He apparently put off testing, because he wanted the numbers to be kept low, so that it wouldn't hurt his re-election. Not that he seems to have to worry about THAT, since his followers accept everything he says, and try to make excuses for everything.IP: Logged |

Same over here, all schools, from kindergarten to universities will close from next Monday until further notice. And non life threatening surgeries that involve intensive care/resuscitation unit will be postponed to free some beds in hospitals. I don’t know if Trump is or isn’t doing enough, but it is funny watching Fox News and trumpets play the keep cool, no panic card when they usually fan the flames of populism... ah ahah !!!

http://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. IP: Logged |

What the hell was going on? Who was in charge, a Wallaby? Millions infected. 1,000 American dead! And then, Sir Barack of Obama declared a National Health Emergency! We need answers! Why did 13,000 Americans have to die on Obama's watch while he sat on his thumb in the Oval Office doing nothing. No plan, no vaccine, no leadership! Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until 'Millions' Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 National Emergency Victoria Taft 2020-02-28 "Let's call it Trumpvirus," urged a New York Times opinion writer conspiratorially. Nancy Pelosi groused that President Trump waited too long to attack the coronavirus (COVID-19) and then impetuously declared he couldn't have leftover and unspent Ebola virus money to fight it, while Senator Chuck Schumer looked down his nose and over his glasses to intone that it was the end of the world and the president hadn't spent enough money to stop the scourge. Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg have both been called out for politicizing the virus.
By their lights, Trump's doing it all wrong. They won't be able to tell you why, but (stomps foot) they just know. They're praying for a pandemic filled with infected people and decimation of the stock market just to fix Trump's wagon in his re-election campaign, now that the whole Russian-secret-agent and peeing-hooker story went belly-up. They just know that he's such a dummy that it wouldn't ever occur to him to stop air travel from an infected nation, increase screenings, involuntarily quarantine those infected with the virus when they were repatriated and seek a vaccine now. Oh, wait, he has done all of those things and has been called a racist for doing it.... ....As we suspect, the Chinese government tried to keep the virus outbreak secret – for what reason we don't know. What we do know, however, is that by January 31, 2020, President Trump had declared a public health emergency and began restricting U.S. access to non-citizens from China. Flights filled with U.S. citizens who were in Wuhan were brought to America and those people were quarantined on U.S. military bases for two weeks. Though he lamented being called a "racist" for doing so, Trump says if he hadn't hardened the U.S. borders at that point, the virus would have had gained a bigger foothold in the country..... .....In a second story, the New York Times examines growing confusion and anger among H1N1 vaccine-seekers in the U.S. Though the U.S. is currently experiencing an H1N1 vaccine shortage, health officials say current H1N1 shortages “are temporary.” Furthermore, the CDC's Frieden fretted at the time that efforts to create a vaccine had stumbled........... .....But wait, there's more. According to Virology Journal, the 2009 H1N1 came into the U.S. from Mexico: The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 'triple-reassortant' influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000. Now, about that "racist" wall ... Every time the Left tries to make Trump look bad on this issue they're found to be frauds.... .....Democrats and their allies in the media and "fact check" sites have weaponized the virus stories to get Trump. Of course they have. (But, it's not working and only makes them look like the hate mongers they really are.) Just thought I'd throw that last in for our own little band of Trump haters here! http://pjmedia.com/trending/fact-check-obama- waited-until-millions-infected-and-1000-dead-in-u-s-before-declaring-h1n1-emergency/

This is a cold cruel form of government where his re election chances come before lives. Hmmmm sounds like a king? A monarch ? Exactly what the founding fathers despised.

It sounds like what politicians have always done and will continue to do.Trump (or his admin) is no different, no more or less evil. It is only that the evil is becoming more visible. IP: Logged |

Maybe it is that 5 planet ... what do you call it? Stellar? .. that five planet scorp cluster I have, or maybe it is a past life memory thing, but when observing higher levels of power in the modern world, I rarely attribute to stupidity what I can attribute to malfeseance. Im sorry but this assumption that the highest echelons of power mean you good is really ******* stupid. IP: Logged |

That is a good question teasel, I just want to add something here for those who think it is already over. if you consider coronavirus is likely to affect more the elderly, who won't go out to vote for Biden, added to the unlikelihood of a lower turn out of Bernie ´ s supporters, plus obviously the debate which will expose the empty program, except get rid of Trump of joe Biden, which can work for for the democrat primary but not for the election itself, then there is still a chance Bernie takes the lead. He ´s not that far and when you consider he's got the establishment of the party against him, he ´s doing pretty well. there is hope for him.It isn't over until it is over IP: Logged |

It's going to be a massacre the likes of which we have never seen. I gather that the Dems are worried that if Bernie receives the nomination, it will cause them irreparable harm in 2024. So, they have all united to place Biden on the altar to be sacrificed to appease Trump.IP: Logged |

Biden's domination is a result of a few factors:1) Blacks, who associate Biden with Obama, coming out in droves to voter for him "biden knows us" is the catch phrase 2) Young people, who comprise a lot of Bernies followers, seem to be all bark and no bite, lots of tweets, no show at the election day 3) White middle class voters seeking stability turning to biden over bernie There you have it

Bernie was never going to be allowed that nomination, no matter what. And yes, African-Americans saved Biden in SC, and yes, Bernie supporters are typically nonvoters. IP: Logged |

It apparently has to do with the travel ban TRUMP put in place.
