Trump's message

Thank you for the correction

Vampirequeen I’ve just been for a walk which included passing a field of sheep. There was one in particular that had a very suspicious look in his eye, as though he was just biding his time to launch a coup. ???

The BBC have an article about Trumps handling of the situation.

Not at all complimentary, in fact it shreds him.

Don’t panic, Trump is always right, he said so on the news the other night. At least half the American population agree with him. So no need to worry, we’ve got our best man, president of the most successful country in the world, on the case!!! ?

I want to correct my statement 15.03

Evidence seems to suggest that the virus SARS CoV-2 causing covid-19 has the same infection rate as

SARS
Seasonal Influenza
Ebola.

The issue is that unlike flu where there are various levels of immunity in the general population, no one has any immunity against this new virus, and it has not yet been established exactly how long any immunity will be effective.

Yes, this is much more infectious than flu.

Flu doesn't spread as quickly-

Flu occurs over the course of a season, many can be saved when health systems aren't overwhelmed-

During a pandemic many become sick all at once, health systems become overwhelmed, including the health workers themselves, and many are unable to be saved-

About 8000 people die of normal seasonal flu in the UK every year. The NHS is always saying it can't cope every winter. Nothing we haven't heard before. You can check the statistics on official websites, in fact, 2013 -14 was an especially bad year and about 13,000 died.

The world didn't close down then, are we going to do this every year now when someone gets the first cough after Christmas? .....or before Christmas, maybe it's a plot to get rid of Christmas! Now there's a new case of flu in China caused someone eating a rat, apparently. It sounds like the animals fighting back to me, and about time too, to get rid of the humans who treat them so badly.

VQ you should be more concerned about cows, those black and white patches are the equivalent of bar codes, and denote rank.

I've always been very suspicious of sheep. They stand there in the fields and on the moors pretending to be thick but really they're only biding their time and waiting for the right moment to rise up and take over the world.

Actually, my cats run the world. ?.

Well, they run this household so I don’t think running the world would phase them.

Who runs the world? Is it world leaders, the Biderbeck group, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, aliens or someone/something else?

I agree with ananimous that when push comes to shove the rich and powerful will survive and the rest of us can go whistle.

They have removed "gullible" from the dictionary.

Conspiracy zone

Do you honestly think that world leaders, politicians, run the world unan?

Fasten your seat belts...

Boris/Trump/all world leaders = VIPs
Us = Expendable

Welcome to the world.

He is seriously deranged
There is definitely signs of dementia there but I think he is very short tempered and his advisers are afraid of him
I wouldn't trust anything he says

I heard Trump say this was "very, very bad" a couple of days ago and now he seems to be saying that all will be okay and back to normal quite soon. It's clear that economically it is already quite bad and that it is heading toward " very very bad" . People are losing their businesses and incomes and governments are having to step in. Currencies are struggling and the stock markets have nose dived. Yes the road to recovery will in every likelihood be a long and hard one. There appears to be a question here that is the elephant in the room: what price do you put on a life (lives) and is there a consideration as to an apparent value of some and little value of others? Who is expendable? My answer is nobody.

vampirequeen has Mr Trump got a Granny? Do you think she might join GN ? Or is that just Fake News

We've been doing that here but it wasn't enough hence we're on lockdown. The BBC said that Georgia and Alabama aren't even pushing hand washing and distancing.

I think our state governor addressed this latest Trump pivot gracefully- He said he shares the presidents frustation, that he would also like to see America quickly back on its feet economically, but he said that simply can't happen without putting the safety of the people first-

Perhaps governors will band together- 21 states thus far have lockdown type orders in place- I anticipate more will do the same- Although some may be on the same page as Trump and think this will all blow over by Easter-

Birx is weighing heavily on personal responsibility, washing of hands, staying 6 feet away from people and washing surfaces- And she's his medical talking head now ..

Trump caused the financial crash not Covid19?
Some peeeps gone stir crazy already.
Orange man bad.

Nothing that comes out of that mouth is trustworthy
