Think of this as me who constantly tells you to ***** yourself asking you to join me in unity and multiply it by every media member/organization he has shat upon.

 

It's going to take more than a ***** tweet

 

You're right: it's going to take people growing the ***** up and listening to the message, not dismissing it outright because of who is giving it.

Trump can gain a lot of ground by saying 3 things tonight

 

I was wrong

The virus is not a hoax

The virus is not the same as the flu

I think the majority of the country cares about learning more and doing what they can to help control this. I don’t think they really give a ***** about right vs. left.

I think so too. I bet you an Avatar, though, Trump talks ***** about a Democrat or tries to blame someone tonight

To be clear, I am not a physician and do not work in the ER.  I do cardiovascular research, 2 of the investigators in our group are ER docs.

 

No, I do not curtail my parents activities due to the flu, but I am now as this is different. This is not the flu virus where worst case you're looking at an extreme immune reaction with pneumonia and sepsis.  Covid-19 in the lungs will directly attack and possibly permanently damage your lung tissue.  If you survive, it will be a most painful experience.

 

I think a very important thing to mention is while you quote similarities to flu statistics, Covid-19 is just ramping up and is most likely more infectious than the flu.  So statistical comparisons at this point are truly not valid.

 

Covid-19 will undoubtedly be more infectious than the flu and probably more lethal also.  But we won't know until it's all said and done.

 

I understand where you're coming from with all the previous viruses, and they have helped prepare us for this one.  Isolation and quarantine was what stamped out all those others, especially SARS.

 

The most important problem here is that infected people can be asymptomatic and still spread it.  That is a big problem and why for the first time large events are being cancelled and people like Nunes are self-quarantining.

 

We have a novel virus with currently little way of fighting those with severe infections.  It's not about an apocalypse it's about limiting or slowing its spread to keep deaths to a minimum while medical science addresses the problem.  

 

Hiding?  I'll be steelhead fishing, hiking, running, working, doing as much as I can while limiting exposure to others.  But if I need to "hide" for two to three weeks to squash the spread of this virus?  Damn right I will and I pray you see the sense in that also.  It's the intelligent way to be in this case.

 

 

 

 

Great post man.

Agreed. The only one that shouldn’t have any worries right now is Nelson Algohor.

 

He can’t catch anything.

Trump: The to vast majority of Americans the risk is very very low.

 

All co payments waived for corona.

 

 

I wonder will the Left go with.........."not enough..............He's a dictator"  .......or "Too late"

Nothing wrong with disagreeing. You aren't a dumbass about it so civil discussion is possible.

Very good statement.

 

Brief, to the point

 

Serious tone.

 

Reviews actions already taken (to counter the spin out there)

 

Decisive proposals made.

 

Left politics out of it.

 

 

.

 

 

 

                I watched it on CBS.  After the speech they said the reason the sporting venue's and big meetings were not to have spectators was because there was not enough kits to test people.  What a bull#### company.  I wonder how the other stations handled it?

How long will this level headed Trump last? This is how he should always be instead of attacking everyone actually talk about the problem.

 

 

That is all I wanted was for him to take this seriously and he did. I hope he realizes he can do this for more than just 1 press conference.

He read a script, much like Monday’s presser. They need to take his phone away too.

Yes but it probably made Foxx and 3rdnlng angry to see him actually talk about the problem.

You just don't get it do you? You leftists love to actually try to pin what you do on others.
