    Huh?

    I DISAGREE Completely.

    And, insinuating that ANY of your Fellow PF Board Members may be "bored trolls" is not only insulting but it just isn't a good look.

    My suggestion would be to save that sort of vitriol for others.
    However, in any event, it isn't a good look to be referring to those that you may disagree with (at PF) as "bored trolls".

    ^Nothing personal of course, just some friendly advice.

    As far as the general concerns raised by the OP Topic:

    Trumps "Response" (so far) seems to be woefully inadequate.

    That said, I am sure that everyone would agree that we all hope that the Virus is contained as quickly as possible and that it has a minimal effect on Public Health in the USA.

    Best of luck to all of those working to eradicate the virus.:flagus:

    You know there is desperation when Trump people resort to quoting Aljazeera. I read both articles and found nothing to suggest your conclusion. So who has hair on fire?

    Funny how all this anti Trump whistle blower crap has a connection to Shiff, Pelosy, Newsome and the left coast of California. So we have people who may have the corona virus in quarantine to stem the flow of it spreading. To the left this is a bad thing. The heavy weighted Democrat personal of the CDC who are suppose to be like health Gods having dealt with E-boli , Aids, and other types of pandemics in the past sent people unprepared to meet this woman. I can see where the Dems would consider this an outrage. If they would have just let the state of California handle it they could have supplied this person with a shopping cart and make shift tent and found her a nice spot in the homeless community of San Francisco or LA. Then again we may just see how the Dems are going to handle the predicted upcoming pandemic of the plaque, caused by the rats, that are living in the now existing homeless camps. You know T I would be willing to bet that more people died in your neighborhood last night than died from the corona virus in the USA yesterday. Are you mad because the lady was isolated or mad because the health care team was so dumb not to take precautions to protect themselves? Sounds like another Dem trying to capitalize and get herself a big payday over a overblown crisis.

    It’s sad how the dems have taken a tragic illness and played politics with it.

    I git how this " fool " bidness works.Over 63 Million American
    Citizens then are also " fools ". Plus the Entire Republican Senate
    minus Mitt Romney.Mueller's Report is proved to be much about nothing.
    A Fool's errand.As was the House Democrat Lie that Impeachment must
    be a Non-partisan exercise.The Lie being spread for years that there is
    No Imminent Crisis at the Border.Until it was proved there was.
    In which Trump did as promised and got that border wall built and
    managed despite constant Democrat opposition to secure our border.
    Plus improve the Middle East which under Obama's and Hillary's watch
    was a virtual tinderbox.
    Our Economy is finally strong and no longer stagnant and sluggish as
    under Obama.Middle Class pay is Up around $ 5,ooo a year.
    Under Obama is was Down around $ 4,500.For the first time in
    Modern American History,under Obama's 2nd term the Middle Class
    Fell Into DECLINE.According to the census.
    Therefore :
    " If a fool would persist in his folly he
    would become wise. " -- William Blake

    You are attempting to minimize the risk of the coronavirus by comparing it to something which has been in the country for decades when the coronavirus was only just discovered at the beginning of december.

    Did you notice how trump has been very light on his criticisms of China, the "lesser nation" as you put it?

    It's because he cares more about the tentative phase one of his trade deal than your health.

    DoW futures turned from positive to negative while he was giving his "very reassuring" press conference explicitly because he failed to instill confidence.

    But I get it, you feel justified in giving trump credit for all good things and blaming everyone not named trump for all bad things.

    It goes hand in hand with the blind worship.

    There was a Democratic debate on Tuesday where the candidates were explicitly asked for their own plans.

    But a short list would include: Do not directly contradict your health experts, dont blame the political opponent for the stock market crashing, appoint someone with a good track record of handling health crisis, increase funding to the relevant fields.

    And when trump takes a tragic illness and played politics with it, then he was doing the most appropriate thing.

    Your posts exhibit the strangest logic disconnect. Somehow it's ok for the Democrats to be rooting for the coronavirus to cause the most death and damage possible so they can blame Trump, but it's reprehensible for someone to mention that?

    But then, based on your inability to understand how different people/factors can effect the financial markets, I shouldn't have expected too much anyhow. It's probably time for you to go back on ignore for wasting my time.

    Just discovered at the beginning of Dec, 2019. So this flu or virus is only 90 days old and yet you Debbie Downers are all blaming Trump because some lady wasn't smart enough to take the necessary steps to protect herself. We are all responsible for our own actions. When someone asks me to do something illegal or inappropriate like signing a report that I have nothing to do with, so that it can pass some inspection or deadline, I refuse and tell them if they want it signed or backdated to do it themselves. Some may think I'm not a team player but I am responsible for my own actions. If I get hurt on the job because I didn't follow proper procedures then it is on me if I knew what was the correct regulation stated. Apparently the whistle blower knew what was suppose to have been done but did not take the responsibility to protect herself. Dumb, Dumb, Dem.

    Based on past behavior, the Democrats will clearly stop at nothing to destroy Trump.

    Do not directly contradict your health experts. Seems to me that the administration did exactly the right thing by freezing and limiting travel from countries where the virus had spread starting in January. The first death outside of China was not until Jan 31, 2020. Prior to that time no-one had a good handle how bad this virus would be. Even now there is not surety that it is a flu. Is it animal related or did it come out of a laboratory in China. In the past we just monitored these things like swine flu, sars, e-bola etc. How many have died in the USA? Zero so far. Thank Trump for that.

    The lady from the CDC that told the press how she had told her kids that it was inevitable that this virus was coming to the USA was the major factor that caused the markets to sell off. Her reckless comments, even if true, caused fear and panic in the general population. It is the Presidents duty to try and stem fear and speculation. She may be right but Trump also may be right. Like he said "let's wait and see". What would have been the reaction if Trump said "oh yeah thousands of your neighbors are going to die because it's inevitable" ?

    There are doctors and experts in the CDC who have worked in the past on some major health crises. There are also a lot of logistics and co-ordination that has to be done and sometimes it's better to let the doctors do their thing and let others implement their recommendations and keep track of data from all sources. We have had other so called Czars in the past. Some good and some bad.

    Funding, I feel, is the real gist of all the complaints. Let us blow this crisis out of proportion so we can demand more money. 2.5 billion dollar's may not be enough but it is a start and now it looks like it will be 4 billion because there was money left over from the e-bola crisis. Like Trump said " if more is needed that he's sure it can be gotten".

    So here is another post by you that slams Trump without the real facts. Do you work for Adam Shiff?
