    We, The People can blame Trump at the polls, HOWEVER, who will slap Red China's hands? Certainly not Trump......talk is cheap.

    Trump acted against the advice of the WHO and the Red Chinese. Trump may have listened to our medical experts who believed the Chinese data and concluded that the Corona virus was equivalent with regards to the contagiousness as our previous SARS infections. Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauchi are on record saying this. Is Trump supposed to be a medical epidemiologist with greater knowledge than them ??

    We've been through this very many times but those who hate Trump will continue to hate Trump and blame him for the tragic results of the Red Chinese (who could have prevented 95% of the global damage and deaths) coverup.

    Trump has been slapping the hands of the Red Chinese from the day he was sworn in. And there is legislation and policy changes in the works to bring back all our critical manufacturing of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals back to the US. IMO the US should refuse to honor the national debt held by China to pay for the economic bills needed to keep our workers receiving paychecks.

    Exactly, thank goodness Sen. Graham said we will cut off all aid to the WHO until they change their leadership. He rightly called China a pandemic incubator.

    Quote: "Trump has been slapping the hands of the Red Chinese from the day he was sworn in"

    HOWEVER,

    A $250 billion trade deal with China does not equate to;

    a. 100,000 American lives
    b. a $2 to 3 trillion economic rescue package, and
    c. the next pandemic due to China's wet markets, and dishonesty

    There were more deaths in New York Yesterday and there will be more today and more Tomorrow. COVID 19 has made major hits in Colorado and Kansas recently and will more to come in places like Nebraska and the Dakotas, and then will hit Wyoming and Montana. There will still be no end in sight for this as I can see. There may be light at the end of trhe tunnel, but how far is the light? Does anyone know? The death count keeps climbing and climbing and is there an end in sight? Residents will be told to stay at home longer for weeks and perhaps even months and maybe all through summer and fall and perhaps into next year. We may have more dead go into a year from now and still no end in sight. Trump may say that there is an end in sight, but he doesn't know what he's talking about and no one else. You have to wonder if this stay at home quarantine is even working. of distance from each other is working. If they don't work, We will all be doomed in one way or another. Prepare for theworse in the days, weeks, months or years to come. I may sound pessimist, but I din't see anything progressing as of yet. That's all for now.

    The deaths today are from infections which occurred 2 - 3 weeks ago. The daily number of hospitalizations are trending down. That is the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I once worked for a VP who had a habit of berating employees who had nothing to with costly mistakes, nor were they directly responsible.

    Hint; Trump says He'll 'Put A Hold' On Funds To WHO

    The WHO is a Red Chinese apologist. They claimed on 2/4 that there was no need for a travel ban. Trump is absolutely justified in pulling funding.

    No, not really. Our deaths per day continues to climb and the estimate is they will do so until April 16. It is expected that over 3,000 Americans will die that day, just from this virus. That's in addition to the approximately 8,000 Americans die on any given day. That means approximately 30% of all deaths in the United States will be from COVID. Once we hit that peak, we aren't done. Now we have to climb down the mountain as deaths per day slowly starts to go down.

    Now we have Easter coming up, with pastors of mega churches planning to hold services. There is one in PA who promises a Woodstock style Easter service. That could shoot us right up again.


    A note about estimates from IHME - they've been spot on so far, so there is every reason to believe they are right.

    In addition, 100% tariff on all Chinese goods until we recover our economic/fiscal cost of Covid19.

    That would just be a huge tax on American buyers.

    Maybe you should keep up with the news. Death projections continue to lower each day.

    You hit it right on the nose. Trump can't be trusted, What Trump talks about is pure fantasy.

    So. So. Much.

    From Yesterday's Alone:

    He said that mail-in voting should not be allowed because it results in voter fraud while defending his own use of mail-in voting because that is different.

    He said that no one could have foreseen this virus while discussing a Navarro memo that foresaw the full blown pandemic in January and then said that he essentially implemented everything in the memo which directly contradicts the statement he made on January 30th when he said "We think we have this virus very much under control," which was the same day that the WHO declared Covid-19 a global health crisis.

    And speaking of the WHO, Trump also said, "We're going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We're going to put a very powerful hold on it," mere moments before saying, "I'm not saying I'm going to do it, but we are going to look at it."

    So you have nothing. Trump knows he is a citizen. Assuming you accurately describe the memo which isn't linked Navarro is not a medical expert - the medical experts stated that the US had nothing to worry about in January and that the effect on the US would be minuscule on 2/17. And first Trump threatens action against the WHO and then states he hasn't made his mind up yet.
