    More than that died last week from complications of other common respiratory viruses. Happens every year at this time.

    Yes, but see thats data you would have to be familiar with-most people have no frame of reference.

    Unlike Trump, whose initial comments included the bold assertion that the number of people in the US with the virus will be zero shortly and would have a lot of explaining to do if he wasn't surrounded by so many sycophants and cult members who support whatever nonsense he spurts out, I stand by every word you quoted from me as it was true and shown to be true.

    Post your source. That source you claim with Trump’s
    should be dated between Jan 27 and Feb 2.

    Look at the post below and whatever the date of that statement, it reflects the kind of nonsense Trump was sprouting until more recently.

    Because you stated Trump’s initial comments.
    So I conclude that you think President Trump issued a health emergency, travel bans and mandatory quarantines without making any comments for 4 weeks. Just like a typical liberal only hearing what fits the hoax. Sad, sad, sad.

    By initial comments, I was referring to before he changed his tune more recently the past few days, starting with the EU travel restrictions. Anyway, I am not interested in the kind of discussion you prefer as I don't find it informative or enlightening or anything worth discussing.

    So your source is printed 25 days after travel restrictions, mandatory quarantines and a health emergency were implemented.

    You would be shot down so hard in a court of law. “Well your honor, I was referring to before that became a law.”

    If “it’s not all that bad”, how can it justify declaring a national emergency and shutting down flights from Europe for a month?

    Tjose are extreme steps. Hardly something that is “not all that bad”. So which is it?

    Because over 6 weeks ago when President Trump implemented a health emergency, travel bans and mandatory quarantines he was labeled a racist over reacting abuser of power. Since then the hysteria has magnified 10,000 fold. Every sport has been shut down, every event has been cancelled, every cruise ship has docked and every liberal left blames Trump for this virus. Really can’t blame the liberal left since their only source of information is the fake news media. It’s just unfrigginbelievable how most people are so easily influenced. Only 50 Coronavirus deaths in the past 14 days of mostly the elderly with underlying issues compared to 94,500 deaths of other than Coronavirus in the same time frame has this country pissing razor blades. Trump had to do something to ease the ignorance. Six weeks ago it was a health emergency and China travel ban now its a national emergency and Europe travel van. Not much has changed in 6 weeks except now it’s easier for states to receive federal money. 50 Coronavirus deaths in the last 2 weeks is the same amount of people murdered in the streets of Baltimore and Chicago.

    Lol...You just don't get it, do you?
    If you want to understand trump, just remember that everything he does is done to save his own ass and not for the country he supposedly serves.
    Don't hide behind sophist nitpicking when the truth has been staring you in the face since 2017.
    Here's a partial summation of what's wrong with your boy trump.

    Help us make it end in November if you love your country.

    So you’re saying a summary of your opinions about Trump is what is wrong with Trump? Just like the Russian hoax, the racist claims, the Covington High kids, the Kavanaugh hearings, the Jussie Smollett hoax, the House Impeachment hoax and now the Coronavirus. The left is 100% non factual spew. I recall for months the left stating Trump is a Russian spy. I remember 2 years of Adam Schiff claiming to have proof of collusion. I remember a whistleblower that “Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that you were messing around.” Probably won’t be long before the left claims that Trump introduced the Coronavirus so that he can conquer the disease and secure his re election.

    Lol...I wouldn't put it past your orange raccoon. Except that he's too stupid to actually conquer anything and would just make himself look even worse.
    But, why would anyone keep defending this deplorable character if they love their country?

    So the national emergency is really just him caving in to lib / Dem / MSM hysteria?

    Question to you - is the situation serious enough to justify the declaration of a national emergency or not?

    I am betting on the lefty idiots to say he started this entire thing so he can illegally stay in office for years to come.

    I am done replying to the lefties on here. I would rather talk to 3rd graders, they make more sense, they are more mature and to top it off they are not weak knee chicken littles scared of their own shadow. The left can rot in their own stew of self pity they continue to make. :)

    You can moon over your binky all you want, and pretend your demonic media and Democratic dastards are all being very mean to Cry Baby Don. Wha, wha, wha!

    Become hysterical and lash out by bleating "Snake!" at anyone who is not sufficiently worshipful if you must.

    I don't pretend to know what will happen in November, but his bungling the response to coronavirus and his presiding over his collapsing economy, on top of his insipid conduct that has caused most decent folks to be embarrassed by him, may result in the majority of voters - younger, better-educated, and more diverse - deciding to restore American values and return to normalcy.

    Brace yourself for the possibility.

    His ignorance and incompetence amidst a genuine crisis are not enhancing his sad shtick.

    "View this the same as the flu."
    "I really think, doc, you want to treat this like you treat the flu,
    and, you know, it’s going to be fine!"

    It's not nitpicking. Antibodies, the human body has already engineered an attack specific to this foreign invader.

    ANTIBODIES FROM COVID-19 SURVIVORS COULD BE USED TO TREAT PATIENTS, PROTECT THOSE AT RISK

    Infusions of antibody-laden blood have been used with reported success in prior outbreaks, including the SARS epidemic and the 1918 flu pandemic
    ByKatie Pearce

    / Published a day ago
    With a vaccine for COVID-19 still a long way from being realized, Johns Hopkins immunologist Arturo Casadevall is working to revive a century-old blood-derived treatment for use in the United States in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease.

    With the right pieces in place, the treatment could be set up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore within a matter of weeks, Casadevall says.

    The technique uses antibodies from the blood plasma or serum of people who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to boost the immunity of newly infected patients and those at risk of contracting the disease. These antibodies contained in the blood's serum have the ability to bind to and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Casadevall—a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of molecular microbiology and immunology and infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and School of Medicine—published a paper on the proposal today in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

    All this hysteria and this virus hasn't made even a tiny mark on my life. It just goes on as usual.
