Exactly what did Trump do to try to hurt "Average Joes" in the market?

Be serious.

 

I already told you multiple times. He downplayed the virus and it's potential effects until the multi-national investment firms had time to sell off and basically steal away average joe's profits that it took 15 years to build. 

After those folks made their sell off, he came clean days later. By then the blind followers that didn't believe any of the media stories were stuck. Period.

Is that what Larry O'Donnell told you?

All the hysteria in the press and all the attacks on the president on most of the MSM, and all the average joes based their investment decisions on Trump and had no other side to the story to take into account?

That's your story? 🤣

Nope, I came up with that on my own as I listened to Michael Osterholm on the podcast with Joe Rogan before Trump ever changed his tune yet. I'm pretty swift on picking up on facts when they're presented. 

Who the hell is Larry O'Donnel anyway?

I think it's one of the better ones for sure. 

I know it flies in the face of all your bullshit, but, hey, sorry to burst your bubbles. 

Osterholm gives the timeline directly during that podcast. He sounded the alarm on Jan. 20th about this virus and it's effects. 

On the Friday before the largest sell off in years and years, he gave a speech to the investment firms. 

At the same time, Trump is singing sweet nothings to the general public's ears about the market. 

The investment firms armed with inside knowledge from Osterholm have their sell off on Monday. Your god king finally gets honest with John Q. Public later in the week. 

 

 

That's a much better conspiracy theory than the entire world is conspiring to sink your god king. You know, the one floating on here for weeks already. If I'm not mistaken, you were in on that one until god king finally got honest.

You don't "burst my bubbles" at all.

That crap was laughable.

Sounds like your new idol Osterholm is a fucking asshole and should have done the right thing and given speeches on the major networks. You know... looking out for Joe Average. Since there was no other information than Trump speeches for information on the radio, tv, newspapers, online...right?  Just Osterholm andTrump.

🤣

Not at all.

You appear to believe them. I'm trying to work with you here, Hawg. 👍

The major networks reach some 10x the folks that Fox does.

Throw in the major newspapers here and around the globe, myriad internet sources...

But your story is that average joe only listens to Trump and he was running cover for Wall Street the whole time.  🤣

Brilliant.

 

And your personal hero Osterholm appears to have been working with the bad guys AGAINST joe average.  👍

You might want to think things through again.

Seriously.

I actually found something worth checking out. Something hopeful about this bullshit virus in a sea of doom and gloom...

 

 

Two scientists from Australia say they have found a cure for coronavirus, according to the Daily Mail.

The researchers at the University of Queensland in Brisbane revealed that drugs used for HIV and malaria patients are working on experimental patients with COVID-19 infections and it seems to be wiping out the virus in those patients.

The two drugs are Chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, and HIV-suppressing combination lopinavir/ritonavir.

 

The scientists caution that it’s early in the findings.

The coronavirus has infected more than 189,000 people around the world with more than 7,500 dying.

One of the researchers is Professor David Paterson, who hopes to enroll more people in larger pharmaceutical trials by the end of the month.

'It’s a potentially effective treatment," he said. “Patients would end up with no viable coronavirus in their system at all after the end of the therapy.”

The treatment has worked in a smattering of cases, but more controlled testing would be needed to see if the drugs are in fact game-changers in finding a cure.

“That first wave of Chinese patients we had (in Australia), they all did very, very well when they were treated with the HIV drug,” Professor Paterson said. “What we want to do at the moment is a large clinical trial across Australia, looking at 50 hospitals, and what we’re going to compare is one drug, versus another drug, versus the combination of the two drugs.”

I trust the Governors and Mayors who are working 24/7 on it....I trust the front line personnel busting their ass and being honest with the public.

This administration has done nothing but lie, deflect, and BS the American people from Day 1 concerning the coronavirus. They have already failed and you see those repercussions today.

Now this pathetic scumbag starts to backpedal, now that he sees even some of his usual supporters are calling him out on his hope that the president will fail, even at the expense of the country and people's lives.

Easily the most despicable poster on this forum.

Exactly! And yet leftists on this board continue to fault Trump for (as they say) "downplaying the virus." I agree that he did downplay it. It's called calming the people, and attempting to counter the non-stop Chicken Little hysteria coming from the MSM and the Dems.

Can’t remember which one of you liberal assholes that start with H, tried to argue this virus couldn’t go 6 ft! Now the “scientists“ are saying it stays airborne for hours! It’s either they are lying to create panic or you’re an idiot!!! “Believe the science!”

So what happened?

Why did Trump and other Republicans change their stance on the seriousness of the threat and how to manage it?

 https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/carlson-felt-obligation-meet-trump-virus-69675590

NEW YORK -- Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson says he felt a “moral obligation” to meet with President Donald Trump and warn him personally about the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic.

Carlson told Vanity Fair that “I didn't feel it was my role” but was convinced by his wife to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on March 7. Two nights later on his Fox show, he issued a pointed warning to viewers to prepare for the coming storm.

It speaks to both Fox News' influence with the president and his supporters that a cable news host was able to contact the White House and successfully request the two-hour meeting. Carlson drove to the president's resort from his Florida home, ironically on the day some guests at Mar-a-Lago were exposed to the virus.

Will coronavirus survive airborne? How long does it last on surfaces? Are men more likely to die? Burning questions on COVID-19

By Quentin Fottrell

Published: Mar 18, 2020 9:28 pm ET

 

 

 

 

As stock markets plunge and airlines wonder how they will stay viable, some outlandish rumors about COVID-19 still persist

Some outlandish rumors about COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus SARS-CoV-2, still persist, and continue to percolate on the internet: To some, it’s a dastardly bioweapon designed to wreak economic armageddon on the West; a left-wing conspiracy to damage the reelection prospects of President Trump; a virus that leaked from a Wuhan laboratory.

Such paranoid speculation is at the very least unhelpful, health professionals say, and only serves to politicize a global public-health emergency and distract from potentially life-saving measures to contain and/or slow the spread of coronavirus. After reportedly jumping from animals to humans at a food market in Wuhan, China in early December or before.

Conspiracy theories politicize a public-health emergency and distract from potentially life-saving measures.

 

As the world struggles to come to terms with the prospect of COVID-19 changing the way we socialize and work, people are left wondering whether the financial markets have had a massive overreaction to yet another virus that will eventually fizzle out, or whether it’s time to buckle down and heed warnings of the disease’s seriousness issued by governments and health authorities.

Here, MarketWatch breaks down the facts and fiction of the global pandemic:

Is coronavirus airborne like measles?

Airborne transmission is “plausible,” according to a study published in the print edition in the peer-reviewed The New England Journal of Medicine this week from scientists at Princeton University, UCLA and the National Institutes of Health. The researchers concluded that the virus could remain airborne for “up to 3 hours post aerosolization.”

The scientists found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the new disease COVID-19, was detectable in the air for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. For those reasons, officials recommend washing hands, cleaning surfaces and “social distancing” in public spaces.

“You would need to touch contaminated secretions to become infected, or to be within six feet of a sick person who is coughing or sneezing,” said Luis Ostrosky, vice chairman of internal medicine at McGovern Medical School in Houston. “Studies have looked at how far spit and little droplets fly, and that’s the magic number.”

How long can it live in your bathroom?

“It’s not certain how long the virus that causes Coronavirus survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses,” the World Health Organization said. “Studies suggest that coronaviruses — including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus — may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days.”

Higher temperatures, based on earlier coronaviruses, are likely to degrade it. But experts caution that — as spring arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, which usually marks the end of the traditional flu season — this novel coronavirus may not necessarily go away in warmer weather. It is from a different family of viruses than the flu, and it is highly contagious.

Its life span will also vary, depending on the type of surface, temperature and/or humidity. Bathrooms are a welcoming environment for coronaviruses. “Previous coronaviruses can remain viable in cold, moist surfaces up to nine days,” Ostrosky said. So if you are sharing a home with someone who has coronavirus, he strongly advises against sharing the same bathroom.

President Trump speaks in an address to the nation from the Oval Office at the White House on Wednesday. He announced a suspension in travel from Europe to the U.S.

Will recirculated air on a plane make me sick?

In-flight oxygen is probably of higher quality than the air in your home. “If you have an infected person in the front of the plane, and you’re in the back of the plane, your risk is close to zero simply because the area of exposure is thought to be roughly six feet from the infected person,” according to Charles Chiu, professor of laboratory medicine at University of California, San Francisco.

 

“Ventilation rates provide a total change of air 20 to 30 times per hour,” the WHO says. “Most modern aircraft have recirculation systems, which recycle up to 50% of cabin air. The recirculated air is usually passed through HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters, of the type used in hospital operating theatres and intensive care units, which trap dust particles, bacteria, fungi and viruses.”

President Trump last week said he was “marshaling the full power of the federal government” by suspending travel for non-U.S. citizens from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days, later extending it to the U.K. and Ireland, a measure aimed at stopping sick people spreading COVID-19. “We made a lifesaving move with early action on China. Now we must take the same action with Europe,” he said.

 

 

Are men more affected by this than women?

“Men do tend to be more affected than women and their symptoms are often more severe,” Ostrosky said. “Estrogen has a protective effect. When scientists block estrogen production in animals, they become more susceptible to coronaviruses and they get worse symptoms.” He added, “But please don’t take estrogen injections or pills. If you are a man, they will not help you.”

 

Italy has 35,713 confirmed cases, as of Wednesday evening, and has had the worst nationwide outbreak after China (81,102 cases). In Italy, the average age of those who have died from COVID-19 in Italy is 80.3 years old, and only 25.8% are women, according to Silvio Brusaferro, legal representative at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. Italy also has the oldest population in Europe.

Is there a gender difference when it comes to influenza? “No, with the flu it’s pretty even,” Ostrosky said. The two illnesses have similar symptoms, including a sore throat and coughing. Coronavirus is a type of virus common in humans and animals, and causes mild-to-moderate respiratory illnesses. But in very severe cases it can travel through your body and damage other organs.

‘Most face masks do not effectively filter small particles from the air and don’t prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales,’ the CDC says.

Do face masks guard against coronavirus?

Face masks help prevent patients from spreading the virus, but they don’t protect the healthy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say. They can help act as a barrier if a sick person coughs or sneezes. “Most face masks do not effectively filter small particles from the air and don’t prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales,” the CDC adds.

Face masks are needed for health-care professionals. N95 masks are tighter-fitting than surgical masks and protect against small particles and large droplets, according to the CDC. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that there are only 30 million N95 masks in the national stockpile, and “as many as 300 million masks are needed in the U.S. for health-care workers.”

 

Should I cancel my movie and dinner date?

Whether you’re on a plane or a train, you are at risk of contracting coronavirus, especially if you are seated near an infected person and/or you touch a contaminated surface and then your face without properly washing your hands. However, WHO says there’s no difference between sitting in a restaurant, office or movie theater: If you’re near an infected person, you’re at risk.

While you can’t do much about being seated next to an infected passenger on a plane at 30,000 feet, you can exercise responsible “social distancing,” Ostrosky said. “The more people who are in that enclosed space with you, the higher the risk you have of being exposed to someone who is sick,” he added. “If we had to rank them, there is an increased risk in larger groups.”

On Sunday evening, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said he would shut down all bars, restaurants and cinemas to help contain the spread of virus. “We cannot control the supply chain, we cannot control the foundation of where our medical supplies and equipment come from,” de Blasio told CNN. “The only hope is the federal government actually wakes up and realizes we are in a war.”

Wasn’t coronavirus already a pandemic?

Not technically. The WHO has declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. An outbreak is deemed to have become a pandemic when it has spread from human-to-human on several continents, while an epidemic is a disease that infects regions or a community over a large geographical area. “We’re deeply concerned,” WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters last week.

But wasn’t coronavirus already a pandemic, given that it had reached approximately 130 countries by that time? Not quite. There’s subjectivity involved in designating an epidemic a pandemic, and epidemiologists finally agreed that the efforts to contain the virus had failed. In other words, it’s now a matter of containing the spread and slowing it down to give scientists time to work on a vaccine.

 

Governments around the world are in race to stem the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus SARS-CoV-2. As of Wednesday evening, there were 215,947 confirmed cases and 8,749 deaths worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering. In the U.S. there have been 7,769 confirmed cases and 118 deaths.
