    Might as well, the WHO seems to move numbers as needed for psychological effect.

    Because it hasn't yet. Have you heard of the flu 'season'? Did the 1918 influenza epidemic go away? Unfortunately Trump inherited a CDC mess from Obama, like the VA.

    "However, experts said the observed COVID-19 death rate is almost certainly an overestimate.

    That’s because the only people being tested for the coronavirus are those showing symptoms of infection. There could be just as many people — and perhaps even more — who have the virus but show no signs of infection, or have symptoms so mild they were not tested.

    Yang said it’s certainly possible that the true number of people who are infected is 10 times greater than the number of people who have confirmed cases of COVID-19. In that case, the true fatality rate would be closer to 0.2%, he said."

    Not much different than the regular flu if true.

    I'm sorry. I figured my address of his donating his pay was pretty obvious.

    I am not going to give trump credit for the PR stunt that is donating a fraction of the profit he has gained from the Presidency and donated for a cause that Congress just determined should get approximately Eight Thousand Percent more money.

    Trump was right, shutting down China travel over Democratic objections did stop the flu, from that source. Most of our cases are from those who traveled to South Korea and Italy before they were known to be problem areas. I'm sure senile Plugs, if he were POTUS, would have foreseen that, right?

    No, the message is how hypocritical lefties are for picking and choosing which deaths they can make political.

    Have you stocked your bunker up yet? You sound very worried. Lock yourself in before you turn into a zombie.

    So you must be really angry that he just gave $8b of your money on top of what is already allocated for the flu 'season' to something so trivial?

    No, I think he's handling this just right, would much rather have Trump in charge than the Community Organizer. The fear of this is due to media hype.

    Hypocrisy would imply that you have some proof that "lefties" are downplaying those other threats the way that Trumpettes are downplaying the threat posed by Coronavirus.

    Let's see it.

    Remember that only .00005% of Chinese have contracted this virus. I doubt it would ever be more in the US.

    It is really too bad that the Stock Market does not share your confidence in Trump's ability to handle this crisis even though Trump has repeatedly lied about the virus, contradicted health experts, downplayed the threat posed by the virus, and bragged about the "benefits" created by the virus.

    So if Plugs was POTUS, the DJIA would be at 29,000? Well, no it wouldn't.
