    Am I misreading some of this, or do a lot of people hope Trump gets the virus? It just seems that way with some of the posts and even a thread predicting when. I don't understand why you would wish the president gets it, even if you don't like him?

    You’re not mis reading. And yes apparently it’s ok. But only for the current administration. Going forward it won’t be ok.

    Well this has gotten wayyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger than I thought it would.

    Anyone know where you can pull real numbers from?  That Hopkins site was sketchy for me.



    There are no accurate figures for cases in the U.S. yet because we've only tested a fraction of the population that should have been tested.  Now that test kits are becoming readily available, we'll know within the next couple of days.  Buckle up once the real numbers are revealed...
    I read yesterday, I forget where, that you will only be tested if you have the various symptoms AND have been in contact with a person who tested positive OR traveled out of the country.
    That covers 0% of those infected through community spread.

    Well, there aren't enough test kits anyway, so it's almost irrelevant that the testing guidelines are incorrect for the circumstances. 


    Wait?????


    What?????

    VP Pence assured us 3 days ago we'd  have 4 million test kits THIS WEEK.

    Yeah I think you’re misreading this. He was dismissing the virus as no big deal just two weeks ago, he’s been consorting with people that have tested positive, yet he’s stated that he doesn’t need to be tested. So while I don’t want him to get the virus, if he does get it, he brought it on himself. And it’ll be a real eye-opener for people that think he’s actually a competent leader and president.

    I couldn't find the answer online. Anyone know if countries south of the equator that have this, are those cases spreading the the community, or were they people who traveled and brought it back?
    I ask because I assume if it is spreading there, then that probably means warm weather will not slow it down. I only thought of this after reading about Tom Hanks and that he contracted it while in Australia.

    You're asking people to have compassion and caring towards a narcissistic, non-empathetic, fact avoidant bully who has bungled the US response to a virus that will result, and has resulted, in the death of many. Good luck! I'm not sure why this is a surprise to some. Go ahead and try to spin this however you want.

    Read that mythbusters link from WHO. There is no validity to the claim warm weather and humid climates will kill the virus.

    I didn't ask for compassion. I just think it is twisted to wish this virus on anyone, including him. Wishing it on him will just help spread it more, right? He comes in contact with world leaders. Wish that all his businesses go bankrupt (again) due to lack of spending or something, but why wish this virus on him? Seems like you're just wishing to make it worse if you do.

      look to the SARS and MERS responses as to how containment occured.

    This IS NOT LIKE SEASONAL FLU, which btw HAS a vaccine. COVID-19 is a long way away from one...

    Yeah, I see what you're saying. He should definitely have it based on his attitude about it. Him and Rudy Gobert must be the most careless idiots out there when it comes to this virus.

    Except no one asked for compassion. Just doesn't make since to wish this to spread more. I'd like to get it under control, even if that means sparing Trump. Just my opnion.

    Well said. I don't want to see Trump or anyone else get sick, but I have no patience for this almost pathological need to shield him from any blame or culpability for the severity of the situation we are now in. No, it is not his fault. Yes, he did make it worse.

    would be willing to buy her groceries.
    I bought the groceries and placed them in her trunk, and gave her back the change. She told me she had been sitting in the car for nearly 45 min before I had arrived, waiting to ask the right person for help.
    I know it’s a time of hysteria and nerves, but offer to help anyone you can. Not everyone has people to turn to.

    Send them all to Rudy Gobert's place for some fun and fresh air abound! Our government is a mess. Even during a crisis they aren't able to put the petty bullshit aside and do what it takes to ensure there is some sort of plan in place to stop the bleeding.

    Yea, Team Trump Treason deserves no blame nor scorn. In fact, he should be overwhelmingly re-elected. So much winning and all. And because this is what real leadership looks and acts like.

    Jan. 29: “Just received a briefing on the Coronavirus in China from all of our GREAT agencies, who are also working closely with China. We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments. We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!”

    Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

    Feb. 25: “You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are … getting better. They’re all getting better. … As far as what we’re doing with the new virus, I think that we’re doing a great job.”

    Feb. 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world.”

    Feb. 28: “I think it’s really going well. We did something very fortunate: we closed up to certain areas of the world very, very early — far earlier than we were supposed to. I took a lot of heat for doing it. It turned out to be the right move, and we only have 15 people and they are getting better, and hopefully they’re all better. There’s one who is quite sick, but maybe he’s gonna be fine. … We’re prepared for the worst, but we think we’re going to be very fortunate."

    March 6: “We did an interview on Fox last night, a town hall. I think it was very good. And I said, ‘Calm. You have to be calm. It’ll go away.' ”

    March 7: “It came out of China, and we heard about it. And made a good move: We closed it down; we stopped it. Otherwise — the head of CDC said last night that you would have thousands of more problems if we didn’t shut it down very early. That was a very early shutdown, which is something we got right."

    March 9: “The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, ‘The risk is low to the average American.’ ”

    March 10: “And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

    March 12: “It’s going to go away. ... The United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point … when you look at the kind of numbers that you’re seeing coming out of other countries, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it.”
