Not holding my breath, for sure.

Did he shut down traffic from China very early on and get heavily criticized by the left for doing it? Simple yes or no question.

Wow, just read through the thread...prayers and strength for you and family, good to hear about the last report.

Very sad, strength and prayers for the Westbrook family.

Strength and prayers.

Absolutely right, and remember he got hammered for shutting down travel from China when it was 100% the right thing to do. He can't win with the media and the lefties...good thing he doesn't care.

It continues to amaze me that we have become a society that automatically looks to the fed gov for all answers. Something like this happens and it is the responsibility of the fed gov to have had tens of millions of face-masks and coronaviris test kits stored in a bunker somewhere. No one saw this coming and Trump is doing a good job of handling it IMO...if this happened under Obama and he handled it the same way, the media would be praising him but since it's Trump, he can do nothing right.

[Hidden Content] Wait for it..."Trump holding up aid for those that desperately need it!"

Yep...smh. [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] Related to earlier posted articles...as if we needed any more proof that Democrats are not concerned with public interest or safety. From the article: Democrats overnight had blocked the massive economic rescue package, teeing up new negotiations Monday morning. But issues having nothing to do with coronavirus have become impediments to the relief package, according to a senior Republican aide. “As Leader Schumer continues to hold up the desperately-needed relief package, the last-minute list of demands from Pelosi’s and Schumer’s ideological wish list are coming into focus,” the aide said. These include new collective bargaining powers for unions, higher fuel emissions standards for airlines, and expanded wind and solar tax credits. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., confirmed this on Twitter Monday morning after the same information was tweeted by TownHall.com political editor and Fox News contributor Guy Benson. "This report is correct. Pelosi & Schumer are willing to risk your life, your job, your retirement savings for a radical, left-wing wish list that has nothing to do with this virus," Cotton said. "Disgraceful." “Not only are these completely unrelated to the coronavirus epidemic, they could prevent companies from participating in the loan programs altogether—directly causing unnecessary layoffs,” the aide said.

The Democrats haven’t been concerned about public interest in a long time. Most recently, they would have allowed traffic from China to the US to remain business as usual just to try and make Trump look bad. Good thing Trump went ahead and did what was good for public interest and safety. Power always trumps public interest and safety with the Democrats. Sad, but true.

I'm not disagreeing that this is a bad deal, but I also am not going to believe everything I hear just because they supposedly have "top" credentials. The WHO and the clown running it have a lot of responsibility in not slowing this down by running cover for their buddies in China at the very outset. They are also the same group that proclaimed France and Italy were #1 and #2 for the best healthcare systems a few years back. Just because some are skeptical of some sources in this doesn't mean they think it's nothing...that's certainly not my opinion. I will add that I think the media has caused much hysteria that we see, but that's just business as usual.

Good post...like everything, scientific "facts" are only as good as the "scientist" that is interpreting them.

The John Hopkins website is an excellent source for information...great format.

We are OK with government assistance as long as it benefits those that actually need it and it isn't multi-generational support.

Might have to buy it on the black market.

[Hidden Content] From the article: “This is a Democratic district. Let’s have a Real Democrat fighting for us,” Newman tweeted Monday, including infographics showing how Lipinski’s past votes against Obamacare and for restricting access to women’s reproductive healthcare are at odds with her own support for universal healthcare and greater access to abortions. You're not a "real" Democrat unless you're all in on murdering babies.

When he was in office there was normally no doubt.

lol...boom!

Exactly...not even close.

No they don't...the Republicans never came out in mass and blamed the severity of swine flu on Obama. Just look at the Mueller, Kavanaugh and impeachment garbage...your party owns the Washington childish behavior...it's not even close.

I got your point, but at this time you have no way of predicting the ratio of severity to frequency. Do you really think the numbers won't go up tremendously when more testing takes place over the next weeks and months? That's my point. Your point seems to want to drive the hysteria that we are seeing.
