President Donald Trump says he isn't concerned "at all" about the coronavirus getting closer to the White House after the nation's capital reported its first case Saturday.
Maryland officials warned Saturday that a person who attended the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in the suburb of Oxon Hill had tested positive for the virus.
Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke at the conference. The White House said Saturday there was no indication that either had met or were in "close proximity" to the infected attendee.
Asked if he was concerned about the virus getting closer, Trump said: "No, I'm not concerned at all. No, I'm not. We've done a great job."

Dr drumpf is very smart when it comes to virus mitigation - just ask him

Obviously baldy orange cunto took that personally.

What a fucking plank.

“I like this stuff. I really get it,” Trump claimed during his trip Friday to the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Everyone of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."

One thing Trump probably should not have done, if he truly understands the disease, was not to kiss a well-handled flag on a stage of the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, Jost hinted.
Someone attending CPAC has tested positive for coronavirus (he had no contact with the president, according to event organizers). Jost quipped that it was the guy in “charge of handling Trump’s flag.”
Scientists have had to explain to Trump a number of times that a vaccine against coronavirus can’t be developed for public use in a matter of a few months, as he has claimed. They have also had to explain the concept of antibodies to him.

President Donald Trump promised Monday that “very exciting things are happening rapidly” on the coronavirus front, including a possible “quick” vaccine. But that hope was instantly dashed by the top health expert on his COVID-19 task force, who said a vaccine might be ready in 18 months.

Trump appeared to confuse when a vaccine could be tested with when it could be safely used by Americans.


Trump’s specifics on the battle against coronavirus were vague, but he promised they would undoubtedly be “very successful.” He made his remarks as he met in the Oval Office with task force members and 10 pharmaceutical company executives.


Trump also vowed that “we will continue to do exactly what we’ve been doing,” even though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been sharply criticized over its flawed, limited tests for the disease.


As for a vaccine, Trump said, “I’ve heard very quick numbers, that of months. And I’ve heard pretty much a year would be an outside number. So I think that’s not a bad range. But ... you’re talking about three to four months in a couple of cases, a year in other cases.”


Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, instantly corrected Trump: “Let me make sure you get the ... information.” A vaccine could be ready “at the earliest [in] a year to a year-and-a-half, no matter how fast you go,” said Fauci, noting: “Like I’ve been telling you, Mr. President.”


Fauci also corrected Trump after his first news conference on the coronavirus last Wednesday, when the president insisted a vaccine was “very close.” Fauci later said a coronavirus vaccine could take up to two years.


The president underscored at the meeting that one company was talking about a vaccine in “two months.” But Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar pointed out to him that a vaccine could be ready to begin testing in two months. Vaccines go through three stages of testing before they’re available to the public much later.
Executives also had to explain to a stumped Trump that a typical flu vaccine won’t work against the new coronavirus.

The president appeared a bit foggy about vaccines in general. Schleifer explained about antibodies.

Task Force Expert Instantly Contradicts Trump On 'Quick' Coronavirus Vaccine — Again | HuffPost

Donald Trump used a freewheeling press conference on Friday, intended to provide updates on the coronavirus, as an opportunity to attack Democrats, praise his own intelligence, lash out at CNN and spread false and misleading information about the status of the outbreak, as a slew of new cases were confirmed aboard a cruise ship off the California coast.Speaking at the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) main campus in Atlanta, Georgia, while wearing his red “Keep America Great” re-election campaign hat, the president went on a rant criticizing Washington state’s governor, Jay Inslee, as a “snake” and saying he disagreed with his vice-president’s complimentary remarks toward the Democrat. Inslee, who ran for president last year, is overseeing the response to the most serious outbreak in the US.


In a moment that some commentators have called one of the most “disturbing” and “frightening” remarks of Trump’s response to the public health crisis, the president also said he would prefer that cruise ship passengers exposed to the virus be left aboard so that they don’t add to the number of total infections in the US.






“I like the numbers being where they are,” said Trump, who appeared to be explicitly acknowledging his political concerns about the outbreak: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”
The president further implied that the coronavirus test was available to anyone who needed it, even though his own administration has acknowledged that there is currently a shortage among US healthcare providers.
Trump’s remarks came as the vice-president, Mike Pence, announced that 21 people on a cruise ship being held off San Francisco had tested positive for coronavirus. He also urged older Americans to “use caution” in planning any cruise ship vacation.
Speaking at the White House, Pence said the government was planning to bring the Grand Princess cruise ship into a “non-commercial port” where all the passengers and crew would be tested. They would be quarantined and treated as needed.
There are more than 3,500 people on the ship, counting passengers and crew. Pence said 19 of those who tested positive were crew members and two were passengers.

I see your point

How old was 3rd choice ? 70 ?

That is the tragedy

Maybe Mugabe wasn't so foolish afterall, when he sought reelection at a 122 years old.

Sad state of affairs, in American politics.
It’s unlikely that either one of them would live to see a second term.

Trump is definitely not a cretin, eccentric yes, but not an imbecile

got to be the best POTUS ever so far,

don't think anyone can beat him for the next election, even if Bernie is a nice candidate and a good guy

Trump is a fooking genius,

Word!!

I love the smell of snowflakes in the morning

Trump is an excellent POTUS, ok a bit lunatic, but that's what it takes for great men to be leader

while you fookers scream and cry in your beers

I feel special.

you come with chips on your shoulders, like PH, thinking your voice is more important and you have a big mission in life because you happen to be anti-Trump, like in some big retard club

just love to call idiots for what they are

don't listen to harry, he is our resident Indian Call Center boy who has a high opinion of himself

Not crayon rendered but it should be clear enough.

nothing wrong with libs, Ant, you are missing my point, again

Trump got elelected for a purpose, and he is delivering

while the Dems are stuck in the past in an old system that no longer exist, they need to get back to reality, they OWN themselves, sadly

Bloomberg was a perfect example of a disconnected candidate, they can't beat Trump now

only Trump can beat Trump, and that's how probably he will fall at the end

Covefe.

"We are now seeing what it's like when a lifelong scam artist is in charge of responding to a public health crisis [...] [Trump] was at the CDC talking about how he was getting his information not from doctors, but from his favorite channel, Fox News [...] Trump actually admitted that he wanted to keep people trapped on a cruise ship because it would increase the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S., and that would make him look bad...

This is what happens when you put a lifelong con artist and pathological liar with zero intellectual curiosity in charge of the government. When an emergency comes along he doesn't care about solving it, he just wants to B.S. his way through it. And now he is actively making the situation worse. The president is a deluded idiot who thinks he's a super genius."
