“It’s hard to light a fire under an agency where you defunded the parts of it that were supposed to respond to contagions.”

Well...

Isn’t it amazing that this craziness is happening right now while our President is on Air Force One on the way home from India!!!!!

[NCMtnMama]

My extended family behaves this same way. My husband and I call it “monkey-brain”. A good solid meteor strike will distract them.

Sanders likes China..maybe he should visit Wuhan and see how bad it is there?

[Calvin Locke]

Didn’t the Civil War kill 2% of the population? (at the time, that came out to something over 600K...)

[Rennes Templar]

Nah. It’ll go the way of SARS and Ebola. Will fade out in a month or two.

[proust]

How many SARS and Ebola cases made it to Italy?

I find it enormously interesting that Rod Rosenstein’s sister at the CDC is issuing panic inducing statements. Totally uncalled for, yet perhaps not without reason.

[cowboyusa]

He needs to go on tv tommorrow.

[SmokingJoe]

Exactly what is he wrong about here?
I read the entire script. Don't see anything he is wrong about.
Despite my advanced age, the last thing I worry about is coronavirus. Barring dying in a plane crash or car crash or whatever, I have every intention of seeing President Trump finish his second term

This is the CDC site for the latest US figures. The US figures are underwhelming.

The media are hyping it as they do with every problem, turning it into a crisis. Any one of the many crises that they obsess over could become a problem for Trump, which they will rapidly exploit.

Their ultimate goal is toppling Trump. It’s their daily addiction.

[Conserv]

lol

[Rennes Templar]

How many CV have made it to Africa?

[SmokingJoe]

Rod Rosenstein’s sister? That explains it. Didn't know that. I thought the statement from the CDC this morning was totally alarmist and run in direct conflict with their own figures on their Web site.
The deep state is everywhere.

[Obadiah]

Look up, Nancy Messonnier.

[SmokingJoe]

I am glad they are doing it now. The markets will have recovered long before November.

[proust]

One reported in Egypt. Oddly enough, every epidemic starts with one.

[nascarnation]

One is NOT the loneliest number...

[SmokingJoe]

I just did. You are right.

[Deo volente]

Yeah, I think Rush is wrong on the flu fatality rate. It’s much lower than 1%.

CDC estimates through February 15th:

Number of flu cases, 29,000,000-41,000,000

Number of deaths, 16,000-41,000

So, about one in a thousand who get the flu die from it. One-tenth of 1 percent. Rush’s numbers are totally wrong.
