It's no longer 'a question of if...but when' the coronavirus will spread in the US, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials said on Tuesday as they told parents to prepare their children for the possibility of school closures. The CDC said Americans may need to prepare for 'tele-schooling' should the virus continue to spread throughout the US. And although the threat is currently low, Dr Nancy Messonier, CDC's director of the Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, says the public needs to be ready if the virus becomes a pandemic.

After surviving worldwide famine, global cooling, overpopulation, runnnig out of oil, acid rain, nuclear winters, floods, draughts, global warming (multiple times) and untolded pestilences, I think I can handle this one.

I'm no expert on COVID-19, but I have strong hunch that the Left sees an opportunity to unseat PDJT by hyping and weaponizing public concerns about this coronavirus. They've been praying for an economic downturn like the one that doomed the Pubbies' chances in 2008 (of course with Mittens on our ticket they didn't need much to tip the balance).

By the time it gets here we'll have 3 vaccines for it.

Check these people from the CDC. It's bad enough Wall street is freaking out about this virus sending everyone's 401k down the tubes, now we have people from the CDC making things worse by feeding the paranoia. I was planning on retiring this year. Now I'm not so sure.

There clearly will be supply chain problems and maybe even medication shortages. There may be some slowdown in activity because of the supply chain, but stock market fears are not the economy.

I suspect the virus will be rampant among illegal immigrants and those who employ them. People entering the country legally are screened. Illegals are not.

It is the job of the CDC to anticipate possible problems, and to put people on notice.
nothing the President said is contradicted by what the CDC is saying.

Maybe people will finally come to their senses about supply chain issues, and why in heck are so many of our medications manufactured in China, including blood pressure medications (at least one of which has been recalled, contaminated with carcinogens), life-saving antibiotics, etc. Of course we know that cheap drugs, higher profit-margins. Do you think people would prefer quality and safety control though making pharmaceuticals more expensive would be reliably safe?

#15, I think the real casualty from the COVID-19 virus will be the Chinese economy and Chinese jobs. Lots of American companies have already been divesting themselves of Chinese goods in their supply chain, or directly selling them, finding other sources. Some are coming back to the USA, thank goodness. Others going to other countries, and I heard one guy on the radio being interviewed that was going for multiple suppliers, in different countries. Good news.
And anything that economically weakens China is a good thing for the world.

This virus just might be used to our advantage. First, Missy Rod Rosenstein's sister claims that we might have to keep kids out of their schools. What a great opportunity to home school the little darlings and teach them American History, which is lacking in public schools. Could teach government 101 also.
also, #11 made a good point that we should expand on. Illegals are not checked for the virus. Spread that little tidbit of info around. Maybe the dems, libs and their fellow snowflakes will wake up and understand why coming into this country illegally can be very dangerous to themselves and their families.

Good point, #17.
"Illegals carry the deadly virus", pass it on. And it is likely true, too.

Wow just what we need a CDC official pouring gasoline on the fire of this virus. Maybe we'll have to go around like China is someday, maybe not. Most of the concerns of major pandemics have proven to be much less pan and more local in the epidemicness. (yeah I know thats not a word so what). Some one needs to take this guy to the wood shed and tell him he doesn't need, at this point, to pump up the blood pressure of everyone in the USA. Idiot is responding to Rush and all Rush said is don't panic now, its too early to know if panic is even going to be necessary. If and when its time to panic I think we'll all know.

Do exactly what is Schumer and Pelosi doing about it? Nothing. Nothing but set Trump as the guy to blame.

Since the coronavirus causes the “common cold”, most of we commoners have already had at least one strain of it. And survived.

Peter Navaro is coming out as Trump's point man on his efforts to isolate the virus, treat the victims, and streamline the vaccine development and distribution process to get it out to the public in the least amount of time. It sounds like the Trump team is focused on this problem and looking for solutions rather than hand wringing and hyperbole from the CDC. As Rudyard Kipling advised his son:
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;!”
