Trump in a statement last night said:

Trump says U.S. in 'very good shape' on Corona Virus. Health officials aren't so confident.

The reality is different though:

Jarring contradictions in the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus are casting doubt on its capacity to tackle an outbreak that officials say is now certain to reach US soil.

While President Donald Trump is reassuring the nation that the virus is "going to go away" and is "very well under control," experts in his government are painting a far more dire picture. A top US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination expert warned Tuesday that the virus could bring severe disruption to American life and told people to get ready now.

Vaccine for the Virus?

US biotech firm Moderna has shipped an experimental coronavirus vaccine to US government researchers just six weeks after it started working on the immunization but even when proceeding at an "emergency speed," a vaccine would not be available for use for at least a year or 18 months, he said Tuesday.

Incompetence is the worst thing that can happen when a pandemic occurs:

The President said the coronavirus situation was "very well under control in our country." And he added "that whole situation will start working out." Trump also hit at Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who blasted the White House's emergency $1.25 billion funding request as "too little, too late."

On Air Force One, Trump tweeted that "if I asked for more he would say it is too much. He didn't like my early travel closings. I was right. He is incompetent!"

The market is painting a dire picture. The DOW has dropped 2571 points (9.7%) in the last 10 days and this is not just about the Corona Virus but about the fact that the market was already at levels that were undefendable by fundamentals with world growth lagging behind at levels that are dropping rather than rising and interest rates being minimal or zero in many cases, there is little that can be done to stimulate new growth and now that this pandemic is cutting that growth in a big way, the market is realizing that things are not as rosy as Trump has made them to be. This is a wake up call that is the worst thing that Trump wants to see as his entire administration has been one huge "con" that is now being found out through the one thing he has depended on, the stock market.

Important and pivotal support levels were broken yesterday and there is nothing that can at this time stop the fall of the market given that the Corona Virus continues to grow with over 2700 deaths reported worldwide and with deaths occurring outside of China with 7 in Italy and 12 in Iran reported yesterday.

Opinion: If the coronavirus isn’t contained, a severe global recession is almost certain

The world woke up Monday to the reality that the coronavirus epidemic is going to have a much bigger impact on the global economy than investors and policy makers had assumed. Just how big, no one really knows.

Just like the other 10 or so threads on this very same thing, you have to prepare and remain calm.
 
Some of the democratic folks are salivating over coronavirus.
Maybe just maybe it will take down Trump!! Get Trump anyway
we can.

Silly people. Did you watch the democratic debate (yelling fest) last night.
That's why they are praying for a giant breakout of coronavirus. :3oops:

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Trump is not capable of dealing with this and neither are his people in government and his supporters outside of government.

We know Trump lies in his sleep too so there is nothing we can believe or accept from Trump and his Rowers. Everything in Trump's dreams are lies.

The burden of competence is squarely on the back of the always lying gross incompetents that are Trump & Rowers. They are the believers of the unbelievable and the purveyors of the incredulous. No matter what it is they always make everything worse -- it is their specialty.

Actually, the sky HAS FALLEN for at least 2700 people that have already died from the virus and more will die from it.

Fault of Trump? no, the virus is no fault of Trump but if some our citizens start dying from the virus some of those deaths might fall on his shoulders given that he has not committed enough money or enough transparency to the virus, meaning that some of the deaths that might occur could have been prevented by more economic and transparency commitment to the problem.
 
Trump is more important to his Rowers than are American lives.

It's no contest in fact.

The Rowers went viral on this long ago.

Could you post anything more stupid? I'll bet $20 you can...the only salivating I see is from the drooling, illiterate cretin you elected to 'lead' you.

This is what a nanny state looks like. People think their leaders are going to save them from everything and anything.

In real life it doesn't happen that way. Stuff happens.

I never said that. In the past we've had plagues and illnesses that wiped out millions at a time when there weren't billions of people on earth. Humans are lazy and stupid and dependent and imagine those in government should and will protect them against any and all bad things happening. There will be times when government cannot.

Trump has done all he can and was incensed that someone let a plane in without his permission. He has asked for 2 and a half billion. Chuck Shumer is playing politics and says it is not enough. All Pa Kettle has to do is give Trump 20 billion but he would rather jeopardize out lives by trying to make Trump look bad. THAT my friend is someone the DEMOCRATS have in charge...playing with your lives.
 
If there is any present issue where we should try our best to keep the now-obligatory red/blue nonsense out of it, the new virus is front and center. The possible number of deaths which can occur should it spread through these United States of America like the annual flu epidemic is large. Its effect on the elderly should give all of us with old relatives reason to pause in our everyday 'autopilot' routines.

The CDC is charged with treating the outbreak, here and abroad. It was handled poorly in China and Europe and Middle East and yes it is spreading. I'm not sure we have acted swiftly enough but then the outbreak was China and we don't have control of China. We are provided them with medical help but that's the best we can do there. Here we have to find an effective treatment but that always takes time to develop and test new drugs. This is a new virus and nobody has a cure or a drug specifically for this, yet.
There is a task force and has been for months, we have been working with countries around the world and have been since the outbreak. Our health care system is the most advanced in the world, how do I know, because everyone is running to us for help. The bird flu, SARS, and other outbreaks have come and gone and we will get a handle on it. Don't let those who want to win an election at any expense scare you into a panic.
Democrats are dividing the country over an outbreak of a virus by criticizing and offering no answers, just criticism. Schumer is going to criticize Trump no matter what he does, and you simply cannot believe him. They have lied about money, a health care team working on the outbreak, our working with other countries including China, the lack of a plan. We have a plan in place at practically every hospital in America, there is a world wide plan always in place and always being updated in the event of an outbreak such as this. It's scare tactics. Watch and see how we handle this in the U.S. I hate to say wait and see but you will see we have a handle on how to deal with it.
