President Trump has put Vice President Mike Pence in charge of organizing the effort to prevent a coronavirus outbreak in the US

As the fear of novel coronavirus increase among travelers, Los Angeles International Airport is cleaning public areas and facilities at least once an hour, airport spokesperson Becca Doten tells CNN.“We’re disinfecting LAX every hour,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference. “We’re making sure that those points of entry and those places where we could see somebody come in and create a vector, are as secure as we can possibly make them knowing we can never have 100% security.

The CDC continues to screen some arriving passengers for potential signs of coronavirus, and more than 100 additional hand sanitizer stations have been installed throughout the airport.

How is that working out?

What a great idea. Let aman who doesn’t believe in science chair this! I wish this was my idea. 😏

Trump administration accused China for not being transparent about the virus situation before, but that’s exactly what they are doing now! Hypocrites! Liars! Bullies! Not so easy when it happens to your country, right? TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpBudget

so we're doomed

Related news: the coronavirus identifies as a transgender atheist virus.

Not feeling very confident in this at all.

This is why the market dropped 1,000 points a day later...

Please write this man a script

Mike Pence when he finds out coronavirus has nothing to do with gay people and he can’t shame them/attempt conversion therapy

In nice to see what a calming impact he has on the stock market with his announcement and talk to the American people. A mere 1200 points DOWN.

Brilliant. Set him up to fail so you can dump him for a new running mate. That’s Trump style management. So what if millions of Americans die of the Corona virus because Trump put his idiot in charge instead of scientists.

Great. Just letting someone lead who has failed at medical issues multiple times.

Perfect! Another position Pence can hold without doing anything!

😂😂😂

Dam how long before he throws him under the bus.

Trump put Pence in charge to be his fence in case things go wrong!!! Then trump can dump Pence and put a new VP in for his second run as President!!! That somebody will probably be Nikki Haley!!!

Now it's the right time to organize prayer meeting!😂

He cannot find anybody else who wants to work in his administration. It's not something someone wants to put in their resume for future job opportunities.

The dummies that describe it differently, have all taken it for a ride.

Excellent choice for a Situation Manager!

Well done

Were dead 😂😂😂

Were dead

What? We are in deep trouble. What does pence know about virus and or containment?

Contact Vietnam , they must know a cure all 16 are cured...

Like seriously

Did he talk about Alabama it getting the Hurricane again 😂😂😂😂

So what's Pence gonna go? Start a prayer circle?

Talent to track a virus? 🤣 listen to this talented idiot talking! stupidtrump

Great. Put a do-nothing corpse in charge of a rapidly spreading virus. We’ll just wait and see if he gets it before we panic. All we can hope for is that he’ll take it back to the White House and spread the love.

Can you say SCAPEGOAT? Sure ya can.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The World is at ease! The Man who doesn’t believe in science is heading a medical crisis. Good choice.

Could we have any less confidence in this out of control administration? TrumpIsAnIdiot

This is scary. Fact1- we can't believe the Chinese. I knew it was worse once they assigned numbers to it. Fact2 - our president makes a lot of money in China he will cover for them. Fact3 Trump never tells the truth he lies about everything large and small. vote

I know he isn’t a good choice but the country lies in the hands of him and his crew. I can only give him good luck like anyone else would do if the decision was made.

Hahhahahahha they are Totally!! Brilliant , that's a relief and me worrying over here.

Yea FoxNews it always is Trumps fault right

Before pray, let’s study some physical alternatives InYourFace lacommune 1871isback IamCelebrity4U COVID19

Way to go! When things go wrong he can always say it wasn’t him.

Wait for it. VPPence Rx. Let Us Pray

So when it has an outbreak does that mean he can throw his little minion under the bus?

Will he fire him, then, when the virus goes viral? Is this a set up for Mike, so Nikki can step in?

Kiss of death...

The man who said smoking cigarettes does not kill. The Anti Science guy. Swell.

Oh God help us all!

WOW!!

That’s comforting.

The poison chalice - Pence and Hancock . Watch both their gallant leaders behaviours when the inevitable spread occurs?

Let’s just hope Pence doesn’t have a dream where Jesus tells him the coronavirus is sacred.

Let’s put the religious zealot who doesn’t believe in science in charge of controlling a potential pandemic. Can’t argue w/ that. Sound logic.

Expect more cases so and scientifically proven advice going out the window to be replaced with prayer time.

We're mucked up for sure now

bc Pence was the only who could write the word coronavirus?

Anyone else notice that Trump is borderline wearing blackface at this point?

Yes so when the virus gets out of control then he have someone to blame for it and not have to worry about anything going to him!

Well , the USA can sleep easily now ! Pence is the moron who ‘doubts cigarettes cause lung cancer ‘ . You might as well be on the Titanic !

fuchun1901

Dumb & Dumbier

When we have a probable threat trump can't even do that so now he can blame pence lol

realDonaldTrump as well as $4.2 million from Aging & Disability Services, and many more. It is devastating to the poor, the weak and the elderly. Just another example for his a Total disregard for human life of his meeker citizens! America WAKE UP Write your congressman!

Now I know we’re in trouble!

And accordingly Mike_Pence will work closely to convince corona to believe in Jesus he_made_a_farmer

We at mapsofworld have been tracking the spread of coronavirus since 27th January 2020. We have been updating this article with the latest map and figures regularly. coronavirus COVIDー19

He publicly put pence in charge so when shit goes south you know who's to blame. There's no way Pence doesn't see what Trump is doing.

We are doomed.

he's gonna pray the virus away

Yup that will work

I would have tapped up Ben Carson for this one

Get ready for “Pray Away the Cough,” America!

Maybe if Trump gets it he will actually give a shit? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now I know we're fcked

I feel so reassured!

He’s gonna pray

What is Mike’s certain talent? Denying science, denying cigarettes kill, not being able to be in a room with women? What?

👍 Great choice. As a former governor, he knows the ropes🤗

So happy we have an expert in infectious diseases keeping us safe. Heading over to Amazon to buy a respirator...

It’s not something he can blame on the democrats so he can’t be bothered with it, let the lapdog deal with that

Good he is moving forward with protecting us citizens. It is sad that the very same people who called him a racist for closing our boarders and sided with the Chinese, now are saying he moved to slowly!

Yeesh. This guy is pretty damm set on destroying this country. I wonder if our enemies send him christmas cards?

He already looked dazed 🥴 I’m no sure if he can manage!!!

Trump could walk on water and liberal heads would explode

What has the VP organized before that we should look to as for what to expect?

I’ve just explained this critical situation to my counterpart staff in US, they understood to stop all business trip from japan, TOYOTA. Hoping no more pandemic.

Expect more bans on Countries that have nothing to do with it.

Love the way trump always puts someone else in charge so he can blame them when it all goes south. Such a coward. If everyone marched who gets the virus in mass to the W H he might quit and never come back to the USA. If only!

Then we'll all have the disease by the end of the month.

Fall guy!!!!

I guess The Rock was busy?

Thoughts and mother fucking prayers with that. 😷☠💒🙏☣🚫

Is he recommending conversion therapy?

Here’s Trump’s Pence Virus Lead play. It’s really a hedge against the Democratic ticket. Virus will mutate but If Dem ticket looks strong, he’ll blame Pence for virus & replace VP on ticket. Dems will have a woman VP, so Trump will likely add a woman to look good. Just watch

What qualifications Pence have?

This is a joke; as IN Gov Pence proved unable to handle a public health crisis. Add to that his inability to believe in science and this is a recipe for disaster. But don’t worry, if you’re rich you’ll be able to afford the vaccine. Everyone else, not so much.

LOL....Well I suppose with the critical help of Rush Limbaugh as medical consultant and Franklin Graham as religious over watch I'm totally confident Mike can pray it away. Look how successful he was with his last epidemic. America...buckle up.

... And we’re dead. Great.

Guess how much money House Democrats have proposed over the last few months to combat the Coronavirus? $0 The second president Trump threw out $2 billion the Holier than thou Democrats decided they cared and decided to manufacture outrage.

Are we gonna pray it away now?

Brilliance at its best 🙄😳😡

Great! 🙄

Try to stay out of politics, but appointing a man who believes scientific evidence as 'myth' is like appointing an atheist to lead a Sunday sermon. All and all, stay safe folks; gonna get rough.

Great he will save the country by prayer

Take two jesuses and call me in the morning.

(Marveling at the comments here) As much as some of you are paid to give false impressions, through tweeting, that your notions are representing the majority in this country...are those comments the best you can come up with? Reminds me of the current state of the primaries.

Wow, problem solved then - that's great news

I am going to be announcing right now that there is no team and that I just told Mike twenty minutes ago he’s up! He has no experience in this so it should be tremendous

This VP Mike Pence? Yup.. that should make us feel better that we have an intelligent leader who respects science coordinating our Country’s coronavirus efforts.

Otherwise known as Project Haley. Let Mike take the fall for inaction and bring Nikki back from Death Valley.

avaasiastasia so basically... we dead dead

So this is going to go over well

Less than comforting.

Thoughts and prayers tho!

Because Dr Seuss didn’t call him back?

Look at Pence. He's not in charge of his own thoughts. USELESS!!!

Setting Pence up for when this goes to shxt!

Good thing we have one of America’s top scientific minds on the case...🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh, never mind. Yeah we’re F’d...🤦🏻‍♂️

I was really disappointed in Sanjay. He should have thrown some FACTS in, yell, make some noise !!!

I hiperactiva he will do Wellisch

Feeling Full of Confidence *NOT*

Can you say “fall guy”?

I feel much better........

OMG... We in trouble.. I'm gonna go stock up on soups, meds, vicks vapor rub, lysol, and twizzlers.. Staying in the house for a month!

Excellent choice! VP Pence is an intelligent, driven and highly articulate professional who will get things done! Bravo Mr. President!

I hope he does better than he did with HIV in Indiana. He caused a major outbreak of HIV in Indiana by stopping clean needle exchange.

The USA is F.......

Hahahahaha

IDIOT

We’re fucked

That’s CZAR Pence to you CNN. 😂

Because he did so well with the HIV outbreak in his state... We’re doomed.

Better late than never.🤷🏽‍♂️

If a female doctor has a cure but is alone in a room, will Mike_Pence meet with her or wait for his wife to join them

Well I guess I can sleep tonight.😎

one flu east one flu west one flu over the cuck’s nest

Trump did that so he can blame mike if the virus takes hold in America. Wonder if mike will be on the 2020 ticket as trumps VP again? I'm betting not.

Sure so now this contiguous virus is being lead by a guy who doesn’t believe in science? This is f’up in all sorts of ways. vote2030 votestupidityout voteouttrump

Go Pence!

God help us all

Copy cat.

No person better equipped MAGA

Don’t worry, Uncle Baby Billy will save your soul.

Pence will try to pray it away.

Lordy, ANYONE but Trump in charge of tracking Coronavirus! Pence most likely reads above a 6th grade level, big worry is will he be able to tell Trump the truth w/o getting in trouble

Mike’s the patsy...

realDonaldTrump to VP

At least we know the President can trust VP Pence.

If any person have the virus it will show after 15 days not right away

Good lord! Pence?!

Hey Mikey, make the virus go thru those conversion therapy’s you love so much.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well that makes me feel a whole lot better. 😭😭😭

Trumps White House lies a lot can you trust the COVID2019 numbers or how good or bad things are?

Dumb and Dumber

Let Mikey do it...

We are doomed

If he could pass the virus on to Donald we would all be very thankful

What is Jared or Kudlow out of town?

Excuse me...Would that be Jim Carrey or Jeff Daniels?

That’s reassuring? Thoughts and prayers.

Mike pences solution to anything is conversion therapy. So he’s going to round up the sick and put them into conversion therapy camps. Pray the virus out of them. 👍🏼🖕🏼

Does he suddenly have a degree in epidemiology I didn’t know about? Or any health care crisis experience? Or heck, I’d accept having been a candy striper when he was young.

Of course, so he can throw him under the bus.

ariellewass This is comforting :)

Ffs what a shit show

🤣🤣🤣 we're all doomed

And by the look on Pence’s face...

Calling Dr. VP Pence

He’s so effing playing him.

Trump: 'I'm going to ease your worries... Pence is going to be in charge' Me: 'We are all going to die'

Ie we are fucked

Pence in charge. So 45 can pin the blame on him.

That's one way to get VP out of his way, so that IvankaTrump can be his running mate in the fall. Set Pence up for a huge fail, force him to resign come April/May. Boom. Here comes Nepotism Barbie to the rescue.

We’re all going to die 🤦🏻‍♀️

That sounds like an excuse for some big government and privacy violations... I’m wary

And the wheels have fallen off

He’ll think it’s the rapture and not do anything knowing this guy.

This is Pence record dealing with a public health crisis

so its fucked then

vp? I feel so much safer now, especially since I'm white, heterosexual and a Christian! CoronavirusOutbreak coronavirususa

A man who does not understand science, or math, or spelling has appointed a religious nut to oversee a potential epidemic. Stocks will drop by 2000 at dawn.

Finally he is trusting pence yo do something!

Oh no...☹️

Am I the only one that went, we are screwed?

It's all because of last night's debate.

According to Trump it’s all under control do why? This administration is nightmare!

Don’t worry Jared and Ivanka have this right after peace in the Middle East

Incompetent
