Lawmakers raise alarms over Trump coronavirus response

[Cinnabar]

Lawmakers in both parties on Tuesday expressed growing alarm that the threat of coronavirus in the United States is serious, and that the Trump administration is not doing enough to fight it.

Two Cabinet members at separate hearings were grilled over what lawmakers described as an insufficient response so far, while Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said the White House's budget request to handle the disease was lackluster.

"It seems to me at the outset that this request for the money, the supplemental, is lowballing it, possibly, and you can't afford to do that," Shelby told Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar during a hearing on the agency's budget request.

Trump also lied about the number of cases in the USA. The members of the GOP who allowed the POS to remain in office deserve to be the ones infected.

It's not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses," Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters. "Disruption to everyday life might be severe."

This is sociopathic to its core!

12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1

61,000 people died in the 2017-2018 flu season

Let us know when coronavirus is 25% of that!

That is a good perspective to have. OTOH we have vaccines for the "regular" influenza. We do not have one for COVID-19 yet.

I think that the media is feeding us a lot of fear. It's not panic time yet.
