You can go to work with coronavirus

I don’t think that’s what he was trying to say, but who knows what that babbling idiot meant?
Something is wrong with his brain, he's just impossible to have sympathy for.
Yeah, because we’re lagging behind all the other first world countries in testing for it. This isn’t a good thing dummy.
It’s narcissism. All the best autocrats have it.
He went to Wharton. You have to be, like really smart to go to Wharton. Tremendously smart. He knows more than those so called scientists.
Yep. And the fact we are going to decide between 2 old people with brain issues maybe says more about us.
Thank god you’re perpetually unemployed.
This. He's not saying it's okay to go to work. He's saying some people have it and don't even realize it's coronavirus because they have mild symptoms and they continue working and get better.
At least that's what I think he's saying.
Trump would love HROT. I’m not kidding. He’s the message board president. He’d be a cross between OiT and Northern.
At least he's finally aware of how many people die from the flu now. It only took him 74 years to learn about it.
Northern and OiT are both smarter and much more reasonable than Trump.

I wish I could think this was simple trolling, but your posting history suggests otherwise.
What would you think if a colleague then died of it? Would you feel responsible? What would you say to their family?
Selfish people like you are one of the big reasons I am worried we will not be able to contain this as well as other countries.
Hes got a hunch guys. Its going to be okay.
And what we should be doing is testing people who are borderline in an effort to contain the outbreaks. And he should be encouraging people with connections to those outbreaks to get tested at the earliest possible moment.
If we had testing kits to do that. Amid more bungling...

A top federal scientist sounded the alarm about what he feared was contamination in an Atlanta lab where the government made test kits for the coronavirus, according to sources familiar with the situation in Atlanta.
Driving the news: The Trump administration has ordered an independent investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab, and manufacturing of the virus test kits has been moved, the sources said.
Why it matters: At the time the administration is under scrutiny for its early preparations for the virus, the potential problems at the lab became a top internal priority for some officials. But the Trump administration did not talk publicly about the Food and Drug Administration’s specific concerns about the Atlanta lab.
- Senior officials are still not saying exactly what the FDA regulator found at the Atlanta lab.
- The CDC lab in Atlanta developed the testing formula for the coronavirus test — which the government says works — and was manufacturing relatively small amounts of testing kits for laboratories around the country. This is where the lab ran into problems, per sources familiar with the situation.
...and they're spreading it to people like out-of-shape, sedentary smokers, who are likelier to die from it.
Good luck with that Trad.
Hey, now. Trad isn’t sedentary. He travels for work.
I don’t disagree with you on testing. I’m simply correcting OP’s faulty premise that Trump is encouraging people who have coronavirus to keep going to work.
Considering most who have it don't know and don't show...what is it you don't get?
It is exactly what he is saying. He's totally downplaying the dangers of spreading this to at-risk people.
He’s not saying that people who know they have coronavirus should keep going to work. Just stop with that nonsense.
For the safety of America, I'm hoping you don't just get a minor case.
That cinches it. I am avoiding McDonalds until this thing passes.
"we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better."
My interpretation of this is that lots of people get sick but get better by sitting around or going to work but they will get better.
If he knows more than the Generals about ISIS he know more about CV than the doctors.
He is absolutely downplaying the risks, and implying it. That's what people hear.
What he’s saying (I think) is that there are many more cases of coronavirus than we realize because a lot of people have mild symptoms and just figure they have the usual seasonal cold or flu and continue with their normal routine without being tested. I see no way to spin this into Trump encouraging people known to have coronavirus to keep going to work.
