s coronavirus catastrophe, there is little doubt that America will soon see the tipping point in its rearview mirror. Yet, the U.S. will ignore the Italian tragedy at its peril. What specifically?

After initial reassurances that the virus posed little risk to most Italians, followed by a rapid escalation in the number of infections and deaths, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte took the extraordinary — and, for a Western democracy, courageous — step of creating a quarantine zone in northern Italy encompassing almost 15 million citizens. Yet, even then, some Italian political leaders wanted to soften the medically necessary restrictions out of concern that they would cause near-term harm to the country’s economy. So people were permitted to continue many of their daily activities, as long as they didn’t leave the restricted zone; some political leaders even urged that museums and other popular sites remain open to minimize the impact on tourism.

On March 10, Prime Minister Conte extended the lock-down to the entire nation and tightened the restrictions, given the public’s insufficient voluntary compliance. Virtually all businesses were closed, except for those selling food and pharmaceutical products; travel was prohibited unless permissible under one of four narrow exceptions relating to health and emergencies. But it was too late.

By March 17 there were 31,506 cases of coronavirus infection and 2,503 deaths in Italy. More than 12,894 people were hospitalized, with nearly 2,060 in intensive care. Health officials are now concerned that, if the spread continues, there will be insufficient hospital beds and ventilators for the seriously ill.

Italy went from relative calm to crisis in fewer than 20 days. Let me repeat that: In a mere 20 days, life as we knew it collapsed.

The patterns in Spain and France now are eerily similar. And those who believe the U.S. will somehow be different should remember — it’s the same virus.

With hindsight, it is now clear that the Italian government’s early efforts to assure people that there was no cause for undue alarm only caused widespread fear and mistrust. The government’s belief that it could both contain the virus and mitigate the impact on the economy proved to be misplaced. Prime Minister Conte’s decision to lock down a democratic country should not be under appreciated. It was an act of political courage, placing the welfare of the state above his own political interests. Yet, the fact that an earlier implementation might have spared Italy much of the pain it is now suffering should stand as a warning to other countries, including the United States, to act promptly and decisively. Half-measures, such as those we have seen until the past few days in the United States, will only lead to a more intense and prolonged health and economic crisis.

Watching all of this as a member of the virus’s higher-risk age group, I am reminded of President Kennedy’s book, “Profiles in Courage,” and can’t help wondering whether my native America has become a nation lacking the courageous leadership demanded by this moment.

For the sake of us all, I hope we have a president and members of Congress who, through immediate and decisive action, will earn their places among the courageous leaders of earlier generations who were profiled by John F. Kennedy.

Trump has repeatedly said that his decision to impose the travel restrictions on Jan. 31 was made despite objections from most of the experts on containing the spread of infectious disease.

3. Listening to a sports station last night, I heard this from Obama's Surgeon General:
[Charania] Sources: Dr. Vivek Murthy, former US Surgeon general, told NBA owners today about coronavirus: If the United States had not hardened its stance across country, millions were at risk to die — and cases will likely only increase, like they did in Italy, over the next 2-to-3 months.

another ingrate, Obama.....took him 6 months and 1,000 dead Americans to act.

"Obama declares H1N1 emergency
October 26, 2009 8:47 a.m. EDT
Washington (CNN) -- President Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the "rapid increase in illness" from the H1N1 influenza virus."

It isn't until paragraph 10 that this is noted:

"Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."




What a difference between this competent, America-loving executive and Obama.


Where's the gratitude, Democrats???

Trump would not have had to do anything if he had not done away with the office of contagious diseases. But then tRump is no smart idiot either.

"Fact-Checking Snopes: Website’s Political ‘Fact-Checker’ Is Just A Failed Liberal Blogger

…the site has tried to pose as a political fact-checker. But Snopes’ “fact-checking” looks more like playing defense for prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton and it’s political “fact-checker” describes herself as a liberal and has called Republicans “regressive” and afraid of “female agency.”

Snopes’ main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that — oddly enough — is known for publishing fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else.

While at Inquisitr, the future “fact-checker” consistently displayed clear partisanship (RELATED: Snopes Caught Lying About Lack Of American Flags At Democratic Convention)

She described herself as “openly left-leaning” and a liberal. She trashed the Tea Party as “teahadists.” She called Bill Clinton “one of our greatest” presidents. She claimed that conservatives only criticized Lena Dunham’s comparison of voting to sex because they “fear female agency.”

After blogging the Inquisitr, Lacapria joined Snopes, where she regularly plays defense for her fellow liberals. “

From the article you linked to.

"The official who once ran the White House pandemic program dismissed a false Democratic talking point that Trump eliminated the pandemic-response team and criticized reporters for parroting the claim in news stories.

"No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there," wrote former National Security Council adviser Tim Morrison for the Washington Post on Monday."

No you haven’t. Statistics about cases in Italy have nothing to do with my question.

Why are cases rising exponentially here if Trump is so effective?

Travel bans are intended to keep the virus out of the country. It didn’t work. The virus is here. That should be obvious.
