Kachingpdx1,

I listened to the Presidents comments and they had nothing to do with Covid19 as a hoax, it was about the "opposition" attributing blame for the virus on the current administration. Your comments are unwarranted, as is even the thought that in the face of what could be a serious virus threat, there is a group that even sees themselves as "the opposition". There is no place whatsoever for domestic political differences during this event. I was overjoyed when the President suspended air travel from China as a way to protect us here in the US. My opinion is the Chinese are not revealing the truth when it comes to numbers of both infections and deaths. The outbreak may have begun as early as December, with human to human transmission starting in January. This is the end of February, so the event has an EXTREMELY short history, the fact that travel was suspended by the President on January 31 shows how seriously he and his administration considered the potential threat. No administration has ever taken such a serious step so early after news of a new virus. Please leave the politics out of this.
