As the death toll from the coronavirus climbed to 170, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency on Thursday and U.S. health officials reported the first U.S. case of person-to-person spread of the virus.
The U.N. health agency defines an international emergency as an “extraordinary event†that constitutes a risk to other countries and requires a coordinated international response.
And there you have it folks. An now the first US CASE of it spreading. As I posted this morning, sources told me the WHO declaration was a forgone conclusion the people make the decision were fighting the need for precautions vs the need for the economy to survive and WHO is terribly underfunded.
If I was Trump I would demand the house expedite money and get it to WHO now. Today as well as making sure the CDC and NIH is well funded. In addition I would be gearing up the Military and the National Guard to prepare to mobilize.
This can be contained. I was infuriated that Fox News and CNN are all getting their doctors on the air to say, boo haa, haa. Keep buying, keep producing, keep working, everything is fine we are already working on a vaccine for this. It is impotent and a weak virus. Blah, Blah, Blah.
In the meantime, this weak virus that is nothing more than the cold to CNN and FOX NEWS is forcing China to close the entire country, build new hospitals at a staggering rate and tell sick to not come to the hospitals because they are swamped.
Two days ago China mobilized its military medical staff and sent them to Wuhan. Yeah, It is the sniffles.
Influenza (the flu) kills 10s of thousands of Americans each year.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-does-the-flu-actually-kill-people/
And conservatives oppose NIH, CDC, WHO and on and on. Trump’s budget proposals cut monies to the NIH and CDC. US Cons hate the UN, which, in part, supports WHO.
@Elwood.
I am speechless that you would politicize what is going on with nCov. We have a worldwide pandemic I am posting reports with zero politics involved and you spit this out of your mouth.
As for the flu. The death rate is 1/10th of one percent.
With Sars, it was 9.7 percent a Cov illness and with nCov it is either 2 percent or over 5 percent depending on how you do the math. As I posted today, the New England Journal of medicine did a study suggesting the incubation is 3-6 days. So if we go back even 3 days, take the number of cases reported and divide by today’s deaths of 213 we have a death rate close to 5 percent.
We will not know until the event ends and we have the final numbers which we did for SARS.
Sars scared the world but in 8 months it only affected 8000 people and killed 750+. Today with nCov we have nearly 10k cases, 213 deaths in just a little over ONE month.
Try to remember that when you try to inject politics into something that is this deadly serious. We all look bad for things we say here from time to time. This is your shining moment Elwood.
chumpchange/TEACH,
I am speechless that you don’t realize that cuts to NIH, CDC and lack of support for WHO have negative consequences. One can’t dismantle our world health infrastructure and expect the response to be optimal to the next “coming plague”.
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), part of HHS, funding runs out in May. The gov’t will no doubt put hundreds of millions of taxpayer monies on the credit card to combat the coronavirus outbreak, while at the same time they once again cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and cut the budgets of HHS, NIH and CDC.
Policies have consequences. It takes international resources (human, intellectual, research, medical, medicines, facilities) for us to remain vigilant and ready to manage these diseases. By definition a pandemic is global.
Get used to “coming plagues”.

The democrats control the purse string you nitwit.
ICYMI The coming plagues are all coming out of Red China.
2 bio warfare labs right by Wuhan.
And plagues are controlled by quarantine. Certainly, they didn’t see thls or Sars coming.
So much for the world health infrastructure.
Teach in his chump suit typed: The democrats control the purse string you nitwit.
Except military money to Ukraine, then it’s all trump, you nitwit.
Even a president as unreliable as trump has the discretion to defend the nation against epidemics.
Ukraine got their Congressionally approved money, little sissybitch.
Try to keep up.
Lolgfy Jeffery
You just can’t discuss anything without politicizing it, can you? You’e that deep in your own mental shitfest!
Conservatives do not oppose NIH, CDC or WHO you asshole. Trump’s budget proposals are to cut the waste, not the programs or he would just defund them. What conservatives hate (by conservatives I assume you mean anyone not so far left they’re RED) is the use of these programs to politicize medicine and health. That’s also why we don’t want you commies in control of our health plans.
These mythical “conservatives” of which you speak must then agree with Normies who also hate the UN. Only idiots, tyrants and communists like the UN or don’t you realize that? But we can support A WHO while still hating the UN. We don’t need the UN to have an organization like the WHO and we would be better off if it weren’t part of the UN. The UN is politics and if there is one area politics has no place it’s in health care, unless you like the Cuban/N.Korean/Chinese form of “universal coverage”.
Trump 2020 Keep the Sanders Commies away from our health care.
Teach in his Kye suit typed: Conservatives do not oppose NIH, CDC or WHO you asshole. That’s good to know you asshole.
Yes, conservatives keep cutting taxes, necessitating cuts in NIH and the CDC. Are you saying conservatives want the NIH and CDC but just want others to pay for them? Got it.
By all means fund WHO outside the UN.
unless you like the Cuban/N.Korean/Chinese form of “universal coverageâ€
I prefer the Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Israel, Japan, S. Korea, Luxembourg… form of universal coverage. Good insurance and health care for much less than we pay per capita.
FOLKS go to foxnews.com
You will find nothing but Coronavirus articles. Either my incessant pounding the drum at them has got their attention or they have finally realized that the SHIT IS FUKING HITTING THE FAN!!!
Nothing but Coronavirus now on Foxnews.com
This is just sad. Fox had up about 10 articles 30 minutes ago. Most of them have been removed now.
The government made a phone call to foxnews.
Sad for all of us. This is how manipulated the sheeple of both parties are in this country.
YOUR 1/31/2020 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE nCov.
9776 confirmed cases.
213 deaths.
A New England Journal of Medicine produced a study of the 4 German’s with nCov.
In this article, it was revealed that the nCov or Novel CoronaVirus Can be and in the case of the Germans WAS spread without symptoms being present. In addition, it was found that AFTER feeling better you are still contagious.
All 4 of these people were healthy adults and their incubation period was between 3-6 days. However, the second person was still contagious after feeling better 1 full week after contact with the woman who flew from China to a business meeting in Germany which is how this started.
Now for the really, really bad news.
The fear and why WHO announced a worldwide global emergency was that poorer nations with less sophisticated healthcare systems would be particularly hard hit.
As of last night our time INDIA confirmed its first case as did the Philippines. This is horrible news because both countries are ill-equipped to deal with this and in India’s case they live packed together and in most cases in very poor conditions.
Look for India and the Philippines to be swept with this virus.
On the positive side, It appears that in the USA and nations with good healthcare facilities such as the USA and Europe they are able to contain this virus and with good care if needed the death rate is almost non -existent and that is good unless this thing mutates.
I will keep digging and following this closely. The economic repercussions are going to be staggering. China has shut down. IF you want a new IPHONE better buy it now or expect to wait several months. The USA will fare well. No ones gonna lose their pension, 401k, SSI, etc. Unless China happens in the USA which now seems less likely but……..
Be prepared. Be cautious. Be alert. Be smart. Help out the world by not getting yourself sick.
Senator Lamar Alexander reasonably admits that tRump is guilty as charged by the House, citing the House’s overwhelming evidence. Trump withheld aid to Ukraine to force them to announce an investigation of tRump’s likely opponent, Biden. And what does he recommend doing? Nothing. LOL.
The GOP wants to stay in power at all costs.
Trump supporters embarrass themselves with their denial of what trump did. He did it. But so what? There was never any chance that the Senate would oust trump. None. As the one pundit said, “Trump could murder a GOP Senator in the well of the Senate and still be acquitted 52-47.” LOL. Funny but true.
It appears that the democrats are losing power by the day. I can see why you are frustrated.
Obama oversaw the collapse of the democratic party.
HRC Weaponized the DNC against 1/2 of the democrats she proposed to represent.
Bernie Sanders is now the front runner.
The establishment will not vote for a socialist and the Bernie Bros will not vote for an establishment. AOC is funding primary challenges against her own party and calling for the abolition of the border patrol during a pandemic.
Lamar Alexandar should be the least of your worries.
The democratic party sure. 90 percent of dems will vote for whomever. the other 10 percent will stay home or vote for Trump.
In 2016 the exit surveys showed that 45 percent of the electorate that responded wanted to either continue Obama’s policies or be more liberal.
What was amazing Elwood is that of those 45 percent TWENTY TWO PERCENT 22 voted for Trump.
The break down in NJ was 25 percent of those attending were democrats.
Your party is fractured into chaos. It is understandable the democrats are willing to destroy the country to stop Orange Man bad and he indeed is the greatest threat the left has ever faced.
Why?
Because he is taking away blacks, Hispanics and Jews and even losing 10 more percent of each group will end the dems chances of ever retaking the White House as long as their goal is Communism/socialism.
So yeah. we get it. The dems are desperate to be rid of trump and in your fairy tale world you keep believing he did something illegal that warrants being removed.
Well dont worry Monday Schiff will be back investigating Trump and no doubt will adopt more articles by Tuesday.
