re: They should have just called it the Wuhan Flu

Seems to me Sakevirus would be a more appropriate name. Coronavirus sounds like something that originated in Mexico.
Anyway I agree the media's sensationalism is over the top yet again, it's a shame that they can't be depended on to give accurate, responsible information, they could be a positive asset if they only would.

Trump did what every other leader (trudeau, boris, macron, conte, etc) has done- created a task force and delegated authority to epidemiologists and those who know this stuff.
I don't want a president leading the efforts. I want someone who has a background in this stuff.

But can you catch it from all the dead bodies?
I'm still not finished moving all the dead bodies -still with no help- and the last thing I need is to catch the China Flu on top of it...

Yes. TDS is a world wide problem.

Here are some reactions to that pick
quote:
Birx, 63, a medical doctor and retired Army colonel, was appointed to her ambassador’s post under President Barack Obama -- and that’s usually enough to doom someone’s career in the Trump administration. But it’s a measure of her stature, and her political savvy, that she’s been elevated to a central role in the current administration’s response to a public health crisis.
“Her reputation is stellar,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development. She’s a natural choice, he said, “if you’re looking to try to bring a competent steady hand into this process and someone with a proven track record on global health matters.”
I am sick and tired of you acting like you ever were going to give trump a chance on this response. you were likely on here in early jan bitching that he was being too rash with the china travel bans.

Not only her but they have a doctor, forgot his name that was part of bush and Obama’s admin. He handled the anthrax, Ebola outbreaks as well.
Nothing wrong with the folks on the team. They have the right group.
Now CDC is another story.

The main difference between this and the flu, dipshit, is this disease has the best PR guys in the world.
and I know that a virus and the flu are technically 2 different things, but the effects are the same.

Where the frick is our leadership with programs like that. What happens to venders and small businesses for things like SXSW around Austin now that its off, that's 350M of lost revenue.

Airline stocks including Delta (NYSE:DAL), American (NASDAQ:AAL), and United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) turned sharply higher in Friday afternoon trading. The reason:
The Trump Administration may "consider deferring taxes for the cruise, travel and airline industries to stem the economic fallout of the coronavirus," according to a report from The Washington Post
