COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

[Monsters For Sale]

Don't trust Washington or any politician. It's bad. Look at how rapidly the virus has spread once its gotten a toe hold in any place.

Just ignore the empty stores, vacant plazas and guys running around in spacesuits - means nothing, nothing at all.

It's just entertainment.

A hearty helping of Cajun gumbo is my recipe for keeping viruses at bay!

Wash it down with a pint of whiskey, sanitize your hands, and you're set.

Trump just did a mini press briefing. He said he and his team are doing a "tremendous" job. He feels this is nowhere near as bad as the flu and things are being exaggerated by the "fake" news. Well, I sure feel safer now.

In fairness, and in no way a defense, what do you expect any President to say? "The government is incompetent, you're all screwed, fend for yourselves!" They have to put up a front to avoid panic. In reality, it isn't near as bad as the flu, yet anyway (up to 61,000 flu deaths annually in the US since 2010). That is a factual statement. Should they shut down all the borders? Should they stop all air travel? Should they issue a nationwide quarantine? What is the right answer? There is no right answer. There is a virus going around that cares not at all about Executive Orders, or statements or news articles or opinions.

Ours?  Nothing useful.

Wrong. I expect something counterproductive and destructive from the jackass- in-chief . He's only concerned about how it makes HIM look. He hasn't shown a single drop of human empathy his entire life. Screw him and his family of carnies and pickpockets. Sorry, i didn't mean to insult carnies and pickpockets. I'm sure some of them are good people.

Seriously? The entire country of Italy is closed down. I don't remember the flu causing that kind of reaction, in my lifetime. Switch off FOX NEWS, once in a while. It may just save your life.

Oh, please, just stop. I have never watched Fox News in my life. This is not coming from a Trump supporter and nothing I have written is remotely political. I'm pointing out facts. Italy made a decision. One that has caused a MASSIVE amount of mayhem and confusion among it's own people. I am objectively saying that there are a lot of things ANY President of the United States could do. WHich ones should they choose at this point in time? Are you suggesting that the President sign an executive order for a mandated quarantine of all 327 million people in the United States for a confirmed 961 cases of coronavirus? Of course that number will grow but I'm not entirely sure what you think he should do right now that you would possibly agree with. I am not defending the President, I just have no idea what people realistically expect the guy to do.

 The jackass dismantled the Pandemic Response Team in 2018. Why? To save a little money to give back to his already wealthy donors? When asked why he did that, he answered "Who could have predicted this?" Umm, the Pandemic Response Team. He talks about EVERYTHING in relation to his popularity or ratings. What a vain, pathetic old woman, he is. He wears tons more make-up and hair spray than most grandmothers. Pathetic. Oh, yeah, and he's an embarrassment to my country.

I think everybody has pretty much had their say about the Coronavirus. Let's move on to something else.
