Hardly state-controlled media ... more like dark-state controlled media.

Also, the number dead is 1,097 and counting.

Otherwise, agree 100% ... the hype is much worse than the reality.

Too bad none of you can do math. We are starting to see the exponential rise of the infection and death curves. It's only going to go up until distancing and staying at home slow the spread.

The current FOX (false) analogy is to traffic deaths. Sure, thousands die in accidents every year, but Covid-19 is not an accident. Nor do traffic deaths rise exponentially.

Nor are flu deaths relevant to what Covid-19 is doing. Flu mortality is about 0.7% per year, still too high, but far less than the Covid-19 mortality in other countries. Our numbers are meaningless because a very small percentage of sick can even be tested. So, there is no established mortality rate in the USA.

2 bad analogies and both are false equivalencies.

There is no Dark State or Deep State, only a Deep IQ Shortage with a sociopathic president and his supporters, who don't seem to understand this isn't Fake News or a "Witch Hoax".

It is very real. Wise up.

Let's put this into perspective...

The regular annual flu kills approximately 36,000 people every year.

Basic hand-washing hygiene, good coughing/sneezing etiquette, end of story.

You don't say?

Unless UPS or a worker notifies the union how are they supposed to know? And UPS doesn’t care about their employees plain and simple. So to answer your question nobody is going to inform you.

1.032 dead Americans. 68,000+ infected. I assumed that UPS and the Union would make sure that employees are tested for free. They’re pushing people to work. UPS should only be delivering essentials, not trampolines.

Trump’s aides were told to expect a potential pandemic, ranging from a tabletop exercise that the outgoing Obama administration prepared for the president’s incoming aides to a “Crimson Contagion” scenario that health officials undertook just last year and modeled out potential risks of a global infectious disease threat.

So why does donald keep saying things like “Nobody ever expected a thing like this.”?

are you saying the obama folks knew that this might happen and didnt set the plan in place to deal with this. instead they gave the trump administration a Oh by the way briefing?

you do realize a tabletop exercise has limits in that it will probably result in the application of conventional methods and procedures and test how well they are coordinated and applied?

you do realize the scale of this affliction has been anything but conventional?

did congress recieve the same briefing and also not appropriate the budget for something of this scale?

you do realize that the government plans for possible contingencies like this 5 to 10 years down the road and starts developing the plan and assets for it?

are you really this desperate for a political argument?

They have hundreds of What If? plans. Even one for the zombie apocalypse.

you dont actually watch any part of fox , just read your DNC talking points ?

Fox has had all of the prominent disease experts on all day long including Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx

if you have something to contribute here that is factual can you please try to provide it?

agreed our friend likes to use the tabletop example . Tabletop exercises do not innovate new disease responses.

tabletops are not brainstorming exercises of creativity but a cementing of known planned for scenarios and the execution of the plan. it helps bring the response components together to ensure they know and understand how they coordinate their efforts in the anticipated scenario.

so when Trump says this there was no plan for something on this scale and every other head of every other agency says the same thing then some politico slam is clearly out of sync with what every other government agency says.

Thank you for linking to Obama's inadequate pandemic response plan, maybe if he and the WHO weren't China's bitches we wouldn't be in this situation.

China officials knew of coronavirus in December, ordered cover-up, report says
