Heck, while we are at it, why not suspend congress and adjourn it till after the next election.

He can do that you know.

This has gone way beyond the realm of reality.

Ah, he’s probably in his combat outfit with paint under his eyes and his gun pointing straight ahead waiting for zombies to come and take his canned beans.

Don’t ruin it for him :)

Surprising isn’t it that this panic was not sounded in 2009 when H7N7 virus killed over 12,00 US citizens.

As more test are done you will see more confirmed cases abut death rate dropping as it already has started to do that’s because it is more mild than reported for most people and so far only serious cases get counted for the most part. There will be more deaths, it might even surpass the 12,461 deaths in US in 2009 from H7N9 aka swine flu.

But the fatality rate for COVID 19 is nowhere near as high as some alarmist make it out to be. That is why no one, repeat ZERO under the age of 10 has died anywhere in the world.

The country that has done the most testing that can be relied upon is S Korea , they have tested well over 250,000 and have 7,869 cases and 66 deaths for a fatality rate of .008 or less than 1%. That is more than the flu but nothing like what some are reporting here and in the news.

As a matter of fact if you add up the top 15 countries with reported cases excluding China, Italy and Iran ) you get over 20,446 cases and 247 deaths for a fatality rate of .012-about 1%. It’s probably lower and more in line with S Korea as many cases are even more mild.

I heard that the state of Michigan and the state of Georgia have both suspended public education schooling for the near future. I wonder if that wouldn't be wise Nationwide. I know the corona task force worked out an arrangement with the medical industry and insurance providers as far as waiver of co-pays. I wonder if they couldn't have a contract with AT&T, Verizon, and the other carriers to waive data fees for educational purposes.

Your comment reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain: "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while Congress is in session."
