Amid Negative Hysteria Here Are Administration Viral-Response Details the Press Does Not Want to Report

Watching the news will give you plenty of doom, but little light on the facts for known reasons.
One of the more revealing aspects amid the Wuhan coronavirus crisis has been the abject malpractice on display with the media these past weeks. Whether it is focusing on the supposed racist connotations in naming the virus, to working harder to blame President Trump for being lax on the viral response while ignoring that China spent weeks allowing the pandemic to grow and spread, our media complex has been focused on nearly everything but helpful informative reporting.
The primary way the journalists have undermined their credibility has been in the way they try to scorch Trump for the very items they had called for. They declared he erred in not closing off air travel, then after doing so he was called ‘’xenophobic’’. For how long was the demand being made by the press that the administration wasn’t working to get a cure developed? This week, when it was announced some existing drugs could possibly lend a solution, Trump was dubbed a ‘’Nazi’’ for purportedly experimenting on patients. The demand had been made for updates by the administration, but now the press has said the President has to stop or networks block broadcasts — coinciding with his rise in the approval numbers.
We have even seen the narrative flip in the matter of one day. This past Friday, when the President tried to convey a message of hope to the general public, many in the media fact-checked him and were critical of a ‘’false’’ message. Then the very next day, the Washington Post posted a column that was critical of the President for NOT showing enough empathy. So while it is clear the press is not concerned with presenting details, looking into some of those details becomes needed.
The subject of ventilators, a needed device for those suffering from respiratory issues connected to the flu-like malady, has been one frequently raised to become critical of the administration. It has been claimed the President has been lax in getting these into hospitals, a result of Trump supposedly downplaying the impact of this outbreak. The message is that we have a severe shortage, and little is being done to get these into hospitals.
Except there are ventilators available. An NBC report detailshow the country currently has approximately 160,000 ventilators on the hospital market, but there are also more in a federal backup program.

CNN's Jake Tapper under fire after admitting he didn't fact-check AOC on Trump-coronavirus claim

Trump’s coronavirus response gets mixed reviews from experts, lawmakers and public
The ‘Fox News Sunday’ panel weighs in.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper was criticized on Sunday for not correcting a claim made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., about President Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
During an interview on "State of the Union," Ocasio-Cortez was sounding the alarm on her city and state's shortage of medical supplies but then quickly took a swipe at the Trump administration for its evolving rhetoric as the outbreak was spreading.
"We're hearing every step from this administration- first, we were hearing it was a hoax, then we were hearing that everything is fine, then we were hearing that the fundamentals of the economy was OK – until the crash comes," Ocasio-Cortez told Tapper.
She among many Democrats have accused Trump of calling the coronavirus a "hoax" on the campaign trail when he was actually conflating the uproar of the virus to the uproars of the Russia and Ukraine investigations, which he referred to as "hoaxes."
CNN BLASTED FOR ARTICLE CLAIMING TRUMP IS 'PEDDLING UNSUBSTANTIATED HOPE' AMID CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
The Trump campaign responded to Ocasio-Cortez's comments on social media, calling the congresswoman's claim a "lie."
"AOC just repeated the lie that President Trump called coronavirus a "hoax." This is not true, and has been debunked by numerous fact-checking sources. This would've been a great time for a fact check, @jaketapper," Trump campaign rapid response staffer Abigail Marone said.

Ok idiot, less than 500 dead compared to 12,000. What point are you trying to make? Lol. Bump me when we pass 12,000 and hundreds of healthy kids and teens dying.
Context is important. 500 dead in how many weeks? The 12,000 number is after a YEAR and is lower than for typical flu. The best hope for containing this thing is testing, testing, testing
In 2009, a new H1N1 influenza virus cropped up out of season, in late spring. Because of genetic similarities to influenza viruses in pigs, it became known as a “swine flu,” even though there is no evidence the virus spread between pigs or pigs to humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 60.8 million cases of infection with the novel type of influenza virus in the U.S. between April 2009 and April 2010, with a total of approximately 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths.
While that death toll may sound high, it’s over an entire year and, in fact, ended up being far lower than was initially expected. The strain of influenza also turned out to have a case fatality rate of just 0.02% — well below even many typical seasonal influenzas.
On April 15, 2009, the first infection was identified in California, according to the CDC, and less than two weeks later, on April 26, 2009, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency. The day before, on April 25, the World Health Organization had declared a public health emergency.
The same day — April 26 — the CDC began releasing antiviral drugs to treat the H1N1 flu, and two days later, the FDA approved a new CDC test for the disease, according to a CDC timeline on the pandemic.
On April 30, 2009, two days after the public health emergency declaration, Obama formally asked Congress for $1.5 billion to fight the outbreak, and later asked for nearly $9 billion, according a September 2009 Congressional Research Service report. On June 26, 2009, Obama signed Congress’ supplemental appropriation bill that included $7.7 billion for the outbreak.

How do you know he didn't do anything about it? Did you miss the part where it got shut down 2 days later? What makes you think the governor did that himself?

Unbiased? Messy uses Wikipedia for sourcing and none of you watch anything other than CNN. Wolf Blitzer is still trying to find districts reporting that Hillary has won.

And you'll vote for the idiot that can't finish a sentence, thinks he's running for the Senate, doesn't know the difference between his wife and sister, never knows what state he's in and wants Beto (the pretend Mexican) to take away your AR-14s. Yeah... but Trump is the "idiot".
