Considering the competing factions and opinions he’s being barraged with, the President is doing the most excellent job. He should take a short break, rest and take care of himself for another round with the noisy peanut gallery of national and world politics.

This will all pass. Look at the a-holes who are using this crisis as their gain.

[null and void]

We do this for every just a flu, bro...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

President DJT declares a Nation emergency, where are the “this is just the flu” people now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reasoned based response is being out-shouted by DOOM! DOOM! and once DOOM! becomes “real” in the minds of the listeners, Trump has to meet some of their expectations to keep them from from driving even further panic.

Precautions against Coronavirus are undoubtedly helping to stop the spread of the flu too.

Correction welcome.

Maybe we should

where are the “this is just the flu” people now?

The first known case in this country was on January 15 at SeaTac Airport. Unfortunately, other people who had been in China slipped through and people at a local nursing home got sick and some died. In the next two months since, we have had around 30 deaths and a couple hundred confirmed cases in the entire country. In the same time period the flu has both infected and killed hundreds of times as many people.

President Trump's hand has been forced by this political and media farce. All this nonsense will probably lower the impact of the current flu season, but it will have a devastating effect on the economy. So don't be an idiot and work yourself into a tizzy. This nonsense will not end until November 4th, because that is what it is really all about.

How sad you can’t see that he had no choice but to exercise more government control because of all the panic-mongers out there...

So, which Dem campaign are you working on Noob?
Don’t forget to click on a “Donate” link while you help spread the Left’s propaganda.

Kind of ironic - we know that the Deep State and others use fear as a way to steer and control the people - we had the commie/nuke war threat until the Berlin Wall came down then it wasn’t viable anymore and up pops Globull Warming, which has many in fear that we’re gonna destroy the Earth even as we do less harm than past generations and none of the data actually supports anything but the earth’s climate and Mother Nature do not now, and never did have a “balance” and even if they did, we have no idea of how to maintain one or ‘fix’ things...all our efforts end up causing more harm....the coronavirus scare is no different - the panic-induced knee-jerking will cause more harm than the virus.
Folks who would be up in arms if the government decided to tell them they could not move freely are now begging that same government to lock them, and everyone else, down....I’d wager if, after doing that, the story ‘evolved” they would also go meekly to barb-wire surrounded camps/tent cities because the “latest info” said that’s the only way to stop it.
Even though we know that they use fear to guide and control us, so many can’t see it through the red haze of insane panic....they not only welcome the government controls, they beg for them...

Maybe you should take off your tin foil hat and mask and blinders long enough to get perspective...most Flu seasons infect and kill many more time the amount of coronavirus cases we have and it has been around for over half a normal Flu season...yet very little angst happens over those Flu seasons as they roll around year after year after year...you seem to be one of those particularly sensitive to the fear techniques.
