You read about how many people die a year from the flu,car accidents,how about how many babies are murdered Of course democrats are always the ones who want to regulate,tax the first two,but will fund the third with 10s of millions of dollars,now all of a sudden they slam a President who is working around the clock to provide equipment that was NOT replenished by the same people slamming him for years!
I suggest we solve this flu just like we survived the Swine Flu.
There are thousand more kill every day that they don’t give a damn about
In some circles they even say it is a business decision, they don’t want to put a career or film role on hold for a human life
I thought that socialists/communists believe that individuals are expendable for the greater good of society.
That must be only when the sacrificial lambs are not them and theirs.
Medical Ethics was my hardest class in Med School. The easiest class in Med School and I damn near flunked. In fact I DID flunk but they called me back and gave me a “Second Chance” to take the test. So I did get an “A”.
It was a single question, your patient with terminal breast cancer asks for a medication to end her own life. I went to a Catholic Med School. “You really CAN’T fight City Hall.”
He must have invested in a different pharmaceutical company
In a time of war, people are, by necessity, expendable to a variety of degrees depending on the circumstances.
Nobody knows this better than a soldier holding an untenable position with no hope of relief, or a tin can forced to go toe to toe with a battleship, both expected to do something to keep the enemy from winning the engagement, the battle, and the war.
This only holds true philosophically if the war is a real one. If this is a real war against a disease, then by default, there are going to be some people who are expendable. I may indeed be one myself, though I hope not.
But the same people screaming nobody is expendable are the same people screaming we are at war...which makes us understand all to clearly how politically motivated it all is.
NO ONE has said that we would have a million deaths BY NOW.
But it is simple math that if the virus spreads through the country, without some sort of advance in fighting it that we do not currently have, that it could kill a million people even if the fatality rate is less than 1%.
The number of deaths in the US is now doubling every 3-4 days.
Continuing at that rate, without taking measures to slow the spread, we could be at a million deaths by early May.
4-day doubling:
March 25: 785
March 29: 1570
April 2: 3140
April 6: 6280
April 10: 12560
April 14: 25120
April 18: 50240
April 22: 100480
April 26: 200960
April 30: 401920
May 4: 803840
May 6: > 1 million
That's why they're telling everyone to stay at home.
We are freaked out by a respiratory bug. But people still smoke and vape.
People are funny.
Yada, yada, yada....
Just kiddin’.

Sorry not buying it. Trump was headed for a MASSIVE re-election win!
The deep state and the commie left won’t have any of that. They will do WHATEVER they need to destroy Trump.
The media couldn’t have given a hoot that Obama did nothing to protect the elderly during the swine flu outbreak.
Everyone in the UK, France, Italy, and India have been ordered to stay in their houses. In Spain and Italy together, over 2500 people have died from the virus in the last two days. What do you think this has to do with Trump's re-election?
Then quarantine her for the duration. STAY AWAY from her. Keep her away from EVERYONE. NO PERSONAL CONTACT. Have a prescription for chloroquine and Zithromax Z-Pak at the ready.
Should we keep the entire economy shut down for your mother?
Take some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I know, people are selfish. Let someone ELSE do it for me.
The Simpsons have a commentater named Kent Brockman who routinely issues inflamatory newscasts. At the end of one particularly horrific statement, a low voice comes on saying "May not be true."

Yes, Now I need to go shopping.
