Yep. This may be the first crisis handled by his administration, and after years and years of lying, it's going to be hard to believe anything that comes out of them. As morbid as it is, maybe this will be the one thing that can prevent his reelection?Well, if Trump's goal was to settle the markets down, it apparently has been an abject failure. He queered his own news conference by contradicting his "experts" by reasserting sorta kinda that there would be no more new cases.
Let's face it folks this is the consequence of lying about almost anything at the pettiest level. No one believes the fucker.
Honestly I don't even think it'll be the virus itself that'll do it (unless he contracts it himself and dies, of course). It's the market collapsing that'll sink him.Yep.

Agreed, that's what I meant by extension.Honestly I don't even think it'll be the virus itself that'll do it (unless he contracts it himself and dies, of course). It's the market collapsing that'll sink him.
That's what happens when you chain yourself to a golden anchor.
- Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed "the coronavirus is the common cold" and argued that the Democratic Party "poses a far greater threat" to the country than the virus does.
- Fox News primetime host Laura Ingraham claimed 2020 Democratic candidates "are either hoping for misery or actually peddling it."
- President Donald Trump has spread misleading claims about the coronavirus' potential trajectory and death rate.
Coverage like this.Right wing propaganda machine will be working overtime. Let's see Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Trump vs the CDC. I'm going with the CDC.
Rush Limbaugh and Fox News' Laura Ingraham are denying the coronavirus risk in an attempt to protect Trump

You should get out more often and read the news. Hillary was right about public vs private face.
Trump is 'furious' about bungling Diamond Princess coronavirus evac
Trump had been told last Saturday that only evacuees who didn't have symptoms or positive test results would be allowed on State Department charter planes back to the US from Japan.www.dailymail.co.uk
Wouldn't that suck, seeing a Trump rally with a tiny attendance because of the virus...lol. Low ratings and the Stock Market drop, his worst nightmare.And, come to think of it, a Trump rally would be a great place to spread it around, what with all the foaming at the mouth & spittle flying everywhere.
how many goppers over 65?
like...80% of them?
100% go for it....You know if the Dems wanted to play the same game as the GOP (they shouldn’t) they could target an attack ad at areas with high concentrations of conservative seniors. (They shouldn’t )
but if they did....

Who do you believe? Trump administration and the right wing media or the CDC?
This is pretty clearly the intent. Info will still leak and governors can say whatever they want so ultimately it will be futile as bad news gets out. I don’t think this admin can do a lot more to damage it’s credibility but they’re sure going to give it the old college try.
The absence of reliable info could create a much worse situation than the virus itself.
Some people learn the hard way.Yep. This may be the first crisis handled by his administration, and after years and years of lying, it's going to be hard to believe anything that comes out of them. As morbid as it is, maybe this will be the one thing that can prevent his reelection?
Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services sent more than a dozen workers to receive the first Americans evacuated from Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, without proper training for infection control or appropriate protective gear, according to a whistleblower complaint.
The workers did not show symptoms of infection and were not tested for the virus, according to lawyers for the whistleblower, who is a senior HHS official based in Washington who oversees workers at the Administration for Children and Families, a unit within HHS.
The whistleblower is seeking federal protection because she alleges she was unfairly and improperly reassigned after raising concerns about the safety of these workers to HHS officials, including those within the office of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. She was told Feb. 19 that if she does not accept the new position in 15 days, which is March 5, she would be terminated.
The whistleblower has decades of experience in the field, received two HHS department awards from Azar last year, and has received the highest performance evaluations, her lawyers said.
The complaint was filed Wednesday with the Office of the Special Counsel, an independent federal watchdog agency. The whistleblower’s lawyers provided a copy of a redacted 24-page complaint to The Washington Post. A spokesman for the Office of the Special Counsel said he could not comment on complaints filed with the office.
The complaint alleges that HHS staff were “improperly deployed” and were “not properly trained or equipped to operate in a public health emergency situation.” The complaint also alleges that the workers were potentially exposed to coronavirus because appropriate steps were not taken to protect them, and staff were not trained in wearing personal protective equipment, even though they had face-to-face contact with returning passengers. The workers were in contact with passengers in an airplane hangar where evacuees were received and on two other occasions: when they helped distribute keys for room assignments and hand out colored ribbons for identification purposes.
Aaaaaand we have our first HHS whistleblower seeking federal protection because she was reassigned when bringing up concerns.
I'm actually amazed at how quickly this is spinning out of control for the Administration...but really should I be??/
Uncontrolled news is fake news, can't have that.Aaaaaand we have our first HHS whistleblower seeking federal protection because she was reassigned when bringing up concerns.
