Trump probably had Pence release it up there to punish Pelosi for the impeachment

it's the beginning of the end

Note to self: Do not go to California anytime soon.

yup. Community infection

I'm inmagining Pence standing on top of a mountain and opening a jar while laughing maniacally as it seeps out onto a town below

Any chance unknown origin could be an immigrant afraid to get deported or someone who doesn't have insurance so they haven't gone to hospital.

It's been in my town since like last Thursday but they didn't announce it til a few days later.

Hopefully I don't catch it. Haven't gotten sick this season so hopefully this won't be the time

Yep... this virus is getting out. Such a stupid, needless risk that our government is taking. Fingers crossed that it's less lethal than the flu, I guess.

That was my third choice. These cases had to have an origin somewhere. If it that option who knows how many others been infected but haven't been tested yet.

I doubt this virus will get contained. The vaccine might be poison especially under Prince Pence's outlook of the project.

Lord Trump is really shitting on the American people. He and the Trump family will be fine when he they're crowned royals of Israel.

lmao no. Undocumented immigrants arent casually flying from China to California

Trump probably has a vaccine. He's waiting for the planet to become infected so that he can be like "bow down to me!" and the whole entire world will have no choice but to call him a hero and savior.

I thought this was the second case,

Trump will not let us down. He never has.

I'm not a Trump fan by any fucking stretch. But what exactly do you want the government to do that or isn't doing? Do you want it to shut down all schools for 3 weeks like Japan?

Uh...
Chinese anchor babies? Was a whole thing with Californian homes being over maximum capacity used to house pregnant Chinese women just so that they can give birth on US soil just 2(?) years ago.

The problems started some time ago, when Trump made staffing and budget cuts at the CDC, chose to surround himself with sycophants instead of experts, and retaliated against whistleblowers. You can draw a straight line between those observations and the recent CDC whistleblower account summarized here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/politics/coronavirus-us-whistleblower.html

It's a lack of preparedness that got us to this point, and that can't be fixed now.

As for what steps the Trump administration can take today... Trump could stop branding Covid-19 as a "Democrat hoax," to start. He could appoint a competent expert to lead the response effort, rather than Mike Pence. He could request more funding from Congress (he began with a tepid $2.5B). He could act like he cares instead of saying, "It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear... maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows."

You do realise he doesn't care right?

People who ask what Trump is doing wrong are disingenuous
