Interesting how AP goes out of their way to make the US seem less that what it is.

THE FACTS: No, they did not say they will cover copays for treatment.

As Vice President Mike Pence stated more accurately, the insurers agreed to cover coronavirus testing with no cost sharing — so no copays or deductibles.


doesn’t “so no copays” mean the same as covering copays?

Yep.

Ain’t much of a pandemic when 3 people under 70 in a country of 329 million die.

One bad car accident can have more victims.

If it wasn’t for Trump’s bad press, he’d have no press at all.

Why don’t these three authors, CALVIN WOODWARD, HOPE YEN and DAVID RISING (why do so many of these libs need teams for writing articles?), choose any country except the U.S. and go there to ride out the Wuhan War so that they can be assured of good medical treatment if they get sick.

Chuck Schumer wants you to know Congress is in Control. HE called Trump to order a National Emergency. You don’t have to worry

LOL

If ebola spread as easily as this virus and it was here I would be TERRIFIED and shoot people that came within 20 yards of my home. Unless it was mom :)

This ain’t ebola.

Take precautions? Yes.

Shut the United States of America DOWN? No.

Taiwan has done better than we have because Taiwan heard and understood what was coming immediately due to mainland contacts. China shut off travel to and from China and isolated the forty exposed folks that had come in already. I think that is all the virus they got. The rest of the world got the info from Taiwan early but did not understand it and did not react so quickly.

And what’s funny is some of those same names are all bent out of shape about the federal dollars being spent now.

This BS makes me wonder if there isn’t a flip-side to the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

Maybe if the boy cries “Wolf!” endlessly and hysterically enough, once or twice there might happen to be a wolf in the area.

Since no one can remember all the times he is wrong, the chance occurrences stand out more in people’s minds, giving them, and him, undo credibility. Also, his odds of such occurrences increase with his cries of alarm.

This is also much easier and safer work than finding real wolves.

Preachin’ to the choir, man.

I spent all day yesterday trying to find the miserable unsweetened almond I have to drink but NO, apparently, along with toilet paper, that is also a now Precious Commodity.

Bitched about the collective insanity to anyone within earshot, at every store.

There were lots of other people shopping, just trying to get their usual stuff and facing the same Apocalyptic Shelves as I was.
