At the same time Trump was calling the virus concerns a hoax, a key US senator was telling a private business group that things would get bad
That same day President Trump was telling the American people   "It's going to disappear. One day, like a miracle, it could disappear.

On Feb 27 Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was telling a private North Carolina business group 

"One thing I can tell you about this, it is much more aggressive, in terms of transmission, than anything we have seen in recent history. It's probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."

That same day President Trump was telling the American people  

"It's going to disappear. One day, like a miracle, it could disappear. From our shores , it could get worse before it gets better, it could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. 

The next day, Feb 28, Trump told the American people that the virus concern was a Democratic hoax. 

"Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. "

========================================================================

Richard Burr has expertise on pandemics.

The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019 (S. 1379) was introduced in the Senate by Richard Burr on  May 8, 2019 . On May 15, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions passed the bill by unanimous consent.

Richard Burr didnt tell the people of this country or his own state that the situation would get bad, he told a private business group of supporters. 

Burr seems to have known, through his understanding of pandemics as the chairman of the Senate committee that deals with that topic, what the situation was. But the president of the United States did not.  Trump wanted to put the topic under the carpet.

Trump, Liar in Chief, had made light of the entire affair until Monday's speech. HIS economy, as he has ALWAYS stated, was going to take a serious hit, so rather than accept it, as thinking people KNOW it's not actually all his fault, as presidents can  only impact the economy so much, he chose to LIE, as usual, so as to downplay the seriousness of the Corona Virus. Advising the opposite of what the Experts were saying. 

Now he claims he knew it was a pandemic befoew WHO ...

i'm thinking Cindi Lew told him.

Cindy Lew Who from WHOville.

Then, as his Hands grew 10 times the size of his 100 size too small pair, finally grew,

a pear, and stated the Truth for once, leaving him attempting

to show that he truly did care, while i don't

Be leave he does.

Based on your comment, you clearly didn't actually READ the Feb. 7th Op/Ed. 

Burr 'clearly' had some pretty high expectations of HHS's preparedness and competency. In hindsight, I can't imagine that he or Alexander would say that the HHS has lived up to it's mandate. 

Here is an interesting statement from the Op/Ed:

PAHPA created the position of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at HHS so there is no question whose responsibility it is to ensure our country is ready to respond to these types of emergencies.

GREAT! Now we know who's is responsible for this debacle. Of course, nobody in the general public knows who the fuck he is nor has any of us seen this guy in any of the press conferences that they've held.

This was in an op ed from Burr on Feb. 7th. 

Americans are rightfully concerned about the coronavirus -- there are 12 confirmed cases of this new infectious disease in the United States, and the ability of the virus to rapidly spread in China, where it has infected more than 24,300 people and left 491 dead, is alarming.

From the team of "Experts" - the CDC -

U.S. Influenza cases 10/1/19 - 3/19/20 -  Affected - 36,000,000 - 51,000,000; deaths - 22,000 - 55,000

Coronavirus cases 10/1/19 - 3/19/20 - Affected - 8,317; deaths - 140

Quite a bit of difference, ya think?

Since I've already had the flu for six weeks - I ain't too worried.

Actually 1st... You should be more concerned now after having the flu.  Your immune system is being taxed, and might bring less than it's best if it had to fight a war on two fronts.

Secondly, there are viral treatments for most strains of flu and your body has some previous immunity to fight it.  (the fact that having it for six weeks, and you're still functioning supports my point.)  

This is a new virus, and nobody has an immunity to it from what I understand.  Secondly, and most critical is that it has a respiratory facet that can become viral pneumonia that seems to be deadly.

I'd like to think you're going to be here to keep calling me a liberal-pinko, and if I can help in your clarity of thought to accomplish that my friend, then I will.  

Think about it, screw the political talking points, stay smart like I know your are, and stay healty!

Fly my friend - as usual, great points.

But, you know I always like to look outside the envelope, so here's another caveat.  Went to my Cardiologist last Friday to see when I needed to be scheduled for my annual nuclear stress test and 90 minute CT chest scan.  I hate going to this person - and I also love it - 'cause there's always "something else" that needs to be done.

Well, after the EKG, a lot of chest pounding/listening and pulse taking, she sat back in her chair with a very, very strong look of disbelief.  I looked at her and said "wassup" and she just shook her head.  "Ya know W2, you amaze and concern me.  You are in remarkably good condition considering what we've put you through.  That being said, I don't wanna see you for another year and that'll be just for an office visit.  Concerned?  How did you survive your attack and how have you survived the flu for six weeks?  Also, keep doing that golf thingy like you are 'cause, obviously, it's helping."

Told her it's 'cause I'm Chickasaw and we just don't quit and that I've never made a hole-in-one, to which she gave out a huge belly laugh.  "Well, keep it up and we'll see ya next year."

With fingers crossed and bow at the ready - gonna be here to piss a lotta folks on NT off for a long time and to keep our wonderful banter continually flowing.

Thanks Fly.

I posted something yesterday that stated that the coronavirus was first detected in the US in mid January, so from then to now, with 150 deaths, it is averaged at 2.5 deaths a day.

In contrast, the flu started in August. With that in mind, there have been an estimated 10000 deaths from then to early February, an estimated 230 days. The DAILY death rate of the flu virus is about 50 people.

A big difference,.

I think he needs to do 2 things. 1. Look at his own actions and when he first took action and 2. He should go to Cuomo first before he cries about fed help.

From the Op/Ed:

The work of Congress and the administration has allowed U.S. public health officials to move swiftly and decisively in the last few weeks.

SURE IT DID. 

All of these steps are part of the response framework Congress has put in place to ensure we are prepared for disease outbreaks and other public health threats.

Obviously it DID NOT ensure that we were prepared. 

Through PAHPA, Congress also gave HHS additional authorities to prioritize funding for the development of vaccines for new diseases and bolster our network of doctors, nurses, and medical professionals so that they are ready to respond to any scenario. And we improved the Public Health Emergency Fund to ensure those on the frontlines have quicker access to funds they need.

Demonstrably FALSE. 

No matter the outbreak or threat, Congress and the federal government have been vigilant in identifying gaps in its readiness efforts and improving its response capabilities.

Ya, that's why Trump told governors to procure ventilators on their own and why nurses and doctors are using makeshift masks. 

The public health preparedness and response framework that Congress has put in place and that the Trump Administration is actively implementing today is helping to protect Americans. 

Today's CDC update: Total cases: 10,442 Total deaths: 150

Over the years, this framework has been designed to be flexible and innovative so that we are not only ready to face the coronavirus today but new public health threats in the future.

Then whoever 'designed' it should be shot.

FACT CHECK: DID TRUMP CALL THE CORONAVIRUS A ‘HOAX’ AT HIS SOUTH CAROLINA RALLY?

Politico published an  article  claiming President Donald Trump called the novel coronavirus a “hoax” at his Feb. 28 campaign rally in South Carolina.

Verdict: False

Trump referred to the alleged “politicizing” of the coronavirus by Democrats as “their new hoax.” He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. Throughout the speech, Trump reiterates his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously.

What's True

During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax."

During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.

What's False

Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

The thing to remember the next time you listen to Trump speak is: He is doing this "Alt-Right" concept of being conservatively nasty, crude, and rude crafed with a line of plausible deniability.

It's a type of game Trump and his ALT Right conservatives partners are comfortable playing. He makes wildly stupid and outrageous statements and when the words are parsed, he always insist that the  "other" innocuous meaning is the correct way to process his statements..Trump does it all the time, which are why his speeches are always mealymouthed and excessively wordy.

Pretty much what Trump said today when the only name he could remember was Diane Feinstein (D) whose assets are in a blind trust.  Her husband made lots of trades recently.

Imahofe (R) says he never attended the Senate briefing and doesn't manage his stock portfolio.

Burr (R) (the fiercest opponent of the Stock Act of 2012) and his wife dumped 33 stocks.

Loeffler (R) a former international Exchange executive who is married to the current head of the New York Stock Exchange dumped $3million worth of stocks, potentially exposing both herself and her husband to regulatory and criminal investigations.

stating that they were all smart and honorable people...
