    If, and I hope this happens, but if the virus dies off this summer, then you know Trump will cite fake news and his political opponents engineered a panic to harm our economy.

    However, if the virus is still a problem, Trump will be able to show how he has done everything in his power to slow and prevent an outbreak in the US.

    If the dems and media want to play politics with this they will lose, because it's a win either way for Trump.

    Except there are going to be bodies. A lot of them, before this is over. You can't hide that, or BS your way out of it.

    You Forgot SARS, Limited to a 98.9% survival
    and West Nile Virus, endemic here yet many demonstrated antibodies
    who did not know they were sick from this mosquito borne disease.

    Bodies Happen!

    I survived SARS, Swine Flu and endemic in my n'hood, West Nile Virus.




    Maybe the Vikings and Moors were correct that the time
    of your death "is written" when you are born.
    May as well live the best life you can rather than worry over the end.


    Stock up on Campbell's Chicken Rice soup should you become ill.
    May as well "go out" as comfy as possible. :hmm:



    WHAT EVER YOU DO, DON'T PANIC!
    Says a hysterical government & News media.


    BTW Soap & Water is better viral killer than any anti bacterial sanitizer.
    I preferred it to soak thermometers between patients for that reason.




    Remember, Toilet Paper has 2 sides :roflol:

    The swine flu came here from Mexico and affected the young also which this one does not seem to. It also went from April 2009 to November 2010. Lets see what happens after that time period. In the meantime, knock off the comparisons because no one here using them seem to know what they are talking about.

    Can someone explain for me this drastic urgent need to have
    Coronavirus test kits.Exactly what good can it do.It can do NO good.
    Only make a person a target.Like say being an NRA member.
    There is no cure or even vaccine for Coronavirus.The only thing a
    Corn-Virus test can do is mark a human being as potential target.
    Not even close to being like Leprosy.Which is also very contagious but
    very obvious to the eyes.This is a time when the world could drastically
    use the helping hands of a Mother Teresa.But since Atheism is now
    en vogue ... good luck with that kind of help.
    I'm sure guys like Joe Biden know how this should be handled.

    Pence is straightforward,honest to a fault and very all American.
    Can't beat that combination.About the only American who could would
    be former Notre Dame coach and Catholic Lou Holtz.

    How can the public be assured that those Deaths aren't from
    Influenza NOT some Corn-virus.Up until now most cases of sickness
    are from seasonal flu and Influenza.

    Easy answer. The BIG difference is that the swine flu came around during the Messiah's reign over us. So therefore, there was nothing to see here, just step over the dead bodies and move along folks. Now the new virus is taking place during great Satan's reign over us, so of course it is time to panic.
