All things CoronaVirus

Way to go YA. I am sure we will be lectured from all the FLP cumquats on this forum about our insensitivity in not taking this pandemic seriously. It sure has given Wall St a case of the willies.

Nope, that's just your FRC projectionism showing. You've been told over and over that everything nowadays is partisan, and that you're always being attacked, and that anyone to the left of you can't take a joke.

It's a funny joke. Not sure why you had to bring in the FLP thing into it where it didn't exist in the first place.

The fact you don't understand it is all there is to say. I hope you are stocked up on face masks. The simple fact is from what I have heard today on the MSM they are already trying to create a panic as the corona virus will ultimately ravish the USA and kill hundreds of people, maybe even tens of people. I think my family should seal ourselves off in the basement and wait for the threat to pass. I am sorry, but not surprised that you are too much of a pin head to understand a simple joke.
For the record, I am not a FRC type. I am just a self acknowledged dick weed that has my own opinions on things. Some things I agree with are conservative, like living within our own means as a nation. Some things I agree with are way more liberal, like helping people that need help and don't confuse that help as being entitled to it. When was the last time you spooned out grub in a homeless shelter? Just axin padre. Ain't it ironic that my comments drew the lecture I expected from a typical thin skinned FLP cumquat.

I don’t see Jared on Trump’s coronavirus team. I have no confidence unless Jared is in charge.

cradle, you need to lighten up.
Stop constantly trying to pick a fight, insulting anyone who disagrees.
It's gotta be exhausting and you sure aren't persuading anyone.

Whether the virus proves to spread beyond our control here in the US remains to be seen, but it's now on every continent. People are indeed dying, though thankfully 98% of those who contract it do survive.

Let's together root for it to be contained without the sort of draconian measures being implemented in China, and hopefully a vaccine soon as well.

Pence is in charge. Those who are comforted should Google HIV Epidemic Indiana.

I know that r's on this thread only listen to faux news, so here:

Toward the end of his remarks, Kennedy put it bluntly: "You're supposed to keep us safe and the American people deserve some straight answers on the coronavirus and I'm not getting them from you."

US Leadership is a joke and have no idea how to deal with this issue.

Trump says that his team’s approach will be modeled on Indiana healthcare. He was going to model it on Massachusetts healthcare until he was told they call it RomneyCare there.

Trump has agreed to accept the Democrats’ offer of $8 billion. Says he will use any leftover funds for his wall.

Seems likely that we are headed towards a global pandemic and also a mild global recession.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/as ... story.html

Ain’t helpin’ that the folks at MIT (who can add and subtract good) are predicting a 70% probability of a U.S. recession within 6 months.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/05/70perce ... 0recession

Wish Trump’s focus was on keeping people healthy and preventing deaths, but reports suggest he is more concerned about his reelection. Looks more likely that we’ll be in recession (probably a mild one) by the time November rolls around.

Just hoping the U.S. can avoid a massive surge in Coronavirus cases.

What a waste of an hour. Absolutely no useful information. The press is worthless in drilling down. No known, problematic issues addressed.

Why would anyone believe a single word that comes from this administration.....

You would hope at least that some one in the press would ask the questions. There were two physicians there who could have added something you would think. The biggest questions have to do with the availability of medical supplies and diagnostic kits, which the written press has indicated are problematic.

[youthathletics]

So now the head of NIAID is also a liar and in on the big lie. Maybe they need some TDS medication invented.

“Our containment strategy has been working," said the White House chairman of the coronavirus task force.

But as he spoke, a coronavirus case was reported in California — and this person had not travelled to any of the affected regions of the world.

Only the Party over Country people...

Am I the only one that thinks he sounds like a used car salesman? Everything is incredible. Everybody is the best. Mike P will take care of it, he’s the best. We have the best people. India is an incredible country. Stock market reacting to Democratic debate.

When he’s on his own, he sounds like a con man. Reading from script he drones on like a cyborg. He is amazing.

Yup. Harold Hill ain’t got nothing on him.

I saw this was just reported. Looks like that thing that OD said wasn't certain to happen, that the doctors said was going to happen - just happened.

The problem is not with the doctors - it is with the press!

[Bart]

Even if the actual number of coronavirus infection cases is double the “official” count of around 80,000, the mortality rate would still be 1,000 times that of “ordinary” flu. That’s pretty frightening.

This epidemic can still be managed, but we’re definitely on the cusp of a global pandemic. If it truly becomes a pandemic, then we’re talking about many thousands of additional deaths and a potential global recession.

Care to explain your math here?

Yeah, what MDLaxfan said. You need to lighten up Francis, not everything is hyper-political. For the record I'm not a FLP type, even though you think everyone else is who isn't like you. You need to get over yourself. And lecturing? You're the one lecturing about the FLPs and typing out paragraphs on here.

My wife has a Dr. next to her name, so I'm pretty well versed on what's going on and we always have plenty of prophylactics at the house (I normally use the masks for woodworking and cutting the lawn). Have also worked plenty of homeless shelters and food banks since I was a teenager, not sure what that has to do with anything at all here. Enjoy your FUD

Yeah that kind of threw me for a loop. The 2019-2020 flu season currently has a mortality rate of about 50 deaths per 100,000 people. So if Doc's right, the Coronavirus kills 50,000 out of 100,000 people or 50% of the population.

It actually seems to kill around 2% and is probably less than that when all is said and done.
