Didn’t the Dow plunged 1000 points yesterday amidst the panic/fear of Coronavirus which your Rethugnicon Party tried on blame Bernie?

And didn’t your new budget proposed to cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid AND CDC?

Talk about gaslighting America on ‘preparedness’…truth be told, NOT PREPARED to defend our country from Coronavirus at all, you incompetent Criminal IMPeetus who is bent only on cruelty, revenge, corruption and crime!

One can only hope the Coronavirus has a conscience and will infect the criminal orange scumbag first!

Update…more Coronavirus gaslighting to come…

Trump officials will be soon assuring citizens “mortality” is a fake concept, pushed by the liberal funeral home industry.

Gay marriage is not permitted in China, so it’s very inexplicable how they became ground zero for this illness.

Sounds as if Corona virus is the new flavor variation of Infrastructure Week and the imminence of a great trade deal with China.

Larry Kudlow is point man on all of them.

trump is in for a personal disaster since it’s the only way he can conceive of this oncoming pandemic.
He is cavalierly putting lives at risk and thinking only of himself and his reelection. How do the goobers in the Senate feel now about keeping him in office?

Cue Channel 6 News interviewing a bankrupt farmer, mortally ill with coronavirus:

“We have to believe Trump knows what he’s doing, we just need to wait this out. Those Chinese are killing us, but our President knows what to do, and he’ll do it.”

He is a fricking moron. The only reason they’re doing the usual great job is because coronavirus isn’t really in the US yet. Talking through his hairdo trying to make everyone believe it’s so because why? Because of the stock market. He knows if the stock market goes to hell, so will he. Good riddance.

Remember when they gleefully piled on Obama, blaming him for problems with managing the Ebola virus, hoping the blame would stick? Seems like turnabout is fair play here.

But further, decimating the State Department surely does impact our ability to help manage this crisis abroad, and at home as well.

Don’t forget ol Rush Limbaugh. He thinks this new virus is just the common cold cuz it is in tbe same class of viruses. But that class also contains SARS and MERS which are not slouch diseases. I do not think the common cold has a death rate of 2% but I will look it up.

In 2005, during the H1N5 bird flu scare, the US Agency for International Development ran a program called Predict to identify and research infectious diseases in animal populations in the developing world. Most new viruses that impact humans — apparently including the one causing the Covid-19 disease — emerge through this route, so investing in early research is the kind of thing that, at modest ongoing cost, served to reduce the likelihood of rare but catastrophic events.

The program was initiated under George W. Bush and continued through Barack Obama’s eight years in office; [then, last fall the Trump administration SHUT IT DOWN…

“Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
If Trump’s penchant for bizarrely stating the exact opposite of reality even as it collapses around him plays out here, we are in for a big stock market crash.
