    Exactly what has Trump said that you disagree with.
    Paste up the quote with a link.

    His answer is meaningless. That's what he does. He says a lot of words that don't actually pin him down on anything. He is a total con-man.

    Then why are y'all taking Trump's words to heart so much?

    Going off the post here on PF, I think the left leans towards marshal law, curfew and restricted to your home.. You know, other then marshal law and curfew just a normal day really ;)

    No, I would rather not go through this. I'm a teacher, and I assume they would pay me if they shut the schools down (there are three million teachers in America. If we stopped getting paychecks, the economic disruption would be enormous. If you figure we all clear on average about $4k a month, that would be the equivalent of pulling $12 billion out of the economy every month, which is almost 2% of GDP). But they might not pay me, and losing three months pay wouldn't be catastrophic for me, but it would HURT. That would cost me almost 20 grand.

    But more worrying is my dad, who's 80 and on immunosuppresants because of a prior bout with liver cancer.

    All that being said, we'eve never been through one of these before, and it is fascinating. And it will hurt Trump, which I like (can't lie about that). But overall, I would just as soon this hadn't happened. This is going to kill a lot of poor and sick people.

    Hell, look to the ABORIGINAL for a vaccine! They survived the best diseases the white man had to offer, plus bullets and forced starvation too :)

    Politics aside and said with an abundance of caveat, it appears that Corona Virus is controllable and it's spread and lethality are being mitigated.

    Total active cases have dropped in number. February 17 saw 58,000 active cases, yesterday 46,000 active cases were reported.

    The fatality rate has continued to drop.

    All subject to change of course, but our actions and efforts are "controlling" the infection in a seemingly positive direction.

    I just don't understand why people act like it's impending doom and will wipe out the world. If Trump wasn't the one telling us not to panic, the left wouldn't be in panic mode. I think they're making this an overblown situation for political purposes.

    It's one thing to prepare, it's a totally different ballgame to scream at the sky and run around like headless chickens because a president you hate is telling you it's ok not to panic. The man already stated that he's working with Congress - on both sides - to take any steps necessary in containing the issue.

    You're out of your mind. Japan just shut down their entire school system.

    That's how we control transmission. Kids are a perfect vector, warm wet fertilized petri dishs that touch everything.

    Ya wanna control transmission or not?

    Where are the numbers posted incorrect?
    Death rate and cases in the country of origin have decreased.
    Japan closing schools is precautionary and has no effect on the fractural numbers of the situation.

    Let's talk then about the **** show that was his press conference last night..

    He appointed Mike Pence, a guy with zero medical experience and whose regressive policies resulted in a HIV outbreak in Indiana, to be the COVID-19 czar (despite saying that Obama was incompetent for doing the same with Ebola).

    He repeatedly marveled at the deaths caused by the Flu each year (when COVID-19 has a current morbidity rate of roughly 20x higher).

    He said "this isn't about political advantage" after blaming the stock market sell-offs on the Democratic debate and attacking Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as incompetent.

    After the expert said that the spread of COVID-19 is inevitable, Trump said he didn't think it was inevitable.

    After the expert said the vaccine was a minimum of 14 months away, Trump said we would have a vaccine in a fairly quick manner.

    As he was speaking, DOW Futures went from positive to negative.
