FYI the Coronavirus is 20 times more lethal than the flu.
Not in the US, where the lethal rate is ZERO%
So far the death rate for this new virus is from 2 to 3 %.
Not in the US, where the death rate is ZERO.
The lethality rate for flu is .1%.
If you listened to the experts instead of listening to Sniffles who keeps comparing it to the flu, or Rush Limbaugh who called it 'the common cold' you might know that.

The number of cases here in the US is minimal, and ALL OF THEM are currently in stable condition.

Why do you Trump supporters act as if it's all over?
The government health care experts are saying that it is inevitable that there will be more cases, which is why Trump has now muzzled them.

China got pissed off at that big time, and naturally every left-wing media outlet opposed that action, calling Trump racist and stupid for doing so!

I didn't hear any media outlets calling him racist and stupid for doing that.
You probably heard that on FOX News TRUMP TV or some other right wingnut source.

FYI the CDC was against bringing those 14 infected people back to the U.S. but the State Dept. overruled them.
Those people sat on buses with people who were not infected and flew on the same plane with them.

Sorry, but I don't feel very assured by the fact that Trump has gutted the healthcare infrastructure that was set up to deal with pandemics like this, and has appointed Pence to head up the coronavirus task force, who in turn named Larry Kudlow and Steve Mnuchin to the task force.
What medical background do any of them have?

And Pence and the HHS Sectetary can't even seem to agree on which one of them is in charge.

The HHS Secretary BTW was a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry and also has no medical background.
