Quarter of a million dead people. Almost as much debt as that pos came to office owing. Dude, it said it in every pandemic movie or documentary ever made.
The December 22nd 2005 AWAKE magazine issued a warning about the next pandemic. They quoted from reliable medical sources: the next pandemic would probably come out of China or nearby country, go global quickly, devastate economies of countries, come in waves, stress the medical facilities of many countries, and so much more reported on. That was 15 years ago. Very few people paid attention. Now it is here. A SBL4, SARS-CoVd-2 virus, unbelievably contagious. You can still download a FREE electronic copy of that AWAKE magazine in various formats. Please go to the largest, free (NO registration, sign in or out, no one tracks you), true Christian website on the Internet. ALL downloads,apps, videos, audio's, music, Bibles, online Bible study course, questions answered, drama's, literature, for all age groups is FREE. Please go to Jw. org, look around, browse, and download from the privacy of your home or business. Much better times are just ahead (2Peter 3:13, and Revelation 21:1-4). Just saying.
5:07 It all goes back to that moment… when you have somebody intelligent transmitting valuable info to an idiot.
Lo peor es que con este gobierno de Tramp estan en la peor situacion del mundo por mal manejo y ahora esperan que este los saque! Los van a enterrar mas porque siempre toma las peores decisiones y dice las cosas mas ridiculas.
First let me say I am so glad I did not stay up late to watch this. Whoever wrote this piece dropped the ball big time. I am terrible at the internet and googled about US preparedness. Also watch CBS Sixty minutes on March 26, 20 segment, When I saw it was in Europe I knew it would come to the US-DUH!! just frickin common sense. The playbook was already done. When Ebola happened Obama sent Dr's and other support personnel to treat the ones sick there so it be contained. Over a million test kits were administered in the area to keep Ebola in the Congo. Two Americans died in the US and Trump said Obama should resign because of these deaths. On YouTube watch "Former Obama Official: Trump Ignored The 'Pandemic Playbook" channel Now This News. Here is Obama speaking on this and several in Congress voted against this being really being funded the way it should have been. Watch on YouTube "Obama Warned The U.S. To Prepare For A Pandemic Back In 2014" channel Now This News
When you put an idiotic clown in the White House, what kind of outcome can you expect out of an emergency?
US Population = 330,000,000 As of 5/1/2020
Chance of Getting COVID-19 = (0.0033) or 0.3322%
Chance of NOT Getting COVID-19 = (0.9967) or 99.6678%
I'd say the "Risk" is still low
And China has to have more deaths than 4,000 something. A lot of deaths and cases could be still underreported in varying countries.
Yeah, and at the first hint of the virus, there should’ve never been people allowed to come here. And we might have to deal with this for over a year yet. But there was some promising news with that remdisvir.
China was negligent, but we were unprepared as well. And this is not our first pandemic.
This country is not ready for anything. It’s not a surprise that they have the highest rate of cases.
For goodness sake do something for your people they are dying of anguish
US is far worst than India a 3rd world country, blames father and mother but not himself! Virus originated from US military lab, full stop!!!!
You fake news outlets ain’t sh*t!
The virus was intentionally created to cause Economic collapse world wide the wealthy Elites, illuminati, and Masons, Socialist across this Earth for one reason "Control" all that is prophesied in Gods word the Book of Revelation in the Holy bible that's getting ready to be fulfilled. Jesus Christ is soon to come for his chosen believers, and destruction delivered to this world of unbelievers who rejected his Salvation offered to them.
The media is so guilty of fear mongering and unethically orchestrate turmoil through gossip.
And…… it's a computer program. Check Mate!
This is God’s punishment on the human race
OMG.🤦ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♀ï¸ÂÂ😷
Cure for coronavirus, stop listening to all of this sht!
This yeare more poeople will die due to diabetis than covid one nine. This is not about a pandemic . This is about compliance and wealth redistribution. As well as exercising poiwer.
Pandemic warnings have been given for centuries.
Because it started in the US
More bs!!! Why dont you tell the americans about the pandemic simulation they did in october 2019
Keep on re-electing these fools!
China silencing all the people warning us.
I'm sure they did and they all came from China
May God have mercy on are souls
ABC SUCKS and has ZERO CREDIBILITY…..
What? If you would have just looked at what was going on in China in January you could have seen what was going to happen.
Yet we chose to ignore it because we think we're invincible.
Good job, guys.
Trump call the draft it might sound dumb but we got to invade China while we still can they use a weapon of mass destruction on human civilization tf
PAID FOR BY THE CCP
I'd better be Safe then dead.I'd wouldn't risk $ over lives.No matter the cost of the Economy.
In 2018 pandemic preparations are not done because Pelosi, Shumer and Shiff are so busy for impeachment of President Trump,the do nothing Demoncrats! 🖕ðŸÂ¼ðŸÂ€🦇ðŸÂÂÂÂ💩🦠💀🇨🇳👿
