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

Population US: 327.2 million

40 percent of US population: 130.88 million

2 percent of 40 percent: 2.617 million dead

80% of Covid-19 are mild cases.
Your stats maybe ok for China but not for the US
Did you factor in new therapies and vaccines, and the warm weather break coming up? Didn't think so.

There are currently no therapies or vaccines for this virus. Best guess estimates for a vaccine are 12 to 18 months.

As far as the warm weather? Well, there have been examples of pandemics that were mild the first time around, but the second time around they were much deadlier. And, unfortunately, COVID-19 doesn't give a person immunity after they catch it. They can catch it repeatedly, meaning it's probably here to stay.
 
The US government is working its ass off to save lives.
The admin has already failed in its responsibility to make preparations for the inevitable outbreak.
/——-/ Not so. Trump's Decisive Actions Helped Save Lives During Coronavirus Epidemic, Experts Admit
If you choose to believe right wing media propaganda I can't help you.

I can't believe anyone still uses PJ Media as a source for anything. :D

  • Overall, we rate PJ Media to be Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies as well as numerous failed fact checks.
 
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.


Why? What purpose would that serve?

"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
Everyone should know enough to trust Putin over our FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies. Those agencies have been infiltrated by enemy democommiecrats.

No, masks offer no guarantee and the average person doesn't need to wear one. But they are better than nothing and there are different TYPES of masks. These are the most effective and used by the medical professionals treating patients.

The high rate of infection may be blamed, in part, on inadequate hand disinfection and sparse use of N95 respirators, which are designed to filter out virus particles, according to a study posted Feb. 19 on the preprint server medRxiv. (The research has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal.)

The "N95" designation means that the respirators block out at least 95 percent of tiny particles that come into contact with them, on the scale of 0.0001 inches (0.3 microns) in diameter, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.​

The leadership of the FBI, CIA , etc., have been involved in a coup against the current leadership in America. That's not good, and its not good for them. I expect that as time goes by, we'll again have loyalty in these agencies, as the FBI Lovebirds, Comey, McCabe and others are expelled.

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?

/——-/ You sound like an idiot. Presidents don’t get involved in manufacturing products. We’re not a Central Command economy, you dolt,

Why are you attacking me? Berg80 is the one who suggested that Trump was responsible for the manufacture of commercial products. Try reading it again and notice the obvious use of question marks and biting sarcasm, before slinging the words "idiot" and "dolt" at me.

Population US: 327.2 million

40 percent of US population: 130.88 million

2 percent of 40 percent: 2.617 million dead

80% of Covid-19 are mild cases.

There are currently no therapies or vaccines for this virus. Best guess estimates for a vaccine are 12 to 18 months.

As far as the warm weather? Well, there have been examples of pandemics that were mild the first time around, but the second time around they were much deadlier. And, unfortunately, COVID-19 doesn't give a person immunity after they catch it. They can catch it repeatedly, meaning it's probably here to stay.

Yep, that's what I heard for Covid-19 too. Needs to be included in the annual flu shots.
I'll take this summer break just to catch up on test kits and masks.
My last post was to refute the "death sentence" that was predicted for 2.62m Americans.
I don't think it will be many, depends how fast therapies and vaccines can be developed.
 
This is extremely sad, yet it was predictable. It's exactly why Trump was wrong to say "it's all under control."

Seattle-area officials report new coronavirus deaths, bringing US total to 6

Seattle-area officials report new coronavirus deaths, bringing US total to 6

At least four new patients have died from COVID-19 in Washington state, bringing the total number of deaths in the U.S. to at least six as the coronavirus spreads throughout local communities around Seattle, local health officials said Monday.

Public health officials near Seattle reported the nation’s first two deaths in a nearby suburb and several new cases over the weekend. Local officials said that about 50 residents and employees of a nursing care facility were being tested for the new coronavirus after several other people there tested positive. The outbreak there worsened on Monday.

“Unfortunately, we are starting to find more COVID-19 cases here in Washington that appear to be acquired locally here in Washington,” Washington state health officer Dr. Kathy Lofy told reporters at a press conference. “We now know that the virus is actively spreading in some communities.”
 
Ebola spread in a completely different way. It was not an airborne disease. According to public health authorities, the only way a person can get Ebola is by coming into direct contact with the body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk and semen) of someone who is already showing symptoms.

However, I do want to acknowledge your attempt at deflection.
 
5 new deaths from the virus. And, the bad thing is that most of those who have died caught it from community infection.
Yes, that's what makes the disease so insidious. It spreads thru the air and has a incubation period of 2 weeks, making the spread that much more difficult to contain.
 
You know, I'm still kinda worried about how they are screening for it. Inside Edition did a story on it a couple of weeks back when it first broke, and it found that the laser temperature readers they were using were the wrong ones. Seems that the laser ones where they don't touch you measure temps anywhere from 2 to 8 degrees cooler than what they actually were. The only ones that tell the true temps are the medical grade ones, but they need to be touching the skin in order to take a temp.

Maybe that is why they missed those cases and now have community transmission.
