Definitely. Don't think now is the time as we're likely at the peak of people's emotions. I had a hard time turning my mind off last night with everything jammed in there.

I'm not a Behar fan at all. But at least she said some surprisingly decent things about Pence.

Remember how sick Trump looked last night....
Fabio Wajngarten, the press secretary for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday, two sources have told CNN. Bolsonaro's health is being monitored.
It comes just days after Wajngarten met U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida.
Bolsonaro's aide posted an image of himself standing with Trump and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.

How many times is this going to get posted? He looked fine to me and said he was fine is that not enough?

Nope....
See the guy who's face is a foot away from Trump's.....he has Corona, probably had it when this pic was taken.....so Trump needs to get tested at the least. Do you not agree? Pence as well.

Do you really think they have not already tested him? If he has it they will not tell the public is my belief. Two reasons is to not cause panic and to not give liberals hope.

Trump has been asked point blank if he has been tested and he has said no he does not feel the need to be tested....
WHITE HOUSE SOURCE: @realDonaldTrump is flipping out that he might have #coronavirus after being in contact with more than one person diagnosed with it.
Trump has told some staff he hasn’t felt well over the last few days including during address. He refuses to get tested.

Here we go with these sources again. I wish every source would just put their name on it. Just like Russian probe, Ukraine and all the other bs. He said she said sources always.

That weak and pathetic person last week when came to Cookeville for the tornadoes handed out checks outta his own money to several families! Pretty amazing and he takes a salary of $.01 for being president because he has to. Don’t worry the liberals will get a president one day and just wait. Karma. Biden sure is a class act. Calls people fat, liars, corn pop, grabs ladies, shall we go on? Gets in tirades worse than Trump. I hope Bernie stays in because all he has to do is get under Biden skin and he will go off. Reason he took the lead is because Dem kept him outta spot light and kept his tirades under radar. I bet he will not have but 1 debate with Trump because he can’t control himself. Democrats will do all they can to keep him out of spotlight so his lack of memory and tirades don’t show. Reason he has good poll numbers is because the Democrats that don’t follow politics much have no idea what he’s like. They just vote party lines. His poll numbers are best they will be now with voters that don’t watch politics much. For Trump what is there left to bring out. He’s already had everything thrown at him. It’s just getting started with Biden and I can’t wait. This Trumper will be trashing you Benders. Bend as in Biden is bending you over!

And he's one of 2 Democratic Presidential candidates??? Trying to make a little campaign $$$ off the Coronavirus.....Nice!!! Stay classy, Corn Pop
Emotions are running high, we've got a serious situation in our nation but try to debate civilly please.... should be a time we can pull together as a nation.
And they also had federal funding for abortions hidden within the language of the bill. Damn glad it didn’t pass. And I’m a registered Democrat!

The house floated a bill to the senate in the name of coronovirus releif that would give unlimited funding to abortion. You ought to see the crap they put in here. Lifetime agenda wishes all rolled up in the disguise of a corona releif bill. Is there not one media person who will stand up and call this crap out besides fox? This is what infuriates me. They want soc sec admin to run family leave paid by employer 100%. It would take soc sec admin 6 months to get this up and runing.
Yeah, I get politicians are always adding riders to bills to appease their constituents but this just isn't the time for that.

It's true Trump isn't taking his $400k/yr salary as POTUS. Why would he when he pockets a cool $1M every time he takes a golf trip to Mar a Lago. So what has he made from that in his tenure? $40M-$50M?
NCSNOW

Agree and expect it from both sides,how game is played unfortunately . But the window to stay half step in front of this is closing fast economically, salvage a base ground to be standing on 8 weeks down the road when we start crawling out of the fox holes .

Weak. He’s no different than all the other presidents. Golfing. Heck Clinton took care of one of his interns but yeah it’s only the republican presidents that are wrong. Democrats just turn blind eyes to their president. Do I agree with the way Trump acts? No. I would call him out on it. Most conservatives will call it out. I don’t hide my head in sand and not a hypocrite. I just realize no political figure is perfect. They are all corrupt in some way. They have to be to get elected. They have to get that dirty money for elections somehow. I look at the economy and see how it’s doing and how America is doing. If Democrats had a good candidate I would vote for them. I have in past. The economy was the best it had been in a long time. That is all I need to know and see being a working man and not one of those wanting govt. handouts.

I know this is basically repeating a previous post however it really chaps me..
If this was a crisis with a Democratic President and a Republican congress and the Republicans loaded up with pork a bill meant to deal with the crisis you'd hear about it on every single news medium possible how those evil Republicans are trying to take advantage of the crisis.
We sure haven't heard much about Pelosi and companies disgraceful actions with the Coronavirus "relief" bill..
Double standard to the ultimate degree and very unpatriotic; what happened to come together as a Country in times of crisis?

Well you know CNN and NBC sure won’t. Like I said before. If Satan is running for president they are washing his feet. Bowing to him. All a bunch of stooges that can’t think for themselves. Funny how Chris Mathews threw Trump under bus for sexual harassment. Oops guess he forgot he was doing same thing.

Clinton, Obama, Bush didn't take their vacations at their own resorts and jack up the per diem rates 300% so that they can make extra money into their own pockets at the taxpayers expense. Trump has a good racket going. Takes a big entourage with him every time he goes (staff/Secret Service/family/guests/etc) and they all stay at his resort ($650 per night per room) and eat at his resort and all that money goes into his own coffers. Who needs a measly $400K salary when you can pocket more than that on a couple of golf trips to your own resort. Greatest con man ever

Fair enough.
So Clinton would be greatest liar and pervert ever.
Obama would be greatest create racial tensions ever.
Biden gets elected he will beat Clinton that is a slam dunk in being biggest pervert ever.

How Fox News misled viewers about the coronavirus
As the coronavirus pandemic gripped the country over the last several weeks, television viewers — especially those supportive of President Donald Trump —- had one place they could go to for some sense of solace: Fox News.

I guess we should ignore all of this nonsense and give Trump a pass. It is only Twitter babbling after all, As long as the economy/stocks/401s are on fire, who cares what he babbles about? Oh wait.....

Yeah I cant see how anyone thinks Trump played this right.....we should have been doing what we are doing now 14 days ago....all those times he said we had nothing to worry about or that it was not a big deal will be biting him in the ass. We need test lots and lots of test, South Korea test 20k people a day the US has tested 11,000 total......sad.
The one thing he has the best shot at getting somewhat right is it getting better with the April heat. I'm crossing my fingers!

Here is a article for ya.....these are not specific to the new strain but rather coronaviruses in general....I also saw on Reddit a link that I cant find now to a Chinese study suggesting it can last up to 3 days on certain surfaces with temps will into the 90's.
How long can coronaviruses survive on surfaces?
A recent review investigates how long coronaviruses can survive outside the body; it also assesses which chemicals are most effective against the pathogen.

February 26: Trump baselessly predicts the number of US cases is “going very substantially down” to “close to zero”
March 1: Azar wrongly says 3,600 people have been tested
March 5: Trump wrongly claims the virus only hit the US “three weeks ago”
March 6: Azar wrongly claims there is no test shortage
March 6: As the number of cases and deaths in Italy rises, Trump says the number is “getting much better”
March 6: Trump falsely claims anybody can get tested if they want
In the end Trump and his admin have no real plan in place, its brutally evident that his administration is basically winging this and doing so poorly.....why is this you may ask, well here is why, this article is from May 2018.
"The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.
The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack.
Ziemer’s last day was Tuesday, the same day a new Ebola outbreak was declared in Congo. He is not being replaced."
