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

[depotoo]

The Democrats have been in the midst of an hysterical temper tantrum since 2016

Proving once again Trumpleton's can convince themselves of anything the Liar-in-Chief tells them to believe.

Honey, there are no lies, only in your fantasy world of taking Trump out.

 

[Osiris-ODS]

What do libs think their President should have done instead?

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.
President Trump contradicts health officials on coronavirus response

Not making sure enough test kits are available.
New York Is Making Its Own Coronavirus Test After The CDC’s Tests Have Repeatedly Failed

Not making sure enough protective equipment like the appropriate masks are available.
The Global Shortage of Medical Masks Won't Be Easing Soon

Not making a plan for the increased availability of hospital beds when existing facilities become overwhelmed.

Mistakes the admin has already made in handling the virus.

So it's Trump's fault that private corporations didn't manufacture enough surgical masks to meet demand for all possible scenarios? How exactly could Trump be responsible for the supply side decisions of private industry? Unless you're suggesting that the government should control the production of these commercially available products?

The genie is out of the bottle. Community contagion. This will not be contained. Covid-19 will become as common as the common cold (which is also a coronavirus) and the flu.

There will be a very high infection rate. The people who have been diagnosed are after the fact. After they have been contagious and came in contact with other people.

It is bi-coastal now.

Geometric progression is probably inevitable.

Once there is a community spread the virus becomes virtually impossible to contain completely. This is exactly what health experts have tried to get across even as the Trump admin keeps trying to downplay the likely scenario.

Dems and health experts are trying to get people to take precautions and be prepared. It's the responsible thing to do, putting lives before politics.

 

[berg80]

So it's Trump's fault that private corporations around the world did not manufacture enough surgical masks to meet demand for all possible scenarios?

The admin should have put orders in for masks and other protective gear when the virus first appeared in China. They should have ramped up production of test kits. These are no-brainer precautionary measures, the kind experts who Trump fired were not around to recommend.

Let’s see another article from the Harvard school itself, shall we?
Keeping perspective on the coronavirus outbreak

u made the pt. The article referenced is from Jan. There is no actual information beyond 'weather warming" maybe a vaccine sometime out of trumps cdc. Who knows. A guy came through my gym yesterday who'd been deployed to Djibouti and came back through Italy.

My guess is that in the end this will just be flu season II. But my kids office at a hosp in Philly is preparing for possible quarantine.

Military officials at Travis Air Force Base declare ‘public health emergency’

"Military officials at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California declared a “public health emergency” Monday because of a “possible public health situation involving novel coronavirus 2019,” according to an email sent out by the military.

The email does not describe the health situation, but says it “requires immediate action.” It says a public health emergency officer may “close base facilities, restrict movement or implement quarantine for at risk individuals” at the base near Sacramento. The declaration also aids coordination with the surrounding Solano County.

The U.S. State Department evacuated nearly 180 Americans from Wuhan, China — the epicenter of the covid-19 outbreak — to Travis on Feb. 5, where they remained in quarantine until their release. Later, dozens of passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, where more than 700 people became infected after they were quarantined in Yokohama harbor, were quarantined there. They were set to be released Monday."

The problem is......what is needed is TRUTH, not speculation from either side.
But preparedness is vital.
So, having tRUMP make the comment he made is very irresponsible.
Even if you might not understand that perspective.

He said it was under control. It isn't. Saying it was is incredibly irresponsible at best. Sorry if you're embarrassed by that truth. You should be.

Causing a panic will make shit worse.

Here's the undisputed facts, berg. Under Trump only aa very small handful of Americas have come down with Corona, and very, very few have died. Compared to Liberal nations like Iran, Red China and Italy, President Trump has done a tremendous, almost unbelievably astounding job on the Corona Virus. If Hillary Clinton had won, it may have been worse, a lot worse here. There is no way to know for certain, but its a definite possibility that under liberalism we'd be looking at a new "Black Death" type scenario, especially as Mrs. Clinton pledged to get rid of modern type medicine for a new socialized scheme.

2. If the CDC test kits don't work how it that Trump's fault? Is that the best our "expert" scientists and doctors at CDC can do?
3. Who moved the US factories, including masks, to China? Who said "those jobs are not coming back?" Not Trump, he is bringing factories back.
4. This link goes nowhere, like this thread.

Trump appointed the head of the CDC, it was his responsibility for the CDC for the kits.... There are expert in CDC but Trump didn't listen to them when he went against there advice bringing those infected people back on a commercial flight.
Could you tell us the exact Hollywell and 3M factories Trump has brought back...

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

Nope

"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?

He could STFU

He trusts Xi like he trusts his pal Putin ahead of our FBI CIA SS ,,,,What an AH

Get back to me in a month about that after we have well over 1K cases. The sad fact is the spread is just beginning to accelerate here.

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

I saw Cuomo's comments and that is NOT what he said. He said they need enough test kits to do 1000 tests a day. - PRONTO. Thus far, they've been able to test around 500 people ... TOTAL. By comparison, South Korea has tested 75,000.

Face it, Donnie botched the response.

Redfield is the head of the CDC. Azar is his boss. If the testing kit shortage doesn't get resolved soon Trump may fire them both.
The government doesn't work as fast as private industry, and private industry doesn't work for free. Where is that $8b Nancy wanted?
Trump didn't bring back those infected from Japan, that was the State Department, against Trump's wishes.
"Those jobs are not coming back" I don't know any Hollywell factory, WTF??

How has testing those many more people benefiting South Korea? What are their stats, as opposed to ours?

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.

Those numbers will be obsolete in a couple of days. Then the new numbers will be obsolete. Get the picture?

Yep, the numbers should be updated HOURLY.
