How is Trump Going To Play The Wuhan Coronaviruses
This is Trump desperately trying to get reelected and minimizing the damage to the financial markets. The democrat's are pressuring the president very hard with the angle he is going to bungle the coronavirus. The agency heads or mostly now the temporary heads are acting chaotically. Trump is irate with the CDC officials yesterday saying community spread is inevitable and containment might very very painful for the USA. The virus is massively spreading around Europe and throughout the world. We are deep into the presidential primaries and a democratic socialist seems to be heading for the presidential. The news media from a month ago got the coronavirus pandemic deep into our heads and the rank and file people are indifferent or numbed by our deep and prolonged crisis with a untruthful President Trump. We watched in utter awe with how China locked down 680 million people...severe containment. The Republicans seem to be holding Trump more accountable than in the past. What can't be denied in this crisis, the first tiered countries "seemed" to got the infection under control or stabilized, but the bodies are beginning to pile up on the second or third countries. Our economy is the best its been in seventy five years. The full benefits haven't reach the middle class or poor yet.

Maybe call a fake or exaggerated Wuhan Coronavirus National emergency?
But maybe that is the right thing to do in this situation.
But the real deal is everyone is going to play their selfish cards all through this.
Trump accuses ‘MSDNC’ and CNN of ‘doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible;’ lashes out at Democrats
President Trump on Wednesday attacked CNN and “MSDNC (Comcast)” — a reference to MSNBC — for “doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible.” (He misspelled coronavirus in his tweet.)
“Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape!,” Trump added.
In a separate tweet, he said he would be holding a news conference at the White House at 6 p.m. Wednesday, alongside representatives for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On Tuesday, Trump had defended his administration’s response to the coronavirus epidemic against a flurry of criticism from Democratic presidential candidates, who said in Tuesday night’s primary debate that he wasn’t doing enough to address the deadly outbreak.
“CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday.
“No matter how well we do, however, the Democrats talking point is that we are doing badly,” he wrote. “If the virus disappeared tomorrow, they would say we did a really poor, and even incompetent, job. Not fair, but it is what it is.”
The president’s tweets came as Democrats on the debate stage in South Carolina blasted the way the administration has handled the public health crisis.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ridiculed Trump’s recent unfounded assertion that the outbreak could “miraculously” subside by April — a claim that health experts say is dubious at best.
On Tuesday, Trump also downplayed the economic impact of the outbreak in the United States, even as analysts voiced concerns.

Why Nations Are All Lying About The Extent And Depth Of Coronavirus
You know, the era of the big nations competitions and the pseudo-wars by them all? Remember the crisis with the USA over us assassinating one of their high generals and Iran they getting caught lying to their people about shooting down one of their
Nineteen people have died in Iran from the novel coronavirus outbreak, Iranian Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur told state television on Wednesday.
Iran has the highest number of deaths from the coronavirus outbreak outside China. Jahanpur said the number of confirmed cases in the country now stands at 139.

Jahanpur said Iranians should cancel nonessential travel and urged people to avoid Gilan and Qom, areas of the country with lots of confirmed coronavirus cases.
The large number of novel coronavirus infections in Iran has stretched the country’s health system, already under pressure from international isolation caused by punishing U.S. sanctions.
Speaking on Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the country would bring the outbreak under control within weeks.
Rouhani emphasized that more common illnesses such as influenza kill people every year, adding that deaths from the coronavirus “are no more than influenza.”
“The point I want to emphasize is that [the] coronavirus should not become a weapon at the hand of our enemies,” Rouhani told a cabinet session, according to a transcript on his website.

coronavirus situation going to interact with the USA crisis? But the theme here is why are all nations lying about the coronavirus? They say Trump is terrified he is going to lose the election over coronavirus and a USA stock market collapse:
More than 800,000 South Koreans call for President Moon to be impeached over virusTOKYO — More than 800,000 South Koreans have signed a petition calling for President Moon Jae-in to be impeached over his handling of the coronavirus epidemic, arguing that he was more worried about currying favor with the Chinese government than curbing the spread of the disease.Moon has been widely criticized by his conservative opponents for failing to suspend travel from China, with restrictions applying only to people from the worst-affected province of Hubei and its capital, Wuhan.“The most important thing for the president of the Republic of Korea is protecting its own people. Had he thought of his fellow Koreans, he should have banned entry of visitors from all parts of China,” the petition says.The petition also criticizes Moon for sending 3 million face masks to China, while failing to address a spike in the price of masks in his own country.“Seeing Moon Jae-in’s response to the new coronavirus, I feel that he is more of a president for China than Korea,” the petition says. “We cannot just watch this catastrophe any more.”South Koreans are fond of petitions and demonstrations, but with legislative elections in April, this could mark the first time that the international coronavirus epidemic becomes an active election issue.South Korea has reported 1,146 coronavirus cases and 12 deaths, the second-highest national tally after China.
The presidential Blue House has to respond to any petition that garners more than 200,000 signatures in a month.

A faulty CDC coronavirus test delays monitoring of disease’s spread
A faulty CDC coronavirus test delays monitoring of disease’s spread
Problems with a government-created coronavirus test has limited the U.S. capacity to rapidly increase testing, just as the outbreak has entered a worrisome new phase in countries around the world.
While South Korea has run more than 35,000 coronavirus tests, the U.S. has tested only 426 people for the virus, not including people who returned on evacuation flights. Only a handful of state laboratories can currently run tests outside of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta because the CDC kits sent out nationwide a week and a half ago included a faulty component.
Currently, U.S. guidelines recommend testing for a very narrow group of people - those who display respiratory symptoms and have recently traveled to China or had close contact with an infected person.
But many public health experts believe that in light of evidence the disease can take root and spread in Singapore, South Korea, Iran, and Italy, it's time to broaden testing in the United States. The small number of U.S. cases thus far may be a reflection of limited testing, not of the virus' spread. Infectious disease experts fear that aside from the 14 cases picked up by public health surveillance, there may be other people, undetected, mixed in with colds and flu. What scares them the most is that the virus is beginning to spread locally in countries outside China, but no one knows if that's the case here, because they aren't checking.

Who Does WHO (World Health Organization) Work For
Is there a requirement the WHO takes only the betterment of the world into consideration with their decision and judgements? I mean, will a regulatory overseer come in and put the WHO officials in jail if they cater to the nation's political leaderships instead "doing good" for the whole world?Remember when Trump threatened to not fund the WHO for not following his agenda. So WHO is set up to cater to their members, not necessarily their populations Especially for the great powers who fund most of the WHO. You see how important china is to the WHO?
First City In USA Declares a Coronavirus State of Emergency
San Francisco declares local emergency amid coronavirus outbreak
AN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) — San Francisco Mayor London Breed declared a local emergency Tuesday amid the global coronavirus outbreak.
This declaration will help the city get resources they need to respond to an outbreak.
“We need to allocate more resources to make sure that we are prepared,” Breed said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “This declaration is all about preparedness.”
Three people have been treated for the coronavirus in the city. None of the patients are San Francisco residents.
Two patients from San Benito County were hospitalized in San Francisco. They have since been discharged in good health and are no longer in the city.
Another patient who tested positive for the virus was brought to the city from Travis Air Force Base, where the patient was quarantined after leaving a cruise ship.
Santa Clara County, where there are two confirmed coronavirus cases, has also declared a local emergency due to the outbreak.
“CDC On Coronavirus In USA: Disruption To Everyday life might be severe
CDC expects ‘community spread’ of coronavirus, as top official warns disruptions could be ‘severe’
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday warned that it expects the novel coronavirus that has sparked outbreaks around the world to begin spreading at a community level in the United States, as a top official said that disruptions to daily life could be “severe.”
“As we’ve seen from recent countries with community spread, when it has hit those countries, it has moved quite rapidly. We want to make sure the American public is prepared,” Nancy Messonnier, director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters.
“As more and more countries experience community spread, successful containment at our borders becomes harder and harder,” she said.
There have been 14 cases of the virus diagnosed in the U.S., all in people who traveled recently to China or their close contacts. Another 39 U.S. residents have been infected in other parts of the world before being repatriated and quarantined. But CDC officials say the country could soon see more cases as the virus starts to spread through communities in areas outside China, including Iran, South Korea, and Italy.
The CDC urged American businesses and families to start preparing for the possibility of a bigger outbreak. Messonnier said that parents should ask their children’s schools about plans for closures. Businesses should consider whether they can offer telecommuting options to their employees, while hospitals might need to look into expanding telehealth services, she said.
“Disruption to everyday life might be severe,” Messonnier said, adding that she talked to her children about the issue Tuesday morning. “While I didn’t think they were at risk right now, we as a family ought to be preparing for significant disruption to our lives.”
The CDC’s messaging seemed to be at odds with the position of the World Health Organization, which reiterated Tuesday that countries could stop transmission chains if they acted swiftly and aggressively.

While experts are still unclear how exactly these viruses are transmitted, coronaviruses such as those that caused the SARS and MERS outbreaks in years past offer clues.

Bruce Aylward, a senior WHO official who led a recent international mission to China to see how that country had dealt with Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, said the lesson from China was that the impact of the new virus can be dramatically curtailed. But countries have to be prepared to wage a full-on assault, he insisted.
“Think it’s going to be there tomorrow,” Aylward said during a briefing for journalists at WHO headquarters in Geneva. “The thing you’ve got to think is: If it hits us, we’re going to stop it. You have to think that way. I keep hearing, ‘Oh, if it hits us we just have to accept it and it’s going to spread.’ Why? You’ve lost before you’ve started.”
Messonnier said the CDC is evaluating data on measures that could be used to stem the spread of the virus, including school closures and other social distancing strategies, voluntary home quarantines, and surface cleaning methods. The CDC is using data from past flu outbreaks to study those strategies, but will tailor its recommendations for the new virus.
Messonnier said the CDC is also in conversation about whether to change the case definition that triggers a sick patient to be tested for the virus. Currently, health officials recommend testing only for people who have respiratory symptoms and have recently traveled to China, or those who have been in close contact with someone who was infected. But as community spread picks up in other countries, the case definition could change.

Malicious Big Powers Competition In the Era of Coronavirus
Why wouldn't a big power seed coronavirus into our population? We screwed up containment, now the virus got us shutting down our economy. It has got us on our knees. So in order to maintain our relative big power status and reputation, we got to intentionally weaken our competitor who maintained coronavirus containment by seeding their population with coronavirus.
What country is going to end up getting strengthened by coronavirus and what once a great country is going to permanently weakened by coronavirus.

Evidence The Chinese Coronavirus Fatality Rate Is Being Gamed.
The reason for this is the virus is so infectious and deadly it would immediately crater the world 's economy and stock market. I am betting the coronavirus fatality rate is between 25% and 50%. I would say there are two panic stages. These panic stages just might be more damaging than the virus.
Stage one panic: When the country or world first appreciates the dangerousness of a particular virus. Everyone would reorganize their lives and money for a particularly dangerous virus. Panic would set in, vast shortages of basic commodities and much business failures. The dropping dead bodies right in front of your eyes might be many months ahead.
Stage two panic: The dead bodies would tremendously increase, everyone would be terrified by the possibility of their own death or the sickness and death of their loves one. This panic would be primordial. This panic has the highest probability of societal destabilization.
These two doctors worked at a nearby hospital in Wuhan. They died helping these very sick people. I wonder how many medical buddies they seen die in recent days. What were their ages? The suspicion is why are these doctors so young. The whole world thinks the majority of the dead are the old agers such as in 80s and 90s years old.
These rock star coronavirus doctors were highly popular. They would be suspicious if they were just disappeared. So the Chinese authorities would want to release the deaths of these doctors and their infection for their own protection. The authorities are desperate to maintain their public credibility.
This is my evidence the coronavirus is killing a lot of young and middle age people. The majority of the dead people killed by the virus are rather no name people and the elderly. Nobody would care if the dead weren't added or taken off the list. This is how the whole system is artificially keeping the fatality rate low. They just aren't adding by the correct percentage the young or middle age people to the dead person list.

Military Troops Heading To The Mexican Boarder to Combat Cororavirus
This country is a prime example of a poor and poorly organized country. The drug cartels aren't going to help their country. As a result of the infections with little resources, the fatality rate and serous illness are just going to explode. The hospitals are going to instantly fill up and become overwhelmed. All they will have left is the USA to help them? What about the rest of south America?
This is the American way. Build a set of military coronavirus medical installation along the boarder. We treat all these Mexicans very good, treat, house and feed them until they are cured. Then they go back to Mexico.
We are sitting here in la-la land in the USA. Our world and nation is radically change in 6 months because of coronavirus.
