    1. @Sandra Albuquerque i don’t remember what i said, Sandra, but just in case good man Friday is still available and not yet insane, i intend to propose him with marriage…since my dear, i can (anymore) do a lot worse! 😉 ty!

    2. @James Volk this is just the start of the epidemic, no one knows how many are actually sick. Because there aren’t enough kits to test everyone.

    3. Sandra Albuquerque I apologise to you and Daniel. I misinterpreted the tone of what was going on in these posts by Daniel. See my subsequent post re Larry Fish bags.

    4. Sunny Johnson question as you now understand how it disables your emergency hospitals what is the proper action to take if one had an elderly person who was showing, just keep in room isolate, monitor? when I looked at the utube video I just was floored, sad as it was plain to see, yet what were we all thinking, I know I should not ask the latter question as now is not the time, I am breaking my own words, forgive me

    1. @Jim Stabler His point was that health care is free at the point of use. In the US a trip to ER might end up costing you US$1000+ In a countries like Italy, Singapore or the UK it will cost nothing.

    2. @Lord of the Fly’ His point was that health care is free at the point of use. In the US a trip to ER might end up costing you US$1000+ In a countries like Italy, Singapore or the UK it will cost nothing.
      Do you want people who may have a deadly virus avoiding treatment because they are frightened more of the bill.

  1. Think about this as a possibility, the testing kits are deliberately being withheld, slowed down, because Trump Will not like the numbers if the country is flooded with test kits, in turn giving a more accurate picture
    We all know his obsession when it comes to numbers.

    1. @Brian Boulter That’s great and all, but one of the Democratic candidates literally said he wouldn’t have closed the borders. That doesn’t scream “common Sense” to me.

    2. Tommy
      Doing well, meaning having a little luck on your side, rather than any sound reasoning, or judgement involved.

    3. @Brian Boulter It has nothing to do with “luck”. We clamped down on the borders, restricted flights from heavily contaminated countries = Fewer and fewer infected people coming in. And I think the low mortality rate in the US so far just has to do with people finally doing something proactive to either:
      A. Keep themselves from getting it, or
      B. If they ARE feeling sick, they’re actually resting and taking care of themselves, instead of trying to just push through it like they do every other flu season.

      https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

      I’m including a link for you. You should follow along. It gets updated several times a day, and the reported numbers are very accurate.

    4. @Tommy Tommy, this disease has a high mortality rate, and is not a flu. I suspect you’re a troll, and you are endangering lives by spreading Trumpist propoganda. You need to go away now.

    1. Trump shifts blame to other countries for his failings. His working theory is that if you don’t test for it, you don’t have it. He didnt want cruise ships unloading their quarantined pax because they would affect his numbers. Here’s the architect of fake news telling us his tricks. Even the experts at the CDC were amazed at how smart he was about the science of contagions (or at least that’s what he told us). He told us he had a feeling this flu was no big deal and it would all be behind us when the daffodils showed. I think that was 5- 6 weeks ago. He was boarding a helicopter to one of his rallies.
      He had a window then to get ahead of this thing but chose to pretend everything was under control. He’s put my life (I’m an active 73 who is unfortunately immune-suppressed), my wife’s (still a front-line healthcare professional exposing herself to Coronavirus while she cares for the sick as I write this), and my 39 year-old daughter (an epidemiologist who like me is immune-suppressed and also a vulnerable asthmatic) at unacceptable risk.

    2. @SolSere Jeremy Don’t waste your breath trying to talk methodology and fact to an audience that hasn’t listened to reason for 4 years now.

    3. @Stephanie Drake Extrapolate 1 in 10 on a population of 350 million and then accept that the infection rate is going to go up and up and up. In 2 weeks, the situation in Italy went from 1000 cases to more cases than you could count (in a blink of the eye, it was out of control). That’s what’s going to happen here by April 1. It won’t be a joke. That’s disturbing. Trump is the April fool.

    4. @QualityTradez Do the math. 5% of 1,000,000 = 50,000. Many of those wil be intubated and some will die. Lucky you. That’s on a base of 1 million. In all likelihood the way this contagion is spreading, the effect will be 50 times more devasting. When the Spanish Flu (1917-1920) killed 50,000,000 over 3 years (it came in at least 3 waves), most of those deaths came in the 2nd wave as the virus had mutated and was unstoppable. As I understand it, we don’t have much of any defense for Covid19. Maintaining social distance is a strategy, but it’s a bit of a crap shoot. Better hope Covid19 doesn’t become more lethal over time.

    1. carey and now Chump just got his money hungry hands on $50 billion more for him to shovel somehow into his friends pockets with a kickback to his pockets…..the ONLY thing that Chump and his corrupt “cabinet” are interested in is pillaging the U.S. treasury!

    2. BTS LIVE Bingo! and now he just called national emergency because he found out that he could release $50 BILLION of taxpayer dollars…..which he will use to enrich his buddies by hiring them….and they, in turn, will give a nice kickback into his bottomless pit pockets

    1. @Severin Slightly

      He f..ked up galactically

      And here is a supporter advocating for him.

      Yo
      SS
      April will fix everything …you forgot to mention.

  2. Everyone wakes up when the sports get turned off. Politicians rely heavily on the American public being distracted by sports. I wonder if this changes how people pay attention to the democratic primary?

    1. Caligula and Caligula45 both depend on sports to distract.

      Good insight about sports.

      Thanks.

    2. What a bumbling a..hole…blaming the world for the pile of fecal matter his inept handling of corona has created.

      For entertainment, boy do we need some right now, look for what his supporters will argue to support him.

    3. @queenk.c smith -wuz you? Lol. Do you really think the Democrats are succeeding? They are getting votes but it’s all people who’ve voted Democrat all their life or they hate this country.

  3. Hey, no worries. Once the warm weather come, it will magically disappear. After all, there are only 5 cases, and soon there will be none. Thus spake the wise oracle.

    1. Current death projections are roughly the entire population of Colorado. Given a 50% national infection, with 3.5% death and adequate medical care for all. 6 million lives may be lost without intervention.

    2. @Suzzette Van-Lare

      Scheeeeesh.

      You need to explain your sarcasm?

      Must be a Caligula45 supporter, Suzette.

    3. Compassion Campaigner it’s Suzzette* with two z’s thanks. I didn’t make the post so I’m not explaining anything. I simply made a comment. Please remain blessed.

    4. @Suzzette Van-Lare

      My bad. U didn’t make the comment, SuZzette.

      Too, I am supportive of your comment and I also was only making a comment on how you had to explain the post.

      Respect.

  4. When I was at University in the USA, the culture was to accept responsibility and change you ways to get the job done. Now it appears that its just to blame someone else…………anyone………. This is poor management.

    1. DynaCatlovesme People should take a guillotine to the front of the White House, the SC, and the Senate. Like in Puerto Rico. 😂

    2. What “answers” do you want? He’s focusing on the economy. Cause guess what, if that spirals down the drains, NO pandemic efforts are really going to make a difference.

    3. Answers?
      Sort of.
      Answers as to how tRump will spend the vast amount of money we give him annually in taxes to manage this situation is where I am.

      I want my money back.

    4. @David Musser

      Ah.

      Here’s a t-Rump supporter.

      I was anxious to see how they would support their bloated idol.

      Here it is…….. belligerent NOTHINGNESS …just lime their leader.

  5. Another useless babbling session by bone spurs. It’s “not my fault” and it’s ” someone else’s fault” . The usual I know everything there is to know about virus’s. It’s ok go to work it’s ok for old people to fly and take Cruise’s. Mop top is more clueless every day.

    1. And Trump: i am being very strong, the strongest, when i do what every other country has already done.

  6. Trump didn’t take any early actions. How is he going to blame Europe when he did nothing but call it a hoax for 3 months

    1. James K. Boyle the only statement that you made that was true was that trump has been watching since January because he certainly took no action

    2. @StrawHat Luffy he tried to block flights from china but Pelosi keeps trying to stop him.

      But in all serious. What was Trump suppose to do?

      Swine flu has statistics that 90% worse and nobody did a thing.

    3. @StrawHat Luffy it is also a fact now that President Trump has done more than any other president against a virus, flu, or cold. Its simply amazing how he us getting our country on board to social distance and slow this virus to a halt.

  7. “There needs to be “TESTING STATIONS” set up locally and regionally like emissions stations are set up! That is once we get the tests, testing and testing parameters!!!” T. Davis

    1. @Dave S Hahahaha alright lol. Republicans make the markets great. Liberals tank them. Take care.

    2. @Sandy Allen to sabotage America. The former and current stewards of the Intelligence community attempted to remove Trump on December 18, 2019.

    3. @QualityTradez Italy is rated #2 globally while the U.S. is rated 37th in medical industry performance.

    4. @johnny walker Yes but those numbers are pulled and based off of Italy’s system. Which is a system rigged to make them look better even if they are worse. Perfect example is of infant mortality rate. US counts an infant as alive the second it is born from the mothers womb. If it dies immediately after it is considered a child death. Italy requires a child be alive for no less than 24 hours and no more than 48 hours to be considered an alive child. So they have a 48 hour period in which a child dies and would not get counted statistically toward their child death rate. My cousin worked for 5 years as a nurse in Italy and other countries after that. She refused to allow hospitals there to do anything for her is she needed it. It was so bad she would fly back to the US just to go to a doctor. Don’t believe numbers online. Get it from real people and real sources.

  8. He sound like he have the coronavirus .., listen to his breathing. He’s sick physically & mentally.

    1. He’s getting worse for sure, it’s every single speech now, he can hardly speak and loses breath and looks like he’s forgetting what to say.

  9. When Trump reads off a prompter he sounds like a reading-impaired third grader. I am not encouraged.

    1. @John Reed I trust that tRump is like a gnat hitting the windshield of God’s plan and that the last thing passing through his enfeebled little mind is his a$$#()e

  10. “We have dramatically-less cases…” Trump needs a math lesson on exponential growth curves

    1. @Robert O’Brien exponential growth curve is a fancy word for compounded interest. And given that Trump is all about making money, I’m sure he’ll figure it out sooner or later!!

    2. @James Hart Trump already had money he didn’t spend his life as a politician piggy banking off American taxpayers.

    3. @Jonnis “fanatical” supporters lol I like that, I’ll try to remember it the next time someone beats me up for wearing my MAGA hat.

  11. 8:43 I didn’t see a President “coming to terms” with anything. I saw a guy who looked sedated having a hard time reading off of a teleprompter

  12. Trump* sounds like he has been drugged…
    The more Trump* talks, the farther the stock market falls~!

  13. “dramatically fewer cases in America…”.
    Who is he trying to kid?
    Suggest the news channels keep replaying this blatant lie, as the count goes up.
