Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday announced a global health official as the "White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator," effectively installing a czar-like figure under him to guide the administration's response to the outbreak.

Ambassador Debbie Birx, who will report to Pence, serves as the U.S. government's leader for combatting HIV/AIDS globally, according to the White House. She will also join the White House's coronavirus task force led by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

Over three decades of public health experience, Birx "has been utilizing the best science to change the course of the HIV pandemic and bring the pandemic under control," the White House said, adding that she "will bring her infectious disease, immunologic, vaccine research and interagency coordinating capacity to this position."

Well there goes the "Trump doesn't have any experienced people on this task force" narrative.

And lol at the "Pence will pray away the coronavirus" comments. That was literally the first thing that came to my mind when I heard that is who he put in charge.

BDK is the political hack version of the "do as I say not as do" parent.

Ebola is a lot more scary, with about a 50% fatality rate. For the Kung Fu flu, China is reporting about 3.5%, but for the 1st world countries its about 1% so far.

And didn’t you see:

OK, Pence, you’re auditioning for 2024. Don’t fvck it up.

And he’s already chosen a “fall guy/gal” to blame if things go south.

Prediction:

Under 250 deaths in the U.S., 9% of which will be either infants under 18 months or seniors over 65.

Even though the fear mongering by the liberal media is way overblown, I'd still take the over on that.

We should make a new thread. I'm going with 1,500 US deaths. Still way way less than the common flu (up to 60,000 US deaths per year).

[Skjellyfetti]

I'll take the under. I'll go with half: 125.

Japan is closing schools for a month.

[dbackjon]

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board.

No...I just looked through every post. It IS, in fact, the dumbest thing ever on this board.

Congratulations. What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even CLOSE to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Ahhh...someone is STILL a closet Fox fan.

Tom has become a hard-core Right-winger.

Yeah sure...and they supposedly had containment in World War Z too.

Watch this video

It is a press conference in Iran. The Iranian Minister of Health is sweating profusely as they tell the Iranians they have the novel coronavirus under control.

The Iranian Health Minister has the coronavirus - he’s right there on TV suffering from the initial stages. He was diagnosed shortly thereafter.

Now the Iranian Vice President (the highest ranking woman in the regime and a 1979 hostage taker) is also positive. They have all been in close contact with Rouhani.

Yep, a gay rights supporting, pro-choice, “shrink-the-military” hard core right-winger.

Reminds me of the Iraqi Minister of truth....

I see hanky-panky.

Just got the CDC’s presser sent to my friend at the VA. Not a matter of if, but when we start seeing community spread here. Not into fear mongering, but at what point do you keep the family at home? The news is going to behind the reality.
