Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape! @CDCgov.....

We're goig with the scientists on this one, since they have more credibility than anyone inside the White House.
During a recent press conference, Trump seemed to shrug off the coronavirus threat and said the Flu is actually worse than the Coronavirus :
So Trump is handling the Coronavirus by saying the Flu is worse. He’s surprised by how many people are killed by the Flu every year!!! WTF...
The leader of the free world is an idiot!! pic.twitter.com/Rzjg7DIx8d— Mystery Solvent (@MysterySolvent) February 26, 2020
In this exchange yesterday with @drsanjaygupta, Trump seemed to dispute the fatality rate of Coronavirus, and then said he wasn't concerned that it's 20-fold higher than the flu pic.twitter.com/pbNjXp3rLJ

SMH.
To make matters worse, Trump announced Vice President Mike Pence will take charge of the US response to the new Coronavirus and called him an EXPERT. “He has a certain talent for this,” Trump said during the press briefing.
Does he? His state of Indiana - where the state's worst outbreak of HIV happened under his watch because he refused to allow proper disposal of needles - would like to have a word. So would family members who have had to watch their loved ones deteriorate from cancer due to smoking, since he once wrote an op-ed claiming smoking does not cause lung cancer and it's just "hysteria" being created. A person - who has zero background in science - who denies evidence that helps public health is likely not the best person to be in charge.
The pray-or-electroshock-the-gay-away believer will be replacing Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, who has been heading the White House coronavirus task force since the beginning of January.
Pence, who is now overseeing the US response to coronavirus, was just proclaimed an "expert" in public health by Trump.
Pence is best known for overseeing a massive HIV outbreak while serving as governor of Indiana, the worst in state history, spurring by gross mismanagement. pic.twitter.com/uEqLu9VjN3

While Pence was governor of Indiana, he cut public health spending and delayed of needle exchanges, which reportedly led to the worst outbreak of HIV.
Fix it Jesus. This is a mess. (But still, not as messy as the flu and cold virus epidemic here in America. Please wash your hands and stay home when sick.)
