Apparently recovery from milder cases takes about 2 weeks and 3-6 weeks for severe disease.

The CDC screwed up the first batch. They are starting to mass produce effective ones now.

I wonder if he'll throw in some lies and insults about how this is all the fault of the Democrats and fake librul news media like CNN?

First US death in Washington state.

We didn’t even know there was a diagnosis in Washington, right? Only California and Oregon.

 

[WhatUTalkinBout Willis]

4 cases of unknown origin. I feel like a little panic spike will happen as community transmission increases but we have the gift of summer incoming. This fall: full on shit show incoming

Trump will fix in by June and then blame the Dems for it leading into the election.

 

[BarcaDeac]

Why would the president waste his time by addressing the status of a response to a hoax?

 

[WFFaithful]

Fox News will maintain the hoax narrative.

 

[avalon]

Trump really called a press conference to talk about how great he's doing.

 

[Demonwolverine]

Man, it's a good thing these conditions just stamped themselves out with the help of T's and P's.

I'm sure global warming will miraculously do the same thing. Just haven't prayed enough.

The State Department just announced that foreign adversaries are actively spreading disinformation on the Coronavirus. Good thing we learned so much from 2016 and are prepared for this.


01:14 PM: Two million tweets shared coronavirus conspiracy theories, State Department report finds

Roughly 2 million tweets peddled conspiracy theories about the coronavirus over the three-week period since the outbreak began to spread outside China, according to an unreleased report from an arm of the State Department, raising fresh fears about Silicon Valley’s preparedness to combat a surge of dangerous disinformation online.

The wrongful, harmful posts floated a number of hoaxes — suggesting, for example, that the coronavirus had been created by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or was the result of a bioweapon. These and other identified falsehoods represented 7 percent of the total tweets the government studied, and they might have been “potentially impactful on the broader social media conversation,” according to the report, which was obtained by The Washington Post on Saturday.

The Global Engagement Center, the propaganda-fighting program at the State Department whose name appears on the document, said it focused its analysis on countries excluding the United States between Jan. 20 and Feb. 10, a period during which the World Health Organization declared coronavirus an international health emergency. In total, the GEC explored 29 million foreign posts, the report said.

Some of the misinformation exhibited “evidence of inauthentic and coordinated activity,” according to the report, raising the specter that foreign governments or other malicious actors may have deliberately tried to sow fear and discord about the international health emergency — much as Russian agents had done during the 2016 presidential election in the United States.

But the report did not detail fully what led to this conclusion, nor did it attribute the information to a specific government source. Previously, agency officials signaled in public news reports that some of the activity may be tied to agents of the Kremlin, though Russia is not mentioned in the study.
