    will 'go away' (title cont'd)

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/coronavirus-us-cases-trump-colorado-indiana-maryland-nevada-new-jersey-a9383646.html

    This "****ing moron" actually said, "This came unexpectedly, it came out of China, we closed it down, we stopped it, it was a very early shut down.”

    And this happened on the day after the single largest one-day increase of cases (the second most was the day before) in the United States. The day after Five States announced their first new case of the Coronavirus. The day after the single the newest #1 source of the virus became "Unknown."

    And this is true even though the White House finally had to admit that it "did not have enough tests to meet demand."

    That begs an obvious question: why did Trump approve $8 billion for something that's just going to "go away"?

    At least your fifth OP's on the Chinese flu topic. Are you nervous or just looking for another way to blame your president for something he had nothing to do with creating?
    Cover your cough,
    Wash your hands frequently,
    Never pet a burning dog.
    You will be fine.

    It's just the damn flu get over it. Warm weather happens as it always does and people come out of their hovels and dance in the street. What a wild ride the media is taking us on with this hysterical reporting.

    Does the federal government usually pass $8 billion dollar spending packages for seasonal flu?

    Politicians will spend any amount of our money to make themselves look good. Or at least blameless.

    Without even reading the appropriations bill, I can guarantee at minimum 80% of the appropriations go for something other than covering the costs associated with the Corona-virus. Pork and more pork.

    Well.. this administration that put infected passengers on the same plane back from Japan as non-infected passengers, against the advice of the CDC

    But I am (mostly) not criticizing Trump for the virus itself. I am criticizing Trump for his idiocy and handling of said virus though.

    Is the logic here something along the lines of..."These other things kill more people, so don't worry about coronavirus?"

    This is most definitely not the "damn flu" and it is largely irresponsible to tell people they should not worry about COVID-19 simply because it creates flu-like conditions.

    The flu has killed far more people than coronavirus. So why all the frenzy about COVID-19?

    Do you think Trump is secretly pissed at the Coronavirus because it limits the ability of his privately owned resorts to charge the Secret Service for lodging and golf carts?

    That would be wasteful. Probably best to boil them into a soup.

    I always wipe, twice, after any interaction with congressional actions. Treat them like a contagion, keep your distance and wash your hands.

    Half of that 8billion is going to be pork spending of some kind. Well we're on 8billion where did they come up with that number? Why not 10billion or even 50billion?
