Reported: Trump To Declare COVID-19 A Stafford Act National Emergency

[georgephillip]

You think a million people are going to die in the U.S. this year from the coronavirus?

At this point I don't have anyway of knowing.
1.5 million deaths is a statistical possibility.

Up to 150 million Americans could get coronavirus: US projection

"About 80 per cent of coronavirus cases are mild, and the overall mortality rate is around 1 per cent, according to the latest estimate provided by Fauci to Congress on Wednesday.

"At the low end of the projection this would mean about 700,000 deaths.

"At the high end it would mean 1.5 million deaths.

"Heart disease was the leading cause of death for Americans in 2018, with just over 650,000 deaths in 2018.

"The flu and pneumonia caused around 60,000 deaths."

COOL - Only three months too late!!|

He didn't wait as long as Obama did...Obama waited till 1200 Americans were dead....

Obama declared a public health emergency when 20 people had been infected and there were NO deaths. Where do you get this shit?

Just reported on MSNBC. Trump is speaking now.

President Trump declared a "national emergency" on Friday due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He said the action would "open up access to up to $50 billion," which he described as "a large amount of money for states and territories and localities in our shared fight against this disease."

Trump also urged states to set up emergency operation centers immediately.

Trump declares 'national emergency'

What?

I thought it was all a hoax perpetrated by the Fake Media and the Democrats.

Exactly. 20 cases, no deaths when this was declared. fyi

 

[The VOR]

NO SHIT!! I KNEW before the entiere board but it's always a conspiracy lmfao!!

It wasn't official until Trump declared it.

Methinks somebody needs a fucking life.

Yeah. you. LOL.

 

[Rambunctious]

I wonder if dems will understand now why we must control our borders....

 

[Rambunctious]

Do dems still want wide open borders?.....

 

[Rambunctious]

Maybe a wall on the southern border is a great idea...the next virus could come from South America.....think about that....

 

[JGalt]

Trump is racist against viruses. Impeach him again!!!

"Heart disease was the leading cause of death for Americans in 2018, with just over 650,000 deaths in 2018.

"The flu and pneumonia caused around 60,000 deaths."

That is a grossly oversimplified projection based on a raw statistic that ignores the contextual data and lacks sufficient input to be statistically significant for epidemiological projection purposes. To wit, a significant number of the current U.S. deaths were residents of a single nursing home, and the treatment and response protocols were not under strict observational controls.

Furthermore, the raw statistical data does not account for people who are infected but not confirmed cases. Thus, it is not possible to extrapolate the very limited raw statistical data reflecting a 1% mortality rate among the confirmed cases into a working projection model.

Notwithstanding any other factor, the very fact that there are people who are and have been infected and not confirmed (thus, aren't included in the current infected/mortality statistic), means it's not only possible, it's a veritable certainty that the mortality rate is much less than 1%.

That projection model fails to meet the requisite scientific method standards, as it's based on an invalid statistical predicate. It's what we call junk science.

Breaking: Trump to declare COVID-19 a Stafford Act national emergency

President Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency on Friday over the coronavirus outbreak, invoking the Stafford Act to open the door to more federal aid for states and municipalities, according to two people familiar with the matter. …

An emergency declaration would allow a state to request a 75% federal cost-share for expenses that include emergency workers, medical tests, medical supplies, vaccinations, security for medical facilities, and more, according to a letter Democrats sent the president earlier this week.

Only a few emergency declarations for public health threats have been made since the 1960s, and only two have targeted disease outbreaks, when President Bill Clinton in 2000 declared emergencies in New York and New Jersey in response to the West Nile Virus.

If people wanted the big guns, they are about to get them. This will probably hurt the markets even more, so good idea to do it on a Friday and let the weekend act as a firebreak.

What's the over/under that he completely bleeps up is 3PM EST speech (as he did on Wednesday night) and that very tenuous positive that the Dow is in right now completely collapses? The fact that Democrats had to had to send Trump a letter even getting him to consider declaring this emergency (if he does) is telling. Maybe if he had done that on Wednesday night, the market collapse the next day wouldn't have happened..or been a lot less painful.

Meanwhile Obama never made the declaration when over 1000 had died and here you are whining about Trump.

Hmm. I was wandering the aisles of my local supermarket today and I saw the devastation to the paper towels and toilet paper sections wrought by hoarders. I had a moment of panic when I realized I might be forced to use the fallen oak leaves in my yard if I ran out..and those leaves are super crunchy right now. But lo and behold, hope sprung eternal when I walked by the tin foil and saw there was still a generous amount available. This will protect you against federal government mind control that has caused independent organizations like the NCAA, NFL, NHL, school systems around the country run by local towns and cities, and private business all to take steps to protect the public health. And still, I only see the National Guard deployed in one hot zone in one small section of the country. You would think that if our freedoms were truly being limited, you'd see soldiers on every street corner.

 

[Lakhota]

I would guess that Trump's state of emergency is more about the stock market and his re-election than anything else.

Your guesses are as predictable as sunshine on the Sahara.

Thank you! That's pretty predictable!

We have zero deaths in Russia and Israel, guess what they have in common...

The fact that the coronavirus just appeared and is just starting to spread.

Covid-19 is much more dangerous than H1N1.

LOL. Do you just make shit up as it comes to you? Rhetorical -- we already know the answer to that.

For one thing, the data reflects that COVID-19 is very mild in children, presenting as mild cold-like symptoms, whereas H1N1 caused severe symptoms in children and resulted in the death of 1,800 children in the U.S. in 2009.

COVID-19 appears less severe in children

"As outbreaks of COVID-19 disease caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continue worldwide, there's reassuring evidence that children have fewer symptoms and less severe disease. That's among the insights provided by an expert review in The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, the official journal of The European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases."​

CDC: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

"[C]hildren with confirmed COVID-19 have generally presented with mild symptoms. Reported symptoms in children include cold-like symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough."​

Swine flu has killed up to 17,000 in U.S.: report

Reuters, Feb. 12, 2010: "H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday."​
