    Don't forget that Trump only halted flights from China (to howls of leftist outrage). There was nothing to stop Chinese travelers from flying to Europe first and then hopping on a plane to the USA.

    Leftists don't believe their own politically-motivated pandemic panic propaganda.

    Fredo Cuomo broke quarantine to inspect his new mansion under construction and got caught, even though he was allegedly infected and hiding in his basement.

    The modeler who concocted the Imperial College doomsday scenario got caught allowing his married lover to visit him while he supposedly had the Chinese disease.

    If we are to believe him, he'll supposedly be staying inside until a vaccine is proven effective and no more people are dying. What do you think?

    Yep, Trump only stopped flights from China. And the Europeans didn't know it was already there. All this was happening before anyone knew how contagious the China virus was. It was already here, we were screwed. The liberals got their wish, didn't they?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I think he has never stayed inside, unless his mom locked him in.

    The number of people infected with the Chinese disease is meaningless, because it's a guess.

    It's not even a good guess.

    Due to the two week incubation period of the Chinese disease, a new test would have to be performed on every person at least every 14 days. Every person. Every 14 days.

    There aren’t enough tests to validate the statistics being reported in any country.

    There never have been enough tests to validate the statistics being reported in any country.

    There never will be enough tests to validate the statistics being reported in any country.

    Throw in the numbers of false positives and false negatives that occur with any test, and the statistics being reported are based on tiny sample sizes that are suspect for a variety of scientific reasons, including defective or contaminated testing kits, flawed laboratory procedures, human error, data corruption, and the impossibility of testing every man, women, and child every two weeks without fail and without error.

    The best we can do is estimate how many people are sick by guessing what percentage of the infected, recovered and deceased were tested.

    That's not science.

    It's guesswork.

    Math does not lie. More people died in 2018 during the first 4 months than have died thus far in 2020. What PLANNEDDEMIC? FYI: Remember when Fauci and the WHO was claiming this virus was nothing to be concerned about....all the way up to April.....the administration was over-reacting in stopping immigration from infected areas? Fauci was telling everyone to relax.....take an ocean cruise.....

    Bad memory? How THINK do you STUPID the people to be?

    He was using the numbers as an argument that COVID wasn't that bad. Then the numbers passed influenza, so he stopped used the numbers argument immediately.

    Or, he learned that the numbers were unreliable.

    2) The CDC has cut the official death count in half proving that they are lying about the data at the state level
    3) Most importantly, this thing is over. Don't let the scare mongers fool you. We have passed the point of this thing being a major issue. It can't reverse

    I hope you have enjoyed the updates. Maybe I will do them weekly. We will see

    Trump didn't stop flights from China...40,000 people came into the country, almost all of whom weren't screened because they switched planes once they got here.
