    1. The man is the most ridiculous buffoon i have ever witnessed period. It is literally very hard to believe. How could anyone be that stupid? Here is the deal. A lot of people are stupid. They will believe things that aren’t true. Google “placebo effect” you will see that beliefs, reality, are very malleable in people’s minds. Chaos and misinformation are tactics in authoritarianism. We have a president who is being mentored by an authoritarian oligarchy that he is compromised by. The Russian likely have evidence of dirty rubles changing hands with Donald’s name all over it. There is reality manipulation going on here with Fox news and the GOP media echo chamber. The USA is in trouble.

    2. @Ann Marie Boucher I mean look whos still talking about “russian spies”
      Your the troubl with america.

    1. Trump wouldn’t have paid attention anyway.  There has been a pattern of Trump’s obsession with polls, Fox news and golfing trips to Mar Largo.  His administration can’t seem to break that barrier and if they do they get berated insulted, fired, blown up at etc and they are throwing up their hands in frustration.

    2. And, if he had sold stocks, what of it? He wrote a memo directly to the WH describing the probability of the pandemic heading this way and its global economic repercussions. If he’s an economist worth his salt, I hope he sold a lot of stocks and faired well, phukn cynic.

  1. Oh come on of course he saw it and the ones next to him also!! Plus it’s his admnstn’s job to bring this EXTREMELY dangerous WARNINGS!!

  2. We need to let the virus run its course, this is natures way of reducing carbon footprint, People kind it is cancer upon the earth.

    1. Doesn’t matter if you believe or not. Something beyond us is. The earth for atheist God for believer’s.
      No Mans in control

  3. WHO sounded the RED ALERT several times as noted on their website. Everyone who wanted this info had access to it. Memo on the 29th is 27 days late. Yikes. Best way is to follow the money as to who knew and when they knew it.

    1. @Bright Flash

      You still don’t get it. We aren’t done counting bodies. 200,000 is 120,000 more than 80,000. If this were 500 people a week instead of 4000 we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

    2. The Great Owl  You are so uninformed . By virtue of your post you show yourself to be utterly naïve . It is you who doesn’t get it . There isn’t going to be 200,000 deaths in the U.S. You are one of those people who actually believes what they hear on the news . Wake up !  Do some research !

    3. @Bright Flash

      I have. I have been tracking my own model for this since February. Minimum 200k.

    4. @Bright Flash

      Or by “do some reason” you mean “listen to Alex Jones”? By “wake up” do you mean “deny reality”?

    5. The Great Owl  –  I don’t count on any media outlet for my information . I do my own research . If you want to believe that 200,000 people are going to die then by all means go right ahead . If you think your ” tracking model ” is accurate then go with it . I would suggest , however , that you do some actual research . As it is now , you’re just looking naïve .

      I agree that Trump is probably the GREATEST Living man in World History and the Future of World History and Universe and other Universes and Dimensions and Realities….😉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Don’t confuse the false equivalency trolls. They always have some comment, “but (fill in Democrat’s name) did blah, blah, blah.”

  4. The VAST MAJORITY of republicans LOVE trump. Think about that. These people are walking AMONG us.

    1. 45th U.S. President Trump Leviticus 18:22 the Evangelical Church Sin Messiah Rev 13:1 the Trump Devil Rev 20:10.

  5. It was talked about enough for people to start selling stocks. They knew, they sold stock to saved their money.

    1. @damien neimad so him saying “when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero” wasn’t a load of bullshit? “Close to zero” and here we are over 40 days later still waiting for “Close to zero”.

      I ALMOST voted for Trump because I couldn’t stand Hillary Clinton. I was worried his no political experience would hurt us and he’s boggled this from the start.

    2. Major Smith
      I almost forgot back in January the Democrats were upset people might start avoiding Chinese restaurants. Now they criticize Trump for not shutting down all restaurants. Nothing like arguing both sides, and CNN viewers have no clue

  6. The news of the pandemic in January was to warn rich people that they may be financially impacted. It wasn’t for the populous to get ready for it. Thats why ALOT of stock got sold before the public found out. The public needed to hold on to their shares so the value stayed up before the sale.

    1. My favorite pedophile fascist racist host at CNN is absolutely Frodo Stinky Finger Lemon.
      Although I must admit, that Fredo the child rapist KKK is on a close second.

  7. Sad that everything has turned into a money-making scheme even people’s lives, 1000’s of lives could be saved of not for the greedy politicians! 🙁

    1. @generationofswine you’re crazy. Leftists called trump xenophobic for banning g travel from china jan 31st. Nancy Pelosi saying don’t worry go out to china town celebrate chinese new year’s? And the mayor of New York? Sounds like those lefties took it serious right? Or they said his travel ban won’t actually do anything

    2. Ya it’s sad how cnn noticed ratings go up when they talk about trump so that’s all they talk about, because it’s all about money. Like how cnn was showing videos of italy saying it was New York . To bad all the polls show most americans trust trump more than media. Most americans think he is doing a good job with coronavirus. And his approval is the highest it has ever been.

    3. @generationofswine you are so uniformed it actually hurts. He did not cut funding for CDC. He created the cornavirus task force. Obama was warned many times to replenish n95 masks and other supplies after h1n1 and never did. He acted well before Canada and many other countries I mean Britain just locked down their country 2 weeks ago.
