OVERHYPED TRASH...LET IT SPREAD...Even Trump has turned into a slave for the media narrative.”


If the US and President Trump were the only country reacting to this, you might have a point, but the fact is every nation that has been touched by Wuhan is taking extreme measures to try and contain it—even nations that don’t give a rip about media narratives. The leaders of these nations, including China, seem to be quite willing to completely tank their economies to try and slow the spread of this disease. I have to conclude that they know something we don’t know. Something quite unpleasant—more unpleasant than high unemployment, wrecked economies etc. That is my clue.

She’s 93. I think she looks pretty darn good for her age.

The leaders doth protest too much, me thinks.

If the Wuhan virus was just a happenstance mutation from a bat virus, nobody would blame the Chinese for it's existence. But trying to cover-up it's existence in the early weeks, and now desperately trying to create the impression that someone else brought it to them, is pretty dang telling that they were involved in creating it. They screwed up.

That troll/flubro/dittohead posted this on another thread:

"I am fully invested in the stock market and have lost a ton. For confidential reasons I am not permitted to manage my own money - other do it for me and I have no say."

Moving this over from the old thread.

TX

Just had a phone call from our congressman for a town hall on CV with him and a Dr. Schmit (?). It went rather well. The majority of the questions were intelligent but were a month or more behind. At least people are finally waking up and asking.

Some of the highlights were:

Schools are probably closed for the rest of the year.

Incubation is up to 15 days.

Granbury (?) has 20 test kits for 60k people. I don’t know if the Dr. meant enough tests for 20 people or 20 full box loads of kits. The tone of his voice sounded more like 20 people.

The US was late catching on to how severe CV was and basically missed the window in stopping it. Behind time to eliminate it. If everyone (world) would isolate for 2 weeks, we could stop it, but that will never happen. (that’s what I’ve been saying)

Summer heat is not going to help.

Clueless on contaminated mail.

Sticking a blow drier up your nose isn’t going to help.

Neti pot isn’t going to help.

Dr. was clueless on the malaria meds saying it’ll be months to test any drug.

Also, right after the town hall:

Gov. Abbott issues executive order - 140+ cases. Multiplied by 300%

No more than 10 in a group.

Close bars and restaurants. Drive thru ok.

Don’t enter nursing homes.

Schools temp closed midnight tomorrow to Apr. 3. Online studies.

This is not a shelter in place. No limit on travel. Encourage work at home. Practice good hygiene. People must reduce public contact.

Hong Kong stridently enforced containment and quarantine.

Never had to move to mitigation or suppression.

Could be a number of reasons...from having a Guardian to funds being in a blind trust for legal reasons

I also have funds I have no control over and worry if I am going to go broke...hopefully not the case. I do know it is lost a ton but I dont go around calling the virus fake.

They were all told a miracle drug would be announced by the prezzy today. None of them realize yet that we are not going back to normal.

I have funds I’m completely in control of and have lost tremendous value on paper. On paper, it will come back.

It’s like they’ve had their eye on gramma’s house. And would she just die already so they can have that.

Should we tell them they might be immune yet sterile?

Any doubt about its feelings on death panels?
