we will not be overwhelmed by covid 19 !

[Crepitus]

and the reason why we wont be overwhelmed is because of Trumps aggressive response to the virus ! actions like the early travel ban [dems called it racist] and cutting regs and red tape to allow the private sector develop vaccines and treatments for those already infected ! even though it has a higher death rate than h1n1 a virus that killed nearly 20 thousand Americans ! the deadlier covid 19 will not kill nearly as many because of actions taken ! i predict that Trumps streamlining of the process and cooperation with the private sector instead of relying on mainly gov agencies will be seen as a brilliant strategy ! social distancing daily educational news briefings to educate the public [something we did not see during the last administration ] telling us how to reduce infection and how to avoid infecting others if you suspect you are infected [personal responsibility] will not only stop the covid 19 spread but it may set a new standard for disease and influenza measures ! thats right the steps taken by Americans may save 100s of thousands of lives during the regular flu seasons in the future ! and the Trump administration will be even stronger now that we have slowed infection !

Shitloads of wishful thinking won't save you.

He doesn’t seem to have a clue. Hope fate is kind to this nation.

we have a strong team and a strong POTUS ! we have already minimized the spread !

We've minimized it? Sorry, but the rates are still climbing, and there are now towns like New Rochelle NY that are under quarantine. Sorry, that doesn't sound like anything is being minimized.

we shall see ... oh the numbers will climb but our hospitals will not be overwhelmed like those in China were .

The numbers will grow but not as fast as the numbers in the EU countries largely because the President took quick action to limit the spread of the infection with travel bans and to provide the resources and planning necessary to contain it. The early ban on travel from China and other countries with high rates of infection bought us time to build up our resources to combat this disease.

"Build up our resources"? Are you serious? We don't have enough test kits to go around, and some of the kits don't work properly. Never mind the fact that we don't have treatment options or any kind of a vaccine yet. And, the vaccine is anywhere from 12 to 18 months away. Exactly what resources has Trump "built up"?

he is not a doctor or an immunologist ! he does however have the best team in those fields along with the private sector in those fields ! and as far as testing goes we have never been set up where you take a test at the office and immediately get results... normally the sample is taken to a separate lab for the results ! that is quickly being addressed.. the outbreak is not going to be nearly as deadly as you and your evil leftwing pieces of shit pals are hoping it will be . if you belive otherwise accept the challenge coward .

And he's keeping these experts out by calling the meetings top secret.

You know, not only is South Korea managing to test 20,000 people a day, they even have drive through testing. If the US is so prepared and great, why are we not able to test our citizens? And the really sad thing is, we don't even have a rough guess of how many people actually are infected.

‘We're behind the curve’: U.S. hospitals confront the challenges of large-scale coronavirus testing | Science | AAAS

In the United States, in contrast, COVID-19 cases are climbing at an alarming rate, and people who have received tests for the virus, SARS-CoV-2, remain few and far between. (No official number exists, but fewer than 5000 people in the United States had received a test as of 9 March, according to an Atlantic article that attempted to tally the total.) The White House coronavirus task force has insisted that early problems created by a faulty test distributed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been overcome and that the U.S. government has increased production of functioning diagnostic kits. There has also been a push to move testing away from CDC itself and state labs to hospitals and commercial companies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 29 February changed its regulations to allow diagnostic labs that previously have met federal quality standards to modify the CDC protocol or design their own kits.

There are fewer cases here than any other nation that has infected citizens...Trump shut down travel from China while you were still whacking off to impeachment...that's right dumbass...he was able to do his job with you little seditious rats biting at his ankles....the test kits put in to the field were for the wrong virus so that took time to correct but it has nothing to do with the number of infections in our nation....we can handle the flu unlike Obama that lost 12,000 Americans to Ebola.....

We have more than enough test kits to go around. The CDC has shipped 75,000 test kits to the states and to date only a little over 7,000 people have been tested, not because of a lack of test kits but because a healthcare provider has to request the test and our rate of infection is so low few tests are being requested. In addition, the President has urged drug companies to produce more anti viral therapies and assured that these sometimes expensive treatments will be available to anyone who needs them. One vaccine is currently being tested by the FDA and several more will soon be available for testing, and the President has suggested he might fast track the testing depending on conditions. If conditions take a turn for the worse, it is possible we could have a safe vaccine available by September.

In addition, the President is taking strong steps to ease the pain the virus will bring to our economy, proposing strong measures to prevent economic harm to individuals and to businesses through this outbreak. No other country in the world has done a better job than the US in dealing with this virus.

Trump didn't outsource most of our medicines and medical supplies to China. Trump didn't put so many regulations in place to make it impossible to start up new companies that could manufacture the equipment we need. Trump acted earlier than most would to impose a travel ban on China and took criticism from other politicians for doing so. One thing Trump doesn't have is the ability to tell the future. I think he is doing better than most people in his position would do.

Again, why is it that S. Korea has the capability of testing 20,000 people per day, while we are still standing around with our thumbs up our ass? The more people you test, the more accurate the statistics are for who has the virus and where it is most prevalent.

As far as the economy, the stock market closed at the same level it was the day Trump took office. All the gains that had been made over the past 3 years have been erased.

There are fewer known cases here because we can't test for it.

First, there are plenty of test kits. The CDC has shipped 75,000 test kits to the states and only a little over 7,000 people have been tested because healthcare providers have only request that many tests. The CDC keeps track of two kinds of spreading, close contact and community spread. Close contact spread means they can identify the infected individual you caught the virus from and isolate both of you before you infect anyone else. Community spread means the infection is so wide spread in a region that it is impossible to identify who infected you. Obviously, community spread is much worse than close contact spread. Isolating individuals or communities in the case of community spread will reduce the rate of infection to the rest of us, but bringing more infected people into the country will start another trail of infection and raise the probability of infection for Americans.

The US has a very low infection rate and death rate and SK has one of the highest infection rates and death rates in the world. Furthermore, except for a few small communities in NY and Washington state, nearly all US cases are the result of close contact spread rather than community spread, while the virus is so widespread in SK that nearly all the cases are the result of community spread there, so it makes no sense to adopt the policies of SK when our situations are so different. We currently have ten times the number of test kits that are needed in the US and no one whose doctor has requested a test has to wait for one.
