The CDC had "erroneously identified the patient as a female" in a briefing with President Trump and Vice President Pence. Washington state and King County officials said the patient was a man during a news conference hosted by the CDC.

Cringe
@Melanie Cape Town Yes your face is cringe-ville.
40 million masks? So enough for just healthcare workers!?
@Nefertiti 57 only with those with underlining conditions like, chronic respiratory issues, diabetes, heart diseases.. Google how many Americans have those issues, besides the elderly!
@Wanda Cornell Cornell Hahahahahah. what a fool I have 50 N95.
Yep or the pres and govs families. We’re screwed. Places are already running out of masks and water
@Wanda Cornell Cornell they are already running out. Even online out of stock
@indicakitty Lady you need to check yourself in to the nut house. There is a thing called a faucet and water comes out of it. You can also use a plastic bag over your head make sure its secured tightly around the neck. LOL
Too late
There is no “containing this.” The incubation time is more than 3 weeks in many instances, and asymptomatic carriers are spreading it.
Obey your masters in the Trump-hate media.
What a yawn fest to demotards are
The incubation period is 3 weeks yet its been around since the end of december. ok. sure.
Memory every community in the United States has already had
Another freakin liar !

A J President Trump didn’t say it was a hoax. Honestly you’ve been misinformed. He’s words were twisted. Do your research. Thanks.
Exactly. I’m really worried. I’m.also not a healthy person. I’m so scared I’m gonna be next😔
Tim Smith that’s when you panic

Hope you all recall your language art skills from high school and can do inference , critical thinking, context analysis, and read between the lines.
Brilliant comment…

I think you need to recall your brain it appears to missing
The media are vultures.
I want to be addressed by medical professionals!
S, sorry but Pence is now the censor.. Who knows what info we will get.

“I would go to Walter Reed to see them so often….” Really? How often? More than twice?

PLEASE EVERYONE IN THE USA , START WEARING MASKS !!!

Donny needs to wear a hood. His bullshit is toxic.

48:58 – 51:10 is highly revealing if one has an ear to hear:
“For the most part and the people who get in trouble and ultimately, tragically die from coronavirus are people who are Elderly, and/or have Underlying conditions: Heart Disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity cause of the difficulties in breathing” Dr Fauci
Unpack and digest those data points. America the country of living w/ underlying conditions: Heart Disease (vessel) 121.5 mil Chronic Lung Disease (COPD) 35mil Diabetes (Pre) 100mil Obese/overweight 160mil typically overlapping conditions.
America’s elderly population, over 65, 52mil.
The US population is 331mil with 5% as the most vulnerable to death, 16,5mil Americans at baseline. 66,3mil Americans could warrant hospitalization up to intensive care. These are baseline predictable numbers taken on their face. The potential here should not be undervalued.
These numbers, on their face, are seismic when viewed under the context of a community based spread of a pandemic level virus where a conceptual vaccine is 12-18 months in the future.
Baby boomer population is the most vulnerable.
Wearing masks, even rudimentary ones, effectively cut off mass transmission and saved lives in China where I live in. Please citizens of the US, consider that.
