    I been laughing at how no one is talking about Russia :)

    Five prototype COVID-19 vaccines created in Russia
    The MSM is hardly mentioning them, because apparently that news is far to positive for the little leftist agenda :) Russia is busy busy while America and America snivel snivel ;)

    Which means they are in Phase 1 of a four phase process - which means any real vaccine is a year away.

    And where are we at? Oh that right, we depend on China to make us sick and then bend over and beg to make us well, thanks Mr. Obatard ;)

    What the **** re you talking about. Drug TESTING never left the US for China. And no President forced companies to move to China - that was purely a greed motivation.

    (Shrug) Despite the best and ongoing efforts of the political Left, it remains a free country and so if people WANT to gulp down leftist generated political propaganda and SHRIEK, "We are all going to die!" that's up to them . . . but panicking doesn't actually change the outcome.

    37,000 people died last year from variations of the flu and yet our political Left saw no reason to panic or to incite the stock market to go belly up . . . but then again this IS a presidential election year and all the Dem Party is running is a senile old man and a Socialist/Marxist for the presidency. It's understandable that they would therefore play cut-throat level politics with the populace and the national economy.

    The "coronavirus is no worse that the Flu", is a thoroughly DEBUNKED "talking point" (that has been shredded on Multiple Levels).

    I actually am surprised that anyone could possibly think that the coronavirus isn't worse:

    Covid-19 is more infectious than flu. It appears a person who is infected with Covid-19 spreads it to more people than the flu, so it may spread farther and faster than flu.

    Covid-19 is more likely to kill than flu.

    I DON'T Agree with your characterization.

    That said, as long as Trump ends up being voted out of office, things will be fine.

    My advice to the President is to shut the freak up.

    And those are the flus for which we have vaccines available.

    Imagine the damage that a flu for which there is no vaccine can do?

    Lets stop bringing up irrelevant information. It's too early to tell what the death rate will be for COVID-19, because it's still happening, testing is not widespread enough, and there are many worldwide cases in countries that likely aren't going to tell the truth about the sick within their borders to begin with.

    The virus is still spreading. There will be more cases identified each day before we start seeing reductions.

    trump cares about one thing and one thing only — re-election, he knows that the only way this happens if the economy appears to be booming to the low information portion of his base.
    He isn’t going to win on personally or policies so that leaves him with one option, juice the economy through dangerous fiscal policy and playing off events that may damage the markets, no matter the risk.

    Clearly that's not what we are facing since only 50 or so have died in the US.

    This lies squarely with top dems and its MSM.

    Trust in the CDC is higher now than its been in over a decade.

    Are you saying the count will not be going up? I don't think you've seen 'nothin' yet'. We've tested less people than South Korea tested in two days and they're still doing like 10,000 tests a day. We are so far behind the curve it's pathetic.

    He never said that.

    "In the wake of the criticism, Trump said at a press conference on Feb. 29 that he used the term “hoax” to refer not to coronavirus itself but to Democrats’ criticism of how his administration had responded to it."

    He then went to describe how few cases there were and why we shouldn't worry about it ... a hoax.

    so you want wait till this thing spread and kill 37k before doing something? remember this virus has same spread index as flu but 10 time more lethal, so if it spread without slowing it down, it can kill 10*37000.

    Just more sad ... the polling data in your article was from a 2015 PEW poll. All the research tables are from 2014 -2015 data. Nowhere in your article does it state that trust is higher under Trump. Just sad, dude. Really sad.

    Phase I can going fairly rapidly (not in all cases of course). Phase I determines maximum toxicity levels for first in human trials. Phase II then finds out on what patients the treatment is working and any necessary mod's are made. Phase III means Phase II has determined that the treatment is working and the dossages are safe, they the pool of patient increase exponentially and even (probably not in vaccine trials) blinded trial with placebos are then introduced. Phase III can then be submitted for FDA approval. Phase IV is only done for further data research, i.e. they found that the drug in some cases work to fight other issues. Yah know, the whole Wellbutrin that found that it helped smokers stop smoking as an added benefit to it's other attributes.
