Trumps re-election chances will be harmed by his inaction in dealing with containing this, far more so than by people trying to express their legitimate concerns to the one man who has the power essentially over our life and death. But hey, you keep on hoping.

Welcome to FR, cowboy.

Geez......hype much???

Your concern about our POTUS' 'inaction' is duly noted.

It isn’t hype, its stone-cold fact. This disease has every marker of being capable of being at least as dangerous as the Spanish flu. Right now ~20-30% of those infected seem to require intensive care. We do not have anywhere NEAR enough excess capacity in our hospitals. It’s not about beds, its about ventilators. The survival rate is decent now because those infected are getting the best care, what happens when that becomes overwhelmed? One man alone has the power to close our borders.

I think FR needs to add one of those “I’m not a robot” tests before letting someone post for the first time.
