Coronavirus News Conference

Which shouldn't be a problem for you.  We've been hearing about your sh@t for years..

Please,  put a plug in it. 

I don't think you answered the question.. you're still a dope ! Lol. 

Well, I did answer the question. So take your eyes of the market for a few seconds & you'll see that I did.

I'm trying real hard to be nice during Lent with people like you that caused the abortion we have now in the WH, so don't push me.

Bad boy. Bad boy.

You're not being nice.

This was a good quote about this and I think somewhat valid:

Remember when H1N1 exploded under obama (over 1,000 americans killed and tens of thousands infected before he did anything)? Remember how the media reacted? They didn't. But for some reason, something far milder occurs under Trump, he reacts more quickly, and he's demonized. The press also unnecessarily incited fear and panic, destabilizing the economy temporarily.

This is another good one:

The virus had more positive impact on the environment than all the climate change hoax efforts of the last 20 years!

The CDC said the first case was reported on April 15, 2009, and the government declared H1N1 a public health emergency on the April 26. The first test to detect the new virus was approved by the FDA two days later. Shipments of the new CDC test began May 1.

This sounds pretty quick to me.

Not sure I understand. Positive impact because people became more aware of our climate changing & wanted to take steps to stem the tide?

Was talking about Obama's response compared to Trump's:

On October 24, 2009, U.S. President Obama declared swine flu a national emergency

Pretty sure it was sarcasm by the guy.  For example, now everyone staying home.  Before they wasting CO2 going all over the place, etc.  Also, was being sarcastic about both of them being blown out of proportion by the media, etc. 

It took our Governor until last night to close all the beaches in Florida. South Florida Mayors had closed beaches last weekend.

And now NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio has been exposed. He's been hammering Trump for a lack of supplies but it turns out his City Hall didn't order the supplies until March 6th.

Time to look in the mirror Big Bill!

If you are using disinfectant wipes, don't flush them down the toilet.

They are bad for public sewer systems and septic tanks.

The chairman of the Riley County Commissioners suggested this week that the global coronavirus pandemic is not a problem locally because unlike in Italy, there are not a lot of Chinese people living in central Kansas, according to two other officials who attended the meeting Wednesday night.

Before we go any further, the scientific term for this kind of xenophobic falsehood is bunkum.

Usha Reddi, the mayor of Manhattan, Kansas, went to the meeting hoping that the commissioners would declare an emergency, which they ultimately did. But what she heard from the chairman, Republican Marvin Rodriguez, was this: “I’m paraphrasing, but he said we don’t have a problem here because Italy has a lot of Chinese people, and we don’t have that problem here.”

Reached by phone, Rodriguez told The Star Editorial Board, “I didn’t necessarily say it like that.” So how did he say it? “Italy has a problem with its health department, first. It’s health for everybody. I have a friend in the Navy, and he said in that area” of Northern Italy where that country’s first cases were reported, “there’s a garment industry and a lot of Chinese. If we were like Italy, we’d have it already.”

Wisconsin senator Johnson shows ignorance is everywhere, including his own shadow:

"...we don’t shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. It’s a risk we accept so we can move about. We don’t shut down our economies because tens of thousands of people die from the common flu.”

Just heard the 4P Rule re:what you can flush: Pee, Poop, Puke and Paper.

So if you ever get that late night loud knock on the door remember, you can't flush your ganja.

U.S. intelligence agencies were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February about the global danger posed by the coronavirus while Trump and lawmakers played down the threat and failed to take action that might have slowed the spread. Officials reported China was downplaying the outbreak.

Criminal negligence gets my vote.

It is a lucky time to be a Telluride resident.

Every person living in San Miguel County — sick or not — now qualifies for a free COVID-19 test. It is the first known place in the country testing on such a mass scale, and researchers and county public health experts say they hope it provides data on both how widespread the disease is and how strict quarantine measures can help stem the contagion.

The county isn’t paying for it. The tests are being paid for by an international biomedical company whose executives have a residence in Telluride. There are about 8,000 residents.

Talk about catching a break.

Come on now.  That is obviously not completely true:

Whom better to have as president during the coronavirus epidemic but a renowned germaphobe, the “build-the-wall” guy who refuses to kowtow to China?

It’s a unique set of characteristics showing that President Trump understood early the need for decisive measures such as travel restrictions on China, which he imposed in January.

Yet for that sensible decision — in defiance of the World Health Organization — he was criticized by Democrats such as Joe Biden as xenophobic, and by China as racist.

“This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia — hysterical xenophobia — and fearmongering,” said Biden the day after the travel restrictions were imposed

CNN ran a story warning that “the US coronavirus travel ban could backfire” and have the effect of “stigmatizing countries and ethnicities.”

The Chinese Communist Party’s official mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, called the ban “racist.”

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned it would increase “fear and stigma, with little public health benefit.”

It is hard to have much confidence in a United Nations bureaucracy run by the former health minister of the Marxist regime of Ethiopia. In 2017, Tedros tried to appoint then-Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe as a WHO goodwill ambassador, and he seems to have a soft spot for China.

The Council on Foreign Relations think tank said last week that Tedros owes China because it backed him in the election to become director-general in 2017.

Very good point.  But no one wants to say things like this because it is not politically correct.  For some reason everyone wants to absolve China, yet blame US for not taking extreme-enough measures.  

Never quite sure why a well person not showing any symptoms would want to waste a test that could be used by someone that might be infected.  

^^^ its the people who dont have any symptoms but are infected who pose the greatest risk of all.

How do you not understand this by now?

So your OK with the expired medical masks sent to cities? Other than the travel ban, what else did he do in early January to help prevent the spread of this disease? Why does he continue to over promise and under deliver while spreading false hope for the immediate future?

Sounds to me like the commissioner was pointing out Chinese people rather than China.

Especially when they could test negative today and positive tomorrow.
