Just curious- what place would we be in?

He did not fire most of the people working on “something like this” in 2018. There was a restructuring. A couple people who were there then, and are still there now, have recently spoken out against these ridiculous claims. But I wouldn’t expect you to know that since you probably also think Trump called it all a hoax a month after he banned travel from China What were your thoughts on Obama, when a much less deadly virus killed over 12,000 Americans 10 years ago?

H1N1 wasn’t politicized by the main stream media. H1N1 didn’t involve having the main stream media putting the fear of God into people, creating overblown panic, resulting in a domino effect of government and businesses cratering and taking drastic measures.

I’m sorry. I assumed the people whining about every little detail done/not done while blaming Trump for everything regardless of outcome, were the ones whining.

When is trump going to start taking this seriously ????!!

Good leaders know enough to not stoke panic and fear. Would you rather he announced the apocalypse was imminent? You should get your remote control fixed. There are plenty of clips out there of CNN, MSNBC, etc. reporters making fun of both the social distancing plan and also making fun of Trump’s China travel ban.

What I don’t get is why isn’t the virus fully contained and everyone cured in all countries not headed by Trump? Also, North Dakotans are clearly not taking this seriously with the skyrocketing infection and death rates maintaining at 1 and 0.

Great post. Great examples given with FDR and Carter. I would add Obama and 12000 Americans dead from Swine Flu. It’s unfortunate that just 10 years later, one side has decided to make a serious health threat political.

You’re blaming trump for the extent of the outbreak, but I am the one being political. Lol. Do you remember all the fear mongering, panic, and political outrage during the swine flu epidemic that killed 12,000 Americans? Yeah, neither do I.

So to recap, Trump wasn't taking it seriously early enough, even though the media and democrats laughed at him for shutting off travel from China in early February. You say he didn't take it seriously until the stock market fell, which just happened; and btw it's currently not early February. Just out of curiosity I would genuinely like to know how do you, and others, perform the mental gymnastics required to believe the same people laughing at Trump for banning travel from China would've spent the remainder of February stocking our country full of test kits and everything else necessary to essentially prevent any outbreaks here in the U.S.?

I am not protecting the president. I’m separating the facts from your fiction. My only viewpoint is anyone who believes this is a serious, worldwide pandemic and is trying to make political hay out of the situation by second guessing everything, is pathetic.

I provided you with the facts of the ‘hoax’ situation. when proven wrong, instead of admitting you were misled and wrong, you just move the goal posts. Neither you or the president can admit when you’re wrong. The WHO and democrats admonished the president for shutting off travel from China on February 1st. It turned out to be an excellent decision. If the U.S. would’ve taken all those test kits, you would’ve complained orangemanbad took resources away from 3rd world countries that do not have the ability to manufacture their own test kits. This is Siouxsports, not a political site. If you want to continue spreading lies about hoaxes, and bitching and complaining about things you have no idea if they will make a difference, go ahead. Just don’t breathe on anyone.

I wonder what that guy sitting alone in Ward county thinks of all this.

Joe and Bernie will have it all figured out by then.

Spit it out, Doug.

He was referring to the media, who were accusing him of doing nothing to prepare for the corona virus. He called it their newest attempt to discredit him, aka their latest hoax. Listen to the entire clip of his statement sometime instead of the carefully edited videos from CNN. Or, just ask yourself, why would he order the first quarantine in 50 years when he ordered no travel from China on February 1st. And then, on February 28th, call the Corona virus a hoax? Hint: the timeline of the main stream media's ridiculous accusations make zero sense.

How about the black banner, illuminated from behind with a soft kelly green light/glow. You know, like a corona??

Nobody. Ever. Called it a hoax. If you can’t get past that simple fact, no wonder you can’t look at any of the work being done to fight corona objectively.

By putting politics aside, I assume you mean one side will quit blaming the other for a futuristic worst case scenario outcome of a crisis that has barely started, and the other side will not have to waste time defending it's prior decisions to armchair quarterbacks. I sure hope you are right. Although I have a hunch tonight at 7pm central on CNN you'll be proven wrong.

idk. it's possible in these crazy times.

this could end up being really tough on bison fans.

Probably when our confirmed cases double.

I’ve been hearing for about 3 years now that not allowing anyone into our country for any reason is extremely racist. So it’s clearly a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.
