It should also be pointed out that Houston's Mayor (Sylvester Turner) is a former Democrat State Rep. and committed Democrat operative. The Harris County Judge (Llna Hidalgo) is a total dolt swept into office last year by a wave of straight-ticket voting who does whatever Sylvester tells her to do.

McCarthy thinks coronavirus could have been contained had China taken U.S. help

Top House Republican 'frustrated' by Chinese Communist Party saying Americans created virus

Kevin McCarthy, the top House Republican, is usually a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. But when Just The News sat down with him in his office this week to discuss the serious and deadly coronavirus, his habitual state of upbeat optimism turned to anger directed directly at China.

“If President Xi would have allowed what President Trump asked for – to let in our scientists, our doctors, our researchers – at the very beginning in January, we probably could have contained this in China,” the House minority leader told us. “Their denial has made this spread quite further.”

Washington officials have previously stated that the Chinese government did not respond to initial offers of help from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other U.S. health personnel.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Ted Cruz, in self-quarantine, calls coronavirus ‘serious,’ but no reason to panic

Benjamin Wermund March 11, 2020 Updated: March 11, 2020 9:47 a.m.

WASHINGTON — As Congress and President Donald Trump wrangle over how to manage the coronavirus outbreak and stave off an economic recession, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says the federal response should stay focused “where the problem is” — building up testing capacity, bolstering first responders with protective gear and speeding up the development of vaccines and treatments.

“It’s been a wild week in the stock market, we’ve seen stocks plummet. It has not helped that we’ve also got an oil price war breaking out at the same time, both of those are having pretty negative impacts on the economy,” Cruz said on the latest episode of his podcast, “Verdict,” which he recorded from his living room, where he is self-quarantined after coming into contact with someone with the virus at an annual gathering of conservatives.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

.@realDonaldTrump is working to stop the spread of #coronavirus and keep Americans safe.

Meanwhile, House Democrats are bringing the #NoBanAct to the floor, which would hinder @POTUS from using his authority to restrict travel, like he's done to prevent the spread of #COVID19.

Influenza B is a REAL disease.

Influenza B REALLY killed 136 children in the US this flu season.

No schools were closed.
No stocks sold off.

COVID-19 has killed ZERO children and only 30 very old, very sick adults, but we treat it like the plague.

100% politics.
