    Don't quit your day job. Of course it can help with the limiting the transmission, it's why it's listed as a measure. What else might be disrupted if the spread is so bad that kids are being required to stay home. Think hard.

    So its bad if they kids say home, but is also bad if the kids don't say home? At the worst, a caregiver is going to have stay with them. So you're hitting at some type of economic issue. How many times a year does a parent have to stay home with their child(ren)? And yet the world goes on.

    Interestingly there are no reported fatalities for those under 10 years old.

    we have entities to warn us, we don't need our prez to regurgitate the cdc, we need him to be positive & exude positiveness in the citizenry, that's what leaders do...

    but by all means, disparage the prez based upon feelings of hatred...

    As an initial matter, if COVID-19 starts to become a recurring yearly infection like the Flu, does that mean that it has gone away? Second, you quoting the actual experts and their statements on the subject just makes the case that Trump is further lying. Third, Trump made several other claims about COVID-19.

    Do you think he is right to claim that it is "under control?" He is not.

    Do you think he is right to say that we are very close to a vaccine? He is not.

    Do you think he is right to say that all of the US citizens infected with the coronavirus are getting better? He is not.

    We do not need the President to lie to the American People about a Global Health Pandemic.

    If I said zero would that change anything at all about this discussion? Is your position that there's nothing to worry about. People should not prepare?
    Everything that I've read from experts claim that this is a serious threat. It could result in nothing here in the US, it's possible that it becomes a problem. I hope it doesn't. But, there is a risk and we all should be prepared. It's f*cking common sense.

    Will the virus get into North Korea and what will the mortality rate be?

    Your post is way too calm and rational. You should have included at least one warning that "we're all going to die" with lots of !!!!!!!!'s after it for dramatic effect. Like this: we're all going to DIE!!!!!!!!!!

    Meanwhile maybe we should quit referring to the CDC.gov before the lefties realize the .gov means it is the government and works for/under/with Trump. It interferes with the narrative that we're all going to DIE!!!!!!!!!! and Trump and the government aren't doing ANYTHING to SAVE US!!!!!!! :angered:

    Said no one. Like, no one insinuated anything close to that. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

    I think this is false outrage honestly. If he would've said it's really scary we're doing the best we can though there would've been a thread saying "Why is Trump stoking fears about the Corona Virus"

    Are you blaming Trump for the DJIA drop? You used to claim the rise was to Obama's credit, shouldn't this drop be Obama's fault?
