    As you have been saying Corona is much worse than H1N1, but it still doesn't take away from the fact Obama/Biden could have closed the southern border to all but essential traffic and closed travel to Mexico with minimal impact on the economy. The 12,000+ death toll would surely have been reduced, but Biden/Obama just let them die.

    There are countries that have handled this well (S. Korea), and then there's us. You don't think Trump will be blamed for this catastrophe? Where does the buck stop? With the guy at the top.

    Are you even aware of what's happening to this country right now? We lost 1,300 people yesterday. That makes Covid the third leading cause of death in this country, right now. Right behind cancer and heart attacks. And it's going to get a lot worse.

    They { Obama & Biden } basically used the same approach as China.
    They unreported the H1N1 and then waited instead of informing the
    public of it's seriousness.Plus the Role of our Vaunted CDC.
    Where were those fookers in 2009.Or in October 2019 when they
    learned of the Wuhan Virus.Keeping in mind Again how the Left Loves
    to cite Experts { Like the CDC } Or James Comey's F.B.I.
    Our vaunted Intelligence community.
    I think we now realize what the term " Psychological Warfare "
    was meant.

    So how many cases do you think there will be in the US by the end of April?
    Maybe we can make a donor bet. :)

    The curve has flattened in California drastically.L.A. County reported
    3 deaths on Thursday.
    I don't trust the numbers coming out of N.Y.city.Plus New York
    has been lying about stuff.Like their Ventilators and crowds at
    Hospitals.Why would a reasonable and conscientious American
    even want to hazard bad hunches as far as deaths.
    Theat tells me more than anything else.
    One could easily make the case that the Left in this Country
    and the MSM are actually cheering on more Pandemic panic.
    Which Rush Limbaugh had the good sense to do.
    Americans are gonna get a heady dose of just WHO in this
    Country wants to Keep it Great and Who wants it to panic and
    grovel.

    Why would a sane American Patriot EVER bet against the
    folk in this once Great Republic.This isn't some Las vegas
    odds matchup.A mere Boxing match.Just suggesting that proves
    where yer head is at.
    I no longer will engage with you.

    If you can't support your claims take your mask and go home.

    Impossible; Trump has said numerous times that CNN has no viewers, so there is no way they could have gotten any information like that from them. Perhaps Fox or Breitbart?

    Does the flu usually kill 1,300 Americans in a single day? Does it shut down entire countries?

    What do you think, smart guy?

    No question. Shutting down businesses is going to hurt for a long time.

    Strange that you would agree with someone saying the US will be a loser. Why so much anti Americanism from the left.

    Fake Republican Rhetoric

    President Obama knew how to get things done ............

    Trump only knows how to criticize others and drag his feet when America needs like a Leader

    I've already survived this virus, I'm 99% sure. Can't be 100% without a test, which I can't get, but all of the symptoms were there. When I called my doctor about it (nearly two weeks ago) they told me that if I can still get enough breath to speak in sentences of more than one word at a time, I should just stay home.

    After the dust settles on this crisis, I wonder how many Americans will test positive for COVID-19 antibodies? I'm guessing that will be an astoundingly high number, in the tens of millions.

    Stay safe and healthy, everyone.

    Glad you came out all right.
    I think in Iceland where they are pseudorandom testing about 50% are asymptomatic.

    Let's all pray this virus doesn't end up mutating. That could throw a wrench into the whole works.

    Your concern is that California dems aren’t socialist enough?

    In mid-April of 2009, however, the detection of two patients infected with swine origin flu viruses 130 miles apart, raised concern that a novel swine-origin influenza virus had made its way into the human population and was spreading among people.

    CDC remained in close contact with the international health community as the outbreak unfolded and on April 18, 2009, under the International Health Regulations (IHR) the United States International Health Regulations Program reported the 2009 H1N1 influenza cases to the World Health Organization (WHO). The cases also were reported to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Canada and Mexico, as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

    Yeah well. So far the US, rather rich nation,... massive amounts of people who won't be able to pay to be in the hospital with Corona. Even more people who can't afford to be sick at home. Yay capitalism.
