Trump:

We’re rapidly developing a vaccine and they can speak to you, the professionals can speak to you about that. The vaccine is coming along well. Speaking to the doctors, we think this is something that we can develop fairly rapidly, a vaccine for the future and coordinate with the support of our partners. We have great relationships with all of the countries that we’re talking about. Some, a fairly large number of countries. Some, it’s one person. Many countries have no problem whatsoever. And we’ll see what happens. But we’re very, very ready for this, for anything. Whether it’s going to be a breakout of larger proportions or whether or not we’re at that very low level, and we want to keep it that way. So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list. So that we’re going to be pretty soon, at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.​

We're going to have zero cases soon! It's going to go from a handful of cases, straight to zero!

Let's see what the CDC rep had to say not 10 min later:

Dr. Anne Schuchat Principal Deputy Director w/CDC:

Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary. As you know, this has been a difficult and challenging time. Our hearts go out to the individuals who have been directly affected by the virus, and to all those who have been working tirelessly in responding to it. Our aggressive containment strategy here in the United States has been working, and is responsible for the low levels of cases that we have so far. However, we do expect more cases, and this is a good time to prepare.
​

Containment is working, get ready for more cases!

I hope Dr Schuchat has her resume ready! You just don't contradict the propagandist in chief.

I'm getting so tired of Trump supporters swallowing his half- and whole-baked false missives without question. I mean, liberals are detached from reality as well, but Trump and his fans take it to a whooole new level.

How about we stop listening to the politicians on both sides, and start listening to the experts in the field?

Matt 25:1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 11 Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.

Not to critique the very honorable CDC director, but really...our aggressive containment strategy here in the United States has been working, and is responsible for the low levels of cases that we have so far. ..no one can scientifically say this. ...we do expect more cases, and this is a good time to prepare. Expect...not good science and so the whole thing is a wash on both ends.
...and this is a good time to prepare... wondering...Republican or Democrat. Yes, one is really left wondering! Pack your bags...just trying to stir the pot against the President of the United States of America...voted in democratically by millions of people. Mostly due to just and right plans presented to the people during his campaign...but who cares about that anymore...why not turn socialist...anything but succumb to living under truth and justice for a change...still a lot of the uneducated.

Gilead has an antiviral drug called remdesivir. They developed it in response to MERS and SARS. It was successful in animal tests. It is being tested in China with some success. They passed phase 2 testing and moved on to phase 3 testing. They may fast track it. Gilead invented the drug and patented it in the US. Gilead applied for a patent in China. China denied Gilead’s patent application and awarded themselves a patent for the drug. They have already come up with a plan to mass produce remdesivir and wish to distribute it. They have boasted of their great scientific breakthrough.

The problem with the coronavirus is, it distracts from the real issues, which are building a wall and sticking it to the Democrats. Fortunately, since you defended your gun rights, you will be able to fight for the limited supplies of vaccine.

Yay for priorities!

I’m not seeing that “China stole” remdesivir, but was given the drug to try.
