Fact Check: Trump addresses nation on coronavirus

President Donald Trump and top U.S. health officials addressed the nation Wednesday evening as governments worldwide worked to combat the spread of. Their comments came as the U.S. saw its first instance of infection in a person without relevant travel history or exposure to another patient known to have the virus.

Less than an hour later, the CDC confirmed the California case involving a person who did not travel to China and was not exposed to another person with the virus. According to the CDC, there have been at least 29 million flu illnesses and 16,000 deaths from flu so far this season. The season is not yet over, but the number of estimated flu deaths so far this year is below the range that Trump cited.Vaccine in 'fairly quick manner'

During a Feb. 17 meeting with USA TODAY’s editorial board meeting, Fauci said it would take at least one year to 18 months to make a vaccine that is safe and effective and ready to distribute.Still, Fauci said the vaccine will be important and would be useful if COVID-19 returns next year as a seasonal respiratory virus.

The United States scored in the bottom tier of countries for access to health care “owing to lack of governmentally guaranteed access to healthcare plus high out-of-pocket expenditures per capita,” the report said.Vice President Mike Pence, tapped to oversee the Trump administration's coronavirus response, cited his experience handling MERS in Indiana, where the first U.S. case was confirmed.

You communicate in double talk to downplay anything Trump says. Is any country fully prepared for everything? Is it not enough that we are the best prepared? Are we ready for a Yellowstone super-volcanic eruption or a meteor crash? Try to just report the news in a balanced way!

Another deadbeat Donald lie. Lock him up.

This is not a joke 😳The outbreak is in the USA🇺🇸NOW! Let’s keep informed in what the President is Saying 🇺🇸📢 God Bless Everyone 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When we seek truth in a headline, and fail to read the article...

Soooo...this is placed here why? If nobody is fully ready and we were rated 1 regularly...this is Trump's fault...or something?

Empty balloons at the helm doesn't help matters much either.

This is not a joke the outbreak 😷 is America NOW!! Everyone take it seriously 😳. Let’s keep in inform in what the President is saying .🇺🇸🙏🏼

He full of bs and we need to take care of ourselves. Stop eating out, stay away from sick people, wash hands.

Let’s not forget Johns Hopkins Centre is an American institution, this ranking is on brand w calling potus ‘leader of the free world’ or calling baseball series (wherein no other country plays) the World Series 🤣 titles & ranks about as useful as a nickel in my pocket.

Fact check: USATODAY is a biased left wing liberal media paper. True.

Face it. Your whole lies about the virus is solely to save the Stock Market and NOT the American People.

This sums up pretty much every media fact-check ever. Fact Check: 'What Trump said is true, but we are going to bring up something irrelevant that he didn't say and give the impression that he is lying.'

ok.... but he said we are number 1. Johns Hopkins says we are number 1. Are you actually trying to fact-check him? Screenshotting this to show people when they say the media doesn't have an agenda.

Everyone is prepared, but no one is ever 100% exempt from Viruses , ANYWHERE.
