    Regardless of how he responds they are going to whine about it "cuz orange man bad" and "reeding iz hard". I also noticed that nobody seems to have a very succinct reason for complaining except that they don't like what Trump said which wasn't much. He said pretty much that he doesn't know what is going to happen.

    60 cases out of 320 million+ people. You can't be serious right now.

    https://abcnews.go.com/Internationa...s-1st-case-community-spread/story?id=69251035

    "Tedros (director-general of WHO) noted he's encouraged by the progress made in several countries that, as of Thursday, have not reported any new cases in over two weeks, including Belgium, Cambodia, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam."

    And 1 new case for America.

    It's not out of control. Relax.

    I am sure this has already been posted, but here it is anyway. The flu has been far more lethal, no need to panic people.

    "So far, 16,000 people have died and 280,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC"

    Let's all calm down, and stop trying to use it as another way to attack Trump..

    How do you know it’s only 60? Has everyone with symptoms gone to a doctor?

    Trump tweeted it out a couple of times. About `10% of the truth is broadcasted on FOX news, thus 30% of the population miss 90% of the real news.

    Here we go....

    This is tracked by the facts we have, not conjecture.

    But let's say it 100x as many as the 60 we know, 6,000 infected. 0.000018% infection rate....

    RUN!

    I don't understand why you think this attempt at math is rational or informative.

    You just dont want people to point out Trump could care less about the virus and cares more about money and the stock market.

    The mortality rate of COVID-19 is roughly 20-30x more lethal than Influenza while being just as contagious.

    You believe that?

    Okie dokie.

    I KNOW that reporting higher numbers would cause global panic. You think they do, too?

    Also, the mortality rate outside of China is much higher than inside China. So either they're lying about the actual numbers, or Chinese medicine is much more advanced than the rest of the world.

    One or the other has to be true.

    Population: 127 million, 189 infected, and 3 deaths. Shutting down the entire school system is a precaution to stop the virus from spreading.

    Relax.

    Every single time the left has made these wild claims, they have been proven false. Trump derangement syndrome is in full effect.

    Shows the absolute nuttiness of the liberals thinking the black plague is upon us.

    Where is any of it incorrect?

    I stated that I always stock up. I live in the mountains and it's winter. Anyone that doesn't stock up is probably going to be very hungry or freeze to death at some point.

    Outside of China, the death rate is almost 10%.

    But even worse, the rate that people require hospitalization is 20%.

    I dont know if you've noticed, but we dont have enough hospital beds for that.

    The virus was discovered less than three months ago. It is simply irrational to think you have enough data or knowledge to try and evaluate how widespread this virus will get in China or the United States.

    I do. Not sure you do.

    What kind of growth are you thinking, let's see some numbers.
