Trump Says He Trusts Xi’s Word on Coronavirus: ‘It’s All Under Control’

[berg80]

"President Donald Trump has said he trusts China’s President Xi Jingping to tell world authorities the truth about a deadly coronavirus that has killed nine in China and has had one confirmed case in the United States. Trump spoke to CNBC about the virus on Wednesday as fears grow around the world that it could become impossible to contain. “We have it totally under control,” Trump said from the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Asked about the confirmed case in Washington state, Trump responded: “It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday that a Washington state resident who was returning from China on Jan. 15 was diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus. Trump said he believes that Xi and Chinese health officials will tell officials around the world everything they need to know about the virus, citing his “great relationship” with the Chinese president."

Coronavirus may have spread undetected for weeks in Washington state, which reported first two deaths in U.S.

"The coronavirus has been circulating undetected and has possibly infected scores of people over the past six weeks in Washington state, according to a genetic analysis of virus samples that has sobering implications for the entire country amid heightening anxiety about the likely spread of the disease.

The researchers conducted genetic sequencing of two virus samples. One is from a patient who traveled from China to Snohomish County in mid-January and was the first person diagnosed with the disease in the United States. The other came from a recently diagnosed patient in the same county, a high school student with no travel-related or other known exposure to the coronavirus. The two samples look almost identical genetically, said Trevor Bedford, a computational biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who announced the results of the research on Twitter late Saturday night."

“This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington State for the past 6 weeks,” Bedford wrote. “I believe we’re facing an already substantial outbreak in Washington State that was not detected until now due to narrow case definition requiring direct travel to China.”

Since Trumpleton's won't be hearing the truth from the admin or right wing media it's the obligation of Dems to keep them informed about the virus for their own safety.

Once again, I should emphasize for all those confused Trumper's, no one is blaming the Bigot-in-Chief for the virus happening. That's on China. But he deserves blame for not preparing a proactive, coordinated, comprehensive, competent government response and for constantly minimizing the public health threat. Like, for example, saying "it's all under control" when nothing could be further from the truth.

 

[Confounding]

In your opinion is there anything Trump has done in the last 4 years that wasn't wrong?

Sounds pretty much under control to me.

President Trump just didn't take President Xi's "word for it" at all. Instead his experts of the Coronavirus task force have examined the information first. Remember Trump isn't an expert in epidemiology, and doesn't pretend to be.

What do libs think their President should have done instead? Appoint a Corona Czar? Appointing czars is a russian thing, not very American at all.

I'm sorry if a recitation of Big Fat Don's idiotic actions, for which you'd be lighting your hair on fire if done by a Dem, embarrasses you. But at some point you folks are going to have to accept responsibility for this rolling disaster of a presidency.

Don't worry Biden is rising in the Democrat party.

Downplaying the threat to the public's health. “And again, when you have 15 people — and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero — that’s a pretty good job we’ve done,” he said.

Allowing a political message instead of a science based message be the admin's priority.

Contradicting health experts in the admin's public messaging.

Not making sure enough test kits are available.

Mistakes the admin has already made in handling the virus.

Yes, because I'm not a partisan clown like you and most of the other posters here. I have both criticized and defended Trump on numerous occasions. I go case by case rather than going all in on somebody being good or bad. Reality isn't black and white.

So from your point of view, our President should be encouraging people to panic and to give people the impression that this is the new Black Death, and the economy is on the verge of collapse? And that it is time to abandon all hope and adopt Socialism?

Here's the thing. He has failed in epic fashion in lots of ways. You cultists refuse to believe that simple truth. That puts you on the spectrum of stupidity all by yourselves. How does it feel to have Trump Denial Syndrome?

 

[berg80]

Causing a panic will make shit worse.

Telling people what is happening and making sure they are prepared for the virus' spread isn't spreading panic. Saying it is is an insidious lie.

Depends on your point of view.

Leftards seek a panic here, as they are hoping for Economic Collapse and enough deaths they can blame on President Trump, that they can convince the public that the country is out of control.

The socialists are hoping for better poll numbers, they see this as a key. Stable, sober leadership is the last thing they want to see.
