The answer is apparently not.
Schumer, Pelosi and others in that party are already blaming
Trump for the coronavirus. Instead of, for once, putting aside their irrational
and unrelenting hatred of Trump in the interest of finding realistic solutions
to protect American lives, they simply can’t.
Make no mistake, this is a display of mental illness.
Democrats and the media know the virus came from China. Trump acted early to shut down travel to and
from infected zones about a month ago. Democrats and the media accused him of overreacting
and being a racist for doing so at the time.
Now they accuse Trump of not doing more sooner.
Trump held a press conference the other day to say that we
are prepared to take on the virus and he appointed VP Pence to lead the effort.
Democrats ridiculed the choice of Pence
as a religious fanatic who didn’t believe in science, and said Trump downplayed
the dangers of the virus. Talking heads
on MSNBC and CNN sarcastically suggested Pence might substitute prayer for vaccines. They also implied Trump was too stupid and
too anti-science to handle this crisis. They
criticized Trump for only devoting $2.5 billion initially to address it.
WTF is wrong with these people? Seriously. Here are the facts as we know
them.
There’s a highly contagious virus that came from China. Its
symptoms resemble the common flu, which is why so many of the early cases were misdiagnosed.
Like the flu if not treated in time it can kill, especially those with
compromised health conditions and the elderly, and it has. Nobody is certain how it spreads or how to
vaccinate people against it, although a variety of companies here and abroad
are working on vaccines. However, at
present there is no proven vaccine.
Still, most Americans in reasonably fair health and with no underlying
conditions have little to worry about; in that way it’s like the common flu. They might get infected, it might be
unpleasant, but caught early it’s treatable with conventional medicines and
not likely to be life threatening.
It seems to have an incubation period of 14 days, so
conventional quarantine and isolation protocols appear to work. That’s the
approach our health systems – the best in the world, BTW – have used so far. And
they’ve been successful: no one in America has died from the coronavirus to
date. The virus may stay alive on surfaces
up to nine days, but it can also be killed on surfaces using common disinfectants
such as Lysol spray and Clorox disinfecting wipes.
That’s not to say it isn’t dangerous. It is. Mainly because
the Chinese dropped the ball.
Yet we have Democrats and bozos in the media trying to blame
Trump for this virus.
This is the virus that sprung mysteriously and suddenly in
China. The virus China didn’t take seriously enough when it first appeared. The
virus China couldn’t contain. The virus and
the deaths from it China essentially hid from the rest of the world to avoid embarrassment.
And the same virus that China refused to allow our top infectious disease experts
in to help address.
Yeah, that virus.
Tell me again how Trump is responsible …
Look, this coronavirus is potentially dangerous. It should
be taken seriously. People can die from
it. Panic over it has disrupted supply chains
worldwide. That same panic has caused the U.S. stock market to crater over
fears of a pandemic.
But in the end, it’s still mostly unwarranted panic – fed by
politicians who should know better and media fools who want to terrify everyone
to get ratings.
They all should be ashamed. But they’re not. They’re just
following the Rahm Emanuel edict to never let a good crisis go to waste. The Democrats want to sink Trump. The media
want ratings. Neither will ever let the facts get in the way of what they
want.
How sad.
Bill Maher is happy. He wanted his recession so here it is. It won't work politically but billions will be spent and billions will be lost and the same people will die. Those or any age but primarily the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. I have no idea what caused this virus or the other SARS type infection but I know the country survived SARS, Swine Flu and Ebola and others and it will survive this. The better question is when will Congress demand that production capacity for pharma or any other critically needed product be available from USA production in the amount necessary to satisfy projected USA demand? It is a win, win for the country in the form of jobs and taxes and for the well being of the population. The only potential loser, if that is even possible is the bottom line of the companies that produce the products if local costs exceed foreign mfg costs.
ReplyDeleteNancy says she prays everyday for the President, but never says what she prays for. She probably thinks her prayers have finally been answered: the market's crashing and coronavirus is hurting the economy and terrifying the crap out of people.
