    No, the "left" are saying that Trump should not answer questions on subjects that he has no knowledge on and refer those questions to people who do know what they are talking about

    Just got three 20 lb. propane tanks filled and we're at 110% preparation. Was thinking what else can I do?

    Sent my biggest contribution ever to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. All of their patients are children with impaired immune systems, and their prep will be more expensive than 99% of hospitals.

    Now I'm done unless I think of something else, and with that I am free to wring my hands and go into full panic mode.:roflol:

    Not good enough. I want to see 18,000.

    Plenty good money to be made climbing back up the ladder.

    A responsibility of leadership is to avoid panic because that is what causes hoarding and shortages and price gouging. Trump is trying to do that. Democrats, in their efforts to damage Trump are opposing everything he says even if they have to lie a little about it. They keep their fingers crossed so it's ok.

    The thing to do is to slow its spread until a vaccination is developed. I think that is being done. In the meantime everyone should practice the same standards as always. Wash our hands, cover our faces when sneezing or coughing, avoid the obviously ill, and so on. Same old, same old. Life must go on.

    One, there's not a vaccine yet. And two, they have no idea what to expect as far as spreading.

    It's called "better safe than sorry" until vaccines are made.

    That's a very constricted and confined HVAC environment on a cruise ship, plus it's a favorite hangout for bed bugs.

    Right now I wouldn't get on a bus and am afraid of taxi's, and am only going on the roller coaster in the front car.

    Hong Kong scientists say they have a vaccine and are going to testing.

    Because as of today, that's the confirmed count. You're more than welcome to believe whatever number you wanna tell yourself and stay in panic mode though.

    Remember when nobody batted an eye when obama told us the ebola breakout was under control? Nobody criticized him, we all let him work with Congress and do his thing.

    Of course, we didn't have to try to make obama look bad in order to win back the White House, he'd accomplished that feat on his own. With Trump, the only way the left think they can beat him is by manipulating everything he says or does and that's exactly why democrats are in Chicken Little mode again.

    So I guess Trump saying they were close to a vaccine was telling the truth after all. Poor TDS members never ever thought that countries we're working with might have it first an avoid all the R&D regulations our Government has....

    Yeah..that's why he had the Director of HHS, speak, as well as the Deputy Director, Dr. Anne Shocket.and Dr.Dr. Tony Fauci. director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH.

    Did you not actually watch the press conference?

    Think about this: Jimmy Carter only knew peanuts and submarines, but most of the time he answered on a wide range of subjects and there was no controversy as to his approach.

    Err, the White House said that Trump was talking about the Ebola virus being close to having a vaccine not the coronavirus

    So you're saying that Trump did not say what he has been quoted as saying?

    You give ME the benefit of the doubt after misquoting me? LOL! If at all, you should apologize for erroneously attributing the vanityfair link to me.

    What is correct is that I DID say that Trump said the virus would go away with warmer weather. That he said this is really not in question.

    As a scientist, I'd say that it is really unknown whether COVID19 is a seasonal virus or not. It could, or it could not be. Trump is really just making stuff up by saying it (i.e. wishful thinking). The verdict on this, and many other things about this virus, may be out only after the outbreak is long over.

    Riiiight. And I'm sure constructing 1000+ patient hospitals over a weekend was just being better safe than sorry too. You guys are too much.
