You're nothing more than a pretender pandering to the lowest common denominator.

He didn't say it was "in the process of being rolled out." He said it was set up.
Also, read the comments: https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1238138713919705089
So that's evidence that he's full of...tranquilizers or something.

Show me some evidence that what the Prez is saying is true. Because basically he's been lying since the crisis began.

Misspelled *administration*

On the unlikely chances this hasn’t come up already, Trump has businesses in the UK and Northern Ireland, the exceptions to Trump’s travel bans.

Glad to look out for number one during a global pandemic.

Not including the UK was odd considering they have 460 cases thus far. Whether or not this factored into that decision hasn't been proven out. I think most people think tourism is going to be a wash for the foreseeable future.

Every time he institutes a travel ban, countries he has businesses in magically avoid that ban. Four years into his first term, this qualifies as a "res ipsa loquitur."

I'm not being funny but why do you think you know more than the WHO, CDC etc?

Yes the others are way more dangerous and have killed way more people.

however the economy isn't headed for a recession built on any market bubble.

once the stupid passes markets will be just fine.
it is just getting all the stupid out of the way first.

so yes please continue your LCD pandering.

i will go about my business as normal.

Right now, if we were the Titanic, the Dow has dropped nearly 8000 points because the ship just hit an iceberg.

Nobody claimed that it was. You are now trying to walk back your nonsense because it's turned on you in a matter of a day.

More predictions? I would stick to what you do best... pushing an empty GOP narrative.

i will go about my business as normal.

Making foolish statements based on pure partisanship. This is a pandemic and isn't something to take lightly.

That statement seems to be mindless rhetoric that is repeating the fascist claims about targeting the free press. Every dictator and fascist do that.

I disagree. Trump saying this is not a threat, will die off in summer ect was extremely dangerous. Now he is taking it seriously. Like I said before, this is an incredibly important step. We need Trump to take this seriously. We need him to be taking action.

I am not claiming the perfect solution has been presented. I am not saying nothing more needs to be done. What I am saying is that Trump's stance last night and Trump's stance 2 weeks ago are not the same. I would much rather have him taking it seriously than dismissing it. Now we have to encourage him to continue on the path he started on last night and keep moving in the right direction rather than turning this into us vs them (public vs government). We need to unite. Doesn't mean I want anyone to vote for him, doesn't mean I approve of his performance or want a 2nd term for him. I don't on all counts. But I do believe in times of crisis of this magnitude that unity is more beneficial than hostility.

Yet, at the same time, he wants to cut the CDC budget, even while this is going on.
 
I just hope voters remember Trump's mishandling of the situation come November.

We could be looking at a full democratic sweep, house, senate and presidency.
 
Erod said:
Funny. Have you been watching CNN these past several days?

They DESPERATELY need this virus to kill millions, cause a healthcare collapse, drive the market down as far as possible, and increase unemployment to 15%. The other umpteen tries to take down the White House have failed to move the needle any direction but in Trump's favor. And now they have a vegetable as the Democratic nominee.

We're calm. We're at work. We're washing our hands and ready for it if we get it. Meanwhile, liberals are still hugging their snuggies in the corner at home.

Unfortunately, the virus can't be gotten rid of by abortion. And the government can't handle it for you either. Gotta face this one like big boys and girls.

I don't see that. THat seems to have a strong anti-media confirmation bias attached to it.

What mishandling? Travel bans were a good handling of the situation. And the left condemns him for it.

You cannot gaslight your way out of this one, Erod. The markets are in a free-fall with no end in sight. Conferences and conventions are being canceled. Entire sports leagues are suspending their seasons.

But if you think it's funny that old people dying is funny, hey, go ahead. It's what we've come to expect from your ilk. :shrug:

Swine Flu was far more dangerous than this. It killed almost 13,000 people here in 2009-10. So was SARS and many others.

Do you remember this kind of overreaction and panic? Of course you don't.

This is a politically fueled crisis. That's the primary reason the media even cares about it. It's impeachment, part II.

We're a nation of invertebrates now. It's embarrassing.

Cite someone other than your own ignorant opinion if you want to call people stupid. The experts I've seen say they do not KNOW how warmer weather will affect the spread. It's awesome you know more than they do, but forgive us if we don't care about your view.

Seasonality of SARS-CoV-2: Will COVID-19 go away on its own in warmer weather? – Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics



I know other experts are more optimistic, but the key takeaway is we don't KNOW what will happen, because it is a new virus, and we have ZERO history with which to anticipate any seasonal patterns, if they exist.

We can pray that there is some seasonality to he virus and make predictions based on other viruses....but it would be beyond irresponsible for anyone to state this as a fact.

What mishandling. That's made-up BS, and nobody is buying it. This is your Steele Dossiere all over again.

39 old people have died. That's it.

The test kit nonsense is silly. Are we supposed to just go out and start testing people? Most people who get a sore throat or cough don't go to the doctor. They go to bed, get over it, and they're fine. No record of them.

If Trump mishandled this, then European countries REALLY mishandled this. That's where the real problem is, and even there, it's not the disaster it's being made out to be.

This is overeactionary political folly at this point designed to drive down the markets, drive up unemployment, and win an election.

It will not work, no matter excited and giddy you are.

SARS IS a coronavirus.

Yes and a different strain....

8,098 cases, resulting in 774 deaths reported in 17 countries in a period of 12 months. Italy already has over 1000 deaths from Covid-19

You guys need to seriously stfu and listen to the experts.

You realize this thing is just getting started right?

Back then we had a leader running things.
