No, because we don't have the tests.
Unfortunately we aren't in one of the countries that got ahead of this with aggressive testing.
I thought shelter in place orders is what got some countries ahead of it.

Haven't you heard Nancy runs the dem senate.
Right. I’m saying I don’t know why they let her run it. Chuck should grow a pair.

Dont forget mandatory diversity percentages for coporate board of directors.
One of the top 3 to 4 issues that need to be addressed in an economic meltdown.
Dont get high and mighty though... 100% the other side would be sliding their own bull$%!# in if roles were reversed.
It seemed like Mitch and Chuck were fairly close to a plan, but then today it appears the House through a monkey wrench in the whole thing. Not sure why Chuck Schumer allows himself to be lead around by Nancy.

Good to see the Senate is going to be part of this crisis solution.
Wind and solar energy tax credits, along with tougher airline emissions were attached to the stimulus bill, among other things. Unbelievable.

Both Grand Cities and Columbia Mall in GF remain open.
I wonder if after the first reported case in Grand Forks, the malls will close?

Well, the good news is, I stopped referring my illness from last week as the "Chinese Virus" and here we are on Monday morning and I'm feeling 100% better!
We’re glad to hear you’re better. Especially with you being just 4 years shy of elderly...

There's nothing in the Hannity segment under consideration to support your contention, as any objective observer can see. Indeed, the context of the discussion is whether the threat of the virus is exaggerated. There's zero content at all concerning whether Trump called the virus a hoax. Hannity explicitly refers to the virus itself as a hoax.
It's a 51 second clip, and Hannity references the media's hysteria at the beginning of his comments, and wraps it up with similar comments about the media's hysteria. And, as mentioned here a million times, Trump referred to the media's reporting regarding the virus, as their latest hoax against him. I'm sorry you cannot see the connection.

Take a look at the second video. Hannity is not talking about what Trump said.
Yes, he is. Trump was referring to the media hysteria over the coronavirus. So was Hannity.
In that clip you refer to, Hannity starts by saying he doesn’t like the way the mainstream media is deliberately trying to scare people. He then laid out the info available at the time regarding the age and type of people most vulnerable to the coronavirus, and what percentage of those infected (1%)might die. He then followed those stats with his comment about yeah, so let’s scare the living hell out of people with this new hoax.
The ‘hoax’ he refers to is not the virus. The ‘hoax’ is the treatment of the virus by the media because of who is in office.

I can only imagine southpaw’s reaction to Trump declaring Martial Law back in early February...
Joe Biden would've immediately called a press conference announcing he is completely against Martian Law, saying "Look fat, look, no way should another planet write our laws, Jack!"

#fakenews
politidope. lol how appropriate, since this guy still believes Trump called the Corona virus a hoax.
Clearly Trump tried to downplay the virus in the hopes of quelling fear and panic, while at the same time taking measures to protect the U.S.
His hopefulness turned out to be wrong. He often looks like a buffoon in his press briefings with his exaggerations. It's unfortunate the virus went deliberately unannounced by China, as thousands of people fled Wuhan China and spread the virus around the world. I don't know why Trump didn't put a stop to that. #orangemanbad.

"President Trump gets his share of criticism — some warranted, much not. But recently the president’s critics have chosen curious ground to question his response
to the coronavirus outbreak since it began spreading from Wuhan, China, in December.It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious."
"It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction. Defense secretary Robert Gates, congressional oversight committees and members of the Obama administration itself all agreed the NSC was too large and too operationally focused (a departure from its traditional role coordinating executive branch activity). As The Post reported in 2015, from the Clinton administration to the Obama administration’s second term, the NSC’s staff “had quadrupled in size, to nearly 400 people.” That is why Trump began streamlining the NSC staff in 2017."
"One such move at the NSC was to create the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense. It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled."
"The NSC is really the only place in government where there is a staff that ensures the commander in chief gets all the options he needs to make a decision, and then makes sure that decision is actually implemented. I worry that further reductions at the NSC could impair its capabilities, but the current staffing level is fully up to the job."
"You might ask: Why does all this matter? Won’t it just be a historical footnote?
It matters because when people play politics in the middle of a crisis, we are all less safe.
We are less safe because public servants are distracted when they are dragged into politics.
We’re less safe because the American people have been recklessly scared into doubting the competence of their government to help keep them safe, secure and healthy."There you go, spreading the truth again. You realize that’s not allowed on CNN though, right?

Wrong again. Hannity was referring to the "new hoax" Trump described in his rally speech in South Carolina I believe it was, at the end of February. You know, the one we've been talking about on here ad nauseum where the left spun Trump's words, and claimed he called the corona virus itself, a hoax.
Thanks for posting; this article is yet another perfect example of the left spinning a story, and then spinning comments made about that story. Hopefully some start to see the light; although I doubt it.

No. Sean Hannity called the coronavirus a hoax a short time ago. Now he is claiming he never called it a hoax. That type of reversal epitomizes side show. Those of you that parroted Fox News, which called the pandemic an attempt by the so called liberal media to impeach Trump, need to hang your heads in shame.
Well, he's been impeached for a lot less. I had not heard that, but it sounds like something that side would do.
I have no idea what Sean Hannity said; I haven't caught his show for a few months. All I know is Trump never called it a hoax. Sadly, half the country continues to think he did thanks to the nonstop spin effort from the left.

I'm glad those flights were stopped. With the right pandemic response team in place, perhaps they would have even been stopped sooner? We'll never know. Red flags were going up inside our intelligence community about this virus long before there was a significant response from the executive branch conveying the seriousness of the situation.
I don't think everything Trump has done in response to the pandemic has been wrong. I disagree with a lot of it - in particular his early messaging of "it's just the flu" "15 cases, zero soon", "keep them on the boat, I like the numbers where they are". This also allowed Fox News to spread similar and dangerous messages that misinformed many of the elderly/compromised that needed to hear the truth sooner.
If he would take a back seat to medical professionals re: messaging and stay in the back room working on the stimulus package and getting ventilator/mask/Rx/etc production ramped up to "wartime" levels, I'd give him a high five when this is all done and be glad we made it through.
The ending script that will be your Bible has already been written, with one of two outcomes.
#1. Through a combo of medicine and policy, the virus is contained quickly with very few lives lost. The stories written will say Trump did everything wrong; thankfully we got lucky.
#2. The virus persists and is tough to contain, resulting in a significant loss of life and crippling of the economy. The stories written will say everything Trump did was wrong.

Restricting travel from abroad was an appropriate move. But if there is any evidence that it would ever do anything other than temporarily delay the exponential rise in covid19 cases I have yet to see it. The issue of international travel restictions by all appearances is not much more than a side show.
The side show is CNN having Sean Penn interviewed for his expert advice on fighting global viral pandemics.

Hold up for a second...these moves were called xenophobic by Joe Biden, Democrats, and the news media...now you’re suggesting that it’s Trump’s fault because the “right” team would have resulted in the flights being stopped even SOONER?
My head is literally whirling from the left wing spin cycle...
There's no way to reason with some folks. Just remember, these are the same people who still think Trump referred to the coronavirus pandemic as a hoax. It's hard to drive home a point with people who refuse to acknowledge the actual facts.

Are you insinuating that over the course of this pandemic, many people that previously got their news from CNN/MSNBC/etc have switched over to Fox News? Do you have a single link or fact to back up the conclusion of your first paragraph, or are you just making things up? Throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks fella, just like the guy in charge. Nice.
Oh, the irony of your last sentence.

In addition to the previously noted H1N1 sources, here's a sample of Fox News' coverage of Ebola compared to Covid-19. Fox is by far the most watched news outlet in the country. It sits directly on top of the steaming pile that is American MSM.
Is Trump treated fairly? Not at all. But, again, it comes with the territory.
I like the one where “positive coverage of Obama slips to 43%”. Trump has been at about 7%. Which of course includes all the lies and hoaxes made up about him and the administration.
I noticed none of those articles about the swine flu mentioned the world was going to end because Obama totally focked it up before it even started.
The blame for the overreaction and panic we are dealing with today sits squarely on the shoulders of the main stream media. Perhaps that’s why Trump went off on Peter Alexander when Peter started with his question.
I don’t agree with trump doing that, but with all the lies from the media he has to constantly deal with, I can understand why he has no time for them, and why he doesn’t really care what he says to them because he knows they will convolute and twist his statements anyway.

I have no beef with how Trump has managed this. Is he a blowhard- yep. But I’m not sure what actions I would’ve had him do earlier. You didn’t want to jump to this, because you knew the fallout would be terrible.
we don’t have people dying in the streets. It’s being managed as best as I would hope at the time being.
perfectly stated.

Nah, Dr. Fauci is likely tired of Trump's petulance and the circus atmosphere.
Most grown adults roll their eyes at things that resemble a WWE event; which is what most of what Trump touches devolves into. His recent press conferences = ¼ information for the public, ½ Trump ceaselessly praising himself, ¼ bickering with the media.
Then again, I can understand why his hardened-supporters would find that attractive. It’s not exactly Hulk Hogan off the top rope, but it’s the next best thing I suppose.
I agree, it's always a circus atmosphere. And his narcissism makes everyone cringe. Most grown adults also realize the media inaccurately reports on this administration constantly in an effort to make him look bad. If a bunch of jackasses twisted my words in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, still writing columns 19 days after misrepresenting a statement I made by claiming I called it a hoax and wasn't doing a damn thing about it, I would tell them to pound sand, too. So would you.
Btw I've asked this about 4 times in this thread but no one ever answers it; When you claim all presidents have to deal with this type of back and forth, can you point me to any links where the main stream media was calling out Obama before, during, or after over 12000 Americans died of the swine flu? Did anyone/everyone falsely claim he called it a hoax?

Feels hydroxychloroquine for treatment vs this virus is a version of snake oil but has no issues locking us down as a country until Labor Day so 20-30% of the country can become street entertainers or windshield washers to try to earn a buck once a deep recession or depression takes hold.
No kidding! Ruin the country economically, no brainer. But we can’t take the chance a 98 year old on a ventilator has an adverse reaction
