Germany said it was heading for a coronavirus epidemic and could no longer trace all cases, as the number of new infections inside China, where the outbreak originated, was for the first time overtaken by those elsewhere. Germany, which has around 20 cases, said it was already impossible to trace all chains of infection, and Health Minister Jens Spahn urged regional authorities, hospitals and employers to review their pandemic planning. “Large numbers of people have had contact with the patients, and that is a big change to the 16 patients we had until now where the chain could be traced back to the origin in China,” he said. —Reuters

Trump administration wrongly compares coronavirus death rates to the flu
“Trump and his senior advisers see coronavirus as a serious health threat that warrants a full response yet assess the risk of the virus in the U.S. as more comparable to the flu in terms of the fatality rate
In fact, the flu fatality rate is 0.1 percent
where the coronavirus fatality rate is between 2 and 4 percent
in the central China city of Wuhan, where the virus first surfaced,
“We expect we will see community spread in this country,”
“It is not a matter of if, but a question of when, this will exactly happen.”

Trash and his mafiya have been lying for 3+ years, and they give no reason to believe them now.
Lying is non-stop as is the incompetence.
First untraceable case has landed in Northern California. MArket continues to tank after hours and after TrUmpster’s reassurance he’s got it under control.
Dump said things we already knew the first weeks this came out![]()

Christian Dominionist Reconstructionist misogynist End Timer Pence has everything under control, as virus czar (Russians in the loop!)
you ever get tired of being a total ing bat crazy loon? seriously? do you read the you post here bouts? you're a nut.
Dow futures went negative during his presser, but it wasn't horrible, for Trump. At least he didn't contradict the people on stage with him.
It is a pity he mothballed the DHS office tasked with coordinating pandemic responses.
Looks like they missed the boat on quarantining entry from S Korea.
Our lives are now in the hands of Mike Pence.
No Fear.

US isn't 'remotely prepared' to test for coronavirus, experts say
The United States is lagging when it comes to testing for the new coronavirus.
the United States is lagging on that front, in part due to faulty test kits and strict regulations,
"We're not remotely prepared,"
Currently, 57 individuals in the U.S. have COVID-19,
the Trump administration has wasted precious time, which could have been used to develop and disseminate tests for the virus in all 50 states.
In early February, the CDC sent testing kits to labs across the U.S., but
a glitch in the kits made them unusable.
Now, more than a month later,
just five state health departments — in California, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada and Tennessee — as well as the CDC,
have the ability to test for the virus, known as SARS-CoV-2.
There's so much backlog now, that getting results from the CDC can take several days,
in order to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, scientists have to obtain, verify and run the current CDC test.
Or, they can file an application for a new testing protocol and get it approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Both processes can be difficult, especially when it comes to obtaining positive control materials — in other words,
samples of the virus itself so that scientists can compare new cases to it,
asking the CDC if Hawaii can get testing kits from Japan,
The CDC requires that patients with suspected COVID-19 meet a certain criteria before being tested, including having a fever.
But people with mild cases of the virus might not have a fever
just 445 people have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S.,
South Korea has tested more than 35,000 people for the virus
"If the criteria is only to test people who have severe illness, we're going to be missing other cases," Adalja told Live Science.
"And in order to do that we need to have much more widely distributed tests."
The U.S. dropped the ball in getting tests out quickly and making them widely available,

Nice to see some libs paying attention to this virus now that you think it might help Dems
In 2000 Pence claimed smoking does not kill
Then he put in a confused qualifier:
Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer. This is not to say that smoking is good for you... news flash: smoking is not good for you. If you are reading this article through the blue haze of cigarette smoke you should quit.
But in fairness to Pence, this was in 2000 before people... uhh... really...ummm.. understood the connection?
I think he probably understands that he does not understand and will let someone else run the show and shut up.
Unlike orange guy.
