He caused this mess by not getting in front of it,

What mess? How many people have been infected in America?

including honesty about the real numbers and deaths in China.

WTH are you talking about? It's President Trump business to run China too?
Since when?

He’s been taking actions but so many false-flag scare stories are out there that nobody can seem to settle down...taking normal Flu season precautions is best bet.
I see you are still in full concern-troll mode - perhaps you and Mariner can team up....

We have no idea. CDC only has working tests in 5 states at this point and guidance that says ONLY people with recent travel to China get tested. South Korea has run nearly 100K tests. We’ve run less than 500.

In spite of the fact that Italy, South Korea and Japan already have a lot of cases with no Chinese contact at all.

You pretty much nailed. Never realized there were so many scaredy cat Freepers. Lol.
I am fairly sure I will be cheerfully having a very nice glass of beer to celebrate President Trump's win come November. Old or not, I don't feel ready to pop off yet. Coronavirus huh? Gimme a break!

YES!

Mr. President, I’m afraid that you’re going to have to cancel all remaining trips out of the country until this election is over.

It’s clear that the Deep State will always strike when you aren’t here to defend yourself.

it is terrifying to even contemplate. we can both name governments that would have done exactly that, put in this situation, had they had the option.

“Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has warned around 17,600 products could be affected by the coronavirus. P&G’s CFO Jon Moeller, speaking at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference in the US, said P&G used 387 suppliers across China, shipping more than 9,000 materials.

Lesson learned: Global just-in-time supply chains need to end.

Absolutely 100% agreed.

But this will be a really TOUGH lesson to learn.

The beatings have already begun.

Denying them is pointless.

Having said that, if you use any P&G products and have ready cash, might want to get that extra bottle of Dawn. When supply chains DO move, things will likely cost more.

In 2028 80,000 people died from the regular flu in the US. Normally 30,000-40,000.

Thanks for the info. Have you been able to recharge the flux capacitor on your DeLorean yet?

Causing a spike in consumer prices later this year. Which is how they plan to get Trump.

Ya.

That’s far down the line of ‘get Trump’ at this point.

Likely be longer than later this year to move some of those supply chains. Taking months or years to build factories elsewhere along with all the manufacturing equipment that goes in them.

We have no idea.

So we have to assume it's huge?
Has there been any sudden rise in people dying across America?
Nope

” CDC only has working tests in 5 states at this point and guidance that says ONLY people with recent travel to China get tested.”

Which is exactly what the UK government, the German government and almost every other government outside Asia is doing.
Nobody is testing all their citizens. Not even China

South Korea has run nearly 100K tests. We’ve run less than 500.”

Yeah because Korea shares borders with China with vastly more human traffic.
We don't.

Actually we have no idea of that either.

Give it another month or six weeks to see.

It takes nearly a month for this virus to kill.

The reality is it’s coming. Cases are spreading worldwide from Italy now, including now in Africa and South America. Airline Travel should have been shut down the moment things got out of control in WuHan. That will be the lesson of this pandemic.

It’s foolish to say, well, it’s going to spread everywhere anyway we shutting down air travel could have delayed it and entire year or perhaps six more months and allowed other countries to get ready, protective gear, and most likely a successful treatment regimen in place, maybe even a vaccine.

I would say the CDC and WHO have acted extremely irresponsibly and everyone in the CDC should be fired after this is over, if they live through it.

It was always risky to stake so much on the stock market, which goes down as well as up, of course.

Everyone knows however that he’s been great for the economy. As long as he is seen as being great in dealing with the coronavirus, he’ll be fine.

Also, the Fed has had a hand in puffing up the market which is frothy at this point. We’re back up to record valuations, so it is bound to come down. It is probably less damaging to Trump if it floats down some with the coronavirus news.

Well if people are dying more than usual across the streets of New York, I am sure the networks which are on 6th Avenue and hate Trump, would have let us know by now. We don't gotta wait 6 weeks for that. The deaths in China are on the news all the time.

Coronavirus has been circulating throughout China and greater Asia since at least early December (probably longer). If it’s as transmissible and deadly as many are proclaiming, where are the millions of dead bodies? We should be seeing tens to hundreds of thousands of dead across Europe as well.
