    January 31st? January 7th?

    Dude. When did Trump say, "The 15 cases will soon be going down to zero?"

    Also, was he lying when he said 15 cases?

    If Trump PROVED Only One Thing, it is THIS:

    That a Mentally-Unstable IMBECILE Could Actually Function in the Job.

    He has ALREADY Destroyed the Integrity of The Office (for several decades).

    If Trump is Re-Elected, then that Damage will become IRREVERSIBLE.

    His response to the Virus (along with being impeached) will be a Permanent STAIN on his "Legacy".

    You are correct. It’s been two weeks to the day that the first US Coronavirus death occurred. However it’s been 6 weeks since the “frenzy” has started.

    February 29, 2020 at 9:11 PM EST
    A man in his 50s with an underlying health condition became the first person in the United States to die of coronavirus infection.

    I would like to see the death certificate of this man with an already underlying health condition that died of Coronavirus infection.

    So 2 weeks and 50 deaths.
    More than 60% of the US's coronavirus deaths are linked to a Washington nursing home. Here's what we know about the outbreak there.

    Hell, we need this virus to spread throughout the entire country and for Americans to become a little ill and build up antibodies. This is a bad flu bug and nothing more.

    The "this is a bad flu bug and nothing more" talking point needs to die in a *******n fire.

    It is 10x more deadly on the low end and it spreads more easily. There are no known vaccines, no known antivirals, and no one currently has any antibodies. We also don't know whether this virus will mutate or whether it has a season.

    And if you want to willingly expose yourself and your family to the virus because you want to build up antivirals, go for it. But I fully demand that you quarantine you and your family for 2-3 weeks to minimize the chance that you will expose my mother who is elderly and immunocompromised.

    Huh? No one has antibodies? Do you know something that the CDC doesn’t? Because 72,528 say otherwise. Why don’t you change your username to MrTMedicine.

    I'm not sure they get it.

    The left, just months ago, attempted to unseat President Trump through an impeachment process, thoroughly partisan, claiming he abused the power of his office and obstructed justice.

    Now comes the same gang that struck out against President Trump actually cheering the President's declaration of a National Emergency.

    Do y'all realize the additional powers this gives a President?

    Wow.

    "When you strike at a king you must kill him." and if you don't kill him certainly do not politically set the stage for him to gain the power necessary to silence you, seize your assets and raise, on whim, an army to fight you.

    And they cheered.

    I joked in another thread about the hysteria and panic that's coming from the left being more destructive than the virus and that in China they'd be silenced. Well y'all just gave Trump the power to do just that.

    In your Panic, you idiots just gave Trump the excuse to grab exponentially more power. More power than I would give him willingly.

    And they cheered.

    Methinks the virus effects the brain.

    Probably antiserum human trials ongoing now. One of the reasons for declaring a national emergency. Bio weapons, human testing, it's legally done now.

    ...are you seriously trying to nitpick the no one has antibodies by pointing to the fact some people have already been infected and recovered? Get real.

    I do like your response, but I’m more inclined to believe the human body’s innate abilities to fight off infections. Today’s bioweapons are far more ruthless and predictable for human extinction than a virus with a 1% kill rate.

    Some people? Try half that have been confirmed and have recovered. This doesn’t include the vast that will get Coronavirus and not show any symptoms as they fight this virus as stated by many experts. Post your findings from a reliable source. My posts are from the CDC and WHO.

    I did not feel like I needed to explain that the "people don't have antibodies" refers to the 99.999998% of the world's population which has not been infected or to the 99.9993% of the American population which has not been infected.

    But since you wanted me to clarify that point, I hope that I have done so.

    I had a post a while back where I gave it 10:1 odds that said Trump would try to use COVID to cancel elections in California.

    Have not been infected or have not been tested or have not been confirmed with the virus? How do you know? How do you know that millions of Americans have contracted Coronavirus and have not shown a single symptom? How do you know that millions are not fighting this virus and building antibodies without knowing? How is it that millions don’t get the flu every year? You are just speculating.

    The mans back to to damned if you do, damned if he don’t. Trump can cure cancer and some would complain, what took you so long. You’re going to moan no matter what, so who gives a shiz at this point?

    What are the odds that we could use COVID to make California slide into the Pacific?

    I asked a question of someone claiming this virus is no big deal. Trumps saying one thing and his supporters something else

    Hysteria built up in the MSM is 1000x more effective at causing a panic than anything Trump has said. If he tried to calm people down by not being hysterical on national TV, he’s an idiot who shouldn’t speak. If he lets the experts speak, he’s an idiot for not saying the words himself. If he delegates responsibility to someone else he’s a moron. If he does too much, he’s also a moron.

    **** the leftist media hive of evil SOBs who defended Obama’s every move during H1N1 and his many others scandals. **** them all. ;) Screw the useless wastes of skin who ask leading questions hoping for a sound bite instead of being responsible journalists. Screw leftist politicians using deaths to plug an agenda to get ****ing re-elected. Screw those accusing Trump of trying to profit off a virus when the guy would be far wealthier NOT becoming president at all. Useless humans who truly don’t care about anyone except their own clicks.

    Initial response was truly pathetic? Declaring a health emergency, placing travel bans and instilling mandatory quarantines was truly pathetic? What were you doing on Feb 1st when President Trump was keeping America safe. Oh, you were posting how an Islamic terrorist is a national hero. Here’s a post of yours from Feb 1st. The same day Trump was placing Americans 1st.
    1. General Soleimani is a national hero in Iran, a patriot, not a terrorist but someone who fought terrorists. That is all true, for the vast majority of the people in Iran. And beyond Iran, in a lot of places across the region and even beyond that, where you had people mourn his death.

    You don’t care one iota about anyone being safer because you only cheer whenever something you feel negative happens. You ONLY seem to care about anything you can post that damages Trump, which makes you feel good so you vote for someone you’d prefer to be in power so you can feel vindicated and then post how awesome they are. Stop acting like any of this “means” anything to you besides the chemical rush you get out of reading negative news about those you hate. Like pulling a handle at a casino.

    You’re like the football fan who criticizes that Brady or Mahomes don’t know how to throw the ball. Stop playing games man;). We can see through it you know, hehe.

    40 people dead, the vast majority elderly with chronic health conditions.

    And people tied up in knots about it when its simply a lack of knowledge.

    Here they are clearing shelves in grocery stores-there is much ignorance in California.
