There is a lot of hysteria on here that is not truthful. We do not have “millions” infected at this time. If we did - with 279 dead - this illness would be far less lethal than the average flu. The current death rate here is just above 1% now, and as we diagnose milder cases being missed, it is going to be far less than that. It is serious and we are dealing with it, but pulling figures out of your ass is decidedly unhelpful.

The whole nation will implode in a manner of weeks because of orange man...

Take away NY and Washington, the number of coronavirus deaths in this country would be quite low.

The only way to get tested in Washington is to die from it. I guess all the tests are going to the East Coast.

I’ve joked he could cure cancer and some would be mad. Little did I know ....

Take away the first places to get hit and our most populated area, and the numbers drop.

Jees, who would have guessed?

C'mon man.

Please stop your nonsense. This is not about the President.

dude come on. He didn’t call the virus itself a hoax. The point he was trying to make may of been wrong however

“They tried anything,” said Trump about a minute after his first mention of the coronavirus. “They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.”

Their = Democrats
This = ????

Use your ****ing heads.

Washington state is not at the top of the list for most populated areas in the US. There are more populated areas that have not been hit as hard. Likely these places are the ports of entry for folks coming from China. The point i am making is we have done a good job containing this virus mainly to these areas.

Brady would be embarrassed his name is being used to post this nonsense.

Yes we do, we just don't have the testing to document it. We have 17,000 confirmed so far. The reason that doubled every couple of days is both from continued spreading as well as testing more people. If you could push a button and test the whole 325 million Americans this afternoon, those results would be over 1 million without question, maybe 5x that. The deaths will follow, and hopefully they will be < 1%, but again nobody really knows that, they just know it's more lethal than any pandemic virus in the past hundred years.

I am ... and the made-up statistics bandied about here are appalling. This will get worse and there will be more deaths, but saying 10 million will die is flat out stupid. With a death rate of 1% for everyone who gets it (and it will be far less than that), we would have to be a country of 1 billion people and EVERYONE would have to get it.

Have you heard what people are saying across the Country? Doctors, nurses, firemen, EMS, you name it, the same story over and over again: not enough tests, not enough masks, running out of supplies, etc.

The people on the front lines are being asked to be heroes with no protection. This is 9-11 cleanup all over again. Those poor firefighters had to fight for decades for help.

We are, it's not hard to intrepet this. "Their hoax"(Anrgy Democrats) is not the same as "It's a hoax" (The Virus). Whew Lad.

The deaths the last 3 days have been 54, 57 and 45. This is not a disease that takes a month to kill you. If we had 5 million infected and the death rate was 1%, there would be way more than 279 deaths.

It's about the performance of the president since this crisis began in January, not about all his previous BS. You could've hated all that he did prior to 2020, but all would've been forgiven if he rose to the occasion on this. On the other hand, you could've loved all that he did prior to 2020, but if you still love him now after this pathetic response, then you need to look in the mirror and decide wtf makes you such a blind follower.

Counter-proposal, you head to Breitbart to post foolish "information" like the rest of 'em.
