B-Man Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Same things being repeated by the resident kindergarteners POSTED ON FEBRUARY 26, 2020 BY JOHN HINDERAKER TRUMP STEPS OUT ON CORONAVIRUS No one in public life has forgotten what the Democratic Party press did to President George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina. It later came out that the government’s response to Katrina was both the largest and the fastest in world history, but the press so grotesquely misled Americans that it pretty much destroyed Bush’s second term. President Trump understands, no doubt, that the Democrats are waiting in the wings with their knives out, hoping that coronavirus turns into a disaster that impacts the 2020 election. The Trump administration took prompt steps to protect the U.S. from coronavirus, and tonight, Trump and others conducted a press conference to announce various initiatives. There wasn’t actually a lot of news; the message was that the administration is on the case. Among other things, Trump announced that Vice President Mike Pence is heading up the administration’s coronavirus team. You can watch the whole thing here, if you are a patient person. Around 23 minutes in, the president retakes the microphone for questions, mostly hostile and all from Democrats. He handled them well: The stock market has obviously reacted strongly to coronavirus and its impact on the Chinese supply chain, as well as–President Trump points out–the apparent ascendancy of a socialist pretender to the presidency. But the virus itself doesn’t seem especially threatening. Time will tell, but fatality rates are low, and it is questionable whether coronavirus will exceed, in the U.S., the typical 30,000 to 60,000 annual deaths from flu. Democrats hope that coronavirus will be a deus ex machina that will turn the White House over to them, as a result of a Black Death-like pandemic or an international economic collapse. I suppose those things could happen, but my guess is that the Democrats will be disappointed, and their hoped-for catastrophe will fizzle. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/02/trump-steps-out-on-coronavirus.php
Tiberius Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Following the press conference, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) admonished the administration. “The American people need a well-coordinated, whole-of-government, fully-funded response to keep them safe from the coronavirus threat,” Pelosi said in a written statement. “Unfortunately, the Trump Administration has mounted an opaque and chaotic response to this outbreak.” She continued: “The Trump Administration has left critical positions in charge of managing pandemics at the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security vacant. The Trump Budget called for slashing almost $700 million from the Centers for Disease Control.”
B-Man Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 34 minutes ago, B-Man said: At his press conference on coronavirus, invited to respond to Nancy Pelosi and other critics who say he doesn't know what he's talking about, Trump goes strongly political. Most of this press conference is above politics, and his answer to this question is, ultimately, that we need to work together and be above politics, but Trump dives straight into politics at this point, and he's blunt and, I think, very effective: He says Pelosi is "incompetent" and "not thinking about the country." He points to the doctors on stage with him and says they are "the most talented people in the world" and "they shouldn't be demeaned." He says, Nancy Pelosi knows what she is saying is not true, "she's trying to create a panic," and she's "trying to get a political advantage" when what is needed is for everyone to work together. .

B-Man Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 How the woman acquired the respiratory disease covid-19 is unknown. “It’s possible this could be an instance of community spread of covid-19, which would be the first time this has happened in the United States,” the CDC said in a statement, referring to the disease caused by the coronavirus. The health agency left open the possibility “that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected.” In EVERY story written today about the poor woman in California diagnosed with Coronavirus , but the headlines blare out the worst possible scenario. .

Uncle Joe Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 High school friend of mine just posted that he and his legally immigrated Chinese wife just returned from China last night. "No quarantine, just self monitoring", They had left January 19th and I hadn't heard from him until today. Good news but I will probably wait a bit before I have a beer with him.
