I think China covered it up for a while which allowed many infected or exposed people to spread it elsewhere

Along with the lack of sufficient testing kits nationwide, this here is a huge ******* problem. Not sure what the Pence task force & the federal government is doing, but it seems clear what they're not doing.

For those of you bored with singing the full verses of Happy Birthday for the duration of your morning hand-washing, here's an alternative:
I like the Faith no more version. I'll sing that one.

Those of you who go to the gym wipe all handles before and after you use them. Most handles with dumbbells being the worst have 20 times the bacteria of a public restroom toilet seat. The main reason is people damn near never wipe the handles and a lot of folks don't wash their hands.
.....This has been a public service announcement...

Truth. I stopped going to the gym in 2013 in anticipation of this event. Those who called me lazy and said I was just avoiding working out ... who's the genius now, huh???

Sequoia calls Covid-19 "the black swan of 2020." It predicts a severe economic shock will strike the global economy, advising firms in its portfolio to prepare for the worst; "We suggest you question every assumption about your business."

Politicizing this AGAIN. This is Pence and Trump's fault...something you've been claiming about every single thing since 2016.
Yet you gloss over the facts I hit you with previously.
H1N1 hit our country. It was a pandemic. 10,000 died before The Great Orator, Bath House Bammy, took to a microphone and declared a state of emergency. Nary a Liberal, you included, batted an eye. It was "oh well just another day."
18,000 have died this year of the flu.
Trump shut down the borders and has had the CDC engaged on this for months.
Some ******* walks through customs from Italy and isn't asked a question and by God you're here to blame Trump.
We are stunned.
Last week a medical worker in NH, who knew he had the virus, intentionally went to a medical conference. NH is a Liberal state but...TRUMP MADE HIM DO IT!
Denver Councilwoman suggests those infected go to Trump rallies. TRUMP MADE HER DO IT!
Such tired, old political spin.

Tim, he will never respond to ANYONE who points out his hypocritical BS. He is intellectually dishonest and doesn't care one iota about how it looks. He's a ******* shill for the liberal party and that's all he'll ever be.

Let me pull a page out of the Tim handbook... False equivalence! Neither the flu nor the swine flu had the mortality rate that the Corona virus currently has.

When the reported deaths start happening to non-elderly, non-immuno-compromised, perfectly healthy adults on a mass scale -- then I'll be alarmed.

The rate of diagnosis will expand greatly with more testing drastically lowering the rate. Flu is a false comparison because we have treatments and vaccines or else it would be a similar rate.

I'm not comparing the viruses. I'm comparing the reactions and hysteria to each. SO FAR the flu strains have been far more deadly than COVID-19. The reactions to COVID-19 has been exponentially greater than that to the flu which kills more.
Your President has reacted sooner than other political leaders chose to to deadlier situations.

Listen, you sopping wet vaginas. Who's job is it - do you think - to order nationwide screening at US airports of incoming passengers from COVID-19 hotspots, like Milan ******* Italy? Take a wild guess.
Who's responsible for that? Hillary Clinton? Obama? George Soros? Saul Alinsky? Antifa? The MSM? Adam Schiff? Hollywood? Coastal elites? The EU?
Amazing how you become shriveled-up, tiny nutsacks the second Trump and this administration is called upon to simply do their jobs.
