You're full of shit. I haven't seen one person on here (except me*) who's rooting for disaster. You're projecting, as usual. *My business takes off when the economy is shit.
Make them work for the Trump government: As recently as October, 2019, the New York Times was still stating that the death toll during Trump's first flu season was 79,000.The CDC has since, quietly, lowered that number to 61,000 on government websites, a fact that has not been widely reported.https://t.co/YUTWaOpojt— The Daily Edge (@TheDailyEdge) February 27, 2020
My bible just collects dust. Doesn't pump out Texas Tea like this one. FAITH-BASED The Bible That Oozed Oil A small Georgia town, a prophecy about Donald Trump, and the story of how a miracle fell apart. https://slate.com/human-interest/20...rophecy-evangelical-miracle.html?via=taps_top
More like we’re very concerned about the ineptitude of the White House and the senate to handle a severe emergency. On top of that, Trump is purging never-Trumpers from government, i.e. career professionals and capable bureaucrats, precisely the kind of people needed in an emergency. Heckuva job Brownie!!!
I think you are conflating travel bans given the proximity that they were announced. The criticism I saw from Pelosi was related to Trump’s expansion of the travel ban to include 6 more countries. Not the ban on foreign nationals coming from China.. i could have missed it, tho. If you have a link...
You're not watching the news, suddenly the Corona virus is a campaign issue. And to not acknowledge the posts here blaming OrangeManBad is simply turning a blind eye. I have faith in the CDC when it comes to this outbreak, but not so much in the order border crowd so well represented here, and certainly not the Chinese. Anyway, most of this virus is unknown and the biggest threats are from outside our borders. Even Europe is clamping down and limiting movement, and I hear the IOC are considering canceling the Olympics.
I get all my news from this forum. That's too bad because I've been pondering whether Mikaela Shiffrin is the world's most dominant athlete. She's more dominant in her sport right now than Lebron or Messi ever were.
Apparently I won't have to.... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/...istleblower.html?referringSource=articleShare Federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible exposure to the coronavirus without proper medical training or protective gear, then scattered into the general population, according to a government whistle-blower who lawmakers say faced retaliation for reporting concerns. The team was “improperly deployed” to two military bases in California to assist the processing of Americans who had been evacuated from coronavirus hot zones in China and elsewhere, according to a portion of a narrative account shared with Congress and obtained by The New York Times ahead of a formal complaint to the Office of the Special Counsel, an independent government agency that handles federal whistle-blower complaints. Staff members from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families were sent to Travis Air Force Base and March Air Reserve Base in late January and early February and were ordered to enter quarantined areas, including a hangar where coronavirus evacuees were being received, the complaint said. They were not provided safety-protocol training until five days into their assignment, said the whistle-blower, who is described as a senior leader at the health agency. Without proper training or equipment, some of the exposed staff members moved freely around and off the bases, with at least one person staying in a nearby hotel and leaving California on a commercial flight. Many were unaware of the need to test their temperatures three times a day.
“One day like a miracle it will disappear” Trump has ordained...!!! President Donald Trump expressed optimism Thursday that the novel coronavirus would eventually be contained and eliminated in the United States, even as he acknowledged it could get worse first. “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” Trump told attendees at an African American History Month reception in the White House Cabinet Room. The World Health Organization says the virus has “pandemic potential” and medical experts have warned it will spread in the US.
They should have had an official White House reception to welcome them home. Perhaps even with Trump pinning medals on a few as they coughed on him.

Bullshit In 2005, during the H1N5 bird flu scare, the US Agency for International Development ran a program called Predict to identify and research infectious diseases in animal populations in the developing world. Most new viruses that impact humans — apparently including the one causing the Covid-19 disease — emerge through this route, so investing in early research is the kind of thing that, at modest ongoing cost, served to reduce the likelihood of rare but catastrophic events. The program was initiated under George W. Bush and continued through Barack Obama’s eight years in office;then last fall, the Trump administration shut it down. We currently have a far weaker ability to track these viruses than we did under Bush and Obama
It was between Pence and Jared... "The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t 'have anything else to do,' according to people familiar with the president’s comments." https://t.co/CXegTZK5Mm— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 27, 2020
The (so-called) mayor of Tokyo's Olympic Village agrees: http://www.startribune.com/tokyo-ioc-officials-reiterate-that-the-olympics-are-on/567822962/
If the Coronavirus doesn't spread in the US, I would actually become suspicious.(1) Otherwise, a virus with a long incubation period during which it can be spread unknowingly, which has already affected enough people in different regions in different continents, would be expected to eventually spread across any country that hasn't been closed off from the rest of the world. There is no (publicly revealed) specialized treatment, cure or vaccine that would make Americans more or less vulnerable to it than others either. In the meantime, without wanting to sound alarmist, let me mention that I have read of several deaths linked to the virus involving those who didn't appear to fit the profile of older or ill people with compromised immune systems. And that raises additional concerns and leaves me to question whether we know enough about the virus to rely too much on those who stress its 'low mortality' causing propensities and such. Never mind even 2 - 5% of a huge population of infected people (if the virus spreads as widely as some experts warn) is itself a huge number of people, the less the fatalities from the virus are restricted to any identifiable class of people (e.g.,the elderly, diabetics etc), the more widespread fears about the virus will be. And that fear itself, regardless of what any government will try to do to contain the panic and its repercussions, will have huge socio-economic and even political ramifications.--------------- --------------- (1) Already, among Iranians, this virus has done more to cause disillusionment and lack of confidence in its government than all the actions taken by the US against Iran combined! Which is why, coupled with the fact that the virus in Iran began at the epicenter of Iran's theocracy, namely Qum, and has disproportionately affected mid-to-upper level government and semi-political functionaries (which means the kind of people who are best situated to spread the virus in both directions, both to the highest levels in the government as well as to the average person in the streets), and also given the volume of rhetoric and propaganda using the Coronavirus as a political ax against the regime going back to when there weren't even any reported cases in Iran, I can't totally dismiss some of the 'conspiracy minded' concerns about this virus you sometimes hear from certain people either. A virus that begins in China, and hurts it economically, and finds its largest next victim among people in Qum in Iran (and among Iranian officials), and which in the Iranian context has an even greater chance of spreading all over the country, does raise suspicions if it is then somehow (absent some publicly revealed treatment, cure or vaccine) contained in America.
