New flash from that news conference -

Toilet paper is not an effective deterrent to prevent getting COVID-19. And that comment got a laugh from the reporters!

Far and away, the Republicans and Fox News most definitely have a vastly superior lie-producing-network-machine in place...HOWEVER...the Democrats are working very hard to catch up. This is a veritable BULLSHIT ARMS RACE with no truth too small to bend, twist, distort, or deceive Americans.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, made an unproven claim on Twitter saying that it might be the US military who “brought the epidemic to Wuhan”, the epicentre of the pandemic. Zhao also shared articles from a conspiracy website suggesting that the coronavirus originated in the US rather than in China.

Meanwhile, over at Whole Foods, the rich people seem to be stripping the place bear. Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but whole sections of aisles are pretty much cleared out. Paper towels, water, cleaning supplies, and of course toilet paper lead the way.

And hardly any chicken left!

Oh. The horror.

Now we clone viruses, by taking a generic copy and simply mutating it, lol @mat200
National State of Emergency, like that's going to cause panic. Never thought consumers were that vulnerable. Oh wait, they always were :lol:

The most difficult thing to do is keeping an N95 respirator on. Employee contracts the virus, tests positive, and all you can do is wear an N95 mask for precaution and hope that you're not infected. The reaction from others is hysterical. Don't you know that I'm protecting "us" :facepalm:

Whole world is going to freak out when they find out President Trump is immune to the virus :D He likely washed hands following CDC guidelines and common sense

FYI - Trump just called a National Emergency.

Highly recommend listening to the press conference.

Drive by testing - checked.

Oil industry support - checked.. buying oil for national reserve
I caught the latter part when Pence was talking. While I hate him with a passion, he is an effective and intelligent speaker. However listening to him praise the president the way he did makes me feel that Pence needs to learn to breathe through his own toenails because he is so far up Trump's butt.

China should know that pointing fingers at the US government can spell all-out war. Both sides better not escalate this and work on remedying the problem. Eventually somebody is going to be held accountable. Researcher at the lab disappeared and the doctor whistle-blower dies from the virus. :facepalm:
This thing could have been prevented just like 9/11.

Scientists at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne have grown the novel coronavirus from a patient sample, which they plan to share internationally under advice from the World Health Organization to provide data to fight the virus. The virus has also been grown in cell culture in China, but the breakthrough in Melbourne will allow accurate investigation and diagnosis of the virus globally. The project comes from a collaboration between the Royal Melbourne Hospital and The University of Melbourne


Take the following video with a grain of salt. Unless proven, the following video is an example of a conspiracy

My politics don't matter (but I'm centrist if you care, by today's standards I'm a democrat), but did you LISTEN to Pence gush? It was nauseous by any standard. I would say the same about a democratic toadie.

This sucked Zhao, most specialists here said wuhan is the original place of this virus, he said it's from US. They always have fake news, most people here never trust them. Actually Chinese experts are working with US experts for the virus. Right now the most important part is to control the spreading all over the world, if not control well, the virus will be back to China again. Good news Trump announced National Emergency, people will pay real attention to this virus, so that is why the US stock market rebound 1900 points! Don't be too nervous, life will go on.
