Btw, let the record show that the very same Kunt who is criticizing Trump over the containment of deadly diseases was fully in favor of allowing infected Ebola patients into this country and vehemently opposed imposing a travel ban on Ebola hot spot countries.HHusky said:
That’s the objective, dumbshit. Sorry you’ve been disappointed so often by the containment of deadly diseases.MikeDamone said:

As Americans' fears grow of a possible coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., President Trump was addressing the nation in a Wednesday evening news conference at the White House to discuss how his administration was handling the virus threat -- saying that a vaccine is being developed "rapidly" and "coming along very well."
However, Anthony Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said later at the press conference that a vaccine would not be applicable to the epidemic for a "year to a year-and-a-half," due to delays from testing, development, production, and distribution.
The president also announced he was putting Vice President Mike Pence "in charge" of coronavirus prevention efforts, effective immediately. The White House had reportedly considered naming a virus czar to be the point person on the disease.
"Because of all we've done, the risk to the American people remains very low," Trump said. "We're ready to adapt, and we're ready to do whatever we have to."
The president revealed that of the "15" Americans confirmed to have the virus, eight have "returned to their homes to stay in their homes until fully recovered, one is in the hospital, and five have fully recovered; and one is, uh, we think in pretty good shape, and is in between hospital and going home." Trump later said the person was "pretty sick and hopefully will recover."
So far, there have been 60 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S. in total.
Separately, Trump said the stock market was foundering "because of this," but also in part because the public is worried one of the Democrats running for president might win and impose socialist policies.
Earlier in the day, after two days of the stock market tumbling, Trump blamed the media and Democrats for causing undue alarm and harming American financial markets. On Twitter, he singled out MSNBC and CNN for “doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible." HRYN -
Securing the borders doesn't fit the narrative the left is pushing hereSledog said:If China goes full blown it'll cause huge problems here.
They make way to much of our stuff. Especially prescription drugs and binders etc to manufacture them. Combined with lean inventory and just in time supply practices it might be ugly.
Economy will take a hit.
Hope it's not too bad. -
Sounds like my golf game and unlimited Mulligans.MikeDamone said:
Typhus deaths are due to leftist failed policies so those don't count.PurpleThrobber said:
How many deaths have there been in the US due to corona virus?HustlinOwl said:Difference is the standard flu gets a new vaccine every year so all of your numbers could essentially go to zero if everybody was vaccinated. There is nothing for this corona thing, yet. 1 in 50 chance you die, slightly worse than rolling snake eyes.
There's been more deaths due to typhus (RIP, CD) than the corona virus in the US.
AAAARRGH MEAN ORANGE MAN!!!!!!

"How many" indicates the answer is an integer.

I got a flu shot, ma’am. I don’t know if that means I was “worried” or whether it was just common sense. I also support mandatory vaccinations. Cuz fascism!MikeDamone said:

You're constantly denigrating those you debate with as females. Do you view the female species as weak and or ineffective? What is their flaw you like to exploit?HHusky said:
