    Title Con really needs some edumication.

    Start with this...
    https://www.livescience.com/new-coro...-with-flu.html

    Here is a key paragraph...

    “That said, scientists have studied seasonal flu for decades. So, despite the danger of it, we know a lot about flu viruses and what to expect each season. In contrast, very little is known about the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, dubbed COVID-19, because it's so new. This means COVID-19 is something of a wild card in terms of how far it will spread and how many deaths it will cause.”

    Covid-19 by all estimates has a higher fatality rate than the Flu, and also a larger R0 value (capacity to infect people).

      Once the CDC screwed up not once , not twice , but three times , states were put in a position for first time in history to have to do it themselves .

      Then the FDA bottlenecks it. Why? They want private labs to profit from their snafu and DONT want PUBLIC labs getting involved

      Disaster capitalism at its worst
      The US was a afforded but squandered a multi week lead time to develop and get tests ready

        More hospitalizations and acute care needed too

          I don’t want to rain on Trump’s party further, but the promise of a vaccine ....ever ... assumes facts not in evidence.

          There isn’t a lot of success with vaccines for coronaviruses. Let’s start with the “common” cold which is typically caused by any one of four strains of coronaviruses. Is there yet a vaccine?

          We stopped work on the SARS vaccine. SARS is a coronavirus

          MERS (another coronavirus) vaccine started a phase 1 trial last July. No idea how it’s doing but that vaccine still not commercially available and not sure it will be

          Lot of happy talk about a vaccine in a “year or year and a half”

          Even IF that happens, vaccine will only be available for high risk people for some time while global production of vaccine ramps up.

          Yikes

            I believe the assay used by WHO, developed by German scientists, has been available since Jan 25. We decided to go it alone though

              Trump thought banning travel from China would protect us. At best it bought a little time, but as discussed it was wasted.

                Have you finally accepted that COVID-19 is the disease and SARS-CoV-2 is the virus? Did you go back to school for some remedial education?

                  It did. It bought time to be prepared.

                  What do you think Bernie or Biden would have done? Made a case for open borders? We know UpChuck Schumer was making a case against shutting down travel from China.

                      Taxpayer-funded museum director resigns after hoping Republican voters die

                      https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...Q06qANBhpCYL3A

                      The director of a Texas museum partially funded by taxpayers has resigned following backlash from a Facebook post where she called Republican voters “pieces of ****” and wished them dead.

                      “I hope every single one of you pieces of **** that votes Republican, dies today,” Melonnie Hicks, executive director of the Pioneer City County Museum in Sweetwater, Texas, wrote on Facebook on Super Tuesday, according to KTXS 12 News.

                          The Dow Jones Industrial Poll is showing that there will be fewer Republicans very soon!

                            Kudlow was slurring this morning when he told us to avoid Seattle.

                            Some leadership. Drunk caves to pressure and starts drinking in the job.

                              RCP Trump approval went to -8.1 from -7.7 overnight.

                              Wasn’t Title Con recently crowing that Trump reached a high water mark here at ...was it -4.7 ?

                              Cons may have been correct when they said stock market most important trump poll as BOTH are currently in free fall.
