    Default Trump on coronavirus: Everything is fine. Trump's health officials: It's not.

    This week, federal health officials warned Americans to prepare for the coronavirus to become a pandemic, stocks tumbled on fears of just how widespread the virus could get, and the White House sought $2.5 billion from Congress to fight the deadly infection.

    But in the telling of President Donald Trump, everything is fine.

    With his re-election clearly in focus — Trump spent last week on the West Coast hosting high-priced fundraisers and holding three political rallies — there is little incentive politically for him to echo the growing concerns of the global health community.

    Stocks fell sharply Tuesday for a second day in a row and bond yields tumbled on rising concern that the global economy will face a significant blow because of the spreading virus — despite attempts by the president's top economic adviser to argue otherwise.

    "We have contained this. I won't say airtight, but pretty close to airtight," Larry Kudlow said on CNBC on Tuesday.

    Health experts disagreed. “This is like trying to control the wind, we will see serious problems here in the United States and no amount of political rhetoric will over-trump the science of what we have here,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Was it you saying 2 weeks ago that it was just a cold and the regular flu kills more every year?

    I guess it's time Michael Osterholm (director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota) shuts up, gets off his ass and finds a cure for this virus.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    You could say he was wrong or a hypocrite if he said something along those lines but you can't diminish what's being posted with that. The sad fact is Trump cut funding to things that might have us more prepared if he didn't. I wasn't concerned about it and then my Mom said she just saw something on the news about a visitor coming through Wright Patterson Airforce Base being monitored for possibly having it. Since a family member works on base it is a bit concerning.

    This would be a great time to open the borders and relax travel restrictions to and from china and other places that are experiencing public health problems!

    The irony is if the lefties are so paranoid about it they should be screaming to close the southern border and basically shut down immigration—at least for the near term.

    But they want Trump to throw money at it lol.
