Russia hoax. Fail
Ukraine hoax. Fail
Coronavirus hoax. Failing
Very, very bad optics.
And, he’s wrong on the facts.
I joined a nephew and his wife (a doctor, her medical specialty in Infectious Diseases) at a Jazz Concert at a theater at Columbia University Saturday night.
No bare hand touching of surfaces outside your own home or auto. No touching of face - mouth, nose or eyes, with your own bare hand. Wash hands frequently. All things way more important than drug store face masks.
When going to the men’s room - the door was open so no one had to touch the door to get in - 1st move was using forearm to move the lever of the paper towel dispenser, 2nd move rip off an end of the paper towels, third move use a piece of paper towel when touching the stall door to open and close it, third move - do business (pee) touching nothing but my own clothes and body, fourth move use same piece of paper towel to reopen the stall door, fifth move leave room without touching water faucet and sink that everyone has used. In the theater I had my outerwear gloves left on since before entering the theater (it was cold Saturday nite).
My nephew’s wife is well informed, even on all the specifics of the case in Westchester county (New Rochele), including the doctors and nurses involved in the case there. Though none of the case has involved her hospital or its staff (in a different area of Westchester County), they are keeping tabs on all persons (including medical staff) that have been involved in or connected to the case; with information sharing agreements between the hospitals as part of their infectious disease protocols.
He just handed the dems all the fodder they need for the fall election commercials.

Simply going near the public restroom was a risk.
Every flush aerosolizes it if anyone is infected.
Deadly bug.....NOT for most people. Most survive and I assume he is not living in a senior facility and healthy.
Wonder what:
Bernadette Hogan’s and Kate Sheehy’s Free Republic’s log in names are?
Sounds reasonable with the emotional irrationality going on here on FR and across America.
I was going to go to NYC tomorrow - but I just cancelled, not because I’m not worried about the virus but about the insane overreaction of the local government. They’ve been taking about imposing a quarantine on the city, shutting down public transit, etc. and with the complete collapse of law enforcement brought on by no bail and the decision not to charge younger offenders no matter what, I think it’s a place I’d rather not be for the next few days.
The disease is manageable and worth the risk; it’s the bizarre and unpredictable government actions and resulting public unrest that concern me.
“Due to COVID-19 all TCP apps are being converted to UDP”
at least you will have changed your ports, I hope this makes you feel more secure :)
The media has successfully created a panic above all others. Only God’s intervention now will save America now as Trump will take the fall unless He intervenes
.
Maybe we can quarantine Cuomo!!!!

“The toilet bowl, sink, and bathroom door handle of an isolation room housing a patient with the novel coronavirus tested positive for the virus, raising the possibility that viral shedding in the stool could represent another route of transmission, investigators reported.
Air outlet fans and other room sites also tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), though an anteroom, a corridor, and most personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by health care providers tested negative, according to the researchers, led by Sean Wei Xiang Ong, MBBS, of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, Singapore.
Taken together, these findings suggest a “need for strict adherence to environmental and hand hygiene” to combat significant environmental contamination through respiratory droplets and fecal shedding, Dr. Ong and colleagues wrote in JAMA.”
I trust Singapore WAY WAY WAY more than I trust our CDC.
Singapore has essentially shut down the disease.
Are you sure he didn’t get Coronavirus before the rest of the world?
I am trained in virology and epidemiology and I've been working on coronavirus every day since January. I am familiar with the Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Event 201 exercises, and have done population-level smallpox planning, among other things.
I only am aware of CNN when I'm in an airport.
And yes, in this instance, I' quite sure I know more than President Trump does.
Exactly. There’s no need to shut down the entire city, the transit system, or anything else. A little prudence and reasonable precautions - fine. And if the city - or any city - wanted to do something real, they could start by cleaning up their transit hubs (such as Grand Central) and preventing people from living (and doing the rest of the associated functions!) in them.
But that would require actually doing something rather than screaming politicized hysteria.
Trump is right.
And I think the people who are not going to get elected or reelected are the hair on fire pols, once this settles down and people see how cynically they have been used.
