Pence: 'We could have more' coronavirus deaths

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday that while most Americans face a low risk from coronavirus, more US deaths could be imminent following the nation's first confirmed fatality.

"We know there will be more cases," Pence told CNN's Jake Tapper in a clip released Saturday, echoing President Donald Trump's earlier comments that additional cases in America were "likely." The full interview between Pence and Tapper is airing on Sunday's "State of the Union."

When asked whether more Americans could die from the disease, Pence, who Trump has put in charge of coronavirus response and messaging, replied, "It is possible."

Pence said that the situation explained to him by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and others is that "most people that contract the coronavirus, they will recover. They will deal with a respiratory illness, we'll get them treatment."

His Magic 8-Ball is on a hot streak.

5. He's going to get his pee pee slapped by Donnie

It almost sounded like a bit of honesty is slipping out

6. Whoa now - isn't Pence talking to Tapper ON CNN NO LESS a pretty big deal??!

Tapper had a run-in with LOSER45 in India and the entire trumpiverse rose up against him

Really, this is an amazing twist in our godforsaken plot

Seriously

7. Wowha,isn't CNN on the Orange Anus

kill list much like Comcast Media?

[Leghorn21]

10. Absolutely, and in fact he called them out during his fabulous BARF speech at that CAPC

gathering today -

This is a strange turn of events, for real!!

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Read the readout for that spew.

Funny thing about the Comcast part. One of Comcast's major stockholders as well as Board Members is the Orange Anus's largest Bundler as well as single donor.

BTW,the Orange Anus tombstoned a High Speed Rail build that would have caused his Donor some issues.

12. Why no one is talking about the 80,000 flu deaths in 2017?

Seasonal influenza is a killer, even in milder years. Lately, mild flu seasons tend to kill about 12,000 Americans, and more severe flu seasons kill up to 56,000.

2017 was the deadliest flu season since 1976, when the agency starting publishing annual influenza trends, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told the Associated Press in the fall.

16. Trump keeps bringing up flu deaths, but only as a distraction.

[at140]

17. Having spent a lifetime in engineering, I go by

proportions and reality. If average flu season kills 12,000 in a season in US and CoViD has killed a couple so far, I am not going to change my routine life over CoViD. Just got back from a cruise today on Carnival Esctasy ship. It was without a single problem, lot of fun and very good cuisine. Never saw a single soul wearing face masks on the ship, until we disembarked in Jacksonville, where I saw a few idiots wearing face masks. I am washing hands every chance I get to get away from ordinary flu, and don't have any face masks for CoViD. And I pay no attention to Trump.
