  1. Trump will fire him and replace him with trump Jr. where he can see it’s more hoax created by Hilary. Blah blah blah

    1. It is not a hoax. Stop looking at all the misinformation from social media. All that misinformation about the coronavirus is not helping the situation.

    2. Beth H I won’t be surprised trump would do something like that. Trump has Jared running multiple departments in government..

  2. Now it is? Jesus Christ!!!! When will people think for themselves and stop waiting on these “politicians/experts” to spoon feed them junk?

  3. And the stable genius got rid of the pandemic response teams two years ago! They were crucial in keeping the Ebola virus from becoming a pandemic! Elections have consequences!

    1. @Armando Zabala Its strange. I would have thought people would be blaming God instead of a mere mortal.

  4. The president** must stop holding rallies and pay attention to the facts and figures reported by the world medical community.
    According to (preliminary at best) figures published today the calculated death rate from COVIN-19 is: 
    3%     = world wide 
    0.5% = South Korea (tested 100K people)
    4%     = Iran 
    3%     = China
    2%     = US

    If South Korea is taken as the most accurate simply based on known testing then the death would be between 0.5 and 3%.
    Still higher than the common flu at 0.1%.

    1. @John Smith It did in 1918. Or, are you saying, this may be worse? I believe that we are simply more aware of the Potential.

    2. @John Smith It’s the Flu? Well I’ll just head over to Walgreens to pick up some meds then. John Smith, really? Was someone else using John Doe, or Capt Not Very Obvious?

    1. Dirty Harry I know what the CDC doesn’t mention is that there’s very few test done, if you’re not testing you’ll don’t ever will get more cases. I was just writing a Trump style comment. I’m glad that I don’t fear death because I’m most likely going to end up in the death statistic, 60+ combined with severe COPD 😏

  5. worried for my neighbors who like me have no transport to stores for things they will run out of during isolation, first thing to go money.

    1. Yeah, stock up so if you get sick you can take care of yourself and stay indoors. Find out who delivers what, keep some cash on hand, you can made masks if you can’t find them anywhere. You can add rubbing alcohol to packs of baby wipes which will absorb it, if the stores run out of hand sanitizers, like in Vancouver.

  6. It’s been a pandemic. Just because this guy didn’t say it was a pandemic, it’s been spreading worldwide for weeks now. 50 countries now I believe.

    1. @Playin4Keeps true and every year thousands die from influenza turning into pneumonia usually the elderly and very young people.
      But this is more serious it is like SARS, and there is no vaccine. And the same strain is going around very fast. So take care.

    2. It’s a pandemic in FEAR. Come on people, you should know the pattern by now. The filthy rich need these things to shake things up and become even richer.

  7. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. If Trump doesn’t say it I don’t believe it. It’s called sarcasm.

    1. You do know he would not go to press without clearing it with the administration …..right Genius?

  8. “The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.”

    ~ Maximilien Robespierre

    💥

    1. @TheDevilRejectsNone Do you even understand the meaning of irony ? You probably can’t even iron at all, and rely on momma to do it for you.

    2. @John Smith old ‘Robes’ was right though wasn’t he? Keeping the people ignorant is how tyranny rules.

  9. If our nation’s number one coronavirus expert tells us we’re heading for a pandemic I’ll take his word for it. Be prepared and pray that we didn’t have to do it.

  10. Pandemic: An outbreak must be 12 weeks old, have resulted in 250 deaths in its country of origin, and at least 20 deaths in a second country.
    COVID-19 has been a pandemic for quite awhile.

  11. I heard that Trump and his children are going to visit a virus victim.
    Woudn’t that be a nice surprice.

  12. “We’re not muzzling him, that would mean we don’t let him talk. We just disagree with what he says and report something different” – the current White House

  13. Trump to America “Say goodbye to grandma cause we won’t do anything to protect this nation”
