The Coronavirus, not the beer

[thethe]

what do you mean? have you not seen how people are still dining out in certain parts of the country...the city was going to get slammed earlier no matter what...they should have done some things differently with respect to public transportation but its hard to say what exactly...is closing the whole system an option?

It doesnt matter if its 10% of the population in those areas act different. It completely changes the growth.

All over the world people are changing their behavior.

but how quickly and how much buy in you get matter yugely

Agreed but if you do it earlier and with less seed infection even 10% goes a mile

Quebec recommends avoiding using cash.

This is one I've been wondering about the past few weeks. It seems sensible not to use it if at all possible.

[The Chosen One]

glad to see chosen one preparing the country for a rough two weeks and driving home the point this is much worse than the flu...I think it's going to be a rough 5 or 6 weeks but no need to quibble

Wow.

I didn't watch the whole thing today, but props to him for containing himself from lying again. He must've gotten scared like Fox News about getting sued.

case fatality rate so far approximately 2% in the U.S.

that's only 6 million deaths if that holds for the country

not too bad when you remember a month ago the president said we would be at zero soon

It might seem rude to point it out in this time of national crisis but just a few weeks ago chosen one was saying it was just like the flu.

There are about 2000 deaths in NYC every year from Flu-and-flu-like-yadda-yadda.

NYC is up over 1000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths.... in the last 18 days.

Queens is getting hammered.

Not everyone will get infected. But a third to a half are projected to.

Trump Fireside Chat entirely in his own words as compiled by Dana Milbank

The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We have it totally under control. I’m not concerned at all. It’s one person coming in from China. We pretty much shut it down. It will all work out well. We’re in great shape. Doesn’t spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took. There’s a chance it won’t spread. It’s something that we have tremendous control over.

We have very little problem in this country. We only have five people. We only have 11 cases. Out of billions of people, 15 people. They’re getting better, and soon they’re all going to be better, hopefully. We’re going very substantially down, not up.

The United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point. To this point, and because we have had a very strong border policy, we have had 40 deaths. As of this moment, we have 50 deaths. I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they’re going to be.

Frankly, the testing has been going very smooth. The tests are all perfect. Anybody that wants a test can get a test. The tests are beautiful. We have a tremendous testing setup.

I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. We are very close to a vaccine. A matter of months. You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact? Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. Based on very strong evidence.

I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter. No way I’m going to cancel the convention. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!

We’re the ones that gave the great response. I’d rate it a 10. We’ve done a fantastic job. I think they should be appreciative. Gallup just gave us the highest rating. The highest on record.

I like this stuff. I really get it. Maybe I have a natural ability. We think it’s going to have a very good ending. We’re going to win faster than people think. I hope.

This blindsided the world! Who could have ever predicted a thing like this? This was something that nobody has ever thought could happen to this country.

I’ve always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously.

If you’re talking about the virus, no, that’s not under control for anyplace in the world. I was talking about what we’re doing is under control, but I’m not talking about the virus. I didn’t say Easter. It was just an aspiration. I am giving consideration to a QUARANTINE.

So you’re talking about 2.2 million deaths. If we could hold that down…between 100,000 and 200,000, and we all together have done a very good job. START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!! Invoke “P”. I want our life back again.

It was nobody’s fault. No, just things that happened. I don’t take responsibility at all.

The best part is, there’s still many quotes and lines missing from there.

my favorite one is “and this my... HUNCH ... from talking to a lot of people that do this”

this narrative is going to be pushed hard in coming weeks and months

it is a lie

it is disinformation

we should call it what it is

[nsacpi]

yeah, we gonna be thinking about it

You have to take him at his word when he says this is a pandemic and he knew it was a pandemic long before anyone else was calling it a pandemic.

I was interested to see that the deaths in NY YTD from illness have been less than previous years.

Perhaps covid is taking folks who were susceptible to other illnesses?

[Runnin]

Well look at that.

Maybe reporters should do their jobs.

Maybe the President should do his job and there would be less confusion and panic. The lack of national leadership during this crisis is dereliction of duty, if not criminal.

it might be that social distancing is reducing flu deaths

[nsacpi]

hopefully today's surge in deaths is an outlier

[Runnin]

The U.S. was the most prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic.

What happened???
