The coronavirus is Trump’s Chernobyl—a growing catastrophe in which the government response is deadly because Trump is more worried about protecting the myths that define his alternative reality than protecting vulnerable people who will die. My column: LINK

Obviously the scale of the coronavirus outbreak is not as devastating as Chernobyl (yet). The analogy is that catastrophic risk is being downplayed by leaders; objective facts are being twisted to support the leader’s favored myths; and the crucial early phase was squandered.

The more they make these absurd comments, the more it becomes evident that they’re overhyping the Coronavirus in hopes that it will become an economic catastrophe.

Among the millions on the left looking for something to hang on Trump and finally get him. Actively rooting against America and our citizens.

And yet the CDC keeps reminding people that flu has killed more this year than the coronavirus. 12,000 in the US alone. But, yes, the coronavirus is the worst virus out there now.

The Dems said the same thing about Reagan inventing AIDS to kill the gays and crack to kill the blacks. It didn't prevent his re-election.

FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE ARE SICK.

More people attend a midweek softball game at Louisiana Tech than are sick with this in the entire country.

I wouldnt worry if 500 people in my county had it muchless the entire USA.

These people are dirtbags. They've been trying to sack this President for 3 years and will use anything they can to do it with. It's just a nonstop onslaught propaganda machine by bitter morons who didn't get their way in the 2016 election.
