Democrats and the fake news media are using the current coronavirus outbreak to make you so scared, so terrified, that you will vote a Democrat into office in November
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." Proverbs 3:5-8 (KJB)
Now with only months till the election, they want you to think that Trump is causing the coronavirus to rain down on Americans, and the only remedy, of course, is to elect a Democrat or Communist in November. Believe it or not, the Associated Press, one of America's oldest news outlets, is calling the Democrats on their overt distortions of the truth, calling them out in the article below. Yay! Finally someone in the main stream media who is not Fox News who is actually telling the truth. Let's see how long it lasts. Trump closing borders with Mexico and cutting some trade ties in China have actually worked to keep the coronavirus out of much of America, so kudos to the president for his excellent prescient policy making.
People, listen to me, the coronavirus is real, and it is causing some deaths around the world, but it is no where near anything that could be called a pandemic or epidemic. In 2002, they said that the
West Nile Virus would kill us all, in 2004, they said that
SARS would kill us all, in 2005, they said that
Bird Flu would kill us all, in 2009, they said that
Swine Flu - H1N1 would kill us all, in 2014, they said that
Ebola would kill us all, in 2016, they said that
Zika would kill us all. Now, answer me this, did
any of these previous "most-terrifyingly deadly diseases" cause anywhere near the damage they said it would cause? No, it did not.
The Spanish Flu Outbreak of 1918, now
that was a pandemic, that was something to be afraid of,
over 50,000,000 people died of influenza that year. The coronavirus is not remotely close to that on any level. Every year in America, tens of thousands of people die from the flu, the flu is no joke and guess what? It is
more deadly that the coronavirus. Don't believe the hype, don't let the Democrats and the fake news media fake you out on this one.
If the coronavirus becomes a pandemic, it will be headlines news right here on NTEB. Until then, trust in the Lord, take your vitamins, get your rest, and drink plenty of pure water. If the Lord wants to send pestilence down on us, there will be nothing you could do about it anyway. So keep looking up!
AP FACT CHECK: Democrats distort coronavirus readiness
FROM THE AP: Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget.
He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.
A look at some of the Democrats’ remarks:
MIKE BLOOMBERG: “There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing.” — debate Tuesday night.
JOE BIDEN, comparing the Obama-Biden administration with now: “We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. ... He’s wiped all that out. ... He cut the funding for the entire effort.”
THE FACTS: They’re both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC. Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH. Instead, financing has increased.
Indeed, the money that government disease detectives first tapped to fight the latest outbreak was a congressional fund created for health emergencies.
Some public health experts say a bigger concern than White House budgets is the steady erosion of a CDC grant program for state and local public health emergency preparedness — the front lines in detecting and battling new disease. But that decline was set in motion by a congressional budget measure that predates Trump.
The broader point about there being “nobody here” to coordinate the response sells short what’s in place to handle an outbreak.
The public health system has a playbook to follow for pandemic preparation — regardless of who’s president or whether specific instructions are coming from the White House. Those plans were put into place in anticipation of another flu pandemic, but are designed to work for any respiratory-borne disease.
Among the health authorities overseeing the work are Dr. Anne Schuchat, CDC’s principal deputy director and a veteran of previous outbreaks, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIH’s infectious disease chief who has advised six presidents.
“The CDC’s response has been excellent, as it has been in the past,” said John Auerbach, president of the nonpartisan Trust for America’s Health, which works with government at all levels to improve the nation’s response to high-risk health crises. Some Democrats have charged that Trump decimated the nation’s public health leadership, but Auerbach said CDC’s top scientific ranks have remained stable during the past three years.
Will the preparations be enough?
One of the lessons learned in prior crises, such as the anthrax attacks, is not to offer false assurances when scientists have questions about the illness. The CDC, for example, can accurately test for the virus but has struggled to get working test kits to state health departments. That’s key if there’s a need to rapidly increase the number of tests being performed.
The U.S. closed borders to travelers from China to buy time as preparations began but, “classically that’s not the way you address an outbreak,” Fauci told The Associated Press this week. “If you do it for a very limited period of time, temporarily until you can get things in order in your own country, it could have some benefit. But in general, the concept of closing borders, you cannot do that for an extended period of time.”
But with infections now in much of the world, one of the questions for U.S. policymakers is whether it’s time to modify any of those border or travel restrictions.
