With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!

2 days ago: Top NIH Dr. Anthony Fauci says the coronavirus outbreak could be 'one of those things we look back on and say boy, that was bad'

Oh, and this too: U.S. to Miss Rollout Goal This Week on Virus Tests, Senators Say

1. Yeah, thanks for gutting (and muzzling) the CDC jackhole

and for suggesting that the death rate is "way less than 1%"

and for suggesting that it's totally cool to go to work when sick

and for fucking up the disaster response plans that Obama put in place

and for putting a religious zealot in charge of the action plans

and for just now getting around to make sure there are enough tests

You're a fucking saviour.

2. What's He Going To Say When The Numbers Really Go Up?.....

Who is he going to blame?

3. You mean when they start testing people.

[gratuitous]

6. Trump will deny ever downplaying the outbreak

Then blame everyone else, starting with Joe Biden or Barack Obama, and the media will faithfully and uncritically report every lying syllable that falls out of his stupid mouth. Then he'll praise himself incessantly, and brag about how he and he alone stopped the outbreak from becoming a pandemic. Then how he stopped the pandemic from becoming an epidemic. Then after the disease has run its course how he personally saved millions of lives.

10. Isn't it obvious?

Obama's fault!

4. "My Sharpie will keep these numbers as low as possible"

[bullwinkle428]

7. 5 days ago, he said "15 cases". Can anyone explain "exponential increase" to him?

[mercuryblues]

12. Hell they are still

trying to explain to him that this isn't the flu, the flu shot won't help, and a vaccine won't be available in a few weeks or months.

9. Hey Dumbo,

what happens when your Base starts seeing the Hearse's going down Main Street? Or when the lame ass News Media spots Military Ambulances leaving the Cage Camps,you can hide the truth just so long.

11. 164 as of now. It will grow exponentially.

He is an idiot.
