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

[Norman]

Can someone remind me, was it Trump or the democrat party that want open borders for the virus to travel unstopped?

It's sad to see you folks lying your asses off.

Typical left wing tactic these days, mixing sound bites. President Trump said the positive test on the Washington State person was under control. NY Gov. Andy Cuomo ain't exactly a Trump fan but he said the same thing today

 

[berg80]

These are the three most relevant scenarios:

1. Health officials get control of the coronavirus through strict public health measures.

When severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) first hit Asia in 2002, it was pretty scary — with a fatality rate of about 10 percent and no drugs shown to be effective against it. (The current coronavirus by comparison has an estimated fatality rate of 2.3 percent.) But within months, SARS was brought under control, and for the most part stamped out, by international cooperation and strict, old-school public health measures such as isolation, quarantine and contact tracing.

2. The coronavirus hits less-developed countries, and things get much worse before they get better.

One of the grim lessons from the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa is how an epidemic can grow when it hits countries with weaker health infrastructures. This is why the World Health Organization and others have been putting so much attention on preparing countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the coronavirus, even though few cases so far have been reported there.

3. The new coronavirus spreads so widely, it simply becomes a fact of life.

This is in essence what happened with the 2009 H1N1 outbreak. It spread quickly, eventually to an estimated 11 to 21 percent of the global population. The WHO declared it a pandemic, and there was widespread fear.

H1N1 turned out to be much milder than initially feared, causing little more than runny noses and coughs in most people. And H1N1 is now so commonplace, it’s simply seen as a part of the seasonal flus that come and go every year among the global population.

Here is proof democrats want open borders is no a lie.
Show me your proof that democrats do not want open borders.
Immigration: Democrats must stop bashing Trump, start proposing ideas

Bernie has promised to tear down the wall on the border if it's not too much effort.

Biden is the "America is the land of immigrants, not of Americans" guy...

They are all open borders crowd. Want to conquer America by the Mexican vote.

Thank you for a non-partisan fact-based post.
Covid-19 is serious but not a death sentence for most healthy individuals.
It needs to be controlled as much as possible until therapies and vaccines are developed.
The US government is working its ass off to save lives.
Congress needs to pass funding ASAP.
Stay informed and stay safe.

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

Nope every single thing Trump has done is exactly 100% the wrong thing to do. They aren’t partisan, mind you, they are just analyzing.

If they had their way, Solemani would be alive.

 

[miketx]

How is a US President responsible for a virus arising in Red China?

He isn't, I'm not claiming he is.

You mental help.

President Trump said the positive test on the Washington State person was under control.

Right, it isn't.

"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."

 

[eddiew]

Well since Tramp trusted Putin over our great agencies it stands to reason he'd trust Xi's word too. We have a misfit in our WH

 

[Manonthestreet]

"The fact that the CDC allowed the public to be exposed to a patient with a positive COVID-19 reading is unacceptable," Mayor Ron Nirenberg tweeted.

Officials from the city of San Antonio, San Antonio Metro Health, and Bexar County released a statement from the CDC which said the person had been in quarantine for several weeks and tested negative for coronavirus on at least two occasions. A Wuhan evacuee was released from quarantine in Texas and later tested positive for the coronavirus
State Dept exposed all those not alrdy sick so of course he tested negative in the beginning stages. Thank you State Dept for flying the healthy with the sick. All of those should be retested immediately.

As of March 1, 2020: Re Washington state

Coronavirus outbreak kills second person in Washington state after first New York case confirmed

King County officials said the man was in his 70s and had underlying health conditions. He died at Evergreen Health Medical Center, where the first person also died.

On Saturday, it was announced a man in his 50s from the Seattle area, who also had underlying health issues, had died from the illness.

As an air med transport helicopter pilot just stated-
Everyone should take note from this article this flu and virus season. “If you’re sick stay home.” Can’t begin to tell you how many times someone has came to work still sick with sneezing and coughing and got everyone else sick in the office. Also if you do happen to catch the corona virus you only have a 98% chance of survival.

says it all right there.

"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.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/heal...292336-5bcc-11ea-9055-5fa12981bbbf_story.html

"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.

/—-/ WTF is the president- any president supposed to say about another world leader in a public forum? Is he supposed to call him a liar? How would that affect relations? Are you that dense or is it TDS?

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.

Trump is a shitty person and a clown. He's not been wrong on everything. But that doesn't make him a not shitty person who isn't a clown.

The admin has already failed in its responsibility to make preparations for the inevitable outbreak.
