    According to New York Times reporter Annie Karni, sources are telling her that the biggest concern Trump has is more about the markets than the deaths of Americans from the virus.

    He did not choose wisely with Pence, a science-denying religious nut. Trump started off badly. He also spent 3 years gutting the budgets of the CDC and HHS. His beginning will be bringing them up to the level that Obama had them . Obama increased the CDC budget.

    Washington Post....

    In recent days, Trump has devoted the majority of his public statements to slamming Democrats or complaining about the criminal justice system, only recently pivoting to the coronavirus. He has sought to repeatedly downplay the potential impact will be on the United States. Privately, Trump has become furious about the stock market’s slide, according to two people familiar with the president’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal details

    Slamming his political opponents is Trump's forte.

    Apparently he has been 'pissed' since he left India...

    As Trump left India to return to Washington earlier this week, the President was furious at seeing the markets tank in response to the spread of the coronavirus — and the warning by his own Centers for Disease Control that Americans should brace themselves.


    So on Wednesday, Trump decided to get ahead of the story, calling a rare primetime press conference in the White House Briefing Room. His staff scrambled to put it together. “He was pissed over in India” and felt like his administration was “getting killed” in the press and by the markets about its handling of the coronavirus, says a White House official.

    Trump will blow coronavirus response by reacting like ‘a guy on a bar stool’: WSJ columnist



    Published
    7 mins ago on
    February 27, 2020
    By Brad Reed



    Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger argues that President Donald Trump’s response to a potential coronavirus pandemic could expose some real political weaknesses in the coming months.

    In particular, he writes that the president’s erratic temperament and habit for sending out crazed tweets are going to wear very thin at a time when the virus is causing the stock market to crash and raising major public health concerns.

    “If the virus expands in the U.S., both the content and the quality of the response will be on President Trump,” he writes. “As such, the coronavirus could be the issue on which Mr. Trump finally blows himself up with Twitter.”

    Henninger fears that Trump’s lack of impulse control will make it all too easy for political opponents to “goad Mr. Trump into a low-grade Twitter spat, which will look as if he thinks the coronavirus is about him, not the American people.”

    The biggest question, he writes, is whether Trump can “manage the coronavirus
    in a way that doesn’t sound like a guy on a bar stool.”

    It's the ONLY arrow in his quiver. Which is why he goes back and back and back to it.

    The left and media have been drinking the moronicide pond scum again. They didn't listen to the
    presser yesterday with the team of medical and science folks handling this situation.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    from The ATLANTIC, 9 days ago! PRESCIENT...

    POLITICS
    The Coronavirus Outbreak Could Bring Out the Worst in Trump

    Virology isn’t politics.

    PETER NICHOLASFEBRUARY 18, 2020
    NICHOLAS KAMM / GETT
    When a senior White House aide would brief President Donald Trump in 2018 about an Ebola-virus outbreak in central Africa, it was plainly evident that hardships roiling a far-flung part of the world didn’t command his attention. He was zoning out. “It was like talking to a wall,” a person familiar with the matter told me.

    Now a new coronavirus that originated in China is confronting him with a potential pandemic, a problem that Trump seems ill-prepared to meet. A crisis that is heading into its third month could draw out every personal and managerial failing that the president has shown to this point. Much of what he’s said publicly about the virus has been wrong, a consequence of downplaying any troubles on his watch. He has long stoked fears that foreigners entering the United States bring disease. Now he may double down on xenophobic suspicions. He has hollowed out federal agencies and belittled expertise, prioritizing instead his own intuition and the demands of his political base. But he’ll need to rely on a bureaucracy he’s maligned to stop the virus’s spread.

    “We have a president who doesn’t particularly care about competent administration, and who created a culture in which bad news is shut down,” says Democratic Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii, whose state is home to one of multiple airports screening passengers for the coronavirus. “And when you’re dealing with a potential pandemic, you need to know all the bad news. If this disease ends up not overwhelming us, that would be a blessing. But it would not be because the Trump administration was ready. They were not.”

    From the first, Trump has offered false reassurance. In a CNBC interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month, Trump maintained that the coronavirus was “totally under control” and that he wasn’t concerned about the risk of a pandemic. “It’s going to be just fine,” he said.

    Except that it wasn’t under control—it still isn’t—and no one knows just how bad it will be. “Even a middle schooler wouldn’t have said that,” Michael Mina, an epidemiology professor at Harvard’s School of Public Health, told me. “Everyone is using caution in how we’re framing what the risk is, primarily because we don’t understand what the risk is at this moment. The last thing anyone would say is, ‘We’re not concerned.’ Everyone is concerned.”

    Read: The new coronavirus is a truly modern epidemic

    Since Trump’s first upbeat assessment, the number of people sickened by the virus has spiraled. At the time of the CNBC interview, 17 people in China had died from the virus and about 540 were infected. Today, the death toll is about 1,900 and the number of infections tops 73,000. At least 15 cases have been reported in the U.S., and an additional 14 Americans infected with the virus arrived yesterday following their evacuation from a cruise ship in Japan.

    no he didn't. he contradicted one person the Rosenweasel woman who said a pandemic is "inevitable"
    Trump said "nothing is inevitable" ( the contradiction )

    The new coronavirus is similar...and of concern... to SARS and MERS (also coronaviruses). Definitely made everyone sit up and take notice at first... but neither took over and ended the world....
    Relax and wash your hands....
