C***d was the golden opportunity for the democrats with China joining in because is blocking their efforts to screw us over. The democrats are willing to go back to status quo with China and, as yhou said, tank the economy, to get rid of Trump. It is so easy to compare to 2009 and the H1N1 v***s which k**led over a thousand before a National Emergency was declared and then over the next year k**led another 11,500 and during all of that, zero panic, zero of anything like we have now.

I guess I am no longer friends with the guys I know who work in that field since I dared to ask why that is; why they are supporting such an over reaction. The reason, of course, they are Trump h**ers as well and also know that the preparedness actually fall on them. It makes them truly angry for me to have asked. Of course I asked a few different times and in different ways. LOL!

I expect the national shelter in place order to come through any day now.

"“I don't take responsibility at all because we were given a set of circumstances and we were given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time,” he told reporters. “It wasn't meant for this kind of an event with the kind of numbers that we're talking about.”

Exactly right, that falls to Obama's "p******c response team." That's what their name says they are. It's in their name!!!!

I was comparing ebola with C***d, not China with Africa.

Trump, Trump, Trump. Trump did not cause the slow roll out of testing. It was slowed by un-needed regulations left over from the Obama administration. Regulations everywhere. If anything, Trump aided in things getting rolling as well as they should have. Again, the Obama "p******c response team" failed to be prepared to respond, this despite increased funding of the CDC et al.

Just admit it wood, the Obama "p******c response team" left us unprepared to "respond." That much is clear as day!!! They had ten years to think through the needs for preparedness. They could have stocked up on ventilators. They could have had multiple facilities ready to manufacture test kits. Y'all's panic, itself, has slowed things down.

With Trump trying to restrict incoming from China a full month before any democrat even mentioned it, what did Trump do to slow things down? Would it have gone faster had the president himself panicked and screamed the sky is falling? LOL! Y'all would have proclaimed him a reactionary and played it down yourselves.

I will be something with you woody. I'll bet the death toll in the US due to c****av***s this year will be less than the US death toll of H1N1 was in it's first year. In fact, I'll bet its nearly half; that's about 6000 or so.

So why are we meekly following orders now?

A great question!!!

Not cases, deaths.

How many will actually die by e******n day? Take a guess. The one who gets the closest wins. I defy their projections!

Yep, so they get "experts" to produce "studies" and "simulations" which project millions will die in just the next six months. Ridiculous!!

Can we at least call it the Trump h**ers panic, or the l*****t panic?

I'll bet they are hiding like mice, too! I wonder what the reaction would be if they got it and kicked the bucket?

That says it all. Most don't even remember 2009 or 2010 simply because of the lack of media hype. And that was before there was even a flu v*****e.

I know you just can't admit it but Trump has done just fine, especially since there was no preparedness in place from the previous admin's "p******c response team" or the CDC. He was reacting and making efforts to begin the resistance while being impeached. The democrats did zero because that was all they were focused on. When Trump decided to halt incoming flights from China y'all scoffed, saying he was r****t and over reacting. He made comments to try to prevent panic but the media and y'all hyped it up anyway, making up stories that Trump wasn't doing anything, as if he runs the CDC itself and blaming the panic on his trying to actually reduce y'all's over reaction. Y'all were fomenting while he was remaining calm.

Certainly people are looking more closely at their information sources. LOL! Yes, they are watching much more closely the media spinners. It bothers them that many are unable to make a living on hype that might turn out to be just hype, or over hyped fear mongering. Many are beginning to get a taste of the robber freedoms as a result of that hype. They are doing more of their own research, seeing what the actual numbers are and the actual risk groups are. Many are now figuring out that although they might get sick or ill, for most it will be mild and the odds are in their favor for a favorable outcome. They are beginning to think in more realistic terms. Seeing the utter collapse of the stock market perplexes them and makes them think there is an underlying agenda going on here, at their expense; namely, the agenda to get rid of Trump at severe cost to them while y'all continue to rake in the advertising and click bait cash!!

Yep, they are reassessing! For sure!!

True. They already work like there is just a few up there as it is.

LOL! I'm not worried in the least but for having to deal with those who are.
