Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said on Friday that the coronavirus is likely to cause disruptions to every day life - including likely school closures and changes to public transportation.
“Are you going to see some schools shut down? Probably. Maybe see impacts on public transportation? Sure, but we do this. We know how to handle this,” Mulvaley said while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside of Washington on Friday.
Mulvaney also slammed the media for painting a narrative that the Trump administration is “scrambling” to contain the virus, noting that he briefed Congress along with top health officials six weeks ago. He accused the media of ignoring coronavirus until now, according to The Hill.
“Why didn’t you hear about it?” Mulvaney asked the audience while sitting down with Heritage Foundation economist Stephen Moore. “The press was covering their hoax of the day because they thought it would bring down the president.”
“Is it real? It absolutely is real,” Mulvaney said. “But you saw the president the other day — the flu is real.”
Mulvaney then downplayed the risk of the new coronavirus, saying that people should be focusing on the mortality rate which is currently, officially, between 2 and 3%.
Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney: "What I might do today to calm the markets is tell people to turn their televisions off for 24 hours…This is not Ebola. It's not SARS. It's not MERS." #coronavirus #CPAC2020

What Mulvaney didn’t note is that COVID-19 is hyper-virulent, and can reinfect people who have already had it. If even 1/10 of the world is infected, that’s 15 - 22 million dead - a global crisis by any standard. He also didn’t mention the economic impact of tens of millions of people who will survive, but can’t function for several weeks.
If coronavirus gains a foothold in American cities and we begin to see footage of people falling over in the streets, we suspect the Trump administration will have much explaining to do for their early attempts to downplay the threat.

The Bible in the form of parables and symbols says that in order to become a Christian, you have to become a Republican. The democrats are of satan because they believe in the faggots and lesbians of LGBTQ and the other things that are corrupt and contradict what the Bible says.

BREXIT FINALLY HAPPENED!
03rd March 2020
By Journalist and Pastor of King Of The Nations Church in Rockville, Maryland
Three and a half years after Britain announced plans to exit the European Union, Brexit finally happened, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson fulfilled his campaign pledge (NY magazine, January 31, 2020). The United Kingdom is no longer a voting member of the EU, but is still required to abide by European laws through the 11-month transition period.
Now the UK and the EU governments have to transact major agreements, while the British government simultaneously works on independent trade deals with other nations. Some are optimistic, while others believe there is insufficient time to complete meaningful negotiations (BBC, February 3, 2020). The EU appears to be insistent that the UK remain committed to European rules and regulations, while Johnson is clear that he wants Britain to work with the EU without being tethered to European regulations (Politico, February 4, 2020). Several potential flash points in the negotiations include fisheries, rules and regulations, the future of Gibraltar, as well as who will have the final say in decisions regarding the UK and Europe.
For millennia, Bible prophecies have warned that former allies of Israelite-descended nations (like Britain) will turn against them at the end of the age (Jeremiah 4:30), and these nations will go into some form of captivity under a German-led European “beast” power—a punishment from God for turning away from Him and despising His laws (Deuteronomy 28:15, 41; Ezekiel 23:9–10). Aggressive Brexit negotiations could accelerate this process of separating allies.

The demons will use anything to try and take Trump down. The common influenzas floating around the USA is responsible for thousands of deaths each year, but they never say anything about that. Obama waited 6 months and 1000 deaths before doing anything about his ‘crisis’. Trump closed the borders to China 3 weeks after the virus was exposed, and he is slammed by the media. They lauded Obama’s reaction.
It’s despicable. Maybe some of them will come down with the virus.
