    1. @Dr. Thomas Rasberry First, who said ANYTHING about Russia being responsible?

      Second, you have a doctor in front of your name, is it wise for anyone responsible for 370 million lives to suggest something as foolish as warm weather curing an infectious disease?

      I’m going to jump out there and presume you’ll say some form of “no” and then ask Wtf does that kind of foolish, dangerous illogic have to do with my politics?

    2. This is what we need.. the media isn’t telling us this. Let’s keep each other/state informed on here. I ain’t going to Iowa

    1. Congratulations america!!!!!!!
      Whites treated us Asians as viruses but you guys are the same!!!Let’s get along bro!

    1. @sylv Dont blame China anymore, they have already done good enough, at least they tried their best to keep 99% within China, while 2009 H1N1 virus outbreak and the state did nothing then spread to every country and killed 180000 people in the end!!

    2. @Larry Scary it hasn’t even hit America in a big way…yet. Your comment will only be meaningful if it’s still true in 6 months.

    3. Congratulations america!!!!!!!

    1. Just like the Iranian deputy health minister. Video of him mopping his brow looking sick while telling an audience there is nothing to worry about and now……he’s tested positive .Nobody at the press conference wearing masks, no telling how many he passed it on to.

    2. @Your Toto The medical professionals who died in China were exposed during the early period before quarantine procedures were in place. Indeed, they were exposed repeatedly, daily, for prolonged periods even before they started using the most effective masks for medics (N95). They are not representative of the general population. But they may become representative of the medical profession population in countries that continue to fail to implement a proper scientific quarantine protocols with contact, suspected and/or confirmed cases. This goes for America, where California is locking the lowest risk level citizens out of a quarantine building and leaving both them and medical professionals in limbo. As well as countries in Europe that are refusing to take it seriously. But more critically in lesser privileged countries if the exposed population exceeds the medical professions human and equipment resources. Or indeed, if they fail to have sufficient protective barriers for all staff in all districts across the entire country.

  1. There goes my life long dream career of being a “free hugs” giver in the streets of Wuhan by the year 2020.

    1. Here is where health care for all matters. Like in China and other Countries where all are treated for free. The government did not act on time. US does not has the capability of building a hospital in 10 days. All we can do is to cooperate and do what we have to do. Panicking won’t solve the issue. if we all cooperate we will be helping ourself. In 1918 the pandemic that began in Kansas was so deadly that no one could recover. With the coronavirus people are recovering. Humans no matter from where react the same way. Viruses don’t discriminate people do. The 1918 pandemic killed from 50 million to 100 million people and infected 500 million. US ignored a warning from a Drs concern about this flue( like the one from China) and it spread drastically globally including to Africa and other poor Countries. In America People wore being shot by police if they refused to ware masks or didn’t not cooperate. Basically wore very cruel out of fear to its own people. It’s humanity. People start to behave like animals. And that is understood. China has done tremendous effort. Yes many virus start from South Asia. But many other viruses can start in any continent. This link is for educational purposes only. If you are nervous please don’t watch. Its an example that no matter where one comes from humans behave the same. It’s very drustic video watch the link below at your discretion. This won’t happen today since the coronavirus is treatable meaning many recover. We need to stop pointing fingers. And pray https://youtu.be/UDY5COg2P2c

  2. It’s amazing that the interviewer was shocked at the estimate for creating a vaccine. I am no doctor but I think Dr. Facci was giving the best case scenario.

    1. The global vaccines industry is dominated by big players such as Pfizer, MSD, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Sanofi, and Johnson & Johnson.
      Worldwide sales of vaccines totalled $54bn last year, and have almost doubled since 2014, according to data analysts Statista.

      The drug czars will want the vaccine to market quicker than that. Gotta make that paper whether the vaccine is safe or not. Why is 1 year an acceptable time to test this vaccine? You wouldn’t get any long term studies that way. How is that even possible?

    2. Yeah she needs a reality check. That was unprofessional reaction on her part! He is a doctor. That is how long it usually takes. I think the Ebola vaccination took about 5 years

    1. Congratulations america!!!!!!!

  3. Can we expect to see Rush volunteering to help out at a hospital since this virus is just a common cold?

    1. @LeckMichImArsch I’m a history frick and learn the whole history of viruses. And unfortunately humans are capable eat each other from starvation. Human nature is very complicated. Thanks for the information. The problem is here all we can do is education to realive panic. They should set up special lines so people can talk to some body I talked to my pchychologist ealready. The more we know the better. I’m doing my best to stay rational and making my own plans, but learning how to reduce the chances. And cooperate with the authorities no matter how tough it might become. We are lucky that this coronavirus does not mean a 100% death. I am exercising lots of tea with honey and lemon. Basically created a plan to deal with the issue to the best of my ability. I knew the virus would spread here. And have been preparing for a while.

    1. @Some Person No new daily lies….No moronic vulgar insults…. No reminder of my pathetic insurance… What kind of human likes and supports that? It won’t be a flood that comes and washes it all away. Hopefully it won’t be a virus either.

  4. 3:37 quickly trying to fix her face when she realized the feed was on her. Lol I don’t think I’ve seen an anchor “break character” so obviously

  5. “Not if but when…” To say this is ominous warning would be an understatement. Remember how Trump and his enablers cut the budget at the CDC and also cut key health/illness reporting statistics? Yup, another inspired Trump decision that we all will have to pay a price for!!!! Yet his glassy eyed Kool Aid swigging Fox News quoting supporters keep saying “Trump’s done all these great things…” like some tinfoil hat wearing cult. Wake up – we should have been ready for this long ago! Trump’s horrible decisions/policies (redacted by Fox News) outweigh and out number his good decisions. This is yet another significant example of a bad Trump decision that people will die from.

    1. Jack Slingluff

      I’m no fan of Trump, but if Trump supporters do not realize how bad this can get, especially since he’s not giving he CDC a lot of money, I worry for them. I’m not saying they can’t agree with trump, but at least I hope they see this

  6. It’s SAR’s all over again, and it was gone before a vaccine could be created. This will end the same way, mark my words.
