The Chinese did fail on the initial and best opportunity to stop the virus. That statement doesn’t say anything about how Trump or any other leader subsequently handled it.

Come on Everybody
The Republic of China beat the virus
The roadmap is right there
No new cases in 203 days
Their economy is growing

The reason you don’t hear of some viruses like NIPA is because it has never been allowed to get a real foothold. That’s success.

Quote:
The case fatality rate is estimated at 40% to 75%. This rate can vary by outbreak depending on local capabilities for epidemiological surveillance and clinical management.
Nipah virus can be transmitted to humans from animals (such as bats or pigs), or contaminated foods and can also be transmitted directly from human-to-human.
Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are the natural host of Nipah virus.
There is no treatment or vaccine available for either people or animals. The primary treatment for humans is supportive care.
The 2018 annual review of the WHO R&D Blueprint list of priority diseases indicates that there is an urgent need for accelerated research and development for the Nipah viru.

s During the later outbreaks in Bangladesh and India, Nipah virus spread directly from human-to-human through close contact with people's secretions and excretions. In Siliguri, India in 2001, transmission of the virus was also reported within a health-care setting, where 75% of cases occurred among hospital staff or visitors. From 2001 to 2008, around half of reported cases in Bangladesh were due to human-to-human transmission through providing care to infected patients..
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

God forbid a serious virus ever started in a Trump conservative bastion in the US. They’d be screaming about their rights and the lying doctors or gov and it would spread to the entire world.

Trump is claiming that doctors get 2,000 dollars more if they determine the cause of death is covid.
I know this is an outright blatant lie by Trump
But
Wonder if Dr Soopoo would like to comment since this would be his area of expertise?
Is our medical system that corrupt or is Trump a liar?
I think the Trump campaign is going off the rails. He's attacking the nation's doctors. Talk about an implosion.
El Paso hospitals have tents in their parking lots. If you need to go to the hospital, you are either going to be sent to the parking lot or another city. It's that bad.
Doctors are the heroes.

I would not be shocked if the hospitals are getting a stipend for dealing with Covid patients but I would be surprised if the doctors do.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Isn't billing based on what particular care is given to a patient be it cancer or covid. Drugs, operations, use of bed , use of equipment , nurse time, Dr time ect.
How can a Dr make an extra 2 grand just by determining cause of death is covid? It makes no sense. There is no bonus system to change a cause of death.

Yeah, all those darned people who want to keep their rights. The USSR had the right idea, no rights no problems!
The President is a fink.
