Trump claims coronavirus is 'going to go away' despite mounting concerns

[spanone]

Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday predicted the coronavirus is "going to go away" despite warnings from Democrats that his White House is asleep amid cresting fears in Washington that the outbreak could spark a pandemic.

The President maintained his sunny optimism about the virus that is showing signs of spreading around the world from its Chinese epicenter and is already having a huge impact on global commerce.

"I think that's a problem that's going to go away," Trump said during a trip to India, expressing confidence that the epidemic will not seriously harm the global economy.

But after weeks of telling Americans that China has a lid on the situation, the President will return from India amid growing concern in Washington over the virus and partisan criticism of his attitude.

odds are if a world leader catches it, I think he may be at the top of the list.

7. I am truly numb to his tweets, I ignore them 99% of the time.

The one from yesterday, was in a league of it's own. The stock market dove over a thousand points, meanwhile Coronavirus is raging out of control.

8. Somebody should tell him that people with no symptoms...

...could infect him by just being in the same room (and may already have). They might very well not even know they’re infected.

While we’re at it, why not give him a description of the progression of COVID-19 symptoms of people who died.

Then when he retreats to his bedroom to cry hysterically and refuse to come out, then can we invoke the 25th?

It may turn out that it does go away, Trump is the luckiest prick on the face of the earth.

11. Just Fact

Of course, he is clueless, but immunosuppression will eventually take place.
The virus won’t kill everybody.
The bad part is if a million people die before treatment & and resistance kicks in.
So, he’s going to be right eventually. Doesn’t mean he knows what he’s talking about.

12. He couldn't care less who or how many die, as long as he gets re-elected
