we will not be overwhelmed by covid 19 !

He doesn’t seem to have a clue. Hope fate is kind to this nation.

we have a strong team and a strong POTUS ! we have already minimized the spread !

We have a useless "leader" who's more concerned about appearances that saving lives.

Nope.. Obama is no longer our president...

Trump on the other hand has made available all necessary testing materials for all hospitals in the US and their laboratories. That happened this week. It was the training on how to use existing lab procedures and products to identify those who are positive.

Trumps actions on limiting persons infected into our country bought us time to train on minimization of infections and learn about this virus. Trump did what was necessary and now the professional sports and entertainment industries are now shutting down to slow the progress of the virus transmission.

All of these things Trump has initiated and done were necessary and prudent to slow the spreed. THAT HAS SAVED LIVES AND CONTINUES TO SAVE LIVES!!

Quit ******* lying......

We've minimized it? Sorry, but the rates are still climbing, and there are now towns like New Rochelle NY that are under quarantine. Sorry, that doesn't sound like anything is being minimized.

we shall see ... oh the numbers will climb but our hospitals will not be overwhelmed like those in China were .

The numbers will grow but not as fast as the numbers in the EU countries largely because the President took quick action to limit the spread of the infection with travel bans and to provide the resources and planning necessary to contain it. The early ban on travel from China and other countries with high rates of infection bought us time to build up our resources to combat this disease.

What good are the travel bans gonna do? It's already here and spreading. Thanks to the lack of test kits we have no idea how far or how fast.

You know, not only is South Korea managing to test 20,000 people a day, they even have drive through testing. If the US is so prepared and great, why are we not able to test our citizens? And the really sad thing is, we don't even have a rough guess of how many people actually are infected.

‘We're behind the curve’: U.S. hospitals confront the challenges of large-scale coronavirus testing | Science | AAAS

In the United States, in contrast, COVID-19 cases are climbing at an alarming rate, and people who have received tests for the virus, SARS-CoV-2, remain few and far between. (No official number exists, but fewer than 5000 people in the United States had received a test as of 9 March, according to an Atlantic article that attempted to tally the total.) The White House coronavirus task force has insisted that early problems created by a faulty test distributed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been overcome and that the U.S. government has increased production of functioning diagnostic kits. There has also been a push to move testing away from CDC itself and state labs to hospitals and commercial companies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 29 February changed its regulations to allow diagnostic labs that previously have met federal quality standards to modify the CDC protocol or design their own kits.

The US has a very low infection rate and death rate and SK has one of the highest infection rates and death rates in the world. Furthermore, except for a few small communities in NY and Washington state, nearly all US cases are the result of close contact spread rather than community spread, while the virus is so widespread in SK that nearly all the cases are the result of community spread there, so it makes no sense to adopt the policies of SK when our situations are so different. We currently have ten times the number of test kits that are needed in the US and no one whose doctor has requested a test has to wait for one.

Their death rate is less than one percent. It's the lowest in the world.

Facts, they can be inconvenient.

First, there are plenty of test kits. The CDC has shipped 75,000 test kits to the states and only a little over 7,000 people have been tested because healthcare providers have only request that many tests. The CDC keeps track of two kinds of spreading, close contact and community spread. Close contact spread means they can identify the infected individual you caught the virus from and isolate both of you before you infect anyone else. Community spread means the infection is so wide spread in a region that it is impossible to identify who infected you. Obviously, community spread is much worse than close contact spread. Isolating individuals or communities in the case of community spread will reduce the rate of infection to the rest of us, but bringing more infected people into the country will start another trail of infection and raise the probability of infection for Americans.

You know what? I'll be thrilled if you're correct and it's already tapering off.

But I don't think you are.

 

[candycorn]

Trump didn't outsource most of our medicines and medical supplies to China. Trump didn't put so many regulations in place to make it impossible to start up new companies that could manufacture the equipment we need. Trump acted earlier than most would to impose a travel ban on China and took criticism from other politicians for doing so. One thing Trump doesn't have is the ability to tell the future. I think he is doing better than most people in his position would do.

He’s been President for 3 years; he didn’t do enough apparently to remedy what you posted above.

SK has a population of about 51 million and 66 dead and the US has more than six times that population and only 36 dead so unless you are retarded it should be clear to you that the US has a much lower fatality rate than SK. In fact, all but a few countries do.

travel bans will help prevent new cases from coming in from people that are not showing symptoms idiot ! i know you would love to see millions infected and thousands die so you and your scum of the earth left wing anti American killers of the unborn gender confused socialist overlords can capitalize politically ! unfortunately for you its not going to happen there will be less death in America than the h1n1 virus [a less lethal virus ] caused when your dear leader was palling in the WH with the muslim brotherhood !

Coronavirus Hysteria: The Numbers Don't Warrant the Media Hype - California Globe


There are already 18,000 deaths this year from the seasonal flu, while only 18 deaths this year from coronavirus

By Katy Grimes, March 9, 2020 2:41 pm

Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in California because of the 114 reported cases of the coronavirus in the state of 40 million residents. Was this to play into the hand of the media, which has hyped the flu virus as the next plague, particularly because every year, tens of thousands of people die of that season’s flu?

Common human coronaviruses cause mild to moderate upper respiratory symptoms, including the common cold, while more severe types can cause pneumonia and death, NPR reported.

“Let’s call it Trumpvirus,” a New York Times opinion writer said. Cable news hosts wear their most dire faces while reporting on the coronavirus flu, as though the United States has never seen or dealt with an outbreak.

An Associated Press article was equally dramatic and hysterical: “Crossing more borders, the new coronavirus hit a milestone Friday, infecting more than 100,000 people worldwide as it wove itself deeper into the daily lives of millions, infecting the powerful, the unprotected poor and vast masses in between.”

Conspicuously missing from the AP article is the important distinction that being “infected” for nearly everyone is not life-threatening, and most people don’t even know they had the virus.

This coronavirus, first observed in late December in Wuhan, China, and was reported to the World Health Organization China bureau in Beijing. By January 31, 2020, President Donald Trump had declared a public health emergency and began restricting U.S. access to non-citizens from China.

“Compare Trump’s response time to the H1N1 pandemic in June 2009, when American health officials declared a public health emergency, but it wasn’t until four months later, October, that then-President Obama declared an H1N1 national emergency. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.,” PJ Media reported.

Imagine if the media gave this much coverage to an actual pandemic health danger in California: hundreds of thousands of homeless drug addicts and the mentally ill living in squalor on city streets throughout California. Hepatitis, typhus, typhoid fever, and threats of Bubonic Plague are real in cities with homeless people living on streets, on rivers and in parks.

What good are the travel bans gonna do? It's already here and spreading. Thanks to the lack of test kits we have no idea how far or how fast.

There are fewer cases here than any other nation that has infected citizens...Trump shut down travel from China while you were still whacking off to impeachment...that's right dumbass...he was able to do his job with you little seditious rats biting at his ankles....the test kits put in to the field were for the wrong virus so that took time to correct but it has nothing to do with the number of infections in our nation....we can handle the flu unlike Obama that lost 12,000 Americans to Ebola.....

There are not fewer cases here.

There are fewer known cases here because we can't test for it.

This ain't rocket surgery kids.

are the hospitals overloaded with a massive influx of people sick with fevers and flu like symptoms ? the answer is no dumbass ! test or no test people would still be getting sick and a % would still have to be hospitalized ! yes the numbers will go up once more testing is done ! there will be maybe thousands more but not hundreds of thousands ! and if less people die from this in the US than the less lethal h1n1 did when your racist dear leader was in power you and all your leftwing peter puffing friends will look like ....wait for it...... wait for it ....will look like shit again !

 

[The Original Tree]

Not only that, for The Democrats this is their last Hail Mary. They and their media cronies are not going to be able to whip up this hysteria for very long. This kind or paranoia has a short shelf life.

Flu & Cold season is almost over.

and the reason why we wont be overwhelmed is because of Trumps aggressive response to the virus ! actions like the early travel ban [dems called it racist] and cutting regs and red tape to allow the private sector develop vaccines and treatments for those already infected ! even though it has a higher death rate than h1n1 a virus that killed nearly 20 thousand Americans ! the deadlier covid 19 will not kill nearly as many because of actions taken ! i predict that Trumps streamlining of the process and cooperation with the private sector instead of relying on mainly gov agencies will be seen as a brilliant strategy ! social distancing daily educational news briefings to educate the public [something we did not see during the last administration ] telling us how to reduce infection and how to avoid infecting others if you suspect you are infected [personal responsibility] will not only stop the covid 19 spread but it may set a new standard for disease and influenza measures ! thats right the steps taken by Americans may save 100s of thousands of lives during the regular flu seasons in the future ! and the Trump administration will be even stronger now that we have slowed infection !

 

[The Original Tree]

People like you who hope for Tragedy & Death don’t go to Heaven.

we have a strong team and a strong POTUS ! we have already minimized the spread !

He doesn’t know what the **** He’s doing and He doesn’t give a shit.

You people really are stupid
