Dow falls 1,191 points -- the most in history

They politicized it.
Did they call Obama out for his total incompetence in handling the H1N1 pandemic? :thinking:

Your boss should pay me for being your fact checker, leggiecrite. :laugh:

"In response to criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump’s handling of a recent outbreak of a new coronavirus, the PJ Media article opined that Obama had been lackadaisical about his response to a health emergency back in 2009, and that Trump by comparison had done his job admirably.

"On Feb. 28, 2020, the website PJ Media published an article claiming that U.S. President Barack Obama had waited until millions were infected and thousands were dead from swine flu, the H1N1 virus, before declaring a public health emergency in 2009. The article, which was presented as a “fact check,” got several simple details wrong. For instance, PJ media writes that H1N1 became a pandemic in April 2009. But that’s not the case. The disease emerged in April but wasn’t declared a pandemic until June.

The excerpt also claims that Obama “declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic” in October 2009. But this is also wrong. Obama declared a national emergency, not a public health emergency, in October 2009. The Obama administration declared a public health emergency in April, months before swine flu was declared a pandemic. At the time that the Obama administration declared a public health emergency, only 20 confirmed cases (not over a million) of H1N1 existed in the United States.

PJ Media also inaccurately presented a video in the article as if it showed Obama addressing the swine flu after it had “already become a pandemic.” Again, that simply isn’t the case. When Obama addressed the nation about swine flu, or H1N1, in April 2009, the disease was just starting to spread. It wouldn’t be until June 2009 that the swine flu would be declared a pandemic.

he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a detailed timeline of this pandemic on its website. It shows that the CDC first activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on April 22, 2009. At the time, there were only two confirmed cases in the United States. On April 25, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern, and the following day the Obama administration did the same. At that time, there were about 20 confirmed cases.

Despite the CDC’s efforts, the swine flu continued to spread. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of health and human services, renewed the emergency declaration on July 24, 2009, and then again on Oct. 1, 2009. On Oct. 24, 2009, Obama declared a national emergency that gave officials more resources to fight the pandemic."

At this point, six. The epidemic just started here and god willing, it'll be contained.

Exactly......contained, thanks to the security measures put into place by TRUMP at the southern border and the economic security of becoming energy independent from the Global Petro Cabal. In a nation of over 300 million there have been how many actually infected? As of the end of Feb. 60 infected...…….

The left has been fear mongering.....it failed once the people realized the US is in capable hands and a cure is guaranteed shortly. Personally I think China already has a vaccine due to the steep sudden decline in cases and the fact they are going back to work. :bigthink:
 
This is false equivalence. Nobody knows how many people in total die until an epidemic is over.

So the number of dead due to a similar virus.....does not matter? Enlighten us what is the difference between a dead flu victim and a dead (Wink, Wink) Coronavirus victim? :bigthink: Are you going to suggest the Coronavirus has a higher mortality rate even though both are existing in the same environment and are basically spread via similar means? Yeah the virus that has caused 6 deaths is more of threat than the virus that has caused over 10,000 deaths in the same time period? The facts point out the truth: The Flu virus is more easily spread than this supposed pandemic virus.

FYI: an epidemic is not constituted by fear but by the number of actual cases. The US is no where near to being in danger of an EPIDEMIC before a vaccine can be developed as per the examples of recent history. Once they get a handle on this bug....as they do the flu bug they can adjust to any mutation that might develop.

Whatever they are, they're assholes for allowing this virus to spread.

Their people have a penchant for eating unusual foods. This explains the phenomenon, and reveals how liberals are promoting the same practices in the west.

Watch the whole thing (8:07) and you'll see what I mean.

Yes, I know they eat some bazaar shit.
 
The eat some bizarre shit that they find in a bazaar.

Google "wet market" and you'll learn some pretty disgusting things.

You ever watch that TV show "River Monsters"? That fisherman goes to some strange places to fish and you see a few of those markets. I'm a carnivore, but that shit goes way too far!

Did you watch the video I posted?

He's likely just going to pretend that the upswing was because of something Obama did years ago.
