She wouldn't have the closed borders to China and other hot zones and it would have probably been worse.

jesus, you still believe his lies. HE DIDN"T CLOSE THE BORDERS.

The AIRLINES did that themselves.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Trump's is saying there is effective medication they can use right away. Bullshit!

 

[jonnyboy]

LMAO, what fucking high road. Weren't you one of the people agreeing that this was a "hoax?"

People are dying because of this idiot and his lack of preparation and perpetuation of his bullshit. And the ones that keep repeating his nonsense are coincidentally the ones being affected.

And no, I never called it a hoax, pretty sure like nobody here did. Quit yelling, take a deep breath and chill the fuck out. You went from a perfectly rational criticism of the president to crying wolf in one post. You’re not helping anything.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The airlines are able to deny entry for foreigners into the US?

Under new restrictions here that went into effect at 5 p.m. ET Sunday, U.S. citizens who have traveled in China within 14 days will be directed to one of eight airports designated for screening, with three more to be added Monday.

“We can’t have thousands of people coming in who may have this problem - the coronavirus,” Trump told Fox during a short interview broadcast on Sunday. He said U.S. officials had offered China “tremendous help” in dealing with the epidemic.

Foreigners who have traveled in China within 14 days of their arrival will be denied entry.

Please be nicer to each other or I will start doing things.

And you guys don't want that.

Editing? Holy hell, we live in some dystopian reality right now. Just 20 days ago.

Here is the full freaking quote from the idiot in chief himself:

So what is the 'hoax' he was talking about? A hoax is a deception - what were 'they' deceiving people about?

The only one trying to deceive people about the coronavirus was Trump himself.

Here is the full freaking quote from the idiot in chief himself:

Do you see at 27 seconds when it fades in? Yeah, that's an edit and there was something cut out right there.

So it isn't the "full freaking quote" like you claim it is.

I give up. Really, I do. When you can't freaking see and hear the actual words coming out of his mouth, I can't do a damn thing for you.

Regardless, who fucking cares now anyway? Keep believing whatever the hell you want.

It's already too late. March 30th or so is when the actual shit will start hitting the fan here and we'll see mass funerals like they're doing in Italy.

You know those times in life where everything turns white, then fades back into color, and the person you were talking to is suddenly talking about something else?

Isn’t it weird when that happens?

The hoax is the politicizing of coronavirus.

He uses hoax in a different sense. Like the "Impeachment Hoax". Basically using Impeachment as a tool to try to weaken him. Same with using Coronavirus as a political weapon.

What's True
During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.

What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

That happens to me everyday.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Trump's is saying there is effective medication they can use right away. Bullshit!

So I actually have spent quite a bit of time googling this, and I think it's very plausible they have found medications that are effective in a majority of cases. Obviously a cure hasn't been found, but I wouldn't call this, "bs", I'd call this may be premature because the biggest case study I've read about is 75 people. We'll see. I don't know.

That's great. You realize that the crossed out portion doesn't change the context, right? He's still talking about the coronavirus when he says that "this is their new hoax." The crossed out portion is his digression about how their "old hoax" was the Russia stuff, the impeachment, something about counting votes in Iowa.

You can't see that edit at 27 seconds? I'm pointing it out to you specifically. Even freakin SNOPES is saying he didn't call it a hoax.

He's talking about the politicization of coronavirus. It says it right there.

Oh, I see. So Trump's words mean what you think they do, and not what other people, or the dictionary, think they do.

Since you are the Trump whisperer, as a public service could you translate all of his remarks going forward into English? Thanks in advance.

Yes. (and in Trumps world, Yes means No).

I work in pharma. My company is helping with the diagnostic testing and has a collab with a small biotech to find antibodies that can potentially work. It is quite possible that Chloroquine can help mitigate the virus, but until proper validation/trials are done, this is completely useless to talk about. But that won't let Trump stop him from speaking nonsense. This was the actual chronology from today's PC:

It's interesting but for the last week I've noticed big press announcements from different Israel based companies stating giant breakthroughs in vaccines and treatments. All of them seem like scams designed to get investors. Now with Trump's press conference and him repeatedly stating that liability is going to be waived I'm worried about a sudden rush of bogus and dangerous treatments and preventions being pushed out in this country.

 

[illmatic99]

And before Trump and his minions start claiming credit for Chloroquine, let it be known that China has been evaluating its use to treat coronavirus for nearly two months now, with varying levels of improvement. South Korea actually recommended it to be used a treatment last month. Last week, France did a very small trial and saw clinical efficacy.

It's essentially a chemical synthetic version of quinine (discovered 4 centuries ago in South America) which is used to treat malaria, and was discovered in Europe pre WWII.

 

[jonnyboy]

You’d better start trash talking the Italian leader quick!

Or will that not help the problem?

There is an excellent chance that something will be pushed through before the election that turns out to be either ineffective or have safety issues.

It shouldn't go unnoticed how he mentioned the price of a barrel of oil in his coronavirus press conference today.

Everything he does/says is to fool his base into voting for him again.

Big deal. The same applies to the sex life of 75% of Americans.

Japan AFAIK has done the largest tests / validations and has seen good results from what I read. Why is it completely useless to talk about though? What else should we talking about? What's wrong with hoping that this actually works for people...?

That's your takeaway after seeing that reality?

Here's another scary thought for you: Italy has a much better healthcare system than ours.

Saying a drug (that has not even been validated or tested in a trial) is FDA approved is freaking dangerous. Keeping your mouth shut and letting the experts talk is more useful than providing false hope. He did it (LIED AGAIN) only to try to help the markets and his approval rating. Nothing else.
