Have you noticed the virus is in only blue states (California, Washington State, Rhode Island and Illinois). Weird.

Ah yes, DEATH! This will bring joy to the Rats and their so-called ''media'' allies. ''Trumps fault...Trumps fault'' they will wail, while secretly hiding their smiles. There is nothing as low as a democrat politician and their butt-kissing media jerks.

the elderly and infirm with multiple comorbidities are the weak population that might succumb to any infection. Pneumonia used to be the "old man's friend" as it took your failing life painlessly. Want to protect yourself better against virulent infections? Improve your health ...specifically immune status.

I wish there was a way to imply that this was all caused by Trump, like maybe completely misquoting him and saying that he thinks the virus is a hoax. Oh, but wait...
I wish there was a way to blame each virus case on Trump, claiming that he is not doing anything about keeping the virus out of the United States because he doesn't even believe in science, yet at the same time demanding we allow open borders and free entrance into the United States to anyone. Oh, but wait...
I wish there was a way to completely and totally ignore the fact that this virus originated in China, and that China tried very hard to keep it a secret, and that central governments ALWAYS, repeat ALWAYS lie to protect their power and ALWAYS make things much worse. Oh, but wait...

Every time you read or hear "presumptive case" keep in mind that these are NOT confirmed by actual lab tests. They are presumed to have the virus based on symptoms which are in fact very similar to the Flu or even the common cold. Yet, the dishonest (or stupid) press uses the term "confirmed and presumptive" in the same sentence.

#4 I know a few Iranians, some of which are now U.S. citizens, who travel to Iran to see family (but they would not go right now).
Iran has a "lottery" to allow young people to come work here. Oddly, the ones who get selected are often well educated professionals. They believe that the government wants them out because they might be more likely to challenge the leadership in Iran.
We also have many many Iranian men in the U.S. who have been here for over 30 years. Their wealthy families got them out when they reached the age that they would be forced into military service. They often marry and divorce here before deciding to go to Iran and bring a young Iranian wife back.

The media has begun the body count. Remember that from the Iraq War?

I get it. The media want to blame all of this on President Trump. So our President is responsible for all of this? Of course, not China. Who in China became irresponsible?
I am certain that in trying to keep America great President Trump recognizes that our land, sea, and air are entryways and exit ways. I am sure that he recognizes that chaos occurs when civility is not practiced. The issues we have with land, sea, and air are because liberals don't think we need to have it. When President Trump first announced the China restrictions, liberals used their standby reasoning, "he is racist" and doesn't like the Asian culture. Blah, blah, blah.
Too many corners have been cut because of liberality and when something goes wrong, you pick the easiest target to blame.

I'll start paying attention when COVID-19 deaths surpass the ~8,000 per month that the CDC reports we have from the "normal flu".
This puts this into perspective. Four months, 18,000 to 45,000 deaths and nobody bats an eye, not a news story anywhere. Two deaths from COVID-19 and it is the Black Death all over again. Please, some sanity
here.

More people than that probably died by falling down the stairs yesterday. Nice try on the pandemic.

Have you noticed that the countries with the highest death rates are also countries that have the worst medical care?

Did this virus escape from a bio lab in Wuhan? Was it spread through supposed "Year of the Rat" revelers visiting family members globally? Or seeing as Iran in now seeing cases erupt, was it spread by Chinese representing the "Belt to Roads Initative"?
If the latter, the infected Chinese would be meeting with Government higher ups in closed meetings.
Things that make you go Hmmmm.

Just a simple question. How many people in the U.S. died of the common flu yesterday ?
All we hear about is the coronavirus, when the common flu kills far more victims. Of course
that does not make a good hysterical headline.

The media are primarily Left/Democrats and they want to crush the economy and make sure
Trump is not re-elected. That is why the hysteria over the Coronavirus. IT'S TRUMP'S fault.
They don't care who gets hurt as long as their goal is attained.

#18, at the rate of 8,000 "common flu" deaths per month since October in the USA, your "how many yesterday?" question has no exact answer, but on average, 30 days per month into 8,000 deaths per month is 267 per day dying from the "common flu".
And nobody bothers to report on that, and a whole lot of people can't even be bothered to take the between cheap and free flu shots.
Perspective needed, and the Enemedia is the LAST place to get any perspective, especially if they sense s new bludgeon to beat the President with.
