This flubro stuff is so very juvenile. It took me a week to figure out you guys weren’t talking about HGTV’s property brothers.

They might tattoo us. I do guarantee that Flubros are not widely respected, even though we are wise and correct. In fact, I think many are disgusted by our views, unfortunately.

Bureaucrats have tended to overreact.

You need a little work on your anapestic heptameter. Try this.

A virus once came from the East
To usher the time of the Beast.
What stood in the way
Was old Donald J,
The man of the hour at the least.

I came here for the gallows humor, and am not disappointed.

[carikadon]

Definitely sticking with the Flubros.

And now it is over 20,000 flu deaths vs. 396 for coronavirus. Stop the hysteria!

Much better. I genuinely appreciate the improvement on my work :-)
Sentiment remains the same....and you are a good man (or woman) Charlie Brown!

I want to join this, but I am afraid comparing it to the flu is an actual upgrade in danger status for this thing. I mean the flu kills thousands of children all over the world every year. Can there be a “slightly under the weather for healthy bros” thread?

I mean if I caught this thing, I might actually have to cut my workouts short for a couple of days. Yikes.

Yes, fierce independence against Tyranny is always not respected by the tyrannical

[Publius]

Man, the last time I checked. If I were female, I'd be Publia. Basic high school Latin, my good man.

[impimp]

I would rather my kids catch Corona than the flu.

[Big Red Badger]

I’d like to see
Some Big Money
On This!

[gas_dr]

Well played my friend

[Kozak]

Book marking.
So I can find this in 6 weeks.

COSTS VERSUS BENEFITS.
A fine article by Scott Johnson at Powerline: www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/03/costs-versus-benefits.php
The links are very good too.

Stock market says -3% so far today. That is the consensus of people who put their money where their mouths are.

Not bad, considering all the “sky is falling” talk. We’ll see....

“Question: Will you be posting a mea culpa if you’re wrong?”

Will you?

[gas_dr]

I just didn’t want to make any assumptions. However anyone who can identify anapestic heptameter is probably a safe bet to assume Latin excellence

[higgmeister]

How do you become a flubro (or flubra) and join the caucus? Easy - all you have to do is correctly recognize that Wuhan Chinese flu is not really that dangerous compared to an ordinary flu and the government/media/health care industrial complexes are overblowing things.

I recognize that the COVID-19 is worse than the flu in the way that every flu strain has been called worse, than the previous, each couple of years than any previous flu virus strain.

I acknowledge that it is much worse in the fear mongering and Leftist pearl clutching panic that has been intentionally fomented to destroy our nation and government.

I understand it will be much worse when it is used as an excuse to pull the plug on every old person to fulfill the prediction of "death panels" from years gone by.

I know it is worse than the flu when it is used as a tool they cannot let go to waste by Democrat Socialist Marxists tools.

Am I one of those guys?

PS: I myself am an overweight diabetic retiree, but "everyday in every way I am getting better" to coin a hackneyed phrase from one hundred years ago.
