    You don't think that 'they' were working on developing a vaccine for Sars back then but failed?

    I have no idea....they developed treatments for it and there has been no cases since 2004 which is a good thing.

    All i do know is today, we are prepared, and treatments are well underway.

    How can we do that screening if we don't enforce our borders?

    the market is reacting to the virus in China...not due to our roaring economy. Once, China gets control of the virus, it will bounce back.

    The market wasn't open when he spoke last night...

    The virus is still not contained....because of Socialist China's unhealhy policies the virus grew, it's hitting Japan and in Europe as well. Major nations that impact the economy....

    The whole "If trump did or said X, you would say Y" is a weak argument. React to what he did say and did, and refrain from trying to predict a reaction to something he objectively did not do or say.

    No? No what? You think CNN is lying about how we are doing human testing to fix this virus?

    I agree it is weak...but it's all you all have, so that's what you all do.

    Like I said earlier, you literally did just that....when you said the President made it political, because he said he didn't want to make it political.

    Pretty weak, and sad

    And now there is a currently breaking story how workers without protective gear assisted coronavirus evacuees.

    People working for Trump's Gov't that violated health protocol and may actually be leading to SPREADING the disease.

    Trump's "Response" -- Let's SPREAD it Further.

    Wow.:smh:

    Cool...that's great, thankfully we are prepared and that's pretty quick.....we just got a vaccine for the Ebola outbreak that Biden and Obama couldn't get done from back in 2014.

    Amazing watching this Admin getting stuff done.

    ...where did I invent a reaction to something that he didnt say?

    He objectively did attack his opponents politically while saying it is inappropriate to attack someone politically.

    Just to recap.

    You wont criticize what trump has done on the coronavirus response because it hasn't been 3 years since the start of the outbreak, but you will praise trump for something that is a possible outcome 14 months and 15 years from now.

    And you wonder why I think you worship trump.

    15 years? not sure what you are talking about.

    Obama and Biden never got a vaccine for Ebola done..

    Responding to the outbreak, and making the meds to treat it, are two different things. How the President contains etc is just as important.

    If the outbreak is still going on in 3 years, and meds aren't developed for 6 plus years...like what happened with the Obama admin, you might have something to complain about. Since you didn't, then you have nothing to complain about here

    The fact is that most of the public does not have any trust in Trump to tell the truth. Therefore, there is a vacuum of reliable information from the White House or the Administration. Once Trump lost all credibility, about three years ago, his usefulness as an honest source of information vanished. It will not return because Trump is a pathological liar.

    About the only thing that may establish credibility from Washington is to assign somebody outside of the Administration to coordinate, manage, and communicate on actions taken to protect Americans. "Information" from this White House is permanently tainted.

    15 years is a reference to trump's proposal to balance the budget...assuming economic factors he is very unlikely to ever obtain.

    And again, you are making it explicitly clear that you think it is inappropriate to criticize or even evaluate trump on his reaction to coronavirus because it has not been 3...or even 6 YEARS since the start of the outbreak.

    What does balancing the budget have to do with the viruses and the responses by the admins?

    I think it is for anyone that never took issue with Obama’s actions when dealing with Ebola. I mean you and other were upset he appointed the VP to oversee this because he wasn’t a doctor...ignoring that Obama didn’t appoint a doctor or even someone with management and govt experience...he appointed a dem political operative

    I think you're having a problem with reading comprehension.

    Maybe third time is the charm.
