What's new

Coronavirus

He was a passenger on the Princess of Death cruise ship. The place that's screwed right now is Seattle.
I figure it's gone be everywhere eventually no matter what we do.

17 deaths in the States now. I wonder how far up it'll go. Hopefully not too much. China is blaming the outbreak on the US. lol Damn Commies like to blame others for their problems and failures.
 
Perhaps Trump could order Pence to have the cruise ship moved to international waters, so none of the cases will be included in the stats of Americans with the virus:

Trump says he wants passengers to stay on cruise: "I don't need the numbers to double"
To recap what just happened at this Trump CDC press conference on coronavirus:

  • The president wore his re-election campaign hat and interrupted the event to ask a Fox News reporter if his town hall on the network had good ratings.
  • He attacked CNN.
  • He called the governor of Washington state, the epicenter of a major outbreak, a “snake” and “not a good governor”, and said he disagreed with his own vice president saying nice things about the governor while visiting the state.
  • Trump said he has not considered canceling his rallies and is not worried about risks.
  • He made false and exaggerated claims about the availability of coronavirus tests, ignoring the reality that his vice president has acknowledged, which is that there is a shortage among US healthcare providers right now.
  • He said he would prefer if people on the Grand Princess cruise remained on the ship so that US numbers would not go up.
  • He gloated about his “natural ability” to understand the epidemic.

Slowing it down improves our ability to prepare and respond.
There are a finite number of hospital beds- S Korea for example has run out of them and from a quick Google search appears to have five times as many beds per capita than the US does. I found a thread on twitter where someone did the math based on a conservative estimate of the number of infected and we're likely to run out of beds by the middle of May.

Edit- here it is

The more time we gain from slowing this down the better.
