Take a deep breath, and dig in.

I guess I should be glad that it is still legal to think. I have a feeling Mr. Ferrara is exactly right.

The whole flippin' world has been "had".

Will comment more tomorrow.

I have always thought the virus was bad, but the panic was even worse.

tough crappy flu for jam-packed cities.

For this we went into World War Z bunkers?

I pray PDJT has the insight, I know he has the guts, to bring us out of this 1950’s era bomb-shelter panic.

People are pretty smart. They’ll figure it out. Hope so.

I’ve been saying this from the start. The whole thing has been a case of media-fueled public hysteria.

I honestly fear for the survival of FreeRepublic ... because a lot of the so-called “champions of freedom and liberty” here have turned out to be nanny-state frauds.

Has the world been had? This is a novel virus, meaning it has never been seen. Does it affect red blood cells so that they can not carry oxygen? Does it attack lungs and other organs? Does it attack the CNS, or, testicles (some would say same thing). There is a lot that is not known and some that is.

In any which case, I came to the conclusion that neither my wife or I need not catch this virus as we tick off all the favorite co-morbidities, or at least a few of them.

I lost my Spring Fair season. We have no money coming in. Whether the world was taken for a ride or not....I don’t know. I do know that its too early to die.

I concur, the entire Chicom virus thing seems to have been embellished, and blown out of proportion, mainly by the Democrats and their panic peddlers in the media.

The Emporer’s New Plague has always lacked the piled up corpses necessary to sustain the panic.

It will keep going here at Free Republic for several more months at least because the people who panicked have stated thing to those who did not which they will not be able to walk back and justifiably so.

We’ll never know for sure the consequences had we not taken the actions we did.

I liken it to Y2K. A lot of people complain it was a “non-event”, and it was over-hyped. But it literally took millions of man hours to make it a “non-event”.

As has been pointed out here more than once, the fact that the NYC subway has not been shut down speaks louder than anything Fredo’s brother might say at one of his briefings.

It is becoming clearer with each passing day that the death toll from the Wuhan virus is not rising exponentially

Flat wrong - until the beginning of this month deaths were rising exponentially: 28% larger each day than the previous day.

I think the author thinks "exponential" means really, really big.

No. 1 & 2 causes of death in the US - Heart disease and cancer.

I was thinking this today—I watch the daily Trump Show press conferences faithfully—if reporters think it worthy to ask if Trump should pardon Joe Exotic of Tiger King, then the crisis is surely over.

Yes.

And instead of blaming the libtards that caused this, guess who’s now going to be blamed.

Not the libtards who first ignored it, then freaked out like little girls and demanded everything shut down and martial law go into effect, not the ones who desteoyed the economy and jobs, or whose worthless craptacular computer ‘models’ were derived from the move 28 days later,

nope guess who the socialist libtards and media muppets are going to attsmpt to blame.

The same person they have blamed all along for first, “overreacting” while they focused on impeachment, then for not doing enough, now to be blamed for not seeing he should have never listened to the hysterical libtards in the first place.

“IF YOU KNEW WE WERE WRONG YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED ME FROM DOING IT!!!’

This is the level of socializt libtard we are left with in the current american situation.

You know it will happen. They are self centered socialist infants.

And I still hold the opinion that the leftist and their media disciples of deceit have intentionally been throwing gas on this fire, attempting to turn it into a political weapon against Trump and this coming election in November.

And they didn't give two s**ts about who got hurt in the process.

Speculation

The Wuhan lab was obviously working on a bioweapon .....it seems.....but perhaps it accidentally escaped before it was suppose to....
...in other words, it was meant to be far worse, and was not finished

But when whatever happened....happened....they just ‘went with it’
.....panicked the world....
....and hoped to provide a vaccine from Gates/Soros

Is that too far fetched.......or common sense

Y2K was a different issue. There was code across so many different systems that did need to be changed to prevent errors. Not all systems were critical, of course, but also consider data corruption and the time it would have taken to try to deal with that.

I was working on y2k issues for several years on both critical systems and noncritical systems.

It was all a media and democrat created crisis, in order to make Trump look bad and get him out of office; one way or another.

Politics closed down the country and jobs and businesses. Coronavirus is bad, but not so bad that the economy had to take trillions of dollars in losses.
